Whether by way of deliberate tribute, sheer lack of originality or otherwise, the similarities between the new Gundam 00 2nd Season OP and the OP for magical girl anime Precure (Pretty Cure) have not escaped the notice of the comparative engine that is 2ch. You can view the OPs below.
It’s not clear why such extreme (beyond coincidental we might think, though still perhaps not deliberate) similarity should exist.
LOL somehow I feel really stupid to actually jump from my seat seeing Plagiarism words. REading in detail and watching the op only to find ........(@_@)
just let them be. in japan, copying things that were seen in another series is considered a way of honoring the series that came before. it is a part of their culture. so what would be called plagiarism in other parts of the world is called respect in japan. but only in the anime studio sense.
Different order, and the Precure girls are moving, so it's not hard to catch a still image that resembles that of 00. Besides, except for Anew's, their poses are actually very different.
Hey 2ch!
Nice propaganda against Gundam 00. :)
Hope this satisfy your urge in complaining.....
"honestly, i don't really see any issues from it since old concepts are renewed and reused all the time. somebody's just trying to stir the pot, so to speak. the people complaining should be the affected company, not the fans.
if toei had issued a lawsuit against sunrise then i would take this article seriously. otherwise, 2ch or anyone else who issued this ought to be sued for libel if sunrise considers such public statements as damaging to their business. " => (got this from other forums and I damn Agree!!)
Your damn right. Actually, we all expected them not to make it. :)
And dont go confusing the fans and the public cause the 2 animes dont bother in their "similarities not plagiarism". Your just making out an issue out of yourself!
Generally, although plagiarism is often loosely referred to as theft or stealing, it has not been set as a criminal matter in the courts.[6] Likewise, plagiarism has no standing as a criminal offense in the common law. Instead, claims of plagiarism are a civil law matter, which an aggrieved person can resolve by launching a lawsuit. Acts that may constitute plagiarism are in some instances treated as copyright infringement, unfair competition, or a violation of the doctrine of moral rights. The increased availability of intellectual property due to a rise in technology has furthered the debate as to whether copyright offences are criminal.
On what grounds do the OP of Gundam 00 s2 copied the OP of Precure? I started counting precure and they have 5 while 00 have only 4 (butterfly passing by a girl). And I noticed the 4 fem's of 00 have serious faces while precure have happy ones. For not being biased why are the people here being bothered of this similarities (not plagiarism) cause the concept of the 2 are different in most ways. If you consider this plagriarism then many other anime must be define also a copycat. Similarities cannot be avoided but for heaven's sake lets judge all them fairly. But if your still biased with this issue the hell are you reading this comment!!! :)
Personally I like the song... It's just doesn't fit with Gundam stereotype... Oh well it's just a personal reference so don't mind the comment.. Besides, this series is already become a piece of trash anyway...
Actually, there IS a pattern. Gundam Seed, Gundam Seed Destiny, Code Geass...they all had a final OP that wasn't really......"there" with the rest of them. Just didn't fit it. I think it's a way of saying "it's almost over" and "evrything will be fine"
The poses really aren't the same, and at least with the 00 opening there is an element of symbolism to the poses. With Precure it's just girls with feathers, as far as I can tell
Well this series has failed to amuse me. The new OP theme is good but it didn't fit Gundam image. A bit.. too POP? ;_;
explain all the op's to the seed series. isnt that more pop?
LOL somehow I feel really stupid to actually jump from my seat seeing Plagiarism words. REading in detail and watching the op only to find ........(@_@)
aah well whatever
Why do people really like to point out and makes a fuss about negative things.....
In my point of view it's not plagiarism, like allelujah_fan said it's respect for the others.
so. . when we will see the gundam 00 girls had "henshin scene"?
:3
No offense but This kind of stupid and a really big one at that. wonder if people at 2ch actually took this really seriously
OMG, THEY CHANGE LOCK-ON INTO SQUIRRELL!! xD
Wow the fact that you people are complanig about this is hilarious!
I guess some of the guys in the staff were slacking
some of the scene's where ok but the song sucks for this series
this would have been better of as the ending...
Too funny.
Tribute to a show that's still on the air. Makes perfect sense!
just let them be. in japan, copying things that were seen in another series is considered a way of honoring the series that came before. it is a part of their culture. so what would be called plagiarism in other parts of the world is called respect in japan. but only in the anime studio sense.
if this was youtube id give you a thumbs up
DURR HURR... where mah naked Marina?

Heh. Plagiarism or some kind of symbolic irony; unlike mahou shoujos, I'm betting at least some of those ladies won't make it to the end.
Hey 2ch!

Your damn right. Actually, we all expected them not to make it. :)

yep some similarities, not plagiarism.

are most people at 2ch having brain damage or something?
who the fuck cares?? The story is the most important

let us just wait if Sunrise is sued in this matter and find out the result. But for now the 2 anime are good in their own way.
it's beginning to look like some sort of smear campaign. 2ch should be sued for libel.
The stupidiest and ridicilous things I've ever seen. ah 2ch what have you become to.....
Terrible OP.
Not exactly plagiarism. For the op to be plagiarized , it would have to be exactly the same.
uh, no...something does not have to be the same to be plagiarized.
Oh lol. Anyone REALLY believe that Sunrise STEAL smthing from some shitty mahou-shoujo series?
Btw, S2 openings sucks, Ash Like Snow and Daybreak`s Bell was much better.
Why not?
Now Sunrise is really sucks...

Kinda surprised this hasn't been posted.
I don't know anything about Jinki, but oh wow
Let me fix that for you...
The new OP song is horrible anyway.
maybe they did it as an excuse to use a new one.
Personally I like the song... It's just doesn't fit with Gundam stereotype... Oh well it's just a personal reference so don't mind the comment.. Besides, this series is already become a piece of trash anyway...

"Gundam Stereotype", please enlighten me to as what this consists of.
JUST WILD BEAT COMMUNICATION
FLYIN' IN THE SKY
MEN OF DESTINY
LOL
Sunrise sucks :~
oh how we know this
I KNEW IT!!!
ha!!!
EPIC FAIL for this series...
First the shitty story in the 2nd season and now a suspect of plagiarism... Oh please Sunrise, enough of this nonsense that you have made already...
They see me trolling...
Just the same hair color...
and colored butterflies
and background color...
And the pose....
That is called a plagiarism
The poses really aren't the same, and at least with the 00 opening there is an element of symbolism to the poses. With Precure it's just girls with feathers, as far as I can tell
