...then you might like Gunslinger Girl add

At first glance, it seems pretty weird to link NGE with Gunslinger Girl, but on a deeper analyse you realize that these two anime are alike, and a lot. If we go deeper, we see that Gunslinger Girl tried to recreate NGE's most interesting points. All the characters from the girls to the grown up go through a hard psychological struggle on what is right and what is wrong, and about the organization they work for. While the characters fight, the fights lose meaning as we are more focused on the characters' struggle and how they will come out of the deppression pits they are in. Both series do the same (on different settings and at different scales), make you not wanna be in the characters' position, as they show you how their heads twist with every situation. GG clearly learned from NGE how to make a good psychological thriller.
