The thing about the older anime series some people consider the "best", is that they were the "best" because they were incredibly innovative and revolutionary. It's impossible to NOT see Evangelion's influence on anime as a whole, especially sci-fi/mecha. And maybe some of the descendants do it a little better than Evangelion. But NGE, and Cowboy Bepop, and GitS:SAS, are so special because they were so innovative.
