Top wo Nerae 2! Diebuster
|
Insane giant robot battles, characters with mental problems, and lots of bloody stylistic action. (with yuri! and with nudity!) Developed by Anno's protege Kazuya Tsurumaki, Top wo Nerae 2 (also known as Diebuster) is reconstruction of the super robot genre. It's an amazing, award winning triumph of story boarding and storytelling, with big battles and bigger emotions. Heartbreaking and thought provoking, its exactly what you need to get back that amazing Evangelion feeling. Made by the same guy who did FLCL and is doing the Evangelion Rebuilds.

Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster
|
Giant super robots, massive battles against horrific enemies and unpleasable father figures! (And nudity!) Hideki Anno created both Top wo Nerae! (Gunbuster) and Evangelion. Gunbuster is an essential for any mecha fan and a must watch for Evangelion fans because you can clearly see the prototypes for characters and ideas in Evangelion. Coach = Gendo, Jung-Frued = Asuka, etc. If you haven't seen Gunbuster, you can't understand what Anno is deconstrucing in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

NHK ni Youkoso!

Both deal with characters in roughly the same age group that are otakus. As Genshiken comes to a close and the characters start looking for work, it almost works as a segway into Welcome to the NHK, which deals with a similar otaku character who is unemployeed and trying to make sense of his life.
