What makes him think he can actually get away with this? If you're going to copy something make sure that something doesn't sell 40 million copies.

Whats funny, all this hoopla everyone is making out of this, is going to cause his books to actually sell far more than it would have before.

It's like i'm possessed when I start thinking and drawing. Perhaps I just got on the same wave length that all artists share.

Is he really saying that his work is not actually plagiarism because he magically channeled the Bleach author? :lol

Is the writing in this actually good? It's hard to believe that this sold 40 million by looking at the art.

The comic started out decent but then it jumped the shark and is now basically this generation's DBZ in terms of silliness and random things pulled out of asses.

This is what happens when a talentless son has to live up to his also talentless but rich and famous father.

Really? I can see a few people picking it up to check for themselves, but not masses of them.

If the publishers stop printing it, that's certainly not going to fucking help :lol

Then again there is over 40 volymes of it so it's not so hard to believe it has sold 40 million copies world wide.

No.

To be fair, this art is pretty good, at least early in the series.



Bleach is the Heroes of popular manga.

You realize that this comic is basically unknown despite their claims, almost no one knew of it till this whole thing came out. This is free marketing.

Odds are it's coincidence, since similarities like that do tend to happen.

Bleach is awful anyways, if anything they should be warning him about that fact.

Edit: All those images they say he copied? You can see ones just like them in hundreds of other anime, Manga, and various cartoon mediums. They're just reaching for a reason to hate on him.

:lol :lol :lol

You can't be fucking serious. It's so blatant that I can't even believe it's being debated.

Anyone who believes this isn't a direct ripoff is a fucking sucker.

If this comic continues, there will probably be people buying new issues just to see if he copies/traces anything else.

He's saying, if you copy something, you shouldn't copy from something that sold 40 million copies. Not that Incarnate sold that much.

I think that mouth in the hand he stole from Vampire Hunter D. He seems to have lifted some other art directly from it.

Did you miss the part where his publisher has stopped production and distribution of his comic and is trying to resolve the matter with Bleach's publisher, which implies probably taking a financial hit?

That thing in the poster even looks like Naruto's tail mode.

He says he doesn't know Bleach but it appears in his DA favorites, there are tons of Bleach art.

So he's a liar too then.
I think it's also possible he was drunk/high while making the comic, or he did it on purpose to generate controversy and drum up sales, not thinking about possible legal battles.

oh so its bad thanks what about vagabond? i want to start a new manga but i dont whats good or bad

Vagabond is great, and beautiful.

It's kinda falling off right now, but it's very worth the trip.


I'll also recommend Berserk and One Piece, both are better than Vagabond.

Quoted for utter retardedness. And possible blindness.

Bleach is fun, don't take advice from a guy who's very next post says he doesn't like manga. Give it a shot, it's an extremely quick to read, compared to the other mangas. It's also got some of the best art and original character designs out there.

If you wanna be one of the cool kids, read One Piece. I'd also recommend Claymore.

HAHAHAHA, the guy since it is full of homages but then says he never heard of Bleach.

Who would make a fucking MANGA and yet has never heard of Bleach?! I have no idea what Bleach is, except that it is some manga with some blond dude and some video games.

Fine, if there's a well written manga out there I'll readily stand corrected. But it's not like the medium is exactly known for it.
