Does Japan have no copyright laws ?

Look, both scenes are pretty clearly using
video reference. They probably even printed the required frames and then drew over it. It was common practice back then.
For the Naruto thing they probably used computers instead of paper, but using the same exact footage.
You can see how the animation is way too complex to do freehand without reference. For all I know, the Naruto artists thought they were being completely original in doing that scene.

>wanting more copy shit in Japan when pirating is already horribly enforced
I'd rather have nurutu being a carbon copy of anything.

wow you're right I'm sure the animators doing Naruto in 2002 had never even heard of Sunrise's high budget Cowboy Bebop movie

You're referring to a totally different scene from Naruto and that was referencing a Conan Lee film.

Oh, I'm sure they had. I don't think they retained the exact memory of every single scene even if they went to watch it.

yeah it's not like they work on the animation industry or anything

most autistic thread i've seen in ages, holy fuck i hope mods delete it

So? Most of them started working there because they were obsessed otakus, true, but at the end they are underpaid salarymen who only want to go to a hostess bar and forget about cartoons.

They may have watched it but doesn't mean they remember every scenes. Human brains aren't the best at remember stuff, especially stuffs the brain considerate not importance.

>You can see how the animation is way too complex to do freehand without reference
No, it's not. It's straight-forward fisticuffs. Your theory relies entirely on a totally unsubstantiated assumption that you've made on a flimsy basis. It's much more reasonable to assume it's just a simple case of plagiarism.

>only cowboy bebop has a patent showing people using their arms to fight eachother
>if any author from now on shows the same thing he shall be shot at once if not skinned alive

>It's straight-forward fisticuffs
Yeah, You have to understand that 90% of an episode's "animation" you see is pretty much just a bunch of static images with a moving mouth at best. A scene with a moving camera and characters turning their bodies? Yeah, sorry, but that's got video reference written all over.
And yeah, it is plagiarism. I'm not saying otherwise. I'm just saying that both stole from the same place.

woah, green skin bipedal creatures

Kek , literally the same theme concept and design. Hunterfags btfoed

Who's the chucklefuck on the right?

you idiot, the very same animator did both of those fight scenes. He reused his own work

The existence of Doujinshi suggests what copyright laws they have are poorly enforced.

The animation from bebop is derived from a jackie chan movie scene.

*one character ruins all the tension in your manga*

Yikes

cringe burgerfag
back to your "original" western cartoons

> scene with a moving camera and characters turning their bodies? Yeah, sorry, but that's got video reference written all over.
Neither cut is that complex, especially for an experienced action animator like Yutaka Nakamura.
>I'm just saying that both stole from the same place.
A claim which you have to no proof of.

Nakamura has never worked on Naruto and anyone with eyes can see that it's not drawn by the same person.

>A claim which you have to no proof of.
I don't. Call it an educated guess, if you want, but It's really obvious to me.

I'm always hearing this was ripped directly from an actual kung-fu flick, but no one ever shares the source. Anyone actually have it?

>people still fall for this bait despite both scenes being animated by the same guy

It's not an educated guess, it's a complete fabrication. You're just making shit up for no good reason.

cope harder nutruturd

You just don't know how animation works so you can't tell. No big deal.

It's impossible to discuss animation on Yas Forums everyone keeps throwing claims they have no proof for and generally retarded opinions like this guy

That would be referring to this scene: youtube.com/watch?v=sRHTxvEI3Sc (ignore the title, it's Conan Lee). It has nothing to do with Cowboy Bebop though. Misinformation on the internet spreads like wildfire.

There's a difference between ripping off and taking inspiration.

This, everything new has built on something else

Thanks for that.

Like Japan copied The Glorious Seven and made Seven Samurai?

Nigger, you have no idea how deep the rabbit hole goes.

In Naruto Shippuden, the "chanting chase music" (often plays during the Kazekage rescue arc) is literally the combat music from Pathologic (the Russian video game) slowed down to 0.5x speed. If you speed it up to 2.0x it's literally the same fucking track, indistinguishable.

Green Frieza

Big if true

Because that's now how copyright works you retard

Post links ?

Why Japan steals from Western so much? There's also Clint Eastwood's masterpiece "A Fistful of Dollars" which they made into the much inferior rip off called "Yojimbo".

It's funny how it work differently when it's the other way around.

West stole paprika and battle royal and made them much better.

>game release date 2005

uh oh

>they had a good fight animation from this really popular show
>really? lets use it for reference
whats so hard to wrap your head around

>How come Naruto is able to rip off Hunterxhunter's story
What part of naruto's story is a ripoff of hxh?

It's just a sample bro

not that user, but a great number of fight coreographys in naruto AND cowboy bebop, were actually bruce lee fights.
This one too

Also jackie chan fights too

they are both based on a bruce lee scene if i'm correct

The 6th or 7th user to post the same claim without providing evidence.
