So was I right when I said RahXephon is very different from NGE?

I haven't seen the dub of 90% of those, so I'm of no help with that. BUT I can add even more to the list!
Blue Gender - Action on an epic scale. Lots of death, lots of blood, next to no comedy (unless you count some sexual tension as comedic). You'll want to kill the lead male for being such a wuss, but his situation is largely understandable and he'll toughen up over time. Kind of like Berserk with mecha.
Speed Grapher - The series of (and for) deviants. Blood, sex, fetishes... all in spades, similar to Mnemosyne in that respect. A very twisted, yet awesome story. Only weak point is the animation, it's rather rough.
Great Teacher Onizuka - Okay, this isn't an action series, it's a comedy. But damn it, there's enough stuff happening to make it feel like an action series. There's never a dull moment. An ex-biker gang leader decides to become a teacher, partly in hopes of getting some ass and a cute wife. In reality, it's about him being put in charge of a problem class and slowly winning them over, one by one... in the most badass and awesome ways ever.
Also, [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control, had a LOT of potential, but blew it. I wouldn't recommend watching that one :P

Yeah, it wasn't really like it at all.
I mean, yeah there was a boy who had to fight alien invaders in a mecha, but not much else was all that similar to it. I hated Evangelion, and RahXephon was very different.
I only gave it a 7, but in comparison I gave Evangelion a 3.

It occupied the first place in anime charts in Russia for many years for a damned good reason.
P.S.: And it is on the first place yet again: http://www.world-art.ru/animation/

I thought [C] Control was wonderfully executed. But I guess it boils down to personal preference.
GTO has a few issues, mainly with its dub being terrible, but in large part it was because it takes a specific kind of person to actually enjoy its comedy. I was not one of those people, and the only character I actually liked in it was Kanzaki.
Blue Gender is another one that's for a very specific crowd. The art style can gnaw at the back of your mind, and the pacing switch once they escape Earth feels rather dramatic. Its really a love it or hate it anime.
