This topic came up when I was talking to Krazy the other day. She said that Vash the Stampede (Trigun) had the original blond hair, red coat look, and Ed stole it. I agree. My topic was to see if there were any OTHER characters that seemed similar that you'd like to discuss. This might have been a bad idea.... :unsure:

does they have to be anime characters? just checkin.....

No, any characters from anything that you can think of. See who stole who's idea first. See?

the anime Wolfs Rain reminded me of the animorph person who turned into a wolf...eh..i dont read a lot of those books but i remember there was a wolf person in the Animorph gang. (hehe i havent watched that show since i was like 7 XD)

haha.
:huh: Lol.. Meryl (Trigun) reminds me of Ross xD

I think that the anime book Claymore copied off of Chrno crusades..it almost has the same plot line. Claire from Claymore is sort of like Chrno. she's a half demon trying to fight off Yoma **people eaters who are half human half monster that have silver eyes and possess supernatural strength but are condemned to fight their savage implulses or lose their humanity completely.** to protect towns and villages 'n' stuff.

Meryl Strife was before Maria Ross Aly. And i much rather prefer Milly than Meryl. Actually i like Milly *laughs*

But i'de compare Voltron to Gatchaman

Spike from cowboy bebop, & Van from Gun Sword . They look alike (except Van always wear a hat and never ever takes it off) but they are oppsite in personalities.

Spike is cool and active. Van is well......lazy like hell.

Spike


Van


Let see there is also Vash and Abel. They are both crazy goofball with a horrible past. The also have that thou shall not killing. there is more but I can't becuase it is a major spoilers.

highlight to read
Abel also has an evil twin who killed someone Abel lvoed. Just like Vash's vvil twin brother Knives kill Rem

Vash


Abel

Theres also me an Wakka from FFXI. That guy took my look >:O even though technically speaking his olde rthen me, I lived before he was ever released..........Oh, and I don't have the big hair either, though I usuakky do have fohawk, which is kinda like that.

LOLZ, actually lately Animes and anime characters are becoming more and more cliched. Everyone got influence from something else. Look at all the animes. How many emo characters are there? Annoying violent girls? Girly guys? Exactly... Way too many. Also everyone has some tragic past, blah blah.

Square is quite unoriginal:
Terra from FFVI is ze original Aeris
Why? She is the final of her race, she has some secret powers, and their personality is quite familiar.

Rinoa Heartilly is the clone in appearance to TIFA Lockheart. And garnet is the chibi form of them too.

*sigh* You're right Krazy. Far too many cliched characters these days....seems like non-anime watchers have more and more reasons to say that it's dumb and such. Where's the originality?

Here is a copy cat: (chrono was created first) they both wear red headband, red coat, wears a balck undercoat, a red coat and have banges.

Vincent Valetimes (Final Fantasy)



Chrono (Chrono Crusades)

LOL! Vincent is like my fav character from FFVII! (Reno is 2nd, and Cloud is 3rd)

Let's see...I had a look alike a second ago, but now its gone....maybe it'll come back to me...

Curses, I was about to bring up Spike and Van, but i was beaten to it. ^^; Alright, lesse.

People stole my character - but I won't get into that.

I'd just like to say this.




They remind me of one another.

sorry Michiko,

here is another pair:

Brandon Heat (aka Beyond the Grave) after he got his hair cut (Gungrave) and Jin (Samaurai Champloo)

Beyond the Grave (Gungrave) And Livio (Trigun manga)
they look the same because they are fro mthe same creator Yashiro Nightow

O.O I remembered it! YEAH ME! Here goes!

Jin (Samurai Champloo)


and Abel (Trinity Blood)


If Jin's hair color was a little different, and he let it down, they'd be twins! ^_^

ohh yeah Abel-san!! (where did you get that Abel pic??)

yes they do have the same hair style!!

I googled "Trinity Blood" in images, and it also comes up when you put "Trinity Blood Abel Nightroad" in.

Yeah. Naruto and S.S Goten look alike! definatly. the orange and blue outfits and spiky blonde hair!

ahh, the best one I got is the signature someon made me




(we getting off topic a bit)


okay back to topic:

Of course Mugen 9 samurai Champloo) and Spike (cowboy bebop)!! because they are from the same creators of course

Check this one out!

There twins!!!! hehehe smae smile and everything!!!

They just have similar smiles. And the artist work of the concept of haveing closed eyes and big smiles while laughing is popular. But i suppose they do look the same.

I dunno I thought it was cool

Don't get me wrong it is cool that they do look similar smileing like that. But i think it's more about the concept of the smile. Closed eyes with wide toothy smile. But they do look similar like that.

Actually, with Van and Spike, I'd like to point out that they really ARE that similar, in not only looks but personality. The two walked different paths, and Van's bitterness has crept into his nature - he's not as inspired as he was, but more weary and indifferent.. and grumpy.

With Spike, he would easily have followed the same path, but it didn't turn out the same. He has his own bitter misgivings, although he tries to put up an air that nothing bothers him. It's not true, but...

Both have a devil-may-care attitude, and similar approaches to fighting. Hell, they MOVE similarly, even. And once Van's in Dann, and Spike in Swordfish, they're unstoppable. >> Usually.

Spike seems to me like a more optimistic version, although the similarities betwen the two are eerie. At least, though, Spike may complain about food, he doesn't feel a need to turn it into some impressionistic masterpiece using every condiment he can get his hand on...

O.O I just remembered another one!!! Okay, we all know Alucard(sp?) from Hellsing, right?


Well you ALSO know that episode of FMA when Edo dies his hair green, puts on the hat, and glasses? Yeah, they look QUITE smiliar! ((I can't find a pic of that, but you all know what I'm talking bout, it's kinda hard to forget.... :lol: ))

your right, I haven't see Cowboy bebop, I only saw the last episode. so don;t know how strong Spike is.

oh yeah I like that scene when Van dose that, he completely covers the plate in condiments. i can't beleive he eaats that stuff.

you mean this pictures?? It is episode 45: The One Who Lets Her Heart Rot

YES! how did you find that?!? Awsome! Yeah that pic and Alucard. Don't they look alike? Just a bit of different color... :lol:

Where I find it?? I have screencaps form every singel episodes and the moive. If I didn't have a screeencap of something, I will put my dvd in, and make a screencap with my dvd player.


you are right, if Ed's clothes were red it would make him look like Alacaurd.

Coolio! I didn't know that you could do that....

Yeah, if they were red....weird how that works. Huh?

yes I can do that,

I stuck that oicture on paint and paint Ed's clothes red, yes he denfintly looks like Alacaurd

O.o right now? Can you put it in paint and then post it? That would be really coolio! ;)

here you go (I got lazy and did only the hat and part of the coat)




actually there is one character that looks liek Alacarud, I am going have to a screencap for it

LOL! :lol: That's awsome! I would for cover if I saw him coming! :lol:

Oscar would LOVE it though! (he's some guy at my school who is obsessed with Hellsing, and has 4 shirts with something to do with it on them. Mostly Alucard!)

on to another lok alike..ummmm

one of the two main characters from Gernadier, Yasiro?? I think his name is, he looks like Koga from inuyahsa

OHH! I got one!

Wooden Sword Ryu (shaman king)


Captian Battleship (Bo-bo bo bo etc)
He's got REALLY long hair kinda like that other guy...((can't find a pic))

Here's another two!

Eyes (Spiral)


Riku (Kingdom Hearts II)

Oh yeah, Captain battel ship and Ryu. Eyes and Riku are exactly alike

let see:

Chrono (Chrono Crusades) and Sasuke (Naruto) has the same exact hair style:



here is a triple one:

Excel (Excel Saga) and Rossete Christopher (Chrono crusades) and a girl form Hellisng all look the same:

Excel


Rossette Christopher


(no picture from hellsing character)

Correction, Vincent was made way before Chrono was. Chrono had many variations before his time like in Chrono trigger, but its a fact that Vincent Valentine was created before Chrono from Chrono Crusade was created.

FFVII is an OLD game, came out when? 1996? 1997? Maybe even before that time?

they arent alike at all.
