There's a Last Exile spin-off coming out in ... October I think it is. Looking forward to that ... and I hope they keep the same standard of animation - the battle scenes in Last Exile blew me away - literally.
With regards to NGE - well ... I definitely wouldn't recommend it for someone new to anime, but I do think it's worth a watch. Although I say that - NGE was the second or third anime series I watched - complete and utter brain-f**k.
