Omar Harris Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Well maybe not a knock-off. That would imply that Disney put no effort into changing the original material into something their own (they do it with every movie. Look at the true Cinderella story to see what I mean). But similarities can be found between the Lion King and Kimba the White Lion Kimba-Simba They look similar, except Kimba is ...well white. That all I know. I haven't seen that show in a good while. Other similarites in anime and american tv I found: Big O and Batman, Goku (from DBZ) and Superman. There are others I can't think of. I really haven't seen anything in America that is a complete knock-off of anime so I might be off-topic with this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Webb Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Guyver... that horrible horrible American live-action Guyver movie. The bad memories keep on flooding back. By the way, Big O is an anime knock off of an American series (Batman). Same with Goku and Superman (which has been around since the late 1930s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 Depends on your definition of knock-off. Usually when I hear that word, it has the same conotation as rip-off: Plagiarising and putting little effort into changing the material into something compeltely ones own. There are a large number of resemblances, but both shows are so different as to stand on their own. Now a knock-off I hate is the Street Fighter movie. Bad comedy. M. Bison is supposed to be a tyrant and a man of mystery, not a joke-a-minute comedian. (Though I did like his conversation with Chun Li: "To you my dear, the day M. Bison graced your village was the greatest day of your life. To me, it was just Tuesday.") Guile was the hero, even though we all know that that's Ryu and Ken's job, and if the name Jean Claude Van Damme ever appears in the movie credits, you know first-hand that it is doomed from the getgo. I'm just sorry that poor Raul Julia's (M. Bison and Gomez in the Addams Family movie) last film was this piece of crap. I also agree with you Endymion. I used to foolishly believe that Guyver was an awesome movie until I realized how bad the dialogue is and the fight scenes sucked. What was up with Guyver throwing pieces of wood at the Caine in Guyver 2. Because of this I have little faith in any other Hollywood made anime movie that is destined to appear (especially DBZ, which I had little faith in from the getgo.) Now, Akira, hopefully will do it some justice. If not, I'll just have to grit my teeth and stay away from a theatre for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I see, although, Ive got to say that every one is talking about super man and gokou. but if you ask me although they are very obviously similar. gokou is a knock off of superman. which means its an anime knockoff of something and not the other way around. Im sure every one feels that way. the street fighter movie was horrible. the guyver movie sucked. fist of the northstar had a live action made, it sucked but not as bad as the others.

Manic Webb Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I heard about the Fist of the North Star movie. Didn't it end at the anime's half-way point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
