If you've never seen this, it might well work as a step. There's a military/political crisis between Wmerican and Japan, but in the background one of the major characters is trying to 'plug' himself into a metaphysical power - which would more or less make him a God.
Obviously, there are a few concepts that come from Evangelion, but the whole feel is very different, mostly because the pilots do rebel against being used as pawns.
Even if you don't use it as a step, I'd recommend the series to watch.

You're only young once, but immaturity is forever.
