It seems Evangelion fandom hates the Re:Zero most, i can't blame them actually for not accepting superior series in every possible way. I mean if I was Evangelion fan I would be cry because Re:Zero basically does everything better even without focusing it.

I mean I can understand why Evangelion fans dislike Re:Zero so much.

They have main character like Shinji which they value most but Re:Zero has god-tier main character like Subaru which has best character development, motivations, depth and so more. Subaru's goals, motivations, backstory and everything is executed better.

Psychological aspect which Evangelion fans like most is unfortunately inferior to Re:Zero every way. This is mostly because Evangelion psychology is more focused on depression but psychology is not simple thing to reduce that. Re:Zero does this amazingly, every character has their own unique problems, depth and each one of them requires special psychological approach. We can understand why Psychologists like Re:Zero more than Evangelion because Re:Zero is more realistic in actual human psychology. Re:Zero wins.

Suspense aspect of Evangelion is inferior to Re:Zero, we know Shinji has plot armor pretty much but Subaru doesn't have plot armor. Yes he can't die permanently but that doesn't prevent you to see so many deaths and possibility of no-return. I'm not watching Evangelion and expect some angel kill Shinji in first 10 episodes but I can expect Subaru or other cast die in most horrible way every episode. Re:Zero wins.

Action aspect of Evangelion is my opinion also inferior to Re:Zero. Re:Zero is unique fantasy series has its own power system, Evangelion is just mecha action and not even mechas in Evangelion are special. They don't have custom attacks or something you understand me. Action in evangelion is super flat not just inferior to Re:Zero but pretty much inferior to everything.

Character Cast in Evangelion is again too inferior compared to Re:Zero, Re:Zero has over 50+ unique characters each othem has their own depth, motivations, goals, psychology, development through too many books & seasons. Re:Zero easily wins.

Drama is very subjective but I didn't attached to any character in Evangelion because they are simply same to me, they have same problems, they have same psychological issues. Even though Re:Zero characters are fantasy-born they are somehow more relatable and attachable then Evangelion characters which born in place similar to real-world somehow. Only way to attach Evangelion is pretty much watching it in depression, I don't see around. For general drama aspect every character acts like worst happened to him while you know what happened to R:Z Characters. "Daddy Issues" vs. "Seeing everyone die" yeah pretty much Re:Zero wins here.

Mystery part of Evangelion is not even close, mystery about mecha or the world not interesting as Re:Zero's tons of mysteries which executed perfectly without flaws. Re:Zero wins Mystery part easily as it engages you in entire Anime & Novel. Re:Zero easy win here.

Not even need to mention about Worldbuilding & Lorebuilding. Re:Zero is a dark fantasy series, Evangelion is Sci-Fi. Evangelion never explains how other world countries react to that world changing events etc. which already makes Evangelion worldbuilding weak. Re:Zero worldbuilding & lorebuilding has unique style which is one of top in fiction. Unique parts about World and Lore always keep you interest in Re:Zero and you want to learn more as MC progress and you explore with him. I don't know why I even explained this much, Re:Zero huge easy win.

Voice Acting & Musics & Art etc. also better in Re:Zero.

Popular anime syndrome.

A lot of spiteful haters thinking this show does not deserve as much recognition as their favourite show (envy).
Negative reviews are very few, because show is overall good, so haters are flocking to them and upvoting them, validating their shit takes.
As such those few reviews are elevated to the top. On top of that, "confusing" rating elevates them even more, despite it should act as a dislike.

I don't think, that Evangelion is the factor here, because that happens literally under every popular anime ever.

My reason on why I thought Re:ZERO was subpar is not because it’s “the exact same” (okay, maybe it copied quite a fair bit of elements) but rather it’s wasted potential, mostly that goddamn second season that turns it into a contrived mess.

Yes, the lore is great but when applied, characters fall very short. Characters have no real purpose except become a dick-sucker for Subaru. But wait, that’s not the end of it.

The first 12 episodes were at the same level of the first season but the second part was made of 9 flashback episodes 400 years earlier that didn't totally contribute to the story as mentioned with the characters. We only saw how much dumber Emilia was.

However, the 4th arc(2nd season) is considered as the worse of the 6 (The 3 first arcs have the same length of the 4th, 5th or 6th.). If that arc is the worse, let’s find out what's next because in the end, the show is almost a joke.

My thoughts are not very precise but I don’t attempt to overflow the comment section so I’ll leave it here as it is.

Re:Zero anime is unbelievably heinous and clumsy (most of the time) and has a lot of issues, not to mention extremely superficial and unsubtle.
I can agree the light novel is great, yes, but the anime is just a piece of trash.

Comparing Shinji and Subaru is like comparing Light and Lelouch. Similar qualities, but if you look deeper they are very different characters.

My thoughts are not very precise but I don’t attempt to overflow the comment section so I’ll leave it here as it is.

This happens when you watch Season 2 blindfolded.

I explained in my other post why Re:Zero is superior to Evangelion in every aspect. If you gave Evangelion 9/10 then you have to give Re:Zero 90/10


I did pay attention and I still think that the amount of depth just isn't there. Again, my points aren't very precise but I'll say this (and repeat some of what I just said): Characters, while having very interesting lore, are pretty much dick-suckers for Subaru, the pacing is too awkward and I don't need to mention much just how annoying the dialogue spam was in the second cour of season 2.

Heck, even Subaru wasn't that great of a character. On paper, he's very unique to every isekai MC but when applied, his relationships with Emilia isn't too interesting. He also doesn't get enough growth so he's basically a walking "lore explorer" for girls to simp for.

Before you ask:
Go stick with your hero vs villain series or trash that is Mushoku Tensei instead. And stay away from peak fiction that is Re:ZERO.


Except, the whole hero vs villain thingy isn't bad. It's just used a lot. It is better when a certain series executed it right.

As for Mushoku, Rudeus and the main girls actually have their own major growth as well as maintaining interesting dynamics. I do NOT support Rudeus' filthy actions but this development is still far more interesting than Subaru's.

Most eva fans are mentally unstable pretentious and arrogant they make their living by hypocritically belittling popular animes and it's just disgusting how many eva fans defends Shinji's faping on hospital, most fans liked it because it was relatable to them and you can now imagine how mentally unstable they can be because as you know literally each character in the anime was pathetic and disgusting and when you relate to crazy you become crazy so ignore em...

IMO both Eva and re:zero are great series but first we must consider the series in general(not only anime, or Ln...) becouse the anime of re:zero do a great work but it's not an inkredible adaptation and olso the web novel it's not written in a mind blowing way, it's not bad written but... ye it's normal. second i think that eva is more tidy series, but finally they are different series, i think they are fantastic series written in different time and context with different goal and different way to telling this goal. So the core of the series are identical in level of beauty, but for me eva is better done. This is my personal opinion

Umineko EP8 is nothing compared to Peak of Re:Zero. All of Umineko is not better than one Re:Zero arc, wake up to reality.

It has 8% 1/10 from bots🥲
Also the visual novel is rated higher than rezero lol

I don't need to read COTE too see how overrated it is. Even COTE anime doesn't have any remarkable quality, just a circus show. Idk if LN is 10x better than Anime that doesn't still make it to Top50.

Also you like Mushoku Tensei, Fate Heaven's Feel. I'm very confident it is hugely overrated.

Both novels of that same same circus show are rated more than Re zero LN.
Any thoughts on that?

Both novels of that same same circus show are rated more than Re zero LN.
Any thoughts on that?

Even Re:Zero is -0.10 rated if you click stats you see there is more people and percentage of 10/10 in Re:Zero than COTE. (re:zero has more haters)

Also Re:Zero have really specific target audience which not everyone will like or understand.

How i can take rankings that seriously if One Piece is 9.21 when it deserves 3/10 at best.

COTE has more haters. Some people hate it because of the fandom, many hate it because of Ayanokouji wannabes, there are also people who hate it because of dumb power scalers. There is a COTE hater right here talking to me but you won't find Re zero haters that easily. You know what that means?
I love Monogatari Series

I swear ReZero fans have one of the worst taste in humankind. Their lists are ridiculously atrocious to the point where I'm not mad, just disappointed.

You have Death Note on 6 wtf are you even on lmao. Your taste is objectively horrible and I don't think I need to explain why.

I like Death Note but writing is objectively terrible. Entire plot is coincidence, smart characters are not smart as you think, plot armors, plot conveniences, plot holes and so much more.

Every near perfect show has it's set of flaws which is natural. I don't really think you know what you're actually talking about my guy. Develop a good taste probably I guess.
Death note is the pinnacle of Japanese entertainment and nothing can convince me otherwise . Deservingly so, it's regarded as one of the greatest piece of media to ever air on TV worldwide. The only other close contenders are probably AOT and STEINS GATE and nothing else comes close.

It seems Evangelion fandom hates the Re:Zero most, i can't blame them actually for not accepting superior series in every possible way. I mean if I was Evangelion fan I would be cry because Re:Zero basically does everything better even without focusing it.

Okeanix said:
I mean I can understand why Evangelion fans dislike Re:Zero so much.

They have main character like Shinji which they value most but Re:Zero has god-tier main character like Subaru which has best character development, motivations, depth and so more. Subaru's goals, motivations, backstory and everything is executed better.

Psychological aspect which Evangelion fans like most is unfortunately inferior to Re:Zero every way. This is mostly because Evangelion psychology is more focused on depression but psychology is not simple thing to reduce that. Re:Zero does this amazingly, every character has their own unique problems, depth and each one of them requires special psychological approach. We can understand why Psychologists like Re:Zero more than Evangelion because Re:Zero is more realistic in actual human psychology. Re:Zero wins.

Suspense aspect of Evangelion is inferior to Re:Zero, we know Shinji has plot armor pretty much but Subaru doesn't have plot armor. Yes he can't die permanently but that doesn't prevent you to see so many deaths and possibility of no-return. I'm not watching Evangelion and expect some angel kill Shinji in first 10 episodes but I can expect Subaru or other cast die in most horrible way every episode. Re:Zero wins.

Action aspect of Evangelion is my opinion also inferior to Re:Zero. Re:Zero is unique fantasy series has its own power system, Evangelion is just mecha action and not even mechas in Evangelion are special. They don't have custom attacks or something you understand me. Action in evangelion is super flat not just inferior to Re:Zero but pretty much inferior to everything.

Character Cast in Evangelion is again too inferior compared to Re:Zero, Re:Zero has over 50+ unique characters each othem has their own depth, motivations, goals, psychology, development through too many books & seasons. Re:Zero easily wins.

Drama is very subjective but I didn't attached to any character in Evangelion because they are simply same to me, they have same problems, they have same psychological issues. Even though Re:Zero characters are fantasy-born they are somehow more relatable and attachable then Evangelion characters which born in place similar to real-world somehow. Only way to attach Evangelion is pretty much watching it in depression, I don't see around. For general drama aspect every character acts like worst happened to him while you know what happened to R:Z Characters. "Daddy Issues" vs. "Seeing everyone die" yeah pretty much Re:Zero wins here.

Mystery part of Evangelion is not even close, mystery about mecha or the world not interesting as Re:Zero's tons of mysteries which executed perfectly without flaws. Re:Zero wins Mystery part easily as it engages you in entire Anime & Novel. Re:Zero easy win here.

Not even need to mention about Worldbuilding & Lorebuilding. Re:Zero is a dark fantasy series, Evangelion is Sci-Fi. Evangelion never explains how other world countries react to that world changing events etc. which already makes Evangelion worldbuilding weak. Re:Zero worldbuilding & lorebuilding has unique style which is one of top in fiction. Unique parts about World and Lore always keep you interest in Re:Zero and you want to learn more as MC progress and you explore with him. I don't know why I even explained this much, Re:Zero huge easy win.

Voice Acting & Musics & Art etc. also better in Re:Zero.

Is there anything i forgot? I don't see anything Evangelion does better.

I'm a fan of both EVA and ReZero... but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

People are constantly hating on anything and everything, can’t we just appreciate the fact that somebody got out of their shell and put their creativity to work in the first place? Content doesn’t need to be the best in the world, and it doesn’t need to be compared to one another, some comparison is fine, but not the extent that most do. Hate is absolutely stupid when it comes to content, if you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Everybody has different opinions about everything. Everything is good in it’s own right, and everything is bad in its own right, but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter if a show is good or bad, because it’s somebody’s work of art. That’s all that matters, appreciate the work gone into the stories you so casually watch and hate or love. It’s alright to express your opinions, but showing hatred towards another show, book, literally anything content related, is not only unnecessary, but it’s irrelevant, and a naive way of thinking.
I personally loved Re: Zero though, I wouldn’t say it’s superior to any other anime though, the mental state Subaru finds himself in just felt relatable in a way, it had a great story in my opinion, and that’s that. No need to belittle another anime for the one that I like to be good.

I agree on a lot of points, especially the psychology aspect and characters. I don't feel anything towards the characters or the psychology behind them because they aren't written well at all. I find it hard to watch an episode of NGE due to how flat it can be, both in mystery and drama.

Re:Zero is a lot more engaging, you are more likely to be on your toes most of the time. The desire to know more about the world and the answers. The story is great, never leaving a single bit unexplored due to how many side stories there are. You can see a lot more passion behind Re:Zero than NGE as a whole.

These threads absolutely bring out the worst out of both Re:Zero's fans and haters, just stop that already. It's always the ones with the most eggaxerated and braindead takes that you'll find by creating such a non-sensical thread.

On one side you have the die-hard elitists who breath Re:Zero and trash every other series and on the other you'll find people with takes just as bad.

We don't want your shitty "comparisons" where both parties just flame eachother and spam "X is better than Y" or "X is deeper than Y" without actually diving into the subject.
You can like or hate Re:Zero (or any series really) all you want but please spare us these moronic threads.

Listen, I love re: Zero but even I can't pretend to believe you have any idea what you are talking about....You are comparing two totally different series in aspects they have totally different approaches on, all I see is just a guy that heard Evangelion was good, watched it, and then ended up disliking it because it didn't suit his "standards" of entertainment and now just wants to complain about it online without having any idea about the topics he is talking about.....

I honestly should have ended my comment here but just for the sake of constructive dialog I will try to break down your points. First though let me be clear (because people on the internet will assume your entire personality on one word you said and then assume you have a secret agenda for whatever you are saying) I don't think Evangelion is perfect, far from it, in the entertainment factor I think it lacks a lot compared to modern anime. But I do believe Evangelion is an amazing piece of ART that very uniquely captures the nature of the human psyche and in that aspect YES I do believe Evangelion deserves all the praise it is getting.

So having that out of the way let's get started

1) Your first point seems to be the main characters, but unfortunately you don't seem to give any explanation as to why Subaru is better than shinji and you just leave it at "executed better" so honestly there is not much to comment about your views here, since you are not really saying anything...

2) Your second point is "phycology" (whatever that means to you) and you seem to imply that the reason Evangelion inferior is because it has less diversity than re: Zero and the theme is only reduced to "depression" (but let me correct you here even though I find it weird how you missed it so easily, the theme of Evangelion is human relationships not depression)... So now when I put it like that it does sound a little stupid don't you think? Have you heard of quantity over quality? Yes having a lot of characters with different inner workings and getting it done right is difficult to achieve, but that does not mean it's better than Evangelion, because it can't really reach the same depth as it does... Evangelion may not have characters as diverse or evolving over the course of the story as re: Zero but it does explore it's characters way more in depth, it doesn't just stop on their thoughts, feelings and motivations but it even explores parts of their psyche that even they are not aware about. because guess what! that's how humans truly are, we are not Programs running on logic and emotions, re: Zero characters are great but that's all they are, characters not real people, perfect for telling a story and getting a reaction from an audience but just that, there is not any attempt in reaching down to the actual nature of the human mind, because in the end of the day there is no need to, re: Zero's characters are good as they are for it's story but that does not make them better.
(As for the one about psychologists preferring re: Zero over Evangelion, I don't know from which psychologist's ass you pulled that from so I am not even gonna bother...)

3) As for the suspense in the two shows, I do agree re: Zero is better, but that was never even a card Evangelion was playing so why even bother comparing.... As for the plot armor though....have you even watched the series?! need I remind you how it ends?!....And please don't pretend re: Zero doesn't have plot armor because Subaru literally plays the role of plot armor on this series, if you want my opinion the suspense in the series comes from Subaru's struggles and the progression of the story and not because you are actually afraid about the fate of the other characters because you know in the end he is going to save the day, but anyways moving on....

4) about the action aspect I totally agree, Evangelion never really stood a chance.... most of the time action is a little lame (beautifully animated, but still lame) but as I said before, action was never really the core of the series

5) again, quantity does not equal better than quality, I already made my point about this before

6) "drama is really subjective but I didn't really attach to any character in Evangelion" well that sounds like a you problem lmao.
But it is true that Evangelion characters are harder to relate to, because they are personified character extremes, but again that does not make them "bad" characters, just not very satisfactory in the entertainment part you personally were looking for in them

7,8) well I would say mystery is very subjective too. The mystery in re: Zero is the actual world whether Evangelion's is mostly on what's going on behind the scenes, now as to what is better or worse that's on anyone preferences, same goes with world building too since both shows do an excellent job building their worlds the matter of what's "good" or not has now to do as to whether or not you like the world being explored and it's mysteries solved or not. I personally like both but I think Evangelion's has a certain charm to it since it fits perfectly the story's themes, nothing ever 100% gets answered and you, just like the protagonist live in a world you can't fully understand and no answers are really given. You really get this feeling of understanding your own ignorance from never managing to see what's really going on and I think it perfectly fits the themes of desperation and depression of the show, but that's just my opinion



That's all I had to say, if it was even remotely interesting, good. If not ,I don't know, guess I wasted my time, I never expected to change anyone's opinion either way, but I do hope people who blindly hate on Evangelion look at this and may consider re watching the show from a new perspective

Both are great series. I haven't seen EVA in a while but it definitely stuck with me (in a good way). Re:zero is a very fun anime. But you can't really compare them IMO. In the end of the day it doesn't really matter though which one is more popular. Just watch and enjoy anime.

Back before Re:Zero Season 2 Part 2 came out, I heard a lot of people claiming it would be 'peak fiction'. Considering that I was surprised at how much I liked the first part of Season 2 and I hadn't read the source material, I decided to believe in the hype.

Unfortunately, I found it to be merely decent. Even though some of the character backstories were cool and it tied up the previous seasons arcs nicely, all the tension built up in the previous part (and previous seasons) seemed to be resolved far too easily. It didn't seem like 'peak fiction' to me.

Also, I don't really like Re:Zero's visual style, especially some of the female character designs. Although, I can't really blame the anime for that as it's just my personal taste.

That said, I'll still watch Season 3 and I hope it's good. However, this time I won't believe the fans when they tell me that 'the next arcs are peak fiction'.
