I think you could compare Eva to Gravity Falls, but the truth is that the animation industry is also a lot more flexible in Japan, so you can get programming that does adult stuff despite being marketed towards teenagers.
Evangelion just wouldn't be able to exist in the west. It would have to be adult animation, which has its own expectations in the west.
