| Similar settings, etc. =/= a rip off. |
 |
| Everything uses past works in some way. Some more, some less. Saying "rip off" is a bit too much imo, considering anything that goes too far is bound to get hit with plagiarism laws. |
| Have to chime in with the notion of plagiarism w.r.t. rip-off. If we are being really honest here, nearly every anime can be considered a rip-off of something else. |

| It's not a rip off it's called inspiration. reee |
| There's a difference between inspiration and straight ripping something off. I haven't really seen any rip offs tbh. |
 |
| SAO + isekai too many trash isekai anime and manga just ripping off SAO and circlejerking each other while the self insert neet audience throws money at them. |
| In the interest of not letting this be yet another "waah x and y are similar but don't ask me why" thread, I implore anyone who cares about such things to compare Kanon & Clannad. Some elements between the two are definitely similar enough to be called "ripped off". I've heard the same sort of thing about Air but I haven't read/watched it so I can't verify anything there, though I would be interested in hearing from those who have. |

| most anime are inspired from some predecessor |
 |
| ashita no joe ripped off megalo box, right down to the grainy visuals. It's pretty sad |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Duel Masters rips off Yugioh which the anime for it was really bad. |

All three are made by Key so no surprise as to why they are similar. |

| I wouldn't say straight up rip-off, but Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress had a TON of similarities with Attack on Titan, but I'm pretty positive everyone knows that already. I mean don't get me wrong, I still liked it, but it didn't go out of its way to be creative. |

| Darling in the Franxx hands down. Rip off of Gurren Lagann, Eva, and many more. Also that lame Summer Wars is a 100% rip-off of Digimon Our War Game, yet Summer Wars got all the credit in the end and people thought Summer War is the canon, like what the actual fuck? People are dumb. |

People are dumb. If you dont know. Both movies are Mamoru Hosoda films. Just like Hiro Mashima keep recycling his Characters (Rave, Fairy Tail, Edens Zero). Maybe Hosoda-sensei wanna improve his concept. |
| Just because some animes use the same structure and the original writter is too pathetic to make something genuinely good and/or original doesnt mean that something is a rip off. For example look at all the isekais out there. I swear that if Slimesinmunetoeverything isekai doesnt turn into a trashy harem power fantasy (we already have the power fantasy so its not too far fetched) by the end of its airing time, i'll eat the frogs that live on my backyard. Now i do believe that rip offs of popular and profitable shows do exist (popular and profitable key words). When characters are almost indistinguishable to each other because the writter is garbage then it could be considered a rip off or lazy writing (or a shitty anime adaptation. God Japan loves turning all male characters into whinny dense crybabies). With all that being said there is also the 20 universal plot or whatever the frek they are called that say that no fictional work is original and everything is an absolute rip off or something like that i dunno. Like its been said the idea of "rip off" varies from one people to another too. Anyways Darling and Konosuba are rip offs you cant change my mind. |

Darling in the Franxx director is one of the staff from Eva either, it's still a rip off of Eva. I'm actually mad about people thought Summer War is the cannon/ original show and trash on the Digimon movie, and some people even claim Digimon is the ripoff cuz they watched the Summer War first lolz. Or those blind people who defend that it's not a ripoff, it's completely original , yadayada. |
| heh, Bunny Girl is a fine example of this. It ripped Monogatari off but without anything that made it captivating in the first place, trying to brush its lack of inventiveness off by adding a bunch of wikipedia science. It's mildly fun, but it's just another seasonal fodder that will be forgotten in a few months. And yeah, you could call it inspiration, actually I'd always thought it wouldn't be long until the Monogatari formula was coppied, but there's nothing really in Bunny Girl that distinguishes it from its source. It's like a bland rehash of it. |

 I found one! A true rip off, what a disgrace. |

| Every anime created is a LOGH ripoff. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |
ProfessionalNEET said: Anime is a rip off of Western cartoons. Westerners invented cartoons, then the Japanese copy-catted them. ^ This Bojack Horseman and Rick & Morty is the peak of animation god-tier storytelling. Also Babylon 5 tv series and Mass Effect video game > LOTGH |
| Anime sucks, all of them are bad and that's a fact! |
| Welp for me Berserk is just a goblin slayer rip off |
CyberKnighttt said: This is next level stupidity. Not only are you accusing an anime of being overrated but also that it is a rip off without even caring to watch. Just amazing He's still right though lol And here's with the 30 characters |

Huntik said: CyberKnighttt said: How can you say that without even watching the anime? You do understand what "rip-off" means right? To be honest as the series progress you can see how much of a difference there is. I just don't understand how you guys can just blatantly call it a rip off without watching or even giving a thought to the anime. Just my opinion. never judge a book by its cover. I've seen enough of that Garbage, to say is a rip-off of Monegatari/Oregairu. Dropped already. Here's another specimen of trash that thinks Popular = Garbage |

Heck, it even ripped off Mr. Yoshinori Kanada's animation. Evangelion is rip off Ultraman, Devilman, Mazinger Z, Ideon, Gerry Anderson's Shows and Childhood's End book. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| X + Y = Z isn't a ripoff ffs I hope this adds to 30 character count |

But none of them copy / reuse idea as much as Summer Wars. Basically Summer War is just an reimagining of Our War Game w/o the existent of digimons. Villain/ combat/ setting/ problems/ final battle which everyone gather power/ Missile gonna destroy town/ ending are near identical. Not only that, the plot sequence is near identical too. Even protagonist is like ripoff of Koshirou. It's almost like that Eva reboot movies, except this time they change the name and claim it as an independent entity. Might as well just call it Our War Game 2.0 (with no Digimon). |
