Eva 1.0: One of the Top Asian Films of 2009
Northwest Asian Weekly has released their Top 10 Asian films of 2009 and two Japanese animations were included. Ranking on the top spot was Miyazaki’s Ponyo, and at #7 was Evangelion 1.0: You Are [Not] Alone.
7. “Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone,” by Masayuki, Kazuya Tsurumaki, and Hideaki Anno. English voice cast includes Spike Spencer, Allison Keith, and John Swasey.
This is an essential Japanese anime. After the apocalypse, alien warriors continue to stalk and destroy humans. Only the pilots of the “mecha,” which are giant robots, can save what’s left of civilization. By focusing on the psychology of the warriors under tremendous stress, Hideaki Anno and his collaborators come up winners themselves.

1. “Ponyo,” (directed) by Hayao Miyazaki. English voice cast includes Tina Fey, Noah Cyrus, and Frankie Jonas.
2. “Kabei: Our Mother,” by Yoji Yamada, starring Tadanobu Asano, Sayuri Yoshinaga, and Miku Sato
