I've listened to the score for this again, and I think I like it a bit more than I did initially.

Especially the main theme, just a memory, and go big or go extinct.

That still doesn't make the comparison invalid even though I know lots of people will use this to try and prove otherwise.

But it's not the same.

I mean they're comparable in that they're giant monsters fighting mecha, but they're not THAT similar.

Unless

1. There is a hidden agenda behind the Pan Pacific Rim Party-Time-Anti-Kaiju-Guys

2. The Jaegers are actually built around dead or cloned Kaiju

3. The Kaiju are desperately trying to fuse with something hidden in the shatter dome (or thunderdome or whatever it's called) in order to advance their own existence.

4. One of the pilots..
Ah, screw it.

It's not THAT similar. Evangelion and it share the similar genre tropes but both are doing VERY different things with them. At least from what I remember of the show I've re-watched every year since the 8th grade or so.

Besides doesn't Eva only need one pilot? I've only seen like three episodes of the show way back in the day. Back when VHS ruled the earth.
