My friend says code geass is a rip off of gundam is that true?

Question

my friend said code geass is a horrible anime and a rip off of gundam but i know code geass is not a horrible anime but what about it riping off gundam

Answer 1

heck no its actually pretty good....

well i think that its kinda like gundam but not exactly..doesnt center around mechas.

id call c.g. a death note/gundam anime.

Answer 2

Code Geass is not a rip off of Gundam. All robot animes have influences from Gundam. The creators are different, although the studio producing them is the same.

The horrible part is his/her opinion, we cannot do anything about it. Some animes are bad for me but are strongly adored by others.

Answer 3

Is it a mech based anime? I don't really watch much of the " in-season" c**p. If it's mech based then yea, to a certain degree it's a rip off of Gundam, Patlabor, Macross, etc. Why? Because the mecha designs of pretty much every anime is based off the mecha designs of one of the three I named. Plot wise I wouldn't know, I'd have to see it. Either way if you like the show watch and who cares if it's a rip off of another series.  It's not like anything past the U.C line of Gundam was that great anyways. Seed fanboys/girls can bite me.  

Answer 4

only if the very first mecha anime to be produced was gundam.(and that means all the other mecha animes were rip offs) While Code geass has nightmares and other mecha, it is very different from gundams in plot and drawing style.

Plus, you friend is wrong about code geass being a horrible anime so he or she might be wrong about other things as well. :)
