"Neon Genesis Evangelion" and "De:vadasy" are mature and violent sci-fi anime that surround young people who are recruited to pilot mechs and eventually develop psychological trauma alongside becoming sexually repressed. As the chosen one, the protagonist of the two respective anime, each a young boy, must forgo his formerly ordinary life for his new one working under the government. In both anime, Earth and humanity are threatened by powerful monstrosities from the unknown and only the male protagonist with special capabilities can save the world as a mech pilot.
Devadasy took a lot of inspiration form NGE, it's almost too apparent. Both take a look at the psychological trauma undergone by the pilots of mysterious mechs. Devadasy's MC is basically Shinji, but with an out of control libido and blood lust. NGE has a better execution, but there is some interesting concepts and imagery in Devadasy.

Both focus around mechs and a young mc being caught up in a war between mechs and a deadly enemy.
