Is an umbrella of Japanese media properties generally owned by the anime studio Gainax. It has grossed over 150 billion yen since 1995. The central works of the franchise feature an apocalyptic mecha action story, which revolves around the efforts by the paramilitary organization Nerv, to fight hostile beings called Angels.
