This past weekend, toonami celebrated it's 16th birthday and on top of that it's been nearly a year since it's april fools reboot. In honor of that they showed the movie Evangelion 1.11 (pronounced as one point one one), which is a four part movie series based on the original anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. NGE was regarded as a very popular anime even though it's ending was very confusing and the movies help to clear that up.
It's been awhile, nearly 10 years I think since I watched NGE so I didn't remember much of the story but 1.11 does a good job of setting up the plot and letting the viewers get to know the characters.
Over all for the first part, animation, artwork and music is pretty good. I haven't seen the other parts but they look to be good as the 1.11 ending leaves viewers with a good cliffhanger.

I recommend watching this.

Description:
Shinji Ikari is sent for by his estranged father, Gendo, the Supreme Commander of NERV. As Shinji wanders around the city of Tokyo-3, which has been deserted following an emergency announcement, he is caught in the crossfire between UN forces and the Fourth Angel. Lt. Colonel Misato Katsuragi rescues Shinji and brings him to GeoFront and NERV headquarters. Gendo then pressures Shinji into piloting Evangelion Unit-01 against the Angel, as the other Evangelion pilot, Rei Ayanami, is too injured to do so. Shinji initially refuses out of fear, but upon seeing Rei wrapped in bandages and carried in on a stretcher, he reluctantly agrees.
Shinji pilots Unit-01 and wins the fight after Unit-01 goes berserk and destroys the Angel. After the fight, Shinji is taken in by Misato as her new housemate and enrolled in high school. Shinji tries to settle in with his newfound life alongside Misato, Rei, and the others while he receives training to defend Tokyo-3 and the world from the coming Angels.
