Reception
Praised for its depiction of the Japanese, the first issue is considered an English-language homage to Neon Genesis Evangelion, Tokyo Storm Warning is mostly concerned with the 'giant robot' genre through the perspective of Western readers, which it uses as its main selling point. Several of the creatures depicted also bear a resemblance to famous movie monsters, such as the Americanised Godzilla, and King Ghidorah, while the ARCangels have several surface details similar to robots from the Gundam franchise.
