If you liked Shinseiki Evangelion add

...then you might like Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou add

- Same Studio and the same Director (Anno Hideaki). - Despite the plot and setting are parallel to each other, similar vibes and themes overlap between the two series. - When elements of the Psychological genre arise, it is stylized in the same way Evangelion is. - The main male lead questions his morality and is tied down by his past (distressing relationships with family members - just like Shinji Ikari). - Both series are quite dark, although Kare Kano is definitely more lighthearted.
