Anime fans counting down to being able to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion don’t have much longer to wait: the mind-bending mecha anime will hit Netflix this June.

The cult classic, which was broadcast in Tokyo in 1995, takes place in A.D. 2015. Tokyo 3 is under attack by powerful creatures known as the Angels. The protagonist, Shinji Ikari, is chosen to pilot the Humanoid Decisive Weapon Evangelion – the only way for humanity to fight against the Angels. The battle for the fate of​ ​humanity starts now. What exactly are the Angels? What fate awaits the young pilots and humanity itself?

Now, the anime — along with both films EVANGELION:DEATH TRUE² and The End of Evangelion — will be available to stream worldwide for the first time in history, with all 26 episodes landing on Netflix on 21st June. It joins a string of anime projects unveiled by Netflix in recent months, including Rilakkuma and Kaoru and 7SEEDS, as well as a newly expanded deal with multiple Japanese studios to produce series such as a new Altered Carbon spin-off.
