Since this is from the staff of Mahoromatic (none of the creative staff worked on Evangelion to my knowledge) I doubt we'll be seeing that many resemblances to Eva. However Mahoromatic did have quite a few dark episodes (remember the last episode? It was so out of the ordinary), and I have a feeling that this show might resemble those a bit. Anyway, this show's been announced for quite a bit of time, so they've been working on this for a while. And it's a work that celebrates GAINAX's 20th anniversary, so I expect this to turn out well.
