    I feel like this vid is useful for convincing people the other way around; if you like the shows listed, you’ll like Evangelion

    I was a little surprised to see that Paranoia Agent didn’t make it on this list. While it’s certainly no mecha anime, it features quite a bit of the psychological exploration and themes found in Eva.

    By this point everything has taken some inspiration from NGE, so the entire time you’re watching it you’ll be thinking it was done better in the other anime. Th issue with this thinking is that NGE was basically the raw form of these tropes while the others have been refined. This was an issue i had with FFVII. I remember hearing how it was groundbreaking, the game play was incredible, and the graphics were unreal. By the time i got to it years later, i had already played other rpg’s that took what it did and built on it. So FFVII was just meh to me. my point since this got long winded is that it should be Neon Genesis Evangelion: 7 Anime to Watch AFTER.

    "Altering even a small detail can change the future drastically"? Have you actually watched Steins;Gate?

    Evangelion is aliens invading the earth and trying to reboot humanity
    So why no Goddanar? Not even a Aquarion…or Blue Gender

    Evangelion is my number one Anime of all time. Unit 01 is so damn badass

    To the new comers you don’t need to see anything before Eva. Just be ready to get depressed.

    I own reboot of the series and it looks a lot better than the original series, you really need to check it out.

    Darling in the Franxx is great in my opinion. Very much like Rahzephon and Evangelion

    Watch Gurren Lagann after Eva, it’ll make the depression even worse

    I have to disagree on how she said Gundam doesn’t explore heavy concepts. Makes me think she probably only watched build fighters or something.

    Dude steins gate really? You don’t need confusion and a headache right before watching NGE.

    Is Netflix gonna give us the option to watch the ADV Films English Dub along with its own English Dub?

    Actually, you should watch a classical mecha series before Eva

  31. Dhruv Sharma
    July 14, 2019 @ 11:00 am

    Stiens;Gate is probably is the best in this list

    Some decent recommendations here with Madoka and Devilman and Crybaby. If you like bojack horseman you will like Eva.

    Disappointed darling in the franxx wasn’t in this, litteraly half of these anime’s army even closely related to mech fighting and depression story

    Or, you could just read the original Watchmen.
    I found that after watching the series that Evangelion and Watchmen have many similarities between them in terms of characters and story. I would say some, but you just have to take my word for it.

    Devilman was a reaally weird one

  42. David Ramos

    Felt that Iron Blooded Orphan could’ve made the list.

  43. TF you lookin at

    Honestly, to get the full effect of NGE, you should watch old Gundam stuff to see just how much NGE changed the mecha formula.

    Literally just know the tropes and common pitfalls of mecha and anime in general: child soldiers, conflicting messages about war, usually main “chosen one” protagonist who’s motivated and arrogant, mindless fanservice. That’s it. Enjoy the ride
