This is a video some guy spliced together- one is from RahXephon and the other is the LnY throw in Episode 22. See the resemblance?

Does this necessary classify as some form of plagiarism or is it a homage to NGE?
Plagiarism, homage or nothing in particular?

You're either really bad at interpreting jokes or really good at pretending you are and I have no idea which.-Monk Ed
WAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!(<-link to lunacy)...Taste me, if you can bear it. (Warning: Language NSFW)
The main point of idiocy is for the smart to have their lulz. Without human idiocy, trolling would not exist, and that's uncool, since a large part of my entertainment consists of mocking the absurdity and dumbassery of the world, especially the Internet.-MaggotMaster

RahXephon was by and large a near-clone of NGE, no question
however, there were some homages to other series like Megazone23 and the whole Judeo/Christian/Kabalah "mystique" was replaced with one that was Mesoamerican/pre-Columbian (Mayans, Aztecs and such)
but the real question here is: isn't there a thread about this already (and was it locked, maybe)?

There's a thread about this is the off-topic section, and I think it's still open.
Awesomely Shitty

-On EMF, as a thread becomes longer, the likelihood that fem-Kaworu will be mentioned increases exponentially.
-the only English language novel actually being developed in parallel to its Japanese version involving a pan-human Soviet in a galactic struggle to survive and to export the communist utopia/revolution to all the down trodden alien class and race- one of the premise being that Khrushchev remains and has abandoned Lysenko stupidity

If you have to ask questions like that, it only shows that you know very little about anime, let alone about storytelling in general.
I apologize if I sound like a broken record, I know I have a track record of attacking threads which contain words like "plagiarism" and "rip-off", but that's only because the arguments presented in them tend to be horrendously stupid: If RahXephon "ripped off" Eva, then by logical extension Eva ripped off Ranma ½, G Gundam ripped off Voltes V and HOLY SHIT, WE HAVE NO ORIGINAL SHOWS LEFT! This is intertextuality. People who create anime love it. This is something you must realize, if you wish to continue watching anime.
EDIT:
P.S. Besides, whenever the topic of RahXephon comes up, you're supposed to mention Brave Raideen being its primary influence.
P.P.S. The Big Difference: Evangelion is about vaginas, whereas RahXephon is about phalli.
EDIT 2, P.P.P.S.
If we're gonna start posting Youtube videos, we can't do without The King of Homages. And oh lol, the precious bow is there, too!

You're making Shamshel cry. I can't believe you left the poor guy out.
