Magical Girl fans often have hear Precure be called a Sailor Moon ripoff the most. Also for Mecha, anything that is a combiner or transforming type mecha will be accused of being a Powerangers/Voltron/Transformers ripoff.

** Swedish fans of ''Hello! Sandybell'' tend to also be fans of other anime titles released in Sweden during the 80s since they were all dubbed by the same company, most notably ''Anime/{{Starzinger}}'' (which uses the exact same voice cast as ''Hello! Sandybell'') and ''Anime/GingaNagareboshiGin''. These three titles are sometimes cited as a trifecta of sorts among older Swedish anime fans, not dissimilar to how 00s' shounen fans had "[[Manga/OnePiece The]] [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Big]] [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Three]]".
** After the Revolution in UsefulNotes/{{Romania}}, anime started airing in the country, and there were three major ones that were a GatewaySeries for young Romanian viewers: ''Anime/DragonBallZ, Anime/SailorMoon'' and ''Hello! Sandybell''.

*''Anime/{{Astroganger}}'':
** For [[BileFascination obvious reasons]], modern fans of ''Astroganger'' are also fans of ''Anime/ChargemanKen''. Though, it is universally agreed that ''Astroganger'' has a much higher production value, and much better writing. This is mainly because the staff at Creator/KnackProductions were going through some serious CreatorsApathy (one of the few surviving members has even admitted that the staff used to finish episodes quickly because they wanted to go the beach later) when making the latter anime.
** In Lebanon, fans of ''Astroganger'' are [[https://ksa-news.com/En/?p=27076 also]] fans of ''Anime/{{Grendizer}}''.

** The two mangas have also been sharing fans for being highly regarded fantasy mangas in a time wherewhere a lot of the genre has been taken over by {{Isekai}}. In that sense, as well as the fact that they're all written by women, ''Manga/WitchHatAtelier'' and ''Manga/{{Dorohedoro}}'' have also been entering this shared fanbase.

** Mecha and Digimon have undergone a similar development from perceived kid friendly stories to more apocalyptic horror series/HumansAreBastards//hotblooded HumansAreSpecial. Even some of the none-Xros Wars examples have themes and feel that you'd see in mecha. The deconstrucitve Tamers is often compared to Evangelion due the darker, apocalyptic tone and more meek Takato compared to his predecessors/succesors, were as Savers is often regarded as being more akin to Getter Robo/G Gundam/Gurren Lagann due to the overtly macho, fight happy, punch first and asks questions later Masaru who believe in the human spirits potential. it helps that Masaru physically fights much like the aformentioned examples, to the point in the dub he even says he'll make the impossible possible.

*** And finally, both having to deal with non mecha/magical girl fans misconceptions about the genres and having to constantly have the breakouts of their genre among a wider audience (Code Geass, Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, 86) for mecha and Madoka for Magical girls being praised as unique and totally different to what has come before, not knowing that the a lot of the elements those series are praised for were previously done by past entries.

* Mecha/Toku/Super Sentai fans seem to have a strong liking for Digimon compared to Pokemon. This may be due to a few reasons.
** A lot of Digimon, especially in the later stages begin to take on heavily armored/mecha like appearances, to the point that some become borderline/completely mechanical. Examples for Sentai are Wargreymon, Gallantmon, Flamedramon, Magnamon, the Biomerge forms of Tamers etc (Especially Justimon) and lastly the entire season of the entire cast of Frontier which is the Sentai Digimon.
** For Mecha examples, MetalGarurumon, Imperialdramon, Omegamon, Alphamon, The Biomerge forms in Tamers (Since the Digidestined control them the mons from the inside) especially SaintGalgomon, ShineGreymon and MirageGaoGamon and most blatantly, Digimon Xros Wars which is basically a Super Robot in disguise. It doesn't help Xros Wars had a DS game called Super Xros Wars, almost a blatant reference to Super Robot Wars. Which makes this a HilariousInHindsight due to the release of Super Robot Wars X-Omega on smartphones.
** Digimon often has a similar save the world from a great threat/conspiracy going on behind the scenes, something Sentai/Toku/Mecha has in common compared Pokemon which is more of formulaic sport than a plot heavy story.
** In later seasons, there's themes of conflict/war and distrust among the Mons and humans, with attempts to find peace/common ground a big part, something mecha deals with a lot.

Widget Series has been renamed to Quirky Work as per TRS (it's also YMMV).


* Creator/StudioGhibli fans tend to be "Studio Ghibli fans" rather than fans of individual movies. Fanartists and cosplayers enjoy crossing over as many Ghibli characters as possible. Also, hardcore [[Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon Disney]] fans who tend to balk at the "[[WidgetSeries weirdess]]" of anime, in general, tend to make an exception to Studio Ghibli due to their beautiful animation and general G-rating (don't tell them about ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies'').
