These two series are very similar as to how the story is portrayed. Both are phycological and twisted in the same ways, you never know what's going on and the story keeps building up and putting things together.
FMA is full of humor and it can even pop up in the middle of a serious moment.
Evangelion has ecchi humor that appears in its own time.
And they both are considered one of the best anime.

While most people will probably disagree with me that these two shows are similar, I believe that if you really liked FMA, NGE is definitely to watch.
In my opinion, the one thing FMA is really praiseworthy for is the oddness of its ending (whoa!) and of the concepts it deals with (sometimes odd). NGE is in the same way very peculiar and sometimes hard to grasp, hence why I am recommending it.
I personally do not normally like anime that goes 50 + episodes, as I fear (on good reason) that my time will be wasted with fillers. Both NGE and FMA don't seem

The leading characteristic that I compare Evangelion to FMA by is the plot structure. Both have plot elements that follow directly from the preceding elements as well as an overarching goal that is foreshadowed either by being stated or implied. I'm a fan of both to a great degree and i recognize the similar elements between both. Happy viewing

There's a lot of similarity going on here:
Ed/Shinji's relationship with their father and deceased mom
Lt. Ross and Brosh look similar to Shigeru and Maya
Makoto and Kain look very much alike and are both trustworthy
Sheska and Ritsuko both look similar but one is geared towards books
Both have something going on in the military/NERV
Both have supernatural beings such as Homunculus/Angels
Both are both amazing must watch anime series that you won't want to miss!

Both are action shows that get extremely weird, dark, and psychological as they go on, with a main character that struggles with depression and a dark and troubled past with his family.

Keep in mind this is FMA the much darker anime not FMAB.The
reason I think FMA and NGE are similar is purely psychological and philosophical.Both anime deal with despair and depression.Both explore topics as dealing with hopelessness and no matter how harsh the reality is you must try hard to earn peace.FMA and NGE also teach us that the twisted truth of the world is not something we can grasp so we must always have our own truths to keep us away from falling further into the pits of despair.
