Crazy psychological horror about young boys (Yukiteru/Shinji) that are forced to fight despite the fact that they desperately don't want to.

Yukki is as pathethic as Shinji, similar voice acting. Also Akise really looks like Nagisa
Wimpy isolated protagonists have to fight for their lives and become a central part of the impending apocalypse. Both have unstable (young) people engaging in brutal but also strategically interesting combat. Both have... Kaworu, pretty much.
The male protagonists start off as whiny, nervous wrecks once they're thrown into life threatening situations and against impossible odds, but eventually grow some balls.

Concerning the Main Character:
Both Shinji and Yukiteru are young boys who have lived a lonely life. Both of their fathers want nothing to do with them unless it benefits them. Both of them are suddenly forced to have a level of power that very few others have. This causes many moral dilenmas for the MC, and it takes a LONG time for both to even begin coming to terms with it.
Both of the main characters are typically overshadowed in the series by a stronger female role, who typically performs the more significant feats in the series (Asuka in NGE, Yuno in Mirai Nikki). In

-shinji and yuki are similar characters
-akise is basically kaworu
-both are psychological shows
-both contain yaoi
-the last 2 episodes are confusing
This one kid, seemingly can't do anything and has to leave the work to the other more enthusiastic lasses to get the job done. But is that entirely the fault of the boy? The boy who was dragged into this detrimental unhinged "reality" where death is closer than ever and unexpected raids are to be expected. It's a catastrophe of a world to live in, but that is the life these two, named Yukiteru and Shinji respectively, must rise up against. Quench their fears and take on the disorder in from of them.
Whether that be aliens from space or a ridiculous large battle royale

yuki and akise are just budget shinji and kaworu.
both shows also deal with kids risking their lives and some existential confusing elements at the end.
Both anime have very simliar protagonists: Shinji and Yukki both have very low self-esteem and problematic relationships with their fathers. Both have a characteristic fear of rejection, however Shinji's psychological complex gets a more in depth analysis.
What sets both of them apart is the type of deuteragonist they employ: The other two main characters in NGE serve primarely the developement of Shinji, while Yuno Gasai - the deuteragonist of "Mirai Nikki" - is a very interesting person on her own right and maybe a "better" version of what Rei and Asuka in NGE could have become.
