Everyone's already pointed out how they're both surrealist deconstructions of their respective genres. The key difference for me, more than shonen vs shoujo, is that all the imagery and symbolism of NGE leads to a thematic conclusion of overwhelming nihilism. RGU (at risk of spoilers) is an extremely structuralist show. Whereas everything ultimately means nothing in NGE, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING serves a function in RGU. So if you enjoyed NGE but want a different kind of philosophical show, you gotta see RGU.
