Adeptus Evangelion
It's like Dark Heresy, but with all the dark brooding angst replaced with... oh.
Based on the ”'deep”' animé Neon Genesis Evangelion and using a modified Dark Heresy rulesets you can play out all the giant robot fighting you want with as much or as little incoherent symbolism as your campaign has room for.
Adeptus Evangelion is a Dark Heresy modification designed to run games in the world of Neon Genesis Evangelion. You are not required to re-enact the original storyline, but playing emotionally broken characters is encouraged by the system.
The game probably plays better when your players have not watched the show, but with its Angel generation system and helpful sidebars, even the original canon Angels can have tricks up their sleeves your players will never see coming.
