Hot takes to get out of the way:
The good entries in the isekai genre can be counted on one hand, and none of them are those that everyone says "aren't like the other isekai, I promise!" If you feel the need to say this about every new isekai that comes out, it likely isn't true for any of them.
Evangelion is middling at its best and borderline unwatchable at its worst. Influential, sure. But if the best thing you can say about a series is that it inspired other, better shows, that isn't a series that stands on its own merits. The vacuum tube had an incredible influence on the field of computing, but nobody talks about them today on account of we have $100 smartphones more powerful than the computers that put a man on the moon.
An adaptation that cannot stand on its own is not only a bad adaptation, but a bad piece of media.
Don't take yourself or your reviews too seriously. It's a 60-word rant about how overrated you think some anime nobody's heard of is, not a peer-reviewed physics article.
