Both are mech shows that, while they certainly stay within some of the same conventions of said genre, have a uniqueness to them which make them feel very refreshing.

Both shows have very similar mech designs, fight choreography, and characters. They also both have a similarly dreary tone and a psychological mind-bending plot. However, I feel that Eva gets a bit darker as it's story goes on, while Big O just gets more cryptic and enigmatic.
