Neon Genesis Evangelion (set) – front
We are placing some of our manga sets in the “Art” category and some in “Cinema/Television/Radio” because the stories are multi-media. “Neon Genesis Evangelion”‘s Japanese name translates as “Gospel of a New Century” and though these cards were made in China, the series is a Japanese science-fantasy animation series that first aired in October 1995 and became a cultural icon. This set has 32 unused cards, some of which appear in scan 30500104B (the back of the cover). Grade: 1
