Evangelion on a surface level has transhumanist imagery, from a catastrophe making Earth less than habitable overall to cloning, mind/body implantation, alien/human hybridization and simulated nervous systems. Eva was also basically a harem for Shinji, though executed way better than Tanikaze's various interests. There's oddly prominent cross imagery in Sidonia with the launch area as well. Sorties lean heavily on lances being ultimate weapons in the first part of the series, mirroring the later parts of Eva. Ochiai's entire plan of becoming an avatar of humanity inside of a godlike super being of his own creation is identical to SEELE's supposed plan for the Eva series. I can see a lot of surface similarities or intertextuality between the series, yeah, but Sidonia doesn't have the teen angst/growing up focus that is literally the whole point of Eva. Sidonia is about learning what it means to be human in a different context. Though both Tanikaze and Shinji have rejected transhumanism the reasons and what that means are different.
