Eva had a huge effect thematically. Sure, it had a few mecha show imitators, but in a larger sense, it opened the field up to a lot of more-sophisticated successors. (Not necessarily that everybody who had a deep, philosophical plot in mind owes it to Eva - heaven forfend. Eva's actual philosophical depth was about that of a kiddy pool. But Eva's success meant that other shows of that depth could find the corporate buy-in they needed to actually get animated and air...)

Spoilers which are not properly tagged will be ruthlessly deleted on sight.
Also, I hate unsolicited suggestions and advice. (Even when you think you're being funny.)

At Chizumatic, we take pride in being incomplete, incorrect, inconsistent, and unfair. We do all of them deliberately.
