What M3 does Neon Genesis Evangelion did before it and better. That being said, M3 has more characters and group dynamics, which is a worthy addition, while NGE was about loneliness, abandonment, and how they shape people and their choices.
On the other hand, while NGE's characterization is better and there are proportionally more adults, there are few "likeable" characters; M3 is a more typical genre anime with a larger cast with plenty of cliches which makes it easier to find someone to like. If this is an essential element for enjoying anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion might not be a rec for you.
A bit strange, that still there is not NGE recommendation. Just look at the dark future city, where mentally ill teenagers on the brain-damaging robots fight with notorious giant monsters from nowhere! Yeah, add vile commander hiding truth about monsters and noble scientist, supressed by commander above...
However, with such plagiarism level, which could make show at least "Just another NGE-ripoff" with generic score, M3 suffering from cliche storm, alogic characters, boring plot pace and depressive atmosphere and may be things, that i could not notice.
So, this show is pretty bad, but still NGE clone and deserve to be in Recs.
