This is quite annoying, Code Geass is an anime I like a lot, and the thing that ruined it, was the Magic, that he can magically control people.

Had this magic not been in Code Geass, the anime would have been better, and anime would be a better medium if it wasn't so unrealistic.

The magic is practically believable compared to Lelouch's so called "brilliant tactics" XD.

Code Geass without Geass? Are you serious? How would Lelouch control people? If you want to watch realistic shows then maybe dont watch things tagged "super power" or "sci-fi"? There are a lot of good realistic shows like Monster

You need to find something else to watch. You won't go anywhere with your idea of Code Geass without Geass. That's the stupidest thing I read this whole week. Period.

Implying that the Geass was the only unrealistic thing in Code Geass.

I'm sorry, What?!!!!

the whole premise of Code Geass is that he can control people
How can you like the show, without liking that?

Moreover, what wrong with fantasy, sci-fi, non-fiction in general?

Pretty much sums up what I was going to say.

Op, if you want something realistic, just pay attention to the tags and synopsis of the anime. Some people like fictional work.

There are a lot of shows without any kind of magic/superpowers, you just need to find them.

Now, if you mean things like Code Geass without Geass, Death Note without a Death Note, Evangelion without Mecha and so on, you are better off watching Movies and Series.

I could understand what u are trying to say but his power is what makes him unique that what make Lelouch,Lelouch besides we would not have gotten the awesome scenes when he commands you to DIE LOL

Ps if you want a show without powers i suggest Legend of Galactic Heroes with Reinhard von Lohengramm.

Huh?
Geass is not only the thing that makes Code Geass such a cool show, but it's the reason it exists to begin with.
It would be completely different show without the superpower, Lelouch wouldn't be able to do shit and the story would end with him getting shot in the first few episodes.

If there was no Geass in Code Geass then it would have ended in the first episode with Lelouch getting shot, it's the entire premise of the show.

As for realism in anime as a whole, I don't think it'd be better at all if there was more realism. Some shows aren't made to be realistic at all and that's to be expected since anime is fictional. Hammering more realism into those types of shows would make them a lot less entertaining.

If it had been more realistic, the author would have been stuck in hell trying to write a plot that worked. Unrealistic fantasy geass elements + realism = difficult to write plot

A lot of the plot holes were ignored because it wasn't realistic and even then some were noticed.

Let's be real, what was realistic about this?

Some anime/manga does have much more realistic themes than others, but then again it's all about execution.

I've seen people complain about KnB not being realistic, particularly in the latter part of the story. This is frustrating as the author established early on it wouldn't be the next Slam Dunk.

The reason people watch anime in the first place is they want to escape from their boring and uneventful realities. If you want to see a realistic anime then you might as well not watch it. As it will be super boring.

To end it on the positive note, give anime in a slice of life genre a try. They are the more realistic anime out there.

So Attack on Titan would also be better if there were no titans. understandable

Anime like other media is meant to be fiction. Sure there can be some realism in cases but most of the time, having these unrealistic elements is what makes it enjoyable to watch. That's why video games tend to have unrealistic elements to them (most) since it's generally more enjoyable that way

If you want something realistic, look for shows that appeal to your tastes more, it's simple as that

Nope, definetly not, anime as an animation medium is much more suitable and credible for fantasy, magic, supernatural and super power settings than live action movies, tv shows or dramas. Lots of people(me included) like anime because they want to escape reality and anime offers a wast arrey of fantastical worlds, supernatural creatures, super powers and magical abilities that can't be found in realistic settings. If you want overly realistic things then just watch live action dramas. Anime would be very boring and not diverse at all if it was just slice of life, school rom-coms and realistic dramas.

So you're telling me that the geass power in Code Geass ruined Code Geass?

Realistic anime have their place, but they don't need to be the norm. A lot of people enjoy anime for escapism purely because they don't need to follow the rules of our universe.

You end it on a positive note and the OP goes and looks up slice of life anime and ends up watching Clannad After Story, AnoHana, MushiShi and Natsume and comes back with further complaints? Lol.

You have to be more specific when you need to end things on a positive note. :P

I think it should depend on the author. If the author wants to brain vomit magic, why not let them?

Sometimes I wish anime had more realistic art styles though. Something like Ilya Kushinov's work.

NYU, you are supposed from the race that intelectually supperior (lOl)...

lets goes philosophical... what is realism? in the end, realism is gathered from personal experience... sometimes, someone realism is stranger than fiction... i mean, some people believe someone can turn people into goat... it is realistic to them...

we are still talking about the concept of realism it self...
