| I came up with this question because of ever since Madoka Magica came out (or by the time the original anime ended at least) everyone and your grandma have agreed that Madoka is the Evangelion of magical girls, so i was wondering: What anime can be considered "the Evangelion of x"? the x may be a genre, demographic, concept or anything like that. |

| I would say Revolutionary Girl Utena is the definitive "Evangelion of the shoujo/school drama genre". |
| I would say FMA is the Evangelion of battle shounens. |
 |
| Dark Souls is the Citizen Kane of Evangelion |

| Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is the Evangelion of Cory in the House |
| evangelion is the rahxephon of gundam |

| K-On is the Evangelion of the seinen genre. |
|
| Evangelion movies are the Evangelion of Evangelion. |

| @Spunkert I do disagree to the point i could cut of all my hair. Something that would not make FMA the shonen verison of EVA is the insanely childish parody and gag comedy both FMA verison has. It's way to childish to even been compare on the same level as EVA. ofc this is just my view and why i disagree.Devilman: Crybaby would have been a far better pick from you. |

| TTG is the Evangelion of the SIMP genre. |

| @Nillwas You misunderstood the assignment. It was not about finding the "X version of Evangelion", but finding an anime that had the same impact on its own genre as Evangelion had on mecha. The content or tone doesn't necessarily have to be similar to Evangelion at all. |
| rezero is the closest to the evangelion of isekai even though i'm not a huge fan of it. |

| Persona 3 Winter of Rebirth is the End of Evangelion of video game adaptations. "The fate of destruction is also the joy of rebirth." |
 |
| I don't actually get what exactly "the Evangelion of x" even means but anyway, the most significant case was definitely Astro Boy (1963) as it was THE Evangelion of the anime medium itself. |
| Redo of healer is the evangelion of ecchi. |

| @Nillwas Devilman: Crybaby is not as popular as FMA is. |

| Gundam was the Evangelion of mecha before Evangelion became the Evangelion of Gundam and then Tomino was like "I'm making Brain Powerd and it's gonna be the Evangelionest of all Evangelia". And then he did and it was weird. Nillwas said: Something that would not make FMA the shonen verison of EVA is the insanely childish parody and gag comedy both FMA verison has. One can't mention FMA without the inevitable "the comedy sucks" post. I thought it was an /a/ thing but it seems to have spread. |

| Oshiri Tantei (Synonyms: Butt Detective) is the Evangelion of the meitantei genre. |
| Can someone explain what this "Evangelion x" is, like whats the Evangelion of Evangelion? |

| @Nillwas Also, Brotherhood is very straight forward, optimistic and has very bi-dimensional characters imo. Id say Hunter x Hunter is the true EVA of battle shounen, since it deconstructs the standards set by Dragon Ball. |

| Also, Berserk would be the EVA of "manime" Digimon Tamers would be the EVA of Poke-likes Oniisama e... or KareKano would be the EVA of School Romance Shoujo Perfect Blue would be the EVA of Idols |

| Chi's Sweet Home - the EVA of pets anime Love Live! - the EVA of idol anime K-On! - the EVA of girl band anime Queen's Blade - the EVA of all-female ecchi anime Uma Musume: Pretty Derby - the EVA of all-female sports anime  |

| Quintessential Quintuplets is the Evangelion of harem anime |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion is the Evangelion of Evangelion. |
