| According to Record China, Liuzhou Lan Hai technologies Ltd. admitted that they have plagiarized part of Shinkai Makoto's anime movie "5 Centimeters per Second" for their new anime "心霊之窓 (Window of the heart)". The spokesperson claimed they failed to find out their subcontractor's misappropriation. Source: Record China "Window of the heart" has been aired in China since this August and its close resemblance to 5cm Per Second provoked international criticism. Comparison between "Window of the heart" and "5cm Per Second" |

| Close resemblance doesn't even begin to describe that bastardisation of an 'anime' they shat out of their creative behinds. I guess even they cannot defend themselves when the evidence is as clear as day. |
 |
| Wow... looks so alike! |
| 中国のオリジナルアニメ More like: 中国の"オリジナル"アニメ |
| LOL china u srs? It would be more of a surprise at this point if they did something original. |
 |
| Hi in new here and i dint kwno china made anime xD i thougt only japan did :O i was gonna watch that movie but now it has let me down... no point on seeing a plagiarized movie... by the way what other countries make anime ( good and original anime not bs) :O |
  |
| What the fuck, no. |
| I can't bring myself to read the whole article with the pictures. This doesn't happen often but I have never been more ashamed to be Chinese... dtshyk said: Could you someone help me to translate 藍海科技 and 心霊之窓 in alphabet? 藍海科技 = Lan2 hai3 ke1 ji4 (Lanhaikeji I guess) |
dtshyk said: Could you someone help me to translate 藍海科技 and 心霊之窓 in alphabet? Lan Hai technologies (or Blue Ocean depending on whatever you wanna do) and "Window of the heart" |
| right that too |
| Thanks, kevo and infinite_zero! |
| I've been reading about this all over the place. China's animation industry works like airliner maintenance: people are severely underpaid and overworked but fear losing their jobs, so they just get it done, quality be damned. |
| wow this is funny.... even high school kids know not to do this since the advent of Google! i can imagine a scene or two but they basically took the whole thing. |
| you should've seen one of their hit movie... roughly translate as "stay in contact" it's the exact copy of Hollywood movie Cellular. broken phone, check random phone call using wires, check innocent guy caught in all this, check finally believe the victim, check go to school to save victim's child, check fail to save, check drive other car, check cellphone ran out of battery and rob a cellphone store for a charger/battery with a gun, check check check check... |

| LMAO... I was looking at the images. I gotta say, that's pretty funny. |
| reminds me of the whole Jungle Emperor/Lion King fiasco, but even more obvious. |
 I am a banana. |
| Speaking of Jungle Emperor, less than 8 hrs till the new series airs :D |
| lol at least try not to make it so obvious xp |

Well, what do you expect in a totalitarian free-market society. The government will immediately take the side of the company if there is any attempt at change in the workplace. It was just like the US during the Industrial Revolution, except the government lacks the ability to change (compared to the US). So its going to be like that for a long time. Also, since its founded as a communist nation, there are no copy-right laws so it is legal there. Hell, the entire world is fucked because of that rule and anything digital could pass through China and (you get the picture). By the way, the Chinese government is worse then Scientology. Suppressing and brainwashing the people, imposing the Han culture on the minorities (aka Tibet and the Muslims in western China), monitoring religions, no-copy right laws (though the US's does need to be revamped), no rights, the environment, how much they care about their image while everyone knows how much shit goes on (probably the most disgusting part), god I could go on and on. |
| "In the Beginning, the creative energy radiates from within." - No, no. That's Lame. Sounds like something out of a Jodorowsky comic. The Tokusyu Manga Club - Features alternative comics/avant-garde comics/outsider comics/psychdelic comics/surrealistic comics/underground comics + La Nouvelle Manga (part of Alternative). If I'm here, its because I have nothing better to do. |
| From the company that brought you the Vii... |

| They completely fucked up the art lol |
 |
| That's ridiculously plagiarized, and it doesn't even look as good as Shinkai's beautiful artwork. Does anyone actually know the plot? |
 |
| Objection! I demand justice! |
| Wow! That is totally similar... you just can't hide it! tho' manga plagiarized is common, this is the first time I heard about anime in this situation.. D8 |
| 心の闇は、もう消えない |
| I saw the pictures and they basically just redesigned the art. Totally took it from the original really. And they have no exscuses such as "well there are no more original stories left to do" either. |
| another thing that is "MADE IN CHINA" they can copy anime too.. i'm just amazed.. |
     |
| oh wow. |
 |
| Anime industry in China is not going to get any better soon... On the other hand, the manga industry is progressing and promising authors are surfacing....

First, I find it tiresome that people who probably never went to China or lived there talk about the country as if they knew everything. What you said is mostly correct, if you look at it from a perspective. However, I would say that these issues are more in the gray zone and not purely black or white. Shit goes on in every country. I don't believe China is actually worse...It could be A LOT worse (believe me, if the Cultural Revolution didn't end...) than the current situation and you have to be thankful that it isn't...As for copyright laws, well, they exists, but are severely flawed... The major concerns of the country is corruption and moral level of some portion of the population (I say portion, because you CANNOT generalize any stereotypes) Again, China is being demonized by other countries. Yes, things are not pretty and it's bad, but it's not THAT bad. |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Urgh, I'm Chinese and I'm ashamed to see that. Downright disgusting, and so darn obvious. |

| Wow.... Who knew that you could plagiarize so muchf rom a movie xD |
Music is from the soul~ ♥ |
| plagiarism is spreading like a God damn plague these days.. |

They're not going to truly progress until they rid the likes of these people from their ranks. Even the Japanese industry has killed the career of people accused of copying/tracing (Nitta Youka being a recent one). The industry needs to protect its credibility as a whole. |

| ohh they admit it at last :/ |
| Tsk tsk Shame... |
