When I watched this anime, I do see couple of parallel between Evangelion & Kuromukuro:
Alien/extraterrestrial forces have tried to conquer earth in the past and again in modern time. This happened in both series. Efi Dorg in Kuromukuro are very much like Angels in Evangelion.

The director's reluctant and unexperienced kid is forced to pilot a giant robot, which eventually leads to them maturing as a person and coming of age with the help of their newfound contacts and the pressure of a foreign environment. Both shows are a blend of mystery, action, school life and the struggles of a teenager with severe daddy issues. Also, some of the character archetypes are disturbingly similar right down to the guy who is obsessed with recording everything and always walks around with a camera in hand.
