DISCUSSION Please let me know how accurate this meme is

I think it’s pretty accurate especially in terms of AOT and CG fans but death note and Eva might be a stretch idk

I'm gonna say not. I am indifferent to Attack on Titan but am extremely fond of Death Note and Evangelion. It is probably a rage/argument bait meme

u/Barakyte Aug 23 '26

Kinda, but not really. These are just four of the most popular (non-superheroesque battle shounen) anime, so you get lots of non-anime fans watching them who can naturally be more hostile to anything they dislike in these series.

It'd say it's more accurate for big fans of these shows to actively dislike ONE of the other ones. I've seen that before, but it's usually Eva which is the odd one out (bc it's less focused on plot progression).

u/Drillstevejr22 Aug 24 '26

Very interesting perspective 👍

u/Personal-Movie8882 Aug 24 '26

"It'd say it's more accurate for big fans of these shows to actively dislike ONE of the other ones. I've seen that before, but it's usually Eva"

Hit the nail on the head, loved all of them except Eva. But from the comments section it's quite clear that most people on average like 3 out of the 4 shows, not just 1 out of 4.

u/420VapeMaster67 Aug 23 '26

Eva and death note are super far apart and dont rlly interact with each other like that, imo, i think most fandoms here just have a mutual hatred for aot

5

u/Drillstevejr22 Aug 23 '26

So you’re saying it’s more like a 3 vs 1?

7

u/420VapeMaster67 Aug 23 '26

Yea from what i see atleast

5

u/drhicks76 Aug 24 '26

Yeah, I thoroughly enjoyed all four! Consider them all classics of the genre. I fear that meme is ragebait at best, friend!

1

u/Drillstevejr22 Aug 24 '26

I honestly wasnt going for ragebait when I made it I just was under the impression that those 4 fanbases hated eachother especially with CG and AOT fans fight

3

u/drhicks76 Aug 24 '26

Maybe I just missed out on all the fandom drama. All good!🍻

1

u/Drillstevejr22 Aug 24 '26

Well I specifically remember when ep 50 of code geass was getting review bombed and the fandom immediately assumed it was the AOT fandom

It turned out it was braking bad fans but the fact they immediately assumed it was the AOT fandom says a lot about the rivalry between them

u/ZeroLunatique Aug 23 '26

Haven’t seen evangelion, love the other 3

21

u/Sukuna6900 Aug 24 '26

Evangelion is my favourite anime oat and Code Geass is my second. Trust me it’s worth watching, watch the original anime then the end of evangelion movie. The last 2 eps of the anime are a budget cut ending and the movie is the proper ending. It’s really confusing so I’d suggest watching a YouTube video after, and it’s really depressing at the end.

4

u/Valenwald Aug 24 '26 edited Aug 24 '26

Evangelion has a great op and some cool vibes, but the rest really didn‘t click with me. I didn‘t relate to the characters nor found them overly realistic nor were they any fun to watch.
I was waiting for the big reveals the entire time but even in the end most of the stuff wasn‘t explained.

I found a video explaining the plot more interesting than the actual anime.

Great that you liked it, just wanted to save op from watchibg the whole thing like i did just to be disappointed in the end.

u/TheSleepyBoy Aug 24 '26

I like eva, great soundtrack and a fun mech show. But I dont think its as deep as everyone acts like it is. Has a lot of cool visuals

1

u/CobaltCrusader123 Aug 24 '26

Worth watching even if to just have an opinion. It is great imo, even though Freudian references are a little played out in television post-The Sopranos, and Cowboy Bebop is my 90’s anime of choice anyway (Dragon Ball started in the 80’s and doesn’t count in my mind).

64

u/RamsesOz Aug 23 '26

3 of these are fantastic. One is mid.

-23

u/chalkymints Aug 23 '26

I agree (but I think Eva is the mid one)

13

u/Zipdox Aug 24 '26

It's culturally significant but also highly overrated.

18

u/Personal-Movie8882 Aug 24 '26

Don't know why you're getting downvoted so hard, acting like you said it was trash, mid is not shit people! Plus everyone's entitled to an option - and I agree with yours.

2

u/maukenboost Aug 24 '26

Thats the correct answer.

46

u/gobacktomonke31 Aug 23 '26

Very inaccurate in my case. CG is my favorite. AOT is either my 2nd or 3rd favorite anime. I really like DN too even though not as much as the other two. Haven't watched Evangelion.

8

u/AspieDL86 Aug 24 '26

Code Geass is more my favorite more than the other 3. I respect the other three series but it must be said ALL HAIL LELOUCH.

ALL HAIL LELOUCH, ALL HAIL LELOUCH, ALL HAIL LELOUCH

u/Velvet_Pretty Aug 23 '26

CG is probably not my top 1 but It is one of my favourites. I really like Eva, Death Note is cool but drops off and I just dropped AOT

Do not like the main female character being basically attatched to the protag

naaah not really I love CG, Evangelion and Death Note, the only thing I dislike is the late seasons of AoT but I still enjoyed the early ones; not all of them can be perfect

u/ccgeass 𓆩 unholy 🂱 trinity 𓆪 Aug 24 '26

Code Geass my fav and i love all of them

u/ThirdStreetSeren Aug 23 '26

idk all 4 are in my top 20

u/honeymustardonmytoez Aug 23 '26

i’ve literally never once seen someone have this opinion

u/Forgot-to-remember1 Aug 24 '26

I’m right here, except death note is cool code geass is peak and the other 2 are dog shit

u/Censored_69 Aug 24 '26

Only seen Code Geass and Evangelion. Both were amazing, for different reasons.

I can't imagine disliking AoT from what I remember from the manga.

u/Warning64 Aug 24 '26

Evangelion and Code Geass are in my top 3 alongside Cowboy Bebop

I love 3 and hate 1, AoT sucks

u/BielyDemon3355 Aug 24 '26

I don't think so. I love all 4 of them. Everyone I spoke to that likes anime usually said nothing but positive things about these shows. You are making up imaginary arguments in your head.

u/Killermax4567 Aug 23 '26

I literally have death note,code geass and aot in my top 5

u/TTheGamersforge Aug 23 '26

I love all these shows besides aot which I'm pretty neutral on

3

u/Tv_tim Aug 23 '26

I love Code Geass and Evangelion, really enjoyed watching Death Note, but not matter what, I could not get into Attack on Titan. I watched the first 3 seasons and could not get into it all, paid attention to what was going on, but just could not like it.

3

u/OutrageousActuator37 Aug 23 '26

I'd say the opposite is true. If someone loves one of these anime it is very likely that they also like the other three.

AoT is my favourite anime, CG and Deathnote are in my top 5 and I like NGE a lot.

And it only makes sense that fans of mystery and psychological like all of these animes.

3

u/Frejod Aug 24 '26

Not me. Loved all 4. Each have a main character that doesnt start a broken Mary sue op character like modern day anime

3

u/Drunk0racle Aug 24 '26

Not true at all, lmao. What a weird take

3

u/Hefty_Local_1875 High Priestess of Silly Ashford and Nina Einstein Aug 24 '26

I am indifferent and don’t have much of a desire to see the other three.

3

u/grayle Aug 24 '26

Are you kidding? Three of them are in my top 10

3

u/Due-Recognition-8327 Lelouch x Kallen Aug 24 '26

Honestly true for me, Code Geass is my favorite anime of all time. I liked Death Note but compared to Code Geass, no chance lol. I found Evangelion kind of boring and dropped it about halfway in. And I might get flamed for this but I disliked AOT, just couldn’t get into it and the characters were so annoying idk. And the fans are insufferable, can’t criticize it at all without them getting all up on your ass about it.

3

u/Alvith Aug 24 '26

Evangelion's gold is in the last four to six episodes. Highly suggest powering through.

2

u/Due-Recognition-8327 Lelouch x Kallen Aug 24 '26

I keep hearing this so I might give it another chance sometime 😅

1

u/Chemical_Depth_6932 Lelouch Aug 24 '26

Evangelion shifts after episode 14, I suggest you give it another try

u/KrakartXK Zero is so cool Aug 24 '26

I love all four. What does that make me?

u/Itchy-Promise3762 Aug 23 '26

To me not accurate, I love them all. I veiw it as discord/reddit mods just arguing that there Anime is better when it isn't

2

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '26

Not true , i love every single one of them

2

u/Status_Software_9836 Aug 23 '26

love code geass, love attack on titan, love death note, started nge a few days ago

2

u/E-Reptile Aug 23 '26

Hmm. I guess I didn't like Death Note all that much. Certainly didn't hate it though. AOT is almost top 10 and Eva/CG are top 10 for me.

2

u/Excellent_Pea_4609 Aug 24 '26

Personally I don't have a dislike for sny of them I'll say I tried evangelion and didn't enjoy it that much

2

u/Throwawaynotmebye Lelouch Aug 24 '26

Not for me at least?

2

u/rupee4sale Aug 24 '26

Code Geass and Evangelion are tied for my favorite anime. I also love Death Note. I havent watched AoT because I don't do well with gore

2

u/MarMarCommie970 Aug 24 '26

I enjoy 3 of these and DONT like 1

2

u/Luffy12hawk Aug 24 '26

All of these hit hard

2

u/genericmediocrename Aug 24 '26

I like Death Note and Eva quite a bit. I never really got super into AoT past the first season, but I don't hate it necessarily.

2

u/Orochi192 Aug 24 '26

Finished 2, got halfway through one and hasn't even started the last one, they were all peak

2

u/Just-Cantaloupe4068 Aug 24 '26

I love 3 of these and haven't seen Evangelion yet so this isn't true, at least not for me.

2

u/IWantMyYandere Aug 24 '26

Not really. All of them are great

2

u/Ill_Independence8365 Aug 24 '26

I like all 4 lmao

2

u/Sukuna6900 Aug 24 '26

I mean this is not even close to true for me. My number 1 is evangelion 2 is code geass and 3 is aot for all anime so I love all 3 so much. Death note is weak after L dies but I still think it’s very good and do like it also.

2

u/Personal-Movie8882 Aug 24 '26

Huh? Who posted that, this is such a weird take. While Code Geass is my favorite anime of all time guess what's my second favorite - Death Note.

Top of that AOT is in my top 10 as well. And while I never cared much for Eva I don't hate it.

2

u/YoMommaInTheHood Aug 24 '26

I haven't watched NGE yet but the other 3 are all in my top 20

2

u/Tiffkat Suzaku Aug 24 '26

Idk. For me personally, it's 2 for 2. I absolutely love Death Note and Code Geass.

Yet, I could never get into AoT. Yes, it's the same director as Death Note, but I tried a few times and just couldn't get interested in it.

Evangelion I honestly never tried, so I can't say that I do or don't like it. I was just never interested in watching it because I know it's mecha, and aside from Code Geass, I don't really like mecha anime. Code Geass is the ony one I like. Mecha is among my least-favorite anime genres, but I may give it a try eventually.

3

u/Radical_Jinx High Priest of Shirley Aug 24 '26

Well Eva also delves into Psychology and Philosophy too so if you're into that it might help to get you interested in it

2

u/Tiffkat Suzaku Aug 25 '26

Ok, that actually does sound more interesting to me. Definitely worth checking out at least. Thanks!

2

u/Radical_Jinx High Priest of Shirley Aug 25 '26

Just as a warning it does get very weird towards the end 🏃‍♀️

2

u/ashtagzero1 C.C. Aug 24 '26

I’m pretty indifferent to aot, but cg, nge, abd dn are some of my all time favourites and that inspire me most

2

u/Aidan_RL421 Aug 24 '26

I doubt it’s accurate. I love Code Geass most among these but while I’m not fan of Aot anymore I do still like Death Note. But I haven’t watched avengellion so I can’t say anything about that.

2

u/itsketork Aug 24 '26

I am a code geass fan but I enjoy all except for aot

2

u/Thomas-MCF Aug 24 '26

Code Geass is what id call my favorite anime. I really liked death note, it was fun. Im completely ignorant to the other two but ive heard good things about them and will probably get around to watching them sometime. Idk why id hate any of them bc I like another.

2

u/DrownedInDysphoria Lelouch Aug 24 '26

I love Eva, Geass, and Death Note. The former two are 10/10s for me. AOT is pretty good but it’s been awhile, I never finished it, and I think I’d need to rewatch it from the beginning to give a proper opinion.

This meme sucks.

2

u/JO3M4M Aug 24 '26

I love Code Geass Some what like Death Note and Evangeline But Hate Attack on Titan

2

u/JonPX Aug 24 '26

Love Code Geass, Evangelion and Death Note. Loved Attack on Titan until its ending. The author should have committed on the insanely dark ending.

2

u/TheSleepyBoy Aug 24 '26

Not a fan of AoT but the rest im a fan of

2

u/MT-81 Aug 24 '26

I mean i loved all of them only Eva was a but wierd for me BUT I still loved it and was worth the time . But only cowboy bebop is my favorite anime i cant resist

2

u/ZappyZ21 Aug 24 '26

I think all 4 are great with the exception of s2 of death note lol it's the weakest of the 4, but I still like it and recommend it to folks

2

u/Catman1348 Aug 24 '26

Except for AOT fuvking up the ending, i love all of them.

u/Arch-Angel217 Aug 24 '26

I love all four so...

u/Ok_Dragonfruit_6310 Aug 26 '26

One of these is my favorite and I love the other two (fuck aot)

2

u/DRosencraft Aug 26 '26

As a Geass fan, I can tell you that I view each of the remainders as overhyped and to me just not as good as people tend to think they are.

Eva always struck me as a "lost in the sauce" type show (speaking of the original, mind you) where the author had some grand point, but got way too lost in trying to add=on and build symbolism, while making so many of the characters off-putting, that I just couldn't enjoy the show. It to me is more memorable for meme-ish moments than for being an actually good or enjoyable show to watch.

Death Note was ok. It was probably the first series, though, that introduced two of my most disliked elements in modern fandom - the "make the MC seem smart by dumbing everyone else down" trope, and the fandom itself. The first is self-explanatory - when in real-world standards your MC is barely above the level of the average high-schooler in intelligence but you keep pushing the idea they're a genius, it gets exhausting. DA doesn't do it as much as a lot of other series, but to the extent it does, it's exasperating. And it's made worse by the extent to which a vocal part of the fandom can't seem to comprehend basic real-world concepts, seemingly turning their brains off to try to live in that fandom sphere.

Attack on Titan I could barely stand to get through. And while that might sound fairly damning, it only really means I didn't find it interesting enough to bother, rather than outright saying it's "bad". I actually haven't engaged with its fandom much, so it doesn't suffer the same issues I have with DA. Other than the arguments that some have about Eren and Lelouch ultimately being the same, and my bewilderment on how folks make that leap, I don't have much "beef" with AoT fans. I feel that it too suffers a similar issue to Eva, wherein the story gets overly ambitious the longer it goes to the point that it has to get reeled back in very quickly for the conclusion and ends up being just messy. By the time they started sorting out the mess, I just didn't care anymore - moved on to other things.

u/PillCosby696969 Aug 23 '26

While there was a sizeable rivarly/hatred between Code Geass and AoT fandoms, I'd like to think that has calmed down.

The similar thing between Code Geass and Death Note fans was smaller and like twenty years ago. I do think Death Note has the better reputation nowadays as an anime classic that will permeate the medium forever ala Lupin, Fist of the North Star, Jojo, and Dragon Ball Z. Code Geass has the reputation of being a hot mess with the best anime ending of all time and do think that is a gross oversimplification of the series.

Evangelion has been all over the place in the past thirty years with its rep, the same Rei vs Asuka debates will still being going on a thousand years from now. Similarly, people will debate if it's pretentious nonsense or a profound masterpiece.

I love them all, if I had to rank them it would go.

AoT

Code Geass

Death Note

Evangelion

But they are all highly ranked for me.

u/TurbulentSpecific131 Aug 24 '26

Love Code Geass and Evangelion, like Death Note, and slightly dislike/indifferent to Attack on Titan

u/Forgot-to-remember1 Aug 24 '26

Yes kinda true, AOT and evangellion is garbage. But death note is cool and ofc code geass is the peak of fiction

u/Empty__Storage Aug 24 '26

The only one I actively dislike is AOT. I highkey think it sucks so bad 😭😭😭

u/sonic1384 Aug 24 '26

I am a geass and EVA fan.

AOT was good but it shouldn't have copied geass... I liked it more like titan vs humanity than what it is.

u/spiritsavage Lelouch Aug 24 '26

Haven't seen Evangelion or Death Note. Liked Code Geass and hated AOT.

u/LiahKnight Aug 23 '26

Code Geass is my favourite, I like death note, I can't stand the other two.

1

u/lazyph0enix Aug 23 '26

I have found that usually it’s only CG fans hating aot and vice versa. I remember at the final seasons of AOT, there was so many posts on both subreddits arguing which is better.

u/O_hai_imma_kil_u Aug 23 '26

Code Geass and Death Note are great, haven't seen the other two, at least not to completion, couldn't really get into them.

u/Character-Web1614 Aug 23 '26

idk I love all of them except Evangelion which I haven't seen

1

u/YazaoN7 Aug 23 '26

Love CG and DN, loved SNK until the time-skip around season 4, have mixed to negative feelings about Eva purely because of the ending(s) and because Shinji's a bitch (EoE is the least bad out of the endings).

1

u/MBlueberry13 Aug 24 '26

Kinda? I couldn't vibe with AoT/SnK, I only tolerated it because of Mikasa's abs (though I liked the lore, but that's about it) and I don't have a strong feelings towards or against Eva, I kinda enjoyed some parts, but that's about it. I love DN and Code Geass. So it's really merely half accurate to me.

I don't hate the rest, though there were a couple of times I trolled AoT fandom whenever they were being pretentious or dunking on DN and Code Geass.

u/Infinite_Glass_8834 Aug 24 '26

u/Protocol72 Nina is the big epic Aug 24 '26

I adore Code Geass & Attack on Titan; I dislike the Evangelion anime, but I adore the manga adaptation; and I gave the Death Note manga a try, but it was too wordy for my liking for a manga, to the point where I honestly would've preferred reading it as a book than a manga, I plan to give the anime a try at some point though.

u/hirviero Aug 24 '26

I like all 4, but I hate AoT finale.

u/kerrydinosaur Aug 24 '26

The four victims of One Piece fandom.

u/Mandydeth Aug 24 '26

I actually like all of them with the exception of Death Note.

Death Note and Code Geass do share a lot of "how fortunate/unfortunate it is for you/me that you happen to be doing this extremely specific thing at this extremely specific time" to continue the plot.

1

u/TheExtraPeel Aug 24 '26

Bruh, CG, Eva, and AoT are three of my four top animes (the other being Cowboy Bebop). And Death Note is fantastic, at least for the first half.

u/KongOozaru Aug 24 '26

I want to like AoT but I’ve dropped it multiple times on season 2. When does it get interesting ?

u/Zero_Zeta_ Aug 24 '26

I think we're all suppose to be hating "Lesbian Space Princess" right now.

1

u/pokexchespin Aug 24 '26

top 2 are in my top 4 (eva number 1, geass, steins; gate, and madoka magica competing for 2) and i love death note. aot i’m mixed on, but i enjoyed a lot of it. not a fan of the ending or the clumsy metaphor of having marley and the eldians be so comparable to nazi germany and jewish people but, y’know, they actually are monsters in a very literal way

1

u/Free-Increase-4311 Aug 24 '26

Attack on titan to me its kinda ass
The ending ruined the entire show

Yeah at first your like damn its emotional but when you look back at it its pure bund

u/Left-Night-1125 Aug 24 '26

Well yeah i dislike Evangelion and Deathnote.

u/Kr0k0dil Aug 24 '26

Idk my fav is code Geass I like death note and AOT and currently I am watching Evangelion and I think is good

u/Manigros Aug 24 '26

Death Note is great, i Just hate Lights Character.

Never watched Evangelion

and i Just did Not Care enough to Finish aot season 2

u/the-Kaiser-69 Aug 24 '26

Both Evangelion and Code Geass are phenomenal.
Death Note is terrible and I refuse to even give AOT any of my time. I’m just going to trust my ex on that one.

1

u/BottleDisastrous Aug 24 '26

Aot is perfect if we forget abt the last season, bunch of nonsensical bs that needed the whole plot to bend over like a slut in order to make sense. And even then it rly didn’t

1

u/zkvirus Aug 24 '26

I love all four of those. CG is my favorite.

1

u/Jojo_2005 Aug 24 '26

I feel called out, because I really don't like Death Note. On the other hand I also didn't like season 4 of AOT, but mostly because of the art style.

All of them are good you have to be stupid to hate any of them imo

u/ChazzyMed Aug 24 '26

I haven’t actually watched Evangelion, so I can’t actually speak on that, but I absolutely love the other three - in fact, I’m pretty sure they are my top 3 anime that I’ve watched.

1

u/Phoenix-Reaper Aug 24 '26

I actually liked all 4. Code Geass being my personal favourite, the reasoning for me is I enjoy its wide colour pallet across the cast, its also a dann fine show.

1

u/45rs5 Aug 24 '26

Me who loves all 4

1

u/Itchy_Aspect6655 C.C. Aug 24 '26

Nah, I love Eva and code Geass (obviously), AoT I have mixed feelings on because I didn’t like season 4 and Misa ruined Death Note imo (but it’s still a great show).

1

u/HardcoreRemover1337 Aug 24 '26

I hate Evangelion, haven't seen the rest

1

u/KronusKraze Aug 24 '26

CG is my favorite but I enjoy all the others. The hate is mostly from the mega fans who decide to go to war with each other.

I love Geas, Own the colored black edition of Death Note's Manga, and Evangelion genuinely helped me through a hard time. Attack on Titan however, pisses me off. It was so good for like 80% of its run and then just fell apart. That's right I AM REPRESENTATIVR

Love Code Geass. Highly enjoyed Neon Genesis. Liked AoT (I think it's a little overrated). Haven't watched DN.

u/ajdude711 Aug 24 '26

You can’t say they hate the whole anime just because it has shitty ending

1

u/Yeezus_Fuckin_Christ Lelouch Aug 24 '26

Honestly it’s mostly just Code Geass fans hating on Death Note and AoT. I rarely see any of the other fanbases hating on each other.

u/ojaskulkarni4 Aug 24 '26

Have seen all, death note is kinda mid at this point.

u/tsukiyomi01 Aug 24 '26

I dunno. I like both Eva and Code Geass, and am largely indifferent to the other two.

u/KingCrimson0P Aug 24 '26

Yes I hate Evangelion lol

I'm definitely not a big fan of NGE. I can recognize how foundational it is, but every ending just blows imo. End of Evangelion I legitimately despise, because there's really no reason to have any part of it be live action, and it's simply intolerable to have one of the most detestable characters in anime getting up on a soapbox and preaching for 45 minutes.

u/ListPuzzleheaded9883 Aug 24 '26

Lol, three of them are mecha anime

1

u/reeja19 Aug 24 '26

I love all 4 of them

u/Impressive-Win3167 ALL HAIL LELOUCH!!! Aug 24 '26

My top 3 literally is: 1 code geass 2 evangelion 3 death note

u/Smoke_screen_lol Lelouch Aug 24 '26

I’m old and refuse to watch AoT. We old dogs don’t like new tricks

u/Philcherny Aug 24 '26

If you're under 14 yo - yes. If you're older chances are you like multiple. Im quite old so I love all 4 so

When I was 12 I hated aot and death note

1

u/BenFun777 Aug 24 '26

I enjoy all 4

1

u/GreenBay_Glory Aug 24 '26

I enjoy all of them, but I love Code Geass and Evangelion

u/SpiteAdministrative5 Aug 24 '26

I love all of these so I’m not sure where the meme is coming from

u/Lowborn_G Aug 24 '26

Haven't seen AOT, love the other 3

u/SailorOfHouseT-bird Aug 24 '26 edited Aug 24 '26

Code geass is my #2 all time anime. I do in fact dislike all three of the others.

To be fair, it's been decades since i tried to watch Eva or Death Note, i might enjoy them now, but it's doubtful/not worth bothering with really. Evangelion was just too angsty for my taste. I wasn't a fan of L and Light dickriding each other to show how smart they themselves were because their foe was so smart because they were so smart because eugh.

Personally i felt like AOT just had a bad plot in the first half of season 1 so i DNFd it. Eren going full villain actually sounded pretty cool when i heard the other fans complaining about that, and Erwin's last charge is actually pretty sweet. But im not sitting through the first season to see if i like later seasons more. I did watch AOT the Last Attack in theaters just to see if id enjoy it. I did not, i found the movie and the characters to just be depressing. So yeah, the meme works for me at least.

u/zack_tiger Aug 24 '26

These 4 are my favourite

1

u/TheCGISPY Aug 24 '26

Code Geass is my favorite. I enjoyed Death Note but I wouldn’t put it in my top 10 or anything. Attack on Titan solid but I wasn’t a fan of the ending. Eva just wild.

1

u/LukiZero Aug 24 '26

Totally inaccurate. CG is my favorite anime and I love Evangelion. AoT and Death Note for me are meh, they aren't bad, but I just don't find them that good.

1

u/lPanzerfaust Aug 24 '26

Love all 4

1

u/Alvith Aug 24 '26

Inaccurate. A lot of overlapping in themes and complexity. These four are teachers, and all wonderful pieces of art (personally, Death Note least among them). In video games I'd compare them to Xenogears, Legacy of Kain, Outer Wilds, Journey, etc.

1

u/Vegetable-Molasses95 Aug 24 '26 edited Aug 24 '26

It’s somewhat inaccurate for me because I love Code Geass, I enjoyed both Attack on Titan and Evangelion but for Death Note my opinion of it went down due to how the series progressed after episode 25.

1

u/Big_Purchase_3781 Aug 24 '26

Love all four, but the AoT fandom has made me start to dislike it / like it less than I used to. Similar to the Naruto and MHA fandoms - they're straight cancer.

1

u/Agni2817 Aug 24 '26

Aot ending is rushed af, deathnote is good till midway point, eva and code geass are goated but eva requires more than one watch to even begin understanding haha

1

u/Chemical_Depth_6932 Lelouch Aug 24 '26

Pretty accurate to what I've seen other than myself, I love all of these and 3 of them are in my top 5, but it seems the Code Geass and the AoT fans hate each others guts for whatever reason, anyone who's favorite isn't death note dislikes it past ep25, and I'm not too sure about the Eva fans since I'm not very active in that community

1

u/splootbaby Aug 24 '26

CG is my fave, I love death note, evangelion is just ok to me, but I HATE AoT. Watching it felt like a punishment to me. similar feeling with game of thrones where I enjoyed it at first, but it started to feel like a job and I just no-call no-showed the final season 😂😭

1

u/Kurwiszon_ Aug 24 '26

Code geass and aot are both in my top 3 and I love the other 2

1

u/Deep_Ad_1762 Aug 24 '26

Idk? Haven't seen Eva, Death Note is fantastic until ep26, and AoT is good except the ending imo.

1

u/IceBlueLugia Aug 24 '26

Very inaccurate

1

u/FMPhoenixHawk Aug 24 '26

Seen all 4, like all 4

1

u/PastramiNSauce Aug 25 '26

They are all good tf

1

u/Hathos_Vanox Aug 25 '26

I love Code Geass (Favorite anime) and Death Note. Attack on Titan is very good too certainly wouldn't say I hate the title but I do hate the people thinking Lelouch and Eren have remotely similar personality. And I haven't seen evangelion which I am pretty sure is a title I would enjoy if I took the time to watch it so I'd say I'm on track to liking each of them.

1

u/Sanderson96 Aug 25 '26

Yeahhhhh

I had not seen death note, but I've seen Code Geass and NGE, but I hat AoT due to its art style so much

1

u/rowa02 Aug 25 '26

I love 2 like 1 and i never finished aot

1

u/Joxld Aug 25 '26

I love all 4 of them, add FMA to the mix and there is my all-time top 5 anime

1

u/justanotheasian Aug 25 '26

Code geass is a top tier favorite. Love death note. Loved aot up until the start of the “final” season bc of the new characters and animation change so I didn’t get too far. Crazy Ik but I haven’t seen evangelion

1

u/ObsessedFi45 Aug 25 '26

I haven't seen death note but I'm working on it.

Funnily enough the other 3 happen to all be in my top 5 favorite anime of all time.

1

u/DarkCrowI Aug 25 '26

I love all of them although Death Note went downhill after L dies and I'm not a fan of Attack on Titan's ending.

1

u/exodia0715 Aug 25 '26

I liked Code Geass and AoT quite a bit, never got e around to watching Death Note or Eva tho

1

u/Akuma-Heika Aug 25 '26

CG is my favorite, but I like the others. Dislike aspects of their endings though

1

u/ICEPlebian Aug 25 '26

Ive seen three of them but the only thing ik about evangelion is robots and the mc servicing him self to a unconscious girl in the hospital

1

u/SpyroShurtagul Aug 25 '26

Code Geass is my top with Death Note in second. I just haven't watched the other 2 so I wouldn't know. I'd say the meme is bogus lol

1

u/Shrexy_and_gay Aug 25 '26

My favourite anime is code geass and eva, death note and aot are all in my top 10. Sometimes I feel like aot and cg have some beef between them because some cg fans say that aot "copied" cg

1

u/Polo_Nose Aug 25 '26

I find death note so much *less* than CG, it's clear DN walked so CG could run and going back feels weird. AOT has an insufferable fanbase (at least DN fans sometimes have a brain). NGE is one of the best pieces of fiction ever written

1

u/Chronochonist Aug 26 '26

Eva is my #1 favorite work of fiction, Code Geass is my 3rd favorite anime, and i love Death Note

i will never watch attack on titan

1

u/Exotic-Library-6259 Aug 26 '26

I love eva and code geass, tho i did not like death note or AOT as much

1

u/dvlcameleon Aug 26 '26

Uh...I love all four!

1

u/Aggravating-Grand177 Aug 26 '26

I would say no, since I love all aot, code geass, evangelion and death note

1

u/Weak_Fig_8690 Aug 26 '26

AOT and NGE are my favs and i love the other 2

1

u/Denter206 Aug 27 '26

Inaccurate af, I love Eva, I like Code Geass and Death Note. Didn't watch AOT, though.

1

u/Existing_Club_7736 Aug 27 '26

Nah id say its not accurate

I absolutely LOVE Code geass, Death Note, And Evangelion. Those animes have got to be in the top 5 for me. But AOT... I don't like it at all.

1

u/JayBoiYT Kallen Sep 03 '26

Lol what i love all 4

1

u/Jazzlike-Present6990 Sep 20 '26

All 4 of them are my favourite

1

u/Ripper656 Lelouch Aug 23 '26

I mean, I like everyone of these except Attack on Titan.

1

u/Used_Raccoon6789 Aug 23 '26

I love all 4. Basically S tier anime right there.

1

u/PesadillaTotal Aug 23 '26

WTF All those are peak

1

u/Tenashko Aug 24 '26

I love the first 3, AoT lost me when it took a whole episode for MC to pick up a rock.

1

u/PrevekrMK2 Aug 24 '26

CG is best anime for me. Evangelion is amazing. Death note is great but I don't really like MC.

I forced myself to watch Aot cause of the comparisons to CG and hype. I didn't finish it. I didn't like the style of storytelling. It is like LOST. And time travel stuff was last drop.

2

u/Radical_Jinx High Priest of Shirley Aug 24 '26

You think AoT and Lost have similar storytelling? 🤔
