As the name implies, this page is for references to Evangelion.

Sgt. Frog (aka Keroro Gunsou)

Sgt. Frog (anime and manga) has too many Evangelion references to possibly list them all, so a few will have to do.

Corporal Giroro...
...revives like Eva-02

In this sequence from Vol. Eleven of the Manga, Corporal Giroro revives like Eva-02 in EOE.

Another of Kururu's experiments gone horribly wrong

In this episode, the Keron Force tries to conquor Earth by making everyone lethargic with "May Disease", which seems to be the Japanese equivalent of Spring Fever. This somehow escalates into a Third Impact-style disaster.

Hayate no Gotoku

Hayate no Gotoku, or Hayate the Combat Butler, is a show that started in April of 2007. This show contains so many paradies and references to other anime, TV shows, and games, that it is nearly impossible to catch them all.

From episode 5

During an episode with an extended parody of the game "Dragon Quest", the head of Giant Rei/Lilith popped out of the enemy everyone was fighting:

Rei/Lilith makes an appearance

Nerv logo look-alike can be seen in one of the baths:

This following sequence parodies the first launch of Evangelion Unit-01. This is a giant nursing robot that goes berserk.

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu

Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu, or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, was a show by Kyoto Animation that started in April of 2006. Although the scene near the end of the show where Haruhi chokes Kyon (for apparently no reason at all) may or may not be a direct reference to the final scene in the End of Evangelion, the circumstances, the desolate surroundings, and the lighting of this scene has many fans believing it is a direct reference.

Haruhi chokes Kyon in a similar fashion to Shinji choking Asuka
