Torchwood took a few things from Darker Than Black.


Torchwood aired before Darker than Black....

Isn't it a series about time travel :P?


Torchwood? No. It's about aliens and shit.

Priest borrowed from manhwa Priest, I think.

The Last Samurai borrowed from Bleach because they both have swords.

It was a big mistake to think that you're the only one who can turn into a car. I'm a car now too!

GITS--> Matrix. Creators themselves have said it.
Paprika---> Inception. Not sure is Chris Nolan has said anything about it, but there's really no doubt.
Perfect blue--> Requiem for a dream, Black swan. Reason in page 1.

Don't know any others.

I believe Kill Bill was influenced by Lady Snowblood.

Isn't it the other way round?

The Hunger Games <- Battle Royale.
A totalitarian state forcing young people to kill each other in a secluded area for TV entertainment and prevent rebellions?
They're stating they've never heard about Battle Royale before. It's pure coincidence that they're created almost the exact setting again and out of nowhere. Yeah...

Lady Snowblood's 30 years older than Kill Bill so no. Kill Bill is so unsubtle about the influence that is even uses two songs from Snowblood.

Firefly hrrmm maybe cowboy bebop


I highly doubt this, Yes Bebop has been out since 1998 but it didn't get any kind of notice in the US until 2001 when it premired on adult swim and Firefly came out in 2002.
You are assuming that he sat around waiting for ideas to show up in his face.

I believe that was sarcasm. They're saying that, that is pretty much what this thread is full of.....Sort of. A lot of good answers in this thread, and a lot of right ones......On the other hand however there are a lot more people who are just answering with baseless assumptions.

The Matrix took ideas from various anime titles including Megazone 23 and Jojo bizarre but the directors are trying to deny it, claiming they only took stuff from GITS.
