>they think originality is a real thing
Heh.

A piss poor attempt to plagarize a scene from a Japanese cartoon is not a homage.

>>83281185
If originality isn't real then what did the first people who did things steal from?

>>83281216
aliens

>>83281216
Nature

If i like the show its a homage, but if i dont like the show its plagiarism.

>>83281185
this has nothing to do with literally copying previous works instead of trying to put your own spin of things

>>83281040
that's from utena though

there's a shit ton of anime refs in su, like in the test where the congratulations thing at the end of eva is referenced

that said there isn't anything wrong with referencing, paying homage and emulating.

>>83281274
So what about the rest of the episode?

>>83281293
>that said there isn't anything wrong with referencing, paying homage and emulating.

UNLESS, that's all the show eventually becomes. Which thankfully, SU doesn't really do that too much.
But there are definitely other shows that wound just being a clutch of references, rarely ever providing anything that genuinely new

>>83281305
>baseball episodes
>original
>especially in anime

But hey, originality doesn't exist so just turn your brains off and keep eating your slob as the consumeristic pig you are supposed to be

As I said before. There are only so many ways they could exit a pod.
We had kick the door open, somehow punch it open in every direction, being a fat fuck on hardly climb out of it.

To bring certain feeling to the audience you have to do things that have been done before

>>83281274
The shots in the OP arent even identical, and that ruby was one of 5, the other 4 came out of the pod in unique ways.

>>83281435
>>83281355
I mean theres only so many ways to animate a motorcycle doing that.

>>83281468
From the exact same angle, anon?

>>83281468
Doing that in real life would kill you in about 2 seconds, its 100% an homage.

>>83281216
Jack Kirby

>>83281435
Fucking weeb Bruce Timm never had an original idea in his life.

>>83281179
Those screenshots are pretty much identical so it likely its not coincidence.

>>83281179
It's no secret Ian is a huge weeb for DBZ and had a major influence on SU as well as being Sugar's boyfriend, so.

>>83281468
How many add lighning?

>>83280802
It wouldn't trigger me if they actually referenced good anime instead of DBZ and Utena.

>inb4 Utena is a deconstruction you didn't get it REEEEEEE

>>83281305
>o no I have no point, let's move the discussion somewhere else
Let's face it you already had a "who care OK" prepared too.

>>83281534
More like people saw it so many times they just know it regardless of origin and think thats how it's done or that's how you can animate it at least

>>83281040
Yeah, this scene is the posterchild of whats wrong with american animation

>>83281716
no

>>83281716
>it's anime so it's automatically obscure
>even shit everyone's heard of like Akira

what the fuck are you doing you dumb nigger. either you're a fucking fat pedo weeb trembling at the thought of anime being manstream or you're some cartoon fuckboy that blindly and irrationally hates an entire medium because fat nerds like it too. Shit nigger this is Kanye's favorite anime and you think people haven't heard of it? get real

I never said any of the things you imply.
I diddn't know it originated in Akira but that doesn't matter. For example look at every crimeshows enhance shit. Regardless who started it, it is used by more and more because they saw it and ausme it's right. Or maybe just because it's used at all.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Evil Dead II came out 1987, Berserk prototype was made 1988. Army of Darkness came 1992, and the anime first premiered in 97. With the delay between USA and Japan and that he probably worked on the prototype for quite a while (it's 45 pages and was made while he was still studying), it would pretty much have been that he saw Evil Dead II and sat down the very next day to make Berserk.

Scouters were a dumb idea and contributed to one of the biggest flaws of DBZ. Power level wankery.

Scouters gave characters a measurable 'power level' which in turn made the scope of power ridiculous and simultaneously opened up a can of nerd worms and threw gas on the resulting nerd flame-wars. Introducing numerical power levels just gave legitimacy to bullshit "who can beat who" arguments.

Not to mention that Master Roshi blew up the moon and he's not even as strong as Tien, who's not even as strong as a Sabimen, so on and so forth. DBZ had a lot of other problems too, but scouters added nothing and were a bad idea from the start.

You know what I mean.
For how popular it is over there, I'd expect some cartoon folk to make nods and such to it like [The World] armor for the hulk. Is it just because it's not as old and popular as NGE or whatever else? I'm mean hell, SU rips off all kinds of anime scenes and stuff, but none are JoJo, so I can only assume it's relatively unpopular in the states, and/or it's not old enough to have a large enough devoted following to put that stuff in.
Stuff like this genuinely interests me, I like learning how things are perceived across borders and cultures and shit.

>>83285219
>recycling animation

>>83302902
Jojo's mainstream popularity in the West is relatively new (as of the part 1 anime), and it doesn't even have a dub that aired on TV, so it's nowhere near as popular as NGE and Akira, let alone DBZ. Just give it some time and maybe in 10 years, if JoJo aired on Toonami, you'll start seeing more "homages" in mainstream TV shows/comics.

>>83281293
>that said there isn't anything wrong with referencing, paying homage and emulating.

People can think it's okay to reference, copy, pay homage, emulate, or even flat out plagiarize. It's a personal judgement call. But I do mind when people conflate these things. They're not the same.

None of these Steven Universe examples are homages. They copied from superior sources. I am sure they feel a sincere reverence towards the shows they are copying from, but that doesn't change what these are.

No, it really is just laziness. The Sanic dolls and etc are references, but when you start lifting fight sequences or creative moments from other series, you're rejecting your own creativity or your own spin on things.

OP's image is copying a "stinger" rather than trying to think of your own imagery. Even if every composition in the world has been done, at least it was better to try and make your own rather than lift a "UH OH!" moment from DBZ.

Then copying an entire fight from Utena rather than thinking of your own.

>>83303691
Even this shit, they had an opportunity to make their own unsettling walk cycle and they just chose to rip someone else off.

Just because "everything has been done" doesn't mean you should be blatant about ripping people off. You should still try to use some creative energy thinking of things without constant references.

You are telling me, in the eyes of God, that Happy Lesson is better than anything the west has ever created?

See this is the problem with you high school weeb shitters. You watch like four or five series that people recommend and you think those chinks have it all sorted out. You never went to a convention before torrenting/streaming anime was a thing and had to make purchases based on DVD covers. You make me sick.

>>83306131
as someone that actually watched happy lesson, yes

>>83306185

>Actually watch happy lesson

The premise alone makes it worse than anything the west has ever released.

Even if the west was to release a show with the same premise it wouldn't be as bad as Happy Lesson.

>>83306218
the west released ten seasons of big brother

>>83306230

So? The West also released Frozen and UP! along with many other animated features this board considers masterpieces.

If you think any of those are worse than Happy Lesson or god forbid something worse then you have serious head troubles.

>>83286706
