Noein: Mou Hitori no Kimi e

While it may be a bit of a stretch to compare Noein to the likes of Eva, I think this obscure little sci-fi gem really needs to be brought into the limelight; despite its slow beginning and unusual art, Noein manages to tell a story both compelling and thought-provoking about alternate dimensions, the truth of the universe, and the pain suffered by an ordinary group of children. Sound familiar, Evangelion fans?
Post-apocalyptic anime portraying some of the most unpleasant traits of human nature; main themes are the human condition, despair and destruction, although Noein is more cheerful and paced. Mecha element is present as well.
