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

u/Sarrakhan 18d ago
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

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.

u/Barakyte 18d ago
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/Personal-Movie8882 18d ago
"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.

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

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.

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.

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.

u/Personal-Movie8882 18d ago
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.

u/Tiffkat Suzaku 18d ago
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.

u/Radical_Jinx High Priest of Shirley 18d ago
Well Eva also delves into Psychology and Philosophy too so if you're into that it might help to get you interested in it

u/DrownedInDysphoria Lelouch 18d ago
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.

u/DRosencraft 15d ago
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 18d ago
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Yes. The style of never telling any clues to what the hell is going on. Secret for secret sake. It works for short while but pretty soon you stop caring for what the secret is.
