When you think about it, the cast of Haruhi seems to be heavily inspired from the cast of Evangelion in character design. Isn't Kyon so similar to Shinji? Itsuki to Kaoru? Yuki to Rei? Isn't Haruhi's bossiness similar to Asuka's? And the whole fighting giants in a parralel dimension thing, isn't it similar to the angels?
Considering the meta commentary on otaku culture KyoAni productions were doing at that time, I don't think the similarities between Haruhi and Evangelion are a coincidence. And they both just so happen to be some of the most influencial series in anime history.
both defying anime in their respective genres, hard to ignore and iconic characters
Both series have cult characters that have become symbols in the anime industry. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Evangelion are milestones in the history of anime, they at least deserve attention.
Tha story is pretty much psicological like Neon Genesis Evangelion, and is interesting nothing how there's a singulare character that remind intentionally Rei Ayanami from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Is important to see the Haruhi Suzumiya's two seasons in chronological order, and NOT in broadcast order, because the normal order is wrong for the story and events.
