The anime was terrible, even by Gonzo standards.

They simplified the mechanical designs and redesigned the characters, completely rewrote Soubi's character making him a separate character entirely, cranked up the harem antics, made Reiji out to be a dick (completely the opposite from his portrayal in the source material where he may be cold and calculating but he has his reasons) and making the final boss come out of nowhere. They also dragged out Kouichi's stint of being unlikable longer than it has to be. In the manga, it's over rather quickly.

The only good things to come out from it were the voice cast and the OST (minus the opening).

I really hope it gets a faithful adaption in animated form outside of SRW, even though the odds are low.

I'm not sure where you're getting the Evangelion thing from though.
