Why do people compare this shit to Death Note? It's not

They both came out the same time. They both obtain a godly power and use it to rule the world.

Light Taylor got egotistic and got himself killed
Lelouch let himself die for the greater good.

Light died and lost
Lelouch died and won

and for some reason there was frontal nudity in the second season when the show barely has any fanservice.

because it has the same target audience as Death Note

Kiddie entry level animu - Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball, Pokemon etc.

Teen entry level animu - Death Note, Code Geass, Attack on Titan etc.

If you're an idiot you stay there forever watching newest teen shows at 40 years old, if not you advance to Berserk, Evangelion, Bebop etc. then later to Monster, Ghost in the Shell, Legend of the Galactic Heroes etc.

I think this has more to do with what time you started watching anime than your age.

>mfw there are people who believe Berserk or Ghost in the Shell is for a more mature audience than Dragon Ball or Naruto

Which Ghost In The Shell do I start with?

>>36429749
None. They're all shit. Stick with anime that are actually good. They're popular for a reason.

>both gained magic voodoo shit because they were bored (light gazed out the window in class and saw the notebook while lelouch gambled because he was bored)
>both used it to change the world
>both are willing to kill to achieve their objectives
>both are in high school
>both have a supernatural friendo who follows them around who is the source of their power
>both killed their dads

BUT

>light is a psychopath who convinced himself he isnt
>lelouch is a pretty empathetic guy who convinced himself he is a psychopath

>light liked his dad
>lelouch hated his dad

>light didnt kill his sister
>lelouch killed his sister (well one of them)

>light started out "playing white" (in chess, white is the "active" side) but switched to black towards the end
>lelouch started out "playing black" (black is the "reactive" side) but switched to white towards the end

>light was a perfectionist
>lelouch was most certainly not a perfectionist

>light wanted to live
>lelouch wanted to die

>light's goal was selfless (ignoring the god complex at least)
>lelouch's goal was selfish (fuck literally everybody but my sister)

>light was a normal guy
>lelouch was an exiled prince of the country that subjugated the country he currently lives in

i can go on but they are very different in aspects but similar enough to be comparable as characters

Ignoring the second sentence, they first aired out around the same time and featured similar protagonists (bored teen genius acquires an arguably evil power and uses it to take over the world/change the world for the better using arguably evil methods). It helped they came out at a time when many were teens themselves and series with anti-heroic protagonists better resonated with them than the more moral and idealistic heroes they were used to. Pic related is another example.

Of course the series themselves are completely different.

Oh, I'm sorry. Naruto is better than Berserk. How 'bout that?
