Why do people always talk about it as an NGE ripoff? There are some inspiration but it's a pretty good series that stands on its own and avoids many annoying tropes of the genre

>tropes
Frick off tourist.
Is there someone who thinks "trope" as word was invented by tvtropes and made a bot to shitpost any thread that uses it?
CIA and HR sectors, not TVTropes.
>why doe people call X an eva ripoff
There's no reasoning with eva cultists.
because most of the people saying "X show is an Eva clone" did not watch the show in question.
The closest to an EVA clone is Rahxephon and it's still pretty damn different on many things.
I've never seen it called an Eva clone, and I don't really get why it would be.
Renton isn't as disconnected as Shinji, he's a fish out of water, but that's really just because Holland is constantly beating the shit out of him and trying to alienate him. He has friends, but pretty much everyone on the Gekko is older than him besides his fricked up alien GF.
I mean compared to Shinji, Renton is a regular social butterfly.
the show of a generation
As a cinephile, it is fascinating to observe how Eureka Seven AO has managed to deconstruct the mecha genre in a superior way to Neon Genesis Evangelion. While both shows are recognized for their attempts to explore the darker aspects of the mecha genre, Eureka Seven AO stands out with its unique approach.
One of the aspects that make Eureka Seven AO exceptional is its ability to delve deeper into the social and political implications of mecha warfare. The show portrays a world where mecha technology has become ubiquitous, resulting in a power struggle among various factions that seek to control it. This political backdrop adds depth and complexity to the story, making it more than just a straightforward tale of good versus evil. In contrast, Evangelion focuses primarily on the psychological trauma of its characters, without considering the broader societal implications.
Another factor that sets Eureka Seven AO apart is its portrayal of the protagonist, Ao Fukai. Unlike typical mecha pilots, Ao is initially uncertain and inexperienced, struggling to cope with the harsh realities of war. His character arc is fascinating, as he grows and matures throughout the series, making him more relatable and likable than Evangelion's Shinji Ikari, who is often criticized for being whiny and unappealing.
Moreover, Eureka Seven AO subverts many of the traditional mecha tropes, giving it a unique visual style and storytelling approach. The unconventional mecha designs and combat scenes challenge the viewer's expectations, while the exploration of themes of identity and self-discovery sets the show apart from other mecha anime. (1/2)
Finally, Eureka Seven AO's ending is satisfying and conclusive, providing closure for the characters and the story. In contrast, Evangelion's finale is often criticized for being confusing and unsatisfying, leaving many questions unanswered.
Overall, as a cinephile, it is intriguing to see how Eureka Seven AO manages to deconstruct the mecha genre in a superior way to Neon Genesis Evangelion. Its exploration of the social and political implications of mecha warfare, its compelling protagonist, its innovative subversion of traditional mecha tropes, and its satisfying ending all contribute to making it a standout entry in the genre.(2/2)
Please don't AI post. At least not on /m/.

You're massive homosexual, dude. Humongous even.
It actually has a lot more in common with Brain Powerd, but few people have seen both to make the comparisons.
I never saw eureka seven but greatly loves Brain Powerd, now you're just selling it to me anon.
Gundam Wing and Eureka Seven were what got me into mecha and E7 did most of the work.
Wait is Power Rangers considered mecha? I suppose we have a general. That definitely did the lion's share, rip my green guy
if I like it inspiration, if i don't like it ripoff.
I still need to sit down and watch it fully, but there's a lot of characters with similar roles. Eureka is Rei, Anemone is Asuka, Talho is Misato. Renton is a take on Garrod from Gundam X, so it's not like the show is only drawing from one well, but people are lazy.
Nah, it's way more like a recontextualized 0079/Zeta, with Eureka and Anemone effectively being two different flavours of Newtype Girl, one rehabilitative and one not. Hell, even got the Three Dumb Kids.
And then stuff like the Beams couple being a more fleshed out, [literally] mercenary Ramba Ral arc
The only people who would call it an "NGE ripoff" haven't watched any other goddamn mecha anime in their lives.
I don't know how after writing a solid anime the first time that the write managed to frick up every other entry in this series and manages to reach a new rock bottom every time. It's like he does it on purpose to frick with the fans.
Different writers.
when will /m/ realize that nips don't have the same stigma around "copying" as we do in the west?
the idea of re-playing the same story/character archetypes (in altered setting and combination) goes back to their ancient theater practice
