I started reading Eva-R, but I stopped after the second chapter. It seemed to be in a whole different world than the anime and I wasn't interested in that.
Well, it's a fanfic after all

Aside from this, like ZylonBane wrote above, he is or was mentally insane, that basically means his overall perspective of the world and all may be too different to one of a normal person (but of course, it doesn't mean he is crazy), usually living or trying to understand mentally insane or crazy people can take sane people to crazyness...one of the reason why they say that psychologist have or are trying to figure their own crazyness...

Other similar Series:
**RahXephon (2002/26 Episodes):
Official English WebSite:
http://www.neo-rahxephon.com/NGE and RahXaephon Review:
Many fans compare RahXephon to Neon Genesis Evangelion (NGE), favourably or unfavourably[citation needed]. Some say that RahXephon can be favoured to Evangelion because of its clearer ending and more active protagonist[citation needed]. Further, RahXephon used less still images and recycled footage from previous episodes than NGE did, a result of Gainax's notorious tendency to go overbudget at the beginning of a TV series and having to finish it on a shoestring budget, a tendency also manifested in Nadia. NGE had expanded the adult and non-Japanese market for anime, thus breaking the ground for later anime shows to follow. RahXephon benefitted from this larger market, as well as from technological advances in anime production.
RahXephon was made several years after NGE, and because of similarities in the respective protagonists and in the style and execution of events it is often criticized for not being as original or groundbreaking as NGE.[citation needed] It is also criticized for lacking NGE director Anno's strong and psychology-filled writing, and also his unique, gritty, unpredictable visual style.[citation needed] NGE itself had its share of similarities to previous mecha anime[citation needed], but its iconic status and fame makes it a natural target of comparison to other mecha shows.
One aspect of RahXephon seen favorably by some[citation needed] is that it devotes less time to battles than NGE does, counterbalancing this with more character development, and an ensemble of characters that have complex relationships. This complexity—as well as early foreshadowing of events—suggests that RahXephon's story was planned and written early in the production cycle. In contrast, NGE's writing was sketchily pre-planned (as admitted by assistant director Kazuya Tsurumaki[citation needed]) and was more influenced by the reactions that TV executives and viewers had to previous episodes.
At the very beginning of the series' first episode, Ayato disparagingly comments that "All's right with the world, huh?" This may be interpreted as a reference to Evangelion, as NERV's logo bears the words "God's in his heaven, All's right with the world" (from Robert Browning's poem Song from Pippa Passes).
There are other similarities, but they are more related to the ones who already see both series...(the RahXaephon is very powerful mech, not the most, but very)
**Genesis of the Aquarion (Aquarion/2005/26 Episodes)
Official Japanase Web Site:
http://www.aquarion.info/Not too much to say here as I didn't see the series, the mechs seems are really well designed, seems to be a mix between some of Armored Core mechs and other series from 2000, they fight against the "Shadow Angels", so that tells a lot, there are screenshots at the official page, the navigation is in English...
I don't know if someone noticed, but for some reason like NGE, RahXaephon and Aquarion have 26 chapters, and in the case of RahXaephon they stopped there, and decided to make an OVA and a Game containing an extra OVA chapter in order to complete the series...
