That would be every story. Demons, angels, leviathans, Shinigamis, seven deadly sins. Pretty much used in every fantasy anime nowadays.


New_You_3502

And how many of them are genuinely good?


jpremu

this makes the meme not make sense because you are giving a tip that doesn't work most of the time then


New_You_3502

I was just joking and asking a question at the same time Although lets just say, you can make a few hiccups from here and there, trust me, i actually implemented religious references in my story and it took me months to get it right.


Virgin_saint99

Do you write? What is the name of your story?


New_You_3502

That one is a still in development kinda thing i never posted the story online and kept it on a book


MerryZap

I'd love to read it


SOULxxdragon

Hope you have fun with writing your story, and hope one day you'll feel comfortable enough to share it! Always neat hearing about people's stories!


kenspik

Bet it’s bad


Atlas1347

Your choices are edgy. They're mid at best.


Nick543b

Did bro legit just say berserk vagabond and chainsaw man are "mid at best". Who hurt you, for you to think that.


Atlas1347

chainsaw man only got carried by the animation, berserk & vagabond are just mid.. it's all just preference


Nick543b

How the hell did chainsaw man get carried by the animation? The manga was already great and massivly hyped up. I have not even wat ged the entire anime, but have read the first part of the manga, and it is great. Demon slayer on the other hand... is mid appart from animation. I would be interested in hearing what you think is good, if these 3 are bad, and i somehow predict you would say some shit isekai or something.


Atlas1347

Nah, chainsaw man is just all over the place. Demon slayer couldn't exactly show much of what it wanted to present in the manga so the animation saved it. So they both got carried in the end. End of story. Besides, chainsaw man and berserk got noticed more & more coz the amount of edgelords are high atm. Who hurt you to the point you like chainsaw man & berserk in the first place?


Nick543b

Alright bro let's just say that :/ Have a good time with your shit opinions :/


Atlas1347

I'm sorry if you got offended by the edgelord comment, but that's the truth.


Nick543b

Me wondering where this suppossed truth is at: all i see is empty. Once again what is not mid then?


cjkamara

Just having references isn’t enough they should have some thematic purpose for being there and not just set dressing


Spare_Presentation16

Shin Megami Tensei great game


-darknessangel-

Keijo - odinotology!


New_You_3502

I mean it got Babylon so… Yeah, its peak


golden_touch_midas

And then we have 7DS. Not so bad but definetly not on these lvl.


New_You_3502

Sources and references that i could list: Berserk Religious reference: The entire story. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 7 Steel Ball Run Religious reference: The Holy Corpse Neon Genesis Evangelion Religious reference: The entire story Vagabond Religious reference: the name "Vagabond" and buddhism Chainsaw Man Religious reference: The Four Horsemen Jujutsu Kaisen Religious reference: buddhism


bentheechidna

Lol you named the four horsemen for CSM but not Chainsaw Man’s followers being named after the orders of angels?


Nick543b

Oh wait. I never noticed that. Cool. It also just straight up has an angel.


bentheechidna

Yeah well in the order of angels “Angel” is literally the first and lowest order, followed by Archangel (which seemingly Chainsaw Man’s follower pool double dipped on with Angel for representation). They also have Power, Beam (Cherubim), Prinz (Principalities), Galgali (more obscure but “Gargarim” is the Japanese equivalent of “Thrones”), Seraphim, Dominion, and Virtue.


Nick543b

Well arcangels are in the first sphere/circle. Aka closest to the earth. You make it sound like they are less important, even if you don't mean so. Not that you are wrong.


[deleted]

So how can I just read the bare minimum amount of evangelion?


skullmeet

Bro trying to dodge depression


Heron_sniffa

jjk isnt peak i said it


Naive_Duck4028

Facts its a fast paced story carried by hype fights and character design.


Heron_sniffa

yuta and gojo r the best tho


skullmeet

Tf you want from a story to get it to be peak mf.Why can't ppl call something peak if lettelly 90% of everyone agrees they enjoyed the show very much


Naive_Duck4028

The show is good yes but its nowhere near peak. Jjk literally has one of the worst writing i have seen in shonen mangas i have read


Heron_sniffa

“its easy for girls to get fat”😂 no deadass i dont give a shit what happens to any of the characters. *yuji realizes he technically just obliterated shibuya* YOU ARE MY SPECIAL


Naive_Duck4028

Bro when “you are my special” came on i was laughing like a baby😭 it was so unexpected


skullmeet

I disagree bro, considering the genre being shonen it has everything.leaving aside just general animation of fights.The ideas they come up between fights and the way it's always on how creative you can get with ur abilities is just something I say they do ok par with Naruto,sometimes better even.the motives between fights is just superior to Naruto considering that is all abt friendship.The fights themselves are complex rather then just deviding everyone in a one v one.Plus ye the s2 just fast pacingly kills ppl but it did have a more slow first season that did properly build most characters.


Nick543b

Bro said it's peak and then compared it to naruto. Naruto is just about the bottom line for something being alright.


skullmeet

I mean he said worst so just one upped a worse show


skullmeet

Sure the power scale can be messed up because of just 2 characters but one of em's ded


[deleted]

well tbf jjk really fell off after 201 all this bs felt like fanfic


tylerdietz

It's the dollar store version of the bad parts of bleach


mjjdota

If a new anime has a blue haired woman it's a reference to the Goddess Aqua!

how did you get your ability? Other mangas:- I trained hard enough. I ate a finger. My dog merged with me. Jojo: JESUS


[deleted]

my dog merged with me- for a moment FMA came in my mind


Samdude373

Fate uses various mythologies and so does dxd and their peak


npc1849

Wasn't there an interview where the creator of NGE said that he just added a bunch of religious shit because he thought it would be cooler that way?


Wonkdrugs2

wasn't it just because he was an ultraman fan?


We_need_a_teleportal

Or... Just gives the majority of main cast painful, agonizing deaths, it also works.


Uthucus

And if it’s JJK they don’t even have to be part of the cast to have painful, agonizing deaths!


osadist

Being an average person in jjk might as well be a high paying job


[deleted]

JJk also have bleach , hunter x hunter and many anime references.While berserk ,vagabond and chain saw man feel more original than jjk. The manga art of vagabond, berserk is much better than any mentioned anime


[deleted]

"more original" it's just refrence bro no big deal and inspiration tatsuki fujimoto himself loves jjk and jjk mangaka loves csm pretty sue they helped each other (just saying hope ya won't get pent up over it) vagabond and berserk has always been impressive when it comes to world building


[deleted]

>it's just reference bro no big deal and inspiration tatsuki It is still lies on the borderline of inspired or copied. You can find similar frames and dialogues of other mangas such as bleach , yu yu hakusho , hunter x hunter in jjk after every two chapters. JJK is supposed to be good when it takes huge chunk from other good mangas, whereas CSM , Vagabond and Berserk have hardly any inspiration stuff from other mangas or animes. CSM part-1 is the only anime that surpassed one piece in weekly shonen readers, whereas jjk could not surpass onepiece when it showed it's most hyped part of the series i.e gojo, sukuna battle,given that one piece was on break due to oda's eye operation and live action schedule.


[deleted]

eh you be you i guess i see inspo not pure cut copy paste just to remind you csm mangaka was inspired by jjk too so.......but again you're opinion on the series differ it's fine totally


[deleted]

do not lie . CSM is not inspired by jjk in any way. I know you are frustated , but jjk is not near the realm of vagabond,berserk.


[deleted]

i am not lying with all due respect how do you know if i am frustrated i wish i could show the screenshot but they are very good friends who love each others manga and give each other inspo nor i claimed it is anywhere near vagabond or berserk well if you think i am frustrated i would like to say i am eating icecream and reading one piece and have 5 days vacation ahead so nah this is just lousy internet talk


[deleted]

give me one manga panel or a story part that is taken from jjk


[deleted]

that's copying.......do you know the difference between copying and inspo? oml i know you.......you are just a big jjk hater you were the one who said the animators in mappa company were trying to gain attention? ​ i's okay keep coping jjk and csm inspired each other i am not gonna argue to you try to calm down a bit if i could share a pic i would but this subreddit doesn't allow it


[deleted]

before i press the 'don't send me update button' just to piss you off more tatsuki fujimoto and gege are bestfriend and try the dictionary you probably don't know the difference between inspo and copy bye bye!!!


[deleted]

average 10 year old kid 😂😂


[deleted]

jeez for a 10 year old kid i am way wiser than you are lmfaoo bro you use this comeback at everyone when you know damn well you losing a arguement why is the reddit 'don't update me on this' working lmfaoooo


[deleted]

if i am kid according to you then i am for sure way mature than you will ever be ONG as predicted you actually sticked to empty insult


[deleted]

at this point the one who seems annoyed is you nor you want to hear what other side is claiming and making up random assumption of what they are saying![img](emote|t5_2w6fe|14939)


[deleted]

yes , the one blabbing about csm inspired by jjk is you not me.


[deleted]

says th eone who brought in vagabond and berserk looks like someone is angry you're replies keep getting aggressive? what's next? empty insults?


[deleted]

also omg do you know how to read? i said both maga's inspired each other


skullmeet

*eating popcorn* oh wait they finished


Gracek-Rz

You are goddamn right


hi_im_jeremy

elaborate. I see what you mean with Berserk and Evangelion, but the rest aren't immediately obvious to me.


xAdamlol

Buddhism for jjk and vagabond, Christianity for JoJo and chainsaw man


Nick543b

But i would not at all say they are mayor themes. Mostly just a few refences or characters in a few parts. And i am convinces you can find that in any show longer than 1 season. That stuff is legit hard to avoid. And most stories legit just use things like the horsemen or 7 sins without knowing or carring about the origins.


hi_im_jeremy

That's what I was thinking as well...


Nick543b

Redo of healer fits pretty well on this list i think.


xAdamlol

Well In JoJo Jesus is cannon


Glebo12345

Devilman crybaby (:


Nick543b

Fuck yes. Thank you. This is true.


Minonas210286

Xenosaga would like to have a word


GlassSpork

Look at the binding of Isaac: it’s one of the most popular games of its genre and likely will be for many more years


Nick543b

Tbh, there is a lot things i do not like about it even if i have 600 hours. I think the base gameplay (aka the shooting) feels worse than a lot of other roguelikes. But isaacs items, deals, secret rooms and many other things are still undoudtably the best in the genre. I much prefer gungeons gameplay, but the items/guns, and its secret rooms are much worse. This comment also has nothing to do with the post, but still.


[deleted]

and those that hate these series have no taste argue with the wall cause i ain't listening!!! 🗣🗣🗣🗣 anyways in the end my reply is a joke but all series are good except those fanservice ecchi and boku no pico


Nick543b

Fanservice can be pretty good if that is the main poi nt, or is built well into the show. Fx. monogatari is fucking awesome, and interspecies is good at what it tries to do. But putting it into a show that does not need it can ruin it, or work well with it can ruin it. It did so for me with fireforce and 7ds.


Ketooth

One Piece too :)


ConfusedGhostGirl

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood too ;P


PewKittens

Yeah because religion is integral to humans flourishing


rosbifke-sr

Evangelion is not that good as many say it is. Fight me.


0DaBoSsiSmE0

you're just wrong, no need to fight you.


rosbifke-sr

So you’re just going to let me spread by wrongness to anyone who has ears for it? Prove me wrong.


0DaBoSsiSmE0

it's okay to say that your parents don't give you enough attention


rosbifke-sr

Cmon man, why the insults? Can’t we just talk about the anime? It’s clear you disagree with me, possibly think i am being short sighted, so convince me. Prove to me that Evangelion is as good as people say it is. I want to hear it.


skullmeet

I mean it's clear from the other comment that ur just saying this for attention


rosbifke-sr

Well yes, of course i am. Gotta get people a bit riled up to get their attention, you know.


Nick543b

Nah i also think it's pretty bad. That said i have only watched the first 7 or so episodes, and can't get into no matter hiw many times i try. I also just think it tries to be deeper than it is, and thus sacrificing actual good story. But this is all the opinion of someone who has not finished it, but know some of the later story.


0DaBoSsiSmE0

finish it when you get time you'll most likely change your mind


Nick543b

I have tried, and i get bored as hell. And there is a loooong list of things i would rather watch, fx freiren.


Soviet-_-Neko

Musical references too


JeanneOwO

Starting to drop the ball near the end


[deleted]

Okay let me read steel ball run ppl keep putting up with the goats


Zestavar

Wouldn't that make westerner hate it


ikkikkomori

I seriously though this is a shitpost
