Episode Context

As episode 1 of 26, 'Angel Attack' is pure setup, introducing Shinji, Misato, the enigmatic NERV organization, and the existential threat of the Angels that will drive the entire series. No prior context is needed; this is the entry point. It directly feeds into episode 2, 'The Beast,' which deals with the immediate fallout of Shinji's first encounter and begins deepening the character dynamics established here.
