| This is only for those who have finished both shows. I just finished EoE and it really feels that Code Geass copied its concept (the Emperors and Empresses "wish") from NGE and EoE. What do you think? Has this concept been copied by NGE in the first place? Suddenly I feel like R2 is not that good if it copied it.... |
| dunno but others say Attack on Titan copy its concept from NGE |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| Code Gayass copied a lot of things. |

| I've heard that its influence by LoGH but I haven't completed either so I can't say for sure. |

| You don't have to do this. Unless you're being serious, in which case even if it did, Evangelion wasn't even the first to pull that move. I can at least think of Childhood's End from 1953. |
| Of course. Shinji's uselessness was mirrored by the state Lelouch's geass inflicts on people. Nina is a copy of Asuka, and Suzaku is a copy of Rei. Let's not forget the biggest one of all: the 2deep4u is reflected by the depth of Karen's ***. |

I can at least think of Childhood's End from 1953. I should look it up. I appreciate a pioneering concept when it comes to anime, so it's a dampner if numerous shows have the same underlying concept. |

Your going to be disappointed then. Since that's the reality we will have to face in story telling. Or any entertainment medium to be exact. In the end it all depends on execution. |

Well yeah, it's easy to say that every story worth telling has already been told. Now the challenge is to tell each of those stories in different contexts, with different combinations, or just outright "better," whatever that may mean. |
| Code Geass is mainly inspired by LoGH. Considering how small it's fanbase is, Sunrise could easily take some of the great elements from LoGH (Reinhard, the strategic genius and charismatic leader MC, world/galactic-wide conflict and politics), mix it up with some mecha, magic, and fanservice to make it more palatable, and you have the recipe for a hugely successful anime. Of course things like the Ragnarok Connection was inspired by NGE's Human Instrumentality Project and one could argue Geass was inspired by Death Note (manga) but I still believe it was primarily inspired by LoGH. |

I can at least think of Childhood's End from 1953. Just went through the summary if Childhood's End. NGE did copy it- the children being inter-connected through telepathy and the ultimate amalgamation of all lifeforms into a single entity, the Overmind. Thanks. |

Ok. I should give LoGH a try. But I was talking about the Emperors wish of all humans shedding their masks in CG and the wish of SEELE for humanity to become a single entity devoid of any fear. |
| No. It's a mix of LoGH, Gundam SEED, Death Note and some school comedy. RahXephon is an Eva copy. |
| I guess both protagonists in each have the same hair color, I'll give you that. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| >did Code Geass copy its concept from NGE? yes |
 |
| aside from the mecha. (whih is also debatable) i seriously dont see how CG coppied NGE |

|
| wouldn't say it was copy there are little similarities at best |
 |
| What "wish" concept from NGE are you talking about? Anyway the only NGE influence I see on Code Geass is the Insutrmentality-esque concept that Charles tries to start with his wife in R2 towards the end |
| The akashic records ;) |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
| Who knows? Shows copy each other all the time. It's nothing new. |
 |
| I always thought that Charlez' plan was kind of a lame version of instrumentality. So yeah... |

Well that's definitely a better comparison than CG vs NGE though, I really don't know about that one.. |

| I can't really recall what you're referring to by the "Empress's wish." Actually I can't even think of anything that NGE or CG have in common on a conceptual level. Regardless, storytelling is always going to be a process of creating new worlds via inspiration from old ones. Whether that ends up being a rip off, pure coincidence, or an original take on an old idea, it's nigh impossible to not run into these kinds of similarities eventually. Ultimately, everything copies Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. |

| Lol people make it keep like "copying" is a bad thing, if you can copy it and make it better then so be it. A lot of songs in the "West" are derived from older songs, but made better just like Code Geass and the "shows" you guys say it is "copying". |

| One is an elegant deconstruction and reaffirmation of self-worth disguised as a mecha show and the other is bombastic nationalistic propaganda disguised as a mecha show. Conceptually they are as diverse as you can really get once you've looked past the surface. |
| Now you're wondering if there's white text in any of my other posts. Over there, I'm everywhere. I know that. |

somethingweird said: nah but anything can be a copy of anything if you look hard enough. ^ this I have literally never considered this. Not sure how the two are similar at all. But maybe I'm just not looking hard enough... in which case, I refer back to the quote above. |

Kreion said: I'm going to assume you're calling CG the propaganda there...which is pretty stupid when one of the main points of the show is that all the nations are pretty shitty - there are no factions in CG which are 'good' really... America Britannia are protrayed as literal Nazis. The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are incorporated as a violent and senseless tragedy. Nina. Lelouche and Suzaku are both nationalistic role models for delinquent youths and straight-a students respectively. The Chinese. It's literally a fantasy of Japan rising up from the ashes of a prior defeat and taking over the world and a bit of moral ambiguity doesn't change that. |

I didn't remember what it was called but we're talking about the same thing nonetheless, doesn't matter That is just one measly aspect of Code Geass so I'm not sure why you called it a "concept" as if it was the entire plot. But yea I do agree it is similar to the Instrumentality plan but then again, I doubt that's unique to NGE either since it's such a basically-developed idea to begin with |
| The show plagerized LoGH, only thing they didn't get is the modern animation. Lelouch is a cheap, pitiful, and ugly imitation of the proud, glorious, and dazzling Reinhard von Lohengramm. |
