While it wouldn't seem they have much in common i felt both were amazingly deep and both kept me interested all the way through and made me have this feeling like "This is awesome."

Well the main story does not have nothing in common. However both have a high psychological side. Maybe Death Note don't touch you as much as Neon Genesis Evangelion, but stills a great anime and will certainly worth your watching.
Both also focus in the "God" word, but in different perspectives. :)
Death Note focus more in a psychological fight, and NGE in feelings and unique characters.
Ending, I would also say that both touch the theme "change the world".
both will leave you thinking.
trust me, if you liked one you will most probably like the other.
HUGE amount of psychological disturbance, especially as the stories progress. It may not be evident for the first 4-5 episodes, but it requires a large amount of memory talent and controlled thinking to process what's going on. If you don't like it, it's likely because you don't GET it. If you can't get it, read spoilers, it's no shame to do so. All in all, these are both SUPERB anime.

The fact that Death Note needs to be:
1.Seen more than once to fully grasp the intricacies of actions, and the heavily focused mind battles of twisted magnitudes of complexity.
2.Forces you to concentrate on the text and dialogue going on, or else,
easily makes it a strong recommendation to Neon Genesis Evangelion universe.
Both are a masterpiece on their own

I will reiterate once more, DN and Eva, indeed, do not share a lot of features. But it struck me that these anime are more than just huge robots and some Jump manga. There is possibly every top 10 list, these two have taken their substances and mixed them with a style so transcendental, that the union between it and the substance knows no bounds in mastering totally immerse anime.
DN kinda falls off towards the end, but I suppose the same is true for Eva. Either way, you are entirely missing out on choosing to say no to these. Oh and both contain religious imagery.
