* LighterAndSofter: It's pretty much of a {{Moe}} / WidgetSeries version of ''Evangelion'': light-hearted, considerably dumbed down and where almost everybody has his or her cute moments; also, anxiety can probably be cured by hugs, food, or Shinji's radiant goodness. Most of the characters are better adjusted than they'll ever be in the original verse and there's no trace of childhood trauma so far. ''Raising Project'' still includes a darker subtext about separated families, as the Ikaris hardly ever get to have dinner together, Kyouko hides in the NERV basement, and Asuka's father is absent or dead, with the result that Shinji and Asuka still live at Misato's most of the time. Rei's background hasn't been explained in the manga so far, but she seems to have grown up mostly at NERV and been rejected by other kids for being "weird," doesn't have parents, and images from the video game suggest [[spoiler: the Reiquarium still exists]]. The children are still NERV's lab rats and kept in the dark about everything, too, but the director occasionally throws a party for them for [[strike: damage control]] their efforts.

disambiguated trope
* ChildSupplantsParent: Parodied. Shinji and Gendou are in a kind of playful(?) rivalry that involves trying to outdo each other at indoor biking while yelling about generational differences, among other things. Their highly conflictual / WellDoneSonGuy relationship in the original series is also parodied in that Gendou is [[http://www.misato.cz/files/u1/isik_19.jpg Shinji's biggest fanboy in existence]] (at least partly because he's such a narcissist). However, Shinji is genuinely annoyed at his father's overwhelming weirdness and disturbing displays of affection, so he usually tries to avoid him. Which just serves to heighten Gendou's desperation for his approval.) At one point Rei lampshades this dynamic by wondering if she should be more like Yui, since Shinji is "kinda Oedipal" in her view.
