Pacific Rim really was very similar to Evangelion, there were a couple nods to it throughout the movie. I mean, while yes, Pacific Rim kind of fills that empty void, all of the Evangelion fans want an EVA live-action film. Would it make as much as Pacific Rim? I dunno, maybe, but there should still be one. Would be insanely awesome.

Erm... no there weren't? Del Toro has stated he hasn't watched Eva. Gundam was there though.

I know I spotted at least 1 EVA reference, or at least what I thought was a reference.
