Victory Gundam and EVA share many similarities in main characters and their circumstances, as well as similar supporting cast, also they both explore the themes of motherhood, dichotomy of a woman and a mother, also the plans for bettering humanity and fighting angelic enemies. There's plenty of tragedy in both too.
