KKNJ has some very similar music to Eva in places. Also by Shigeru of 
course.

Eva 1.01/11's panoramic scenes of Tokyo 3 people reminded me of RSF's ones 
immediately.

Eva & Nadia. http://www.thesecretofbluewater.com/nadieva-i.htm

Noriko also has a poster for a mecha anime, can't remember what though.
