>Original.
>Madoka.
>It's almost a complete carbon copy of Kamen Rider Ryuki.
Did we watch the same Kamen Rider Ryuki? I don't remember it being anything like Madoka.
Haters gonna hate.
Truth hurts for Madoka fans.
I don`t know, but I think the feeling of KRR and PMMM are not the same. And it is not like PMMM or KRR were bad.
I think someone once said that even plagiarism is art
Dude are you INCREDIBLY sure on your words? I watch Kamen Rider Ryuki too but both series shares no same elements AT ALL!!!

prove nothing
>Nothing.
Make a contract with a shady person/being.
Once the contract is made you must fight.
Fighting pays for the wish.
Fighting takes place where normal people can't enter.
Killing monsters is beneficial for the Rider/Magical Girl.
Yellow dies first; Scissors/Mami.
Blue fights to save loved one; Knight/Sayaka
uhmmm, anon, you just described an insane amount of different series.
So your argument is void.
If we stipe most movies/animes/mangas of their definying characteristics and mantain just the plot, we have the same thing.
Just search for the hero journey. And if you really want to learn about cabon copy, go read Eragon.
read the article. Original as in titles not adapted from manga, games and light novels, basically there was no source to get spoilers while the anime aired.
*reads first sentence of article again* "Anime originals – titles not adapted from manga, games and light novels..." I think you're arguing a different definition of original than this article intends...
And if you wanna say that about Madoka why not say Code Geass is a rip off of Final Fantasy 6, replace magitek armor with nightmares, replace the Returners with the Black Knights, replace the Gestahlian Empire with the Britanian Empire, replace the power of magic with the power of Geass, replace Espers with CC and her kind, Kefka and the Britanian emperor both seek to become gods, I could keep going.
make it easier. Replace everything with the Iliad and the Odyssey. Done deal, no arguments lol
Well, technically CG isn't a ripoff of FF6, just because it's similar in a lot a ways doesn't mean it's a ripoff. And even if it is, CG is still a pretty damn good anime to begin with.
Besides, if you consider that a rip-off, then how do you explain Illad and the Odyseey then?
He is just using it as an argument. Most stories nowadays use references from older sources, but it doesn't mean it was a ripoff.
Though I think first commenter is joking because comparing those two is far too retard
More like a complete copy of Bokurano.
At least that was acknowledged by way of multiple visual references.
Yes, except Borukano was much better.
Now thinking about it, you seem to be right. Just not the ending
>It's almost a complete carbon copy of Kamen Rider Ryuki.
Explain in more detail please.
casual not even knowing what original anime means and also confirmed for believing trollchart and not watching ryuki
I fought Evangelion is original too o_o
dog days?
isnt it a rip off of zero no tsukaima?
then both are rip offs from el hazard ...
Another list, this is interesting. I will now contribute in the only way i know how!
Lelouch lives! His anime should be #1 on this list and to anyone who thinks otherwise...You are wrong!
Code Geass was...I'll be simple and straight forward: bad.
lawl..
plz go back to watching moe and bite the dust when u reach wizard lvl
so you imply that people who dislike Code Gayass are moetards? son..
im implying that those that dislike any serious thinking or a little complicated anime are mainly moe watchers who prefere the easy on the eyes and brain anime.
tbh theres very few anime that can be called outright bad, even while typing this i cant think of any, every anime has something that keeps it from 'bad' and like CG its far from 'bad', u my not have enjoyed it, but anime is hardly ever 'bad'
Code Gayass wasn't complicated. it was a failed attempt of making Deathnote-like forced drama, only 25 times more gay
just because an anime has mechas doesn't make it better somehow. even the repetitive OST was horrible
and if you think AAAAAALLL anime is good, you certainly haven't seen series like Final Fantasy Legend of the Crystals
Code Geass was terrible and I enjoyed every bit of it.
The music was good, the action exciting, the ladies gorgeous and I got caught up in the plot.
But it was a terrible train wreck anime that did little sense, dropped plot lines left and right and made up new ones on the fly. Code Geass is the very opposite of the old "good idea, bad execution"
Code Geass' execution was brilliant and it would have been an unbeatable instant classic if the writers had a coherent idea about what to do with the plot rather than just a bunch of cool but incomplete idea nuggets that were never tied together properly.
Seems to me like you're describing Guilty Crown more than Code Geass. Now THAT was a train wreck.
I liked it when it was called " Gundam Insert Word or Letter Here". Wait. No I didn't.
comparing gundam 00 and code geass, the former is way superior in every single aspect.
even Gundam G is better than Code Gayass, and that's saying a lot
@05:22. Yeah, you're right. Code Gayass sucks
CG could be a lot better and many questions were left unanswered, most likely forever.
I didn't think CG was bad, but #1.... yeah no way lol.
Darker than Black anyone?? no...ok :(
>2. Angel Beats!
Wasn't it a Light Novel adaptation?
huh Hanasaku Iroha = manga :s
Hanasaku Iroha is an anime original. The manga may have been (partially) published before the anime aired, but the story nevertheless originated with the anime.
No.
They came out in parallel.
1,4,5, and 7 are there yet Fractale are not even though they're all of the same "quality level." Weird.
The fact that s-CRY-ed is that far down just makes me want to CRY. Same goes for TTGN.
No Eureka Seven...
yyyup...
Fuuuuuuck this.
No Star Driver?
This list needs more Guilty Crown and less Ano Natsu de Matteru.
Ano Natsu? Yes.
Guilty Crown? Hell NO!
Guilty Crown sucks soooooooo bad.
