Well even if the companies victimized by this abomination, do file a suit against these people, i doubt that the resolution will be timely and favorable. By the time a verdict is passed they will earn enough to bail them out and make a new one again. So sad but they dont realize that they are wasting their talents mimicing what others soulfully made. They should make their own stuff and be proud of its outcome however crappy it maybe. Besides everybody starts from scratch and its always a tough climb, but the view from the top is great.

I was thinking .... Koei the video game company created dynasty warrior based on chinese Novel is it Plagiasim as well ?

and journey to the west is chinese novel

but china is not the first one ever used the "plagiasism USA did most european country did canada as well

by the way dragonball is supposed to be chinese ( I said SUPPOSED ) I didnt said its was we somewhat all the same culture so saying china copy from every other country we should check ourself as well elf orc vampire are all from european folklore dragon ( the serpent one ) are asian folklore the bIG lizard firebreathing one is more Norse and also european as well

just think as same issue as Video game or from Movie as well Resident evil the hollywood based one not the CG one ( since the CG one was made in Japan )or like I said earlier dynasty warrior, everyone copy everyone else nothing is new but actually a Nice article

and as for BSWA I didnt even read his comment I don't know the Gribberish Language

Its china, theres nothing new they always pull this stuff on a daily basis. They can get sued, but its not like anything happens >>..

morons of course i already know what he is writing about. i am only commenting on his hatred for anything animes and the vague reasons for it.

i have no comment............

Er FaveSiege, Chinese DON'T eat cats, save a few who consider them just as the French eat horse and frog.

Seriously, don't believe EVERYTHING CNN tells you, half of the time they're just making up rubbish, I'm Chinese, I know.

Those lead things, mistakes on such a massive scale I agree with you, but look at the background - they didn't even bother even transform it! I mean, copy is one thing, you gotta make the copy convincing as your own work, but this is just ... crap.

SHIT!! What a lame immitation!! I so love 5cm per second!! This chinese rip-off sucks!! This hummiliates me to be half-chinese...

Well, I love Animes very and planning to learn Japanese and go to Japan someday, but "bswa" is kinda a bit harcore about this article I know people hating animes get hated too. But everyone has there own opinion of thnigs. We can't esacpe "PLAGIARISM" but china really has fallen in S*** ripping alot of countries, just like Germany and France they made a deal with China in building a high-speed rail train, when it was finished China(or its government) said this was made purley by 100% chinese innovation and technology. I read that one in article posted on March 19 2009 in SankakuComplex.  Everybody's been ripping someone off but China really takes the spot #1. I maybe Chinese by blood, I've kinda dislike how China going down now, I actually wanted to go on vacation China very much, then I read a couple of disturbing news happening there like there killing CATS, I love those furry CATS.

haha damn

@LordYanLiang well i codn't be bovered to do spell check and write my reply properli for ur crappy article biaatch.if u must know,ur article is a failure,ur thinking is an epic fail,ur life is an epic fail and u urself are an epic failure moron. if u don't like anime,just shut up alreadi.nobody cares and ppl will still watch anime for long as the world spins or anime ceased to exist itself. so biatch go back to ur hole and neva come out coz i m sure u will be an eyesore for evryone.

One word : Plagarism!

The people that are trying  to argue against LordYanLiang's topic should go get educated. Think before commenting. E.G  =  yeyede       Lol.

+1 to LordYanLiang

the U.S. has also bastardized every big japanese horror movie. 4kids has also become the standard of bastardizing anime in the US too. the ring and one missed call were both originally japanese movies that they decided to mess around with. remakes i believe are fine as long as they have the consent of the original artists. if not then its just a **** move. for the most part remakes fail to recapture the theme of the originals which is why they tend to be not as good.

the problem with china is it doesn't have strict copyright laws for economic reasons. the primary reason is because most of the country is still relatively poor. most DVDs are far too expensive for normal people to afford it. it isn't as bad as it is in japan, but its still pretty bad so people resort to the infamous hong kong boot leg as well. people aren't going to pay the equivalent of $3 USD (about a day's worth of work in China) for 2 episodes of their TV show. a decent DVD player costed about $40 USD which is still pretty expensive for them. why pay that much when for the same price you can get nearly an entire season of the same TV show off of a bootlegger? sure it isn't as reliable but its definitely cheaper by a long shot.

umm it's quite impossible to say China ripped anything from anywhere...

in USA..we've bastardized basically anything and EVERYTHING we've seen happen

Seriously guys, stop blaming China on problems, saying lead poisoning, bad products, knock offs, copies, etc... All that. The only reason that is, is because China is the number one producer or goods in the world. So they made a few mistakes and copy stuff. Are you saying you haven't done the same? Also, there are probably some countries doing worse, but you probably haven't heard of them because of the little market they have or not enough publicity.

Also: Everything is a copy of another to some extent.

You might as well say all people who arn't chinese are copying chinese people by using chop sticks and eatting white rice as one of their main meals every night.

How about that? Also, don't say "CHINA" is ripping off some anime. Make your title specific, because apparently theres a lot of racist idiots on this website.

I'm confused... if you think all anime is a waste of film, why do you post an article about it?

... and yes, the laws in China are so rediculous that they not only allow but support breaking copy rights and EULAs (gold farming, power leveling, hacking, etc.). I guess anything the Chinese government can tax, they allow. I can't say the U.S. government is any better in terms of taxing, but at the very least people have to respect other people's intellectual property... well... at least on a LARGE production scale (not really talking about file sharing here).

This is almost as sad as the obvious rip off of monster hunter hunter blade.

What the hell is wrong with china? terrible voice acting, terrible movies, and they copy cat everything...  

@dlk no dragon ball is not a copy of journey to west.it's more like an adaption.journey to west is more like a legend rather than a story created.so anyone is entitled to use it. it just liek vampires ..city of atlatnica...thos ekind of thigns where filmmakers get ideas from to make thier product.

@LordYanLiang plz don't hate on anime just because most people love it and u hate that. don't be jealous u moron.don't cry and bash anime just coz ur country didn't make it. and cctv was wrong.they clearly stole evrything from those jap anime.they need to be closed down. plzz thier excuse was even lamer.u cleary seem to be one of those stererotype ppl. anime has lot of diff genre and storylines. it just means u were moron enoff to watch a few lame ones and off u go on bashing anime alreadi. get ur facts ryt ****head.so if u don't like anime just shut ur hole up and don't watch it.we don't need ppl like u to tell us how much u hate it.u should probali just rot in hell. moreever everything in television is a copy of each other in genric sense. there's always a common genre /topic/plot in all tv shows.so does that mean u stop watching them since u feel it the same again ??..nooo u moron. so get a freaking life and stop bashing animes.

So what if China borrow Japan and .....Japan borrow China.........Who cares! As long as its good and has local dubbed so kids can understand.........Good for earthlinks

I though dragonball series is ripped off from china version of Journey to the West....Goku is supposed to be the Monkey King xD

warning contains lead posioning

one more thing,

why Aion online could be totally free for all in OB in CHINA ?? why not here?? why always judge chinese product???  why donot judge ours? why donot let everyone know what's the FKING situation of our protuct??   !!!

so what ?? which country does not

Ripping off

the online game or some product for their citizen ??  stupid mmo..

Being a Chinese, I completely agree this is a total rip-off, the producing company should commit suicide. And that last picture, it's obviously a Japanese scene! How the f**king h**l can they rip that off and stick it into a supposedly Chinese home?

I wish them a horrifying, slow and painful death. They haven't just lost their own faces, they've made the Chinese cartoon trade look like some sort of copy fax machine. I won't be surprised if Chinse anime fans themselves would bury that company with spit.

hahaha, that Chinese company thought they got away with it... however that 'anime' must be a joke to waste all their film.

 lmfao that should be a good show ==)

Intelectual property is myth. The laws are outdated from the last century. I can play any game for free same with watching movie and music thank to torrents. It just u people cant understand that world is changed. Pfff

5 Centimeters per Second was really a good anime, I feel awful that it has been ruined.

OMG!! O_O

too obvious...>.> I am also an inspiring comic artist and also a beginner to it but this is too cruel...>o<

the plagarism is too obvious!
