有鑑於網路上對於環太平洋與福音戰士相似度或是致敬問題討論眾多，這裡稍微整理一下《環》編劇與導演的訪談內容。

編劇 - Travis Beacham
導演 - Guillermo Del Toro

編劇訪談

Obviously there’s a big history of Kaiju movies, but also there’s a lot of
ancillary media with giant monsters and giant robots. And the two that I
think I felt an influence from – and tell me if I’m wrong, tell me if I’m
just projecting here – was “Neon Genesis: Evangelion,” especially with the
episode where they had to be in synch to defeat the Angel…

訪問者提問說是不是受到福音戰士的影響 尤其是他們必須同步對抗使徒的那一話 [註]

Travis Beacham:
I don’t know if I saw that one. I haven’t seen all of the
series, and I’ve only seen the first two of the…

編劇回答：
我不確定是否看過那段劇情 我沒看過全部系列
事實上我只看過前兩部...

The new movies. (訪問者接著回答)
新劇場版

Travis Beacham:
Yeah. I think tonally it’s definitely an influence,...

[註]：同步對抗使徒應該是指TV版中第九話真嗣與明日香生活在一起要同步
生活習慣與想法 以順利合作對抗使徒

編劇Twitter對於是否向EVA致敬的回應

Travis Beacham：
"I did love Evangelion very much, but I actually wrote most of Pacific Rim before I saw it."
"我確實很喜歡EVA，但在我看過之前已撰寫完大部分《環》之劇本了。"

導演訪談

I've got to ask — are you an Evangelion fan? (提問)
請問導演你是EVA粉嗎?

Guillermo Del Toro：
"That's one of the four animes I've never seen...."
那是我從未看過的四部動畫之一...

小結：
基本上《環》之導演從未看過EVA，而編劇本身在撰寫大部分劇本時也尚未觀賞過EVA任何系列。
