Thread: Blatant bleach ripoff?

ripoff or resemblance?

found this today^

Looks like a cross between Bleach and Hellsing.

That's fucking ridiculous. You'd think the manga publishers would notice a thing like that. Especially since Bleach and Hellsing are not Japan exclusive. Half the pics look like they are reversed and put under tracing paper. This guy probably has no real drawing talent.

I saw this just now on wwtdd. It made me laugh...

There are some glaring similarities between the two, unfortunately that is starting to be the way to make easy money just copy and pass it on as your own. It happens in the car industry, toys, you name it how many times have you gone to a grocery store you see the namebrand then the store brand in a very similar packaging sometimes. The silver lining is that eventually his talent or lack of talent will come out when there is no more Bleach to copy.

Yea it is a rip off....LOL...probably a fan of bleach....He lucky Kubo Tite can't sue him unless he goes to intl courts.

He can still get sued for copyright infringement.

I'll forgive the guy if he writes a better story than Bleach.

After looking at some samples; and they are just samples, the storyline looks like shit.

edit: Mangakas sometimes do homages to characters that they grew up with. That's looked at as a great compliment. However it's almost always done in just an artistry form and not part of the storyline.
an example would be this http://images.saiyanisland.com/data/...ter_Inside.jpg
That's considered a compliment to the creator of DBZ. What this guy is doing is ripping off Kubo's art to attract to fans. Especially since most of the comparisons are practically done under tracing paper.

^ the biggest problem is that he shamelessly states that his characters are all original.
if he admitted where the original art came from, and that he traced, all of this would've gone away.
