Is Bleach being plagiarized?
 

bleachness: Gene Simmons' son Plagiarizing Bleach?

You can be the judge at the link above...but it looks like the American publisher is investigating.

Clumsily, ham-handedly, and by a person who has had everything handed to him with no effort solely because of his father's millions. From what I've read, this was caught and called out amazingly fast.

Wow, You'd think he'd at least try to make it less obvious

he so plagiarized!! :O

I don't think plagiarism is jailable offense, but it does seem pretty clear that something is afoot.

I have never read Bleach, but do know there are dozens of volumes, so that's a lot of potential coincidences...but several of these look like practical traces from Bleach.

I am just wondering, why not choose a less popular manga to copy from?

but why hijaack Bleach? isn't millions of people read it? sounds unlogic, considering he is a mature artist, living in a creative consiousness circumstance and own anything.

Hmm how lame is this, what an idiot.

Some look plagarized, some look like a far stretch, and some are just anime cliche's that you can find just about anywhere.

I think it's plagarized for the most part. If the pics aren't obvious to it, then try to count how many anime/manga draw the top line for the upper lip as much as Bleach does. This manga has it just as many times as Bleach does.

But really, who would want to copy Bleach in the first place? Not only is it super popular, but imo, the art is annoying and definately not worth the time and effort to copy.

This kinda thing happens all the time doesn't it?

Gotta love when Naruto gets put on the spot :mtongue:

Bebop is way better anyways. :3
