| I'm not talking about just simply picking a little thing here and there from another anime/entertainment, reshaping it and making it their own, most anime lack originality in that regard. I would put Bunny Girl Senpai under here myself, though I think others would be a lot more harsh with their opinion. You see Monogatari mentioned all the time in relation to Bunny Girl Senpai. An example would be the Pokemon Movie 23, the Tarzan bootleg version. |
| black swan and perfect blue (black swan the copy) copied the entire concept of stress from being the best, the overlapping personality that represents the alter ego, and the hallucinations paprika and inception, (inception the copy) but inception was 1000% better yeah those two are the more known and obvious ones edit: just realized I answered this question the complete other way around |

| Hmm, I can't think of any straight out blatant copy like you say. Even the Pokémon movie you mentioned, stories about feral children aren't exactly uncommon, and they do tend to trace similarities to stories rooted into popular culture like Tarzan and Mogli. It's not so different from shounen anime who share many tropes and similarities across the board. About Bunny Girl, what drew me in at first to it was the Monogatari formula, I would say it's a blatant copy but I really wouldn't mind if more anime copied Monogatari this way (I ended up not enjoying Bunny Girl very much, but that's another story). Funny thing about that story is that, not only it was proven wrong (the script to Inception already existed years before Paprika released, it just took Nolan a long time to convince the studio to make the movie), but you can trace the Inception concept back to a 2002 Don Rosa Scrooge McDuck story called The Dream of a Lifetime (which looks even more similar to Inception than Paprika), which in turn was influenced by a French fan's letter, and coincidentally that same year a french movie called The Cell with a very similar concept was released. Tracing the origin of the idea is like a whole new inception meme by itself. |

| An anime by Studio Pierrot, with characters designed by Akemi Takada. A girl meets a pair of animal mascots, and uses magic to transform into an older girl. She becomes a pop idol. Is this Creamy Mami or Fancy Lala? Mamoru Hosoda ripped off his own movie about kids who fight monsters inside the internet. The similarities between Gosick and Dantalian are just embarrassing. |

| Fairy Tail has copied a lot of things from One Piece. Not even in any sneaky way but in the most obvious ways |

Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| ~paprika and inception, (inception the copy) but inception was 1000% better~ |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is a pretty obvious attempt to capitalise on AoT’s success. |
 |
| Can't think of anything at the top of my head except Squid Game having very similar parallells to Kaiji. Although, Squid Game is not an anime, obviously. |

I'm fully aware that eva isn't original, I'm saying that rahxephon is "can I copy your homework?" but I've barely started rahxephon. I don't see humanity fighting against spock's race in space for a single mecha that wiped out all life in the galaxy, in evangelion. it did, yes. I've also seen that one. eva spawned a bunch of clones and parodies, de:vadasy and bokura no are my favorites of the bunch probably. now I've seen a lot of hentai but this one I have never heard of. I'll go check it, thanks! |

petran79 said: Akira animators worked before in the movie Genma Taisen and some animated similarities with espers are obvious. Unfortunately movie went under the radar because they thought it as an Akira ripoff, whike it was the opposite. Ariel OVAs, based on a long running novel series, are criminally underrated and ignored by both anime and EVA fans. There you can see the connection with Evangelion in animated scenes and some plot, as Takeshi Honda worked on those projects too. Also lets not ignore mecha manga Zeorymer that deconstructed the mecha genre in the 80s, before Evangelion. I've seen ariel visual and deluxe both. I liked the concept, the pilots were nice, the mecha was pleasant. but the execution was kinda bad, and very inconsistent. it's probably why only a few have seen it. I've only heard the name of zeorymer, I'll check the ovas. I'm not big on mecha but I keep watching them somehow. when I say rahxephon is like eva I mean: both shows start with the military being useless against a strange alien being, the mc sees an otherworldly girl, an older woman shows up to pick up the guy who is a pilot candidate. weirdo symbolism out of the ass. the mc's first words while looking at a painting were nerv's slogan. that's a lot more than "guy pilots a giant robot against big monsters" it's step by step the same events repeating. |

| DITF and Eva is the epitome of the "Can I copy your homework? Sure but change it up a bit" meme. Ofc DITF is the copy of Eva |

Anime was it's best 20000 years ago, when cavemen drew art with real depth. Modern anime is all garbage. I miss great old days of anime. |

I get the thing about same feel. But it doesn't mean blatantly copying. If this was true, half the shonens are HxH/Naruto clones. I won't argue with you on that logic but none of these shows are selling as shounen and this thread isn't about demographic. Sure shounen/isekai/school tropes are still being copied from anime to anime but I don't think copying one shows demographic means lack of originality. Psycho-pass is an anime original aired in 2012 and before 2019 there wasn't any manga called ID Invaded. Both of these shows are similar down to the bone and however you look at it ID Invaded feels like a ripoff compared to Psycho-pass. |

Id invaded takes more inspiration from inception (which was inspired by paparika) than psycho pass. Taking an inspiration is completely fine. Copying is what something like fairy tail did with one piece. What's next? Every fantasy is a LoTR ripoff? Every dark fantasy is a Berserk ripoff? Or every isekai is a Narnia ripoff? |

| I am just watching Koutetsujou no Kabaneri and I was really shocked how much similar to Attack on Titan it is. |
   sos, there's a goddess in disquise |
Fukamin said: It's also made by the same studio as well, so I think it's pretty obvious that WIT Studio was trying to benefit of AOTs success with this original. I am just watching Koutetsujou no Kabaneri and I was really shocked how much similar to Attack on Titan it is. |

So your telling me, by your logic any show can copy another show and sell it as inspiration...is that it? And by yor logic Fairy tail copied One Piece but how come your sure that it wasn't inspired from One Piece? |
