Depends on what Gundam.
I like Gundam, but the only series of it I ever really got into was Gundam Wing and to a much lesser extent, Gundam Seed. GW remains one of my all-time favorite anime though, 6 years after I've watched it.
However, Evangelion is definitely an excellent anime, very well-written and animated, and was a bit of a twist on the typical mecha anime. Though some of it I think some people might not be able to grasp, and definitely was an anime that could screw with your head.

Well, I'm sure that if you had the sort of past that Shinji and Asuka had in NGE, you wouldn't really be a happy-go-lucky person yourself...
gawd, thank you, i'm tired of stupid people who honestly don't think about the psychological impact of being thrown into that kind of mess... stupid kids these days, labeling everything emo x-x
if it's G-Gundam or Gundam Wing, it's on the same level, but every other gundam gets owned by Evangelion

Hahaha =P Im judging with Gundam Wing...
But... yea... I see where your comming at, but was it necessary in the anime?
Um, yes. Eva is meant to be a rather dark anime. All the characters have screwed up pasts, and it would be totally out of place for them to be all happy and like normal kids.
And yes, you might say "But Asuka always seemed so upbeat!" It was all an act because she was desperate for attention.
Originally posted by Shadow SpiderWOW Gundam Wing is better. and Shinji is KIND of annoying but WOW, he had never done anything like this before, hes not a fighter and when he finally kills it freaks him out, im pretty sure thats a reasonable response even if he were a little tougher
Gundam is much better. The story makes sense, nobody acts like cry baby Shinji, and the characters are cooler. Besides no Eva could top the Dark Gundams Final form or Gundam Epyon.
