this is more blatant than some rob liefeind stuff, and at least he did make some things on his own.

Which is nothing if reports are coming in that the story itself is similar to a videogame. Read about this a few days ago, pretty surprising not that there is plagurism, but the sheer size of it. Like what, a dozen different titles?

The one thing I find funny is the Bleach creator,Kubo Tite tweated not that his work was copied, but that he was surprised Nick was a comic artsit. lol

Actually, from last night til this morning, a huge number of foreign fans were saying "This American manga is ripping off Bleach!" or something like that. Well, I looked at the site, but I can't really read English, and it's a manga made by Gene Simmons' son.


正直似てるかどうかより、ジーン・シモンズの息子が漫画家ってことのほうが気になる…
Actually, whether it's plagiarism or not, I'm more worried about the fact that Gene Simmon's son is a mangaka.

Gotta wonder if his characters are more interesting than Bleach's protagonist though...

Stopped keeping up with it when each arc felt like the 2nd arc repeated 3 times over just in a different location.

Taken from the above Japanese, this is how you would spell it: ジーン・シモンズ
Pronunciation would be: Jiin Shimonsu.

I'd have expected it to be one of those awkward direct English injections while the rest is in Japanese, like brand-names where the pronunciation is never changed.

Yeah, i heard about this from another site. I was surprised by this. I mean, Bleach has gone downhill for a long time now, so why would you really want to copy it? I find it funny that Tite Kubo is more concerned with Nick Simmons drawing manga than copying his work.

Eh, he just seems so generic Shonen gimp 680933..
I gave up on it after SS arc-though Ichigo's dad's One hit Kill of the Grand Fisher was awesome.
Kenpachi is still a bad muthafucker though.

I used to copy poses and layouts from the UK Sonic The Comic to make my own Sonic comics, in exactly the same manner. The difference being, I was ten, and I didn't try to publish it. What a shameless, thieving pillock.

I'm still fucking waiting for more shit on Ichigo's dad rather thanfuckingmore bullshit.

That goes for Kenpachi's sword, too. I want to see a Kenpachi bankai, but he's too badass to even rely on the sword's powers.

A few years ago, I was a total weeaboo Japanophile, and memorized Katakana, a bit of Hiragana, the pronunciations, and learned what I could about dialect. It's something that's stuck with me.
I could probably solve it with copious amounts of alcohol, but eh.

Anyway, I'll shut up and let everyone get back to their regularly scheduled Gene Simmons, and Bleach talk.

I can ask my SO -- she spent most of the time leading up to the 2007 World SF Convention (which was held in Japan) learning not only how to read and speak Japanese, but how to "translate" peoples' names and handles.

She's a lingustics fanatic.... :)

Side note: KISS sucks; _Bleach_ sucks; the comic epically sucks; this whole discussion needs to Perish In Flames. (There -- that ought to cover all the Pissing People Off bases. :) )

Kenpachi's Bankai will probably blow the world up. Or it'll be a small chibi girl-who cause your brain to leak out your ears with visions of Lovecraftian horrors.

i'm not really into bleach, i saw an episode or two of the anime and it just didnt interest me.
you have to admit its pretty dumb to steal all your stuff from one of the biggest selling long running mangas out there, then say its all a coincidence when overlaying images show they have been traced.

EXACTLY!!

If it comes from the US, reads left to right, and is drawn in a manga style, it's still a comic book.

Grrr...fangirl ire...rising...

And, let's face it: the kid is a no-talent hack. He's completely screwed up his chances for a career in art because of this. No one likes a thief, and the industry is small; they will know him, and remember him for a VERY long time.

Actually, they are called OEL manga more commonly known as World Manga or Amerimanga.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_English-language_manga

They are pretty large given it gives rise to new artists in the genre from all over.
