And yeah, there's a lot of stuff in this show that alludes to other series. Quite a few references to Eva.
Just noticed another Eva thing today that emphasizes the eternal optimism of this story vs. the... nihilism?... of Eva:

The song at the end of Eva: Come, Sweet Death (Komm, susser Tod)
The song at the end of Haruhi: Come, Spirit of Creation (Veni, creator spiritus)
