Anime 3784 Evangelion Movie 2 Ha Userrecs

After watching Attack on Titan I went on to watch the EVA rebuilds and it helped me realize how many similarities there are between them. While not a mecha, Attack on Titan has a lot of very similar characteristics(no spoilers, but if you've seen AoT, you'll probably be able to understand what I'm getting at). Eren, Armin and Mikasa are all similar to Rei, Asuka, and Shinji. Though they swap around a few traits here and there. The pacing is quick for both stories, the animation and action is top notch and brutal, and there is a significant mystery aspect to both shows.  

Both are the second movies in the respective movie series, and they both summarize a part of the events from the respective TV series. Both anime have a similar concept, as they both focus on young kids who are forced to fight against monsters. The characters and the way they develop are also quite similar, especially Madoka and Shinji: they both wallow in self-pity and they mostly act to help others. Both anime have some apocalyptic elements, and they also try to deconstruct their respective genres. And finally, both anime create a similar mood and atmosphere, and they also rely on abstract imagery.
