Clamp character designs and a very likeable main character. Has really...unexpected moments in it, too. There's a few eps out so far.
You can always pick up the box set of Pilot Canidate.

...after the ending you may want to see the OVA, though. >_>
I mention that because the main character is opposite of Shinji.
