If you ask me, EVA is a convoluted pretentious mess. But it's certainly unique.
I'm no mecha fan either. It's a standard in that it's probably the one most people know about or reference when they discuss mech films/shows. I'm no expert, it just seems to be the most popularly referenced and therefore its become a standard for mechs vs giant aliens.
