Well I didn\'t say it was a rip off. But except the mechs I noticed another big similarity:
The main character! I think they tried to make Seed\'s main character to be as sad-looking and melancholic as the one in Eva, but they are not very successful. Besides that, especially in the start, they both don\'t want to pilot these things but they are forced too. Except that they are both unique as only they can pilot them, for different reasons of course.
All I said is that Gundam Seed is influenced by Eva, and this is not always a bad thing.
