For example, Fafner, which is ending this week.
Stuff about teenage pilots, cool drama, and fighting aliens or weird assimilation enemies.
Rahxephon. Literally eva.

Seconded.
Eureka Seven, Gurren Lagann, Bokurano, Aquarion, Zegapain.
I was thinking of watching Bokurano or RahX. Not sure which. I watched the first 2 episodes of RahX and liked the girls, but the weird Egyptian shit turned me off. Does it get better?

Gurren laggan isn't similar to Eva except for the robots in space thing. That's like the only thing they have in common. That's like recommending Naruto to someone who watched Future Diary because they both have males in the show.

Code Geass is similar-ish.
There is suffering, but the main character is less damaged. Good Sci-fi/supernatural mix in both.
Keit-Ai.

NVM, just realized you wanted aliens/weird enemies
>>12606
God. Liking Evangelion because it's giant robots with teenage pilots fighting weird aliens is such a terrible reason to like Evangelion.
Well, giving you what you want, people already said RahXephone.
Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure is another Evangelion Ripoff.

GUNBUSTAH
Mawaru Penguindrum
Gunbuster is essentially what you described. Teenage pilots, fighting aliens, cool sci-fi shit, and it was directed by Anno. In many ways, considered the spiritual predecessor to Eva.
You could also watch classics of the mecha genre like Gundam to gain an appreciation of what Eva serves to deconstruct.
Gao Gai Gar.

The robots don't go into space in Evangelion. Just Unit-01 in EoE
No teenage pilots but look at Argento Soma, it has everything else you want and some Iron Giant on the side.

watch Gunbuster its the first directoral work of the chick that made Evangelion
Its short and sweet and the last episode is black and white and I still cant decide if that was an artistic decision or budget cut

Of course it was artistic, you fucking retard. Did you even watch the episode?
