Soul’s Window: China Rips Off 5cm Per Second

China’s reputation for originality and respect for copyright is once again cemented with the news that a Chinese company, working in partnership with a state propaganda department, has plagiarised wholesale Makoto Shinkai’s popular and visually striking anime movie “5 Centimeters Per Second.”
You can see much more of it below (the Chinese version is on top):
“Soul’s Window” (心灵之窗) is ironically enough billed as a “moral anime,” a genre which dominates China’s heavily censored animation industry. Exciting themes of selfless dedication to party and state promised, and the heroic actions of the People’s Liberation Army play a central role.
The hatred of viewers toward just this kind of tedious preaching in anime is cited as one of the problems faced by the industry, coupled with a complete lack of artistic freedom, and the inability to export such naked propaganda.
Even more notable is that fact that the anime is apparently co-produced by the local Communist Party propaganda department, showing just how deeply the Chinese government cares about such matters.
State censors have approved its “healthy ideological content” for nationwide release on TV and at cinemas, with 52 episodes planned.
Rarely has anime plagiarism been so bold.
The original work made heavy use of photographic reference, but of course these were taken in Japan by the original studio, so it is curious to see them crop up in a Chinese production.
Voices have been raised in China calling for the development of a domestic anime industry, and the removal of pernicious Japanese anime from China; it appears one response will be to simply copy parts of Japanese anime and call it domestically produced…






























thats just china quality!
Epic CHINA QUALITY!

anytype of online translator failed to get the actual meaning across..maybe 60%..but sometime you'll get something completely unrelated and totally off as well as hilarious...
Some picture are pretty obvious indeed, can't say much about that...but some...well i thought most classes room hallway and pound looks similar...but not much else I can say to defend the cause for this one.
Hopefully once the industry is up, we'll have some better ones along, there are plenty of interesting materials in chinese to use.
YES, MY LORDO

HAHAHA if they had used the full picture 11 and just changed some parts, the Chinese community would be like "HEY we don't have apartments like those in China! That's definitely Japanese in design!"
5cm per second was epic and this is truely epic shyt China alright, fuck you China, fuck you.
WO CAU!!!!
我操!!!
as a chinese..I feel shame..
as a Japanese.. I feel hate for CCTV
I am feel shame to be a Chinese, we insult 5cm Per minutes
cheap ripoff. >@
If I was chinese I'd be ashamed to be chinese.. not just because of the lack of care of the chinese government for; human beings, common sense, hygiene, compassion, justice, anything not chinese, freedom of speech, and respect for other people's ideas. But- Oh wait, I already mentioned that?
Damn you, stupid chinese
What, you're calling me?
U mean China?not all chinese live in china u know?
stupid China and person who proud with it

CHING CHANG CHONG GOTTA SHMALL SHLONGwwwwwwwww
They really have no shame... Plus the artwork is awful...
Its good in its own way, but comparing it to 5cm/s, yes it is.
Well, at least they downgrade the quality, so they can "safely" call it isn't a plagiatory action,,,
I've seen some of this...
The dub is terrible, animation is flash level and the story is exactly what Artefact said it was. Pro-government propaganda and "serve your community"shit.
at least it's better than extremely tightwad-low budget nick's cartoons =p
So much for China being anti-anime. I'm like WTF? You insult anime and now you copy it? Do you fucking have any pride or shame?
The whole point of China's existence is to confuse those around it.
Communism + racism + plagiarism + CCTV + soul's window = Fucking Chinese quality
copy is still a copy but please do respect the artwork is not awful
what artwork? all i see is a low-res copy of the original.
lol true dat
Heh, wow. Just.... wow.
Heh, lol. Just…. lol.
Heh, fail. Just.... fail.
Such is the magic of propaganda.
That's really retarded, like nobody will notice it.
Damn, I hate their way of thinking...
yet, you're a chinese right?
The thread in the forums that spawned this is very amusing.
Degenerated somehow into stupid assertions of Japanese heritage and a poster's bloodline. As if it mattered one iota.
NONONONO skirt must be longer yes.
Hahaha, you're right. I didn't notice that.

Soul's Window? More like... Cheap Rip-Off. I wouldn't have complained if it hadn't been China's penchant for ripping things off...
It's the truth, don't you see?
It's a Window into the dirty and moral-less 'Soul' of China.
it's like the UI design of Windows 7 rips off Mac-OS.
Even on a site dedicated to anime-related news you macfags STILL find a way to bring M$ vs. Apple? Off yourself. Please.
I agree with that man, but some idiot thinks we're talking about Macs and IBM-compatibles. take a look below. We're not.
So that's China's soul window ??? How sad, our country close to such a rotting mess, not that we have nice smell either..., but at least better, for now >_<"
Chinese Comment:
http://www.tianya.cn/publicforum/content/funinfo/1/1601020.shtml
oh well, this is CHINA we are talking about. useless people that goes about copying everything. Includes their military hardware as well.
IF there is ANYTHING good they are good at, well, here we have it: COPYING.
-nvsds
Good point there. Piracy could very well be renamed as Chinacy.
+1
I d like to see what will be the reaction of Makoto Shinkai ? Copying the Shinkai work is also a proof that they take the best animation (from my point it is the best animation done until now) from Japan to copy it in a Chinese way.
i feel bad for the people there, as the chinese (government*) banned anime, this is the outcome where people have resorted to copying and to presumably show the story based on the anime... i guess you would have to blame the government for this
=D thank you for sayng this.. not sarcasm btw
"Longer Skirts"
“healthy ideological content”
"walls with pictures of educated people"
"shitter quality of lazy so-called artist"
"prisoner-like clothes"
anymore anyone ?
"Dead eyes"
"soulless faces"
"white clouds on black sky"
Can't wait for the lawsuits to fly in.
how is this shit not illegal? Is china immune to all issues of copyright or something?
They seem to be able to get away with shameful bullshit all the time.
Maybe because every country is afraid of them because they are that many people? Just imagine what happens if china stops delivering to a country because they are mad...
China has vulnerable supply lines in Africa, frequent riots at home, and the only good land target is India, which has strong international support, not just from the USA.
China does not have a good war option. If they try for economic pressure, it might backfire and ruin their own economy, especially if their commodities imports get cut off.
Plus, India has nukes of its own, which is just another reason why they'd make an unattractive target.
^ both right
Most countries(if not all) surrounding China are protected by the UN, whilst Japan and some other countries are protected by the US itself, if China tries to touch any of those countries, they should expect full retaliation from the UN and if they touch Japan or bomb them. They should expect nukes on Beijing and other Chinese cities.
China doesn't acknowledge copyright, and also requires all companies to have a 'chinese' partner in order to operate in China. So to have something manufactured in China, you have to have a 'Chinese' partner and they have all rights to rip your product off.
Stupid law, yet companies still buy it.
CCTV is a Chinese gov't owned channel, they are the law basically. Good luck trying to challenge them in court.
ah... china how much you want to amouse me to have your blood?
epic fail
Byoukusou it's the best
Well... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :P.
Yeah. Until it costs you money.
This is money the copyright holders are losing to plagiarists.
But, frankly, what can you expect from China? The DVD knockoff, fake designer jean, copied CD, cheap lead-painted obvious ripoff toy, MMO gold-farming and selling capitol of the planet?
I don't have any issue with Chinese people. I have issue with their government and the con artists who pull this bulls**t.
what you said is nothing compared to the "great" food they have there. cardbox steam bun, artificial chicken egg, and the latest discovered "fried stick"(something like french fries but not potato) with cloth washing powder.
actually they don't lose any money in this case since no doubt the original is banned in china.
seriously,those shameless china
I wonder this isn't first time Chinese anime were so "bold"?
Ahh what else can we expect from the country of fail ^^;
Bracing for incoming lawsuits.
Why are some people surprised to begin with? It is China lol. Ahh China Quality...qualities. Going by this site.
China Quality = Fail or Plagirism or 'U Wut?'
Japan Quality = Lolicon/Hentai Teachers or Bizzarre Sex Crimes or Japanese Women=Supreme Gold Diggers
USA Quality = Dumbass-ery or Bizzarre Murders/Events
Korea Quality = Extreme Nationalism! Fuck Yeah!
UK Quality = Pissheads or 'Plz! Think of the CHILDRENS!!' or 'Gaah!! It Offends us!'
Russia Quality = Penis Mutilations FTW or 'In Soviet Russia, Women rape you?'.
India Quality = Erm Sacrificial Loli's(?)
Femnazi Quality? = Equality Now
What about Canada hmm? Oh well. Everyone forgets Canada. At least articles like these bait the ignorant racist idiots.
Huh why this end up here? Thought I canceled this reply and then I clicked post comment at bottom. Oh sod it lol.
There's always Canadian Bacon...
Sweden quality= The Joker Queen, protector of 2D lolis, when immigrated muslim`s sex crime rate hit the roof in her(?)home country.
this is beyond tracing
Wonder what Makoto Shinkai would say after hearing this news?
Shake his head and said:"Oh well, that's China."
*facepalm*
China quality never let you down...
always (original work(rip off) + disaster)= China (original)production
Fail China is fail. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with them?
Don't forget that China is the result of huge incest (its actually about the chinese emperor making all woman pregnant, and after the birth of the child again), if you ever have read china's history.
No, China's history is dominated by the geography of its land.
It's possible to unify its main land areas with just iron weapons and horses. It's hard for rebels to stay isolated.
Incest is not the issue - polygamy, maybe, but not incest.
From what I read in history, Chinese soldiers from the past are... very... weak.
and you thought the emperor has the strength to impregnate all his wife huh? actually most of his wife are put in the back castle and may not see the emperor face for years.
I think you are thinking of Genghis Khan. Apparently there is a fairly large percentage of people running around with the khan's dna out there.
Disgusting. China is indeed the Great Motherland of Piracy. There isn't even anything original in those shots, just plain ugly failed attempts at plagarism. Rubbish of the highest degree possible, an insult to Makoto Shinkai's work.
This is a huge fucking insult to Shinkai. As a Shinkai fan, I must put into motion a series of complexed and well thought out plans to sink China into the sea, broken at the borders. Now how many bombs do I need again...
over 9000
Just one, but make it a quantify one, at least enough to blow all of it main cities with one hit. Oh damn, what I'm saying , we are next to China X(
What a pain...
and this anime is suppose to be about "moral"
great job chinese
Pirates still exists today and most of them came from China.What's next,Chinese-pirated space shuttle going to Chinese-colonized moon?
already done. they copied Russian rocket technology for their space walk.
They gonna copy the name too? Like 2cm per second?
Why 2?
Why not -2mm per second?
I mean the velocity of a car in China style highway...
o tru
lol'd at this one.
only the name is not copied
Rather than an insult wouldn't this be a compliment? Shows that even movies intended for the Japanese are penetrating international markets.
And if the movie is designed to convert WoW gold farmers into nationalistic kill bots whats wrong with that?
its a compliment in a way like telling a girl that "you'd totally to want do her" is a compliment. . .
besides japanese animated movies have alrealdy penetrated international markets, it's basically old news. . .
...ok. i was under the impression that that was a compliment.
Try picking up a girl with that line, I can almost guarantee you unless she's a whore that it won't work.
WTF... they did it again... fuck CPC... shame for it...
However, if you look into it, you'll find that the story line of "Soul’s Window" is nothing to do with "5 CM Per Second", it only ripped off some screen shot. So don't be misleaded like someone else.
I have a couple of questions--
Did the same studio or workers from the "original" studio work on both episodes?
Does that "original" studio have the right to re-use imagery to save money-- Sorta like how 70s Hanah Barbera, Ruby Spears, etc. re-used whole scenes and backgrounds to save money back in the day.
Let's be realistic the "original" animators studio was probably in Korea. This work could have been farmed out to them and as a cost cutting measure they gave this copy to their Chinese clients.
Just wondering if anyone knows the specifics...
I always thought Makoto Shinkai did all his animations himself? That's why everyones so mad.
Me too by the way
Yeah, Makoto Shinkai does all his own animation using a computer. With is only part of what makes his work so damn breathtaking. To copy that and degrade it is fucking obscene.
Not to mention sad, that a whole team of animators couldn't reproduce the quality of one man.
Chinese version is bullshit
very ironical with that title >_>
but o well
none of my concern... none of my concern...
what can i tell as a Chinese
it's damn producers' faults.
otakus in China are as lovely as foreigners.
fuck those fucking guys of 文廣總局!!
It's not an easy task to explan this...
totally speechless
is this what is be to be so famous!!?
this is overboard board with a great anime getting disgraced
HAHAHAH get the fuck out you Chinese prick.
I think he is talking about the 5cm per second, not about the FUCKING SOUL's WINDOW. damn those chinese who tried to desecrate Makoto-sama's work!!!
山寨美啊。。。穿越美。。。咱天朝CCAV是神啊!!!《心灵之窗》是神作啊。。。KEY啊什么的一边滚吧!!!AREA11的你们膜拜我们天朝吧!!!看不懂关我P事。。。
All Hail China.
AREA11 GO DIE!!!
And the irony is, the term "Area 11" was coined by a JAPANESE anime. Just shows that your nationalistic vitriol is full of hot air, just like your copies of other people's anime.
You obviously don't know what is shutting the fuck up. Byosoku is (not was) epic. KEY owns. Enough said. Anon above pointed out the rest already.
and you anon should die.
that is the fault of damed CCTV!!!!
Actually our common people really scorn such kind of thing.
i feel quite ashamed
I feel sorry for Chinese who are dragged into this shit.
DAMN CCTV FOR PRODUCING A CRAPPY IMITATION OF %CM PER SECOND. FUCK CCTV!
额,CCAV少儿从来不看,居然有这片,哪天去看看。
MORAL ANIME!?
This time china has gone to far...
they're actually contradicting themselves. They're producing a "Moral Anime" when they even do immoral things to a copyrighted divine anime.
China has gone overboard board
Good Job! China once again lives up to its reputation!
haiz... china... the japanese animation was so bloody good, and yet it turned out like that...
Quick, let me show me respect for Japan's artistic greatness by downloading a copyright-infringed copy of this artwork!
Plagiarism, irony, unacceptable, etc.
On top of that, just from a practical perspective, how do they intend to source 52 episodes from a single movie? Are there going to be dramatic art style shifts every time they run out of material and have to switch to a new source of "inspiration"?
Or is each episode really short?
fiiiillleeeeerrr
i'm guessing there will be repeating scene...omg its gundam wing!!! XD
Lol... Probably animated tin cans if that ever happens...
They are apparently 8.5 minutes long.
LOL!!! Damn CCTV. trying to copy makoto's work and turning it into an anime series with a ridiculous 8.5 min long episodes.
majority of chinese animation are pretty much unwatchable
Wouldn't it be easier for the Chinese animators to learn and use MikuMiku Dance to produce their propaganda animations, rather than to frame-by-frame modify copies so it looks like less than a copy?
But then, perhaps their animators are under the power of bosses who do _not_ want originality and creativity, as these are considered "dangerous ideas" by the government.
我竟然看见了
翻版的韩国...
啧啧
天潮真白痴...
光电更白痴.
没个创意
Most of the time, the ingenuity of Chinese counterfeit products would only get me to roll my eyes at best, not even the infamous "Beijing Disneyland" could get me to react negatively. (More like LOLWUT)
But this, words cannot even begin to describe my utter disgust at this.
Rather than being used for commercial gain (or lack of it), which is the norm, the Party has now stooped to new lows by resorting to blatant plagiarism for their propaganda efforts.
Has purchasing all those US Treasury Bonds really left them that cash strapped in brainwashing their comrades that they have to resort to this? They were more effective in Mao's time and they had less money than the Party does now (before they abandoned "communism" for "Chinese-style socialism", which is just Commyspeak for "capitalism").
LOL china.
Great job China, now for the next, 18 meters Teakwon V, oh but hey, it was Korean, but the same shit anyway.
Chinese anime should take Endless Eight and make spin-off of it...
天朝这次丢人了...
I just want to say I like China ,no matter what he had done .
It's my motherland……
That's surprising. I hate it. My own country as well.
If you hate it, then destroy it, create your own then. It's not an easy task though...If you are just a normal person you need to find a "save point" XD
春哥纯爷们,铁血真汉子!
lol.
they didn't copy tatami.
。。。。。。。。囧!!!!!!!CCTV构成侵权了!囧
Couldn't they have at least tried to keep it from looking like crap?
I think this trend will continue...soon they'll start putting a solid lead bar in each bottle of imported milk.
It'd be true quality if the copied animation gave people cancer >_>
I ♡ China

Go fuck your self, stupid chink.
Chinese bastards are too dumb to create anything themselves...
As usual, China is just made of fail. Pretty funny fail, as usual, but fail nonetheless.
Highly Emulational Nicety...
It would be funny if they started using Grave of the Fireflies to copy.
ChangChang: Hey guys,we've finally ban all Japanese anime from coming into our country.
ChongChong: Cool, now let's make our own anime to spread moral values.
ChungChung: But guys, i don't know how to draw.
ChangChang: Don't worry, we'll just trace from some "random" anime.
ChungChung: Yea, they won't notice that!
ChongChong: Yea, good idead!! Now let's start it!
----
Now i wonder what they're going to make if they're tracing Queen's Blade..
I'd love to fly a bomber into China now and drop DVDs of chinacy and porn... Just for the fun of it.
...wait wat
don't you just love how people in other Asian countries say they hate Japan but they ripe off Japan constantly. Mostly korea and China is the ones that hate Japan the most and the that ripe Japan off the most.
Where I live Koreans own Chinese and Japanese Restraint's.
they should copy school days.
and turn it into a Moral-based anime.
So, this is a parody of the original! It doesn't make sense that the animation film is not original, especially when the Chinese government is promoting morality and values. With this act of copy cat, the communist party have legalise illegal copying; if the government is doing it, then why not we, the normal people too! That would give that people the wrong signal!
The government should stop working with that Chinese animation studio immediately, the higher ups of the government certainly has not watched Makoto Shinkai’s "5 Centimeters Per Second" (since it's Japanese afterall); if the government find out that they are ripping them off, everyone in that studio will get the death penalty.
i would like to see how they can change only by watching 5cps.
That anime is the best movie i've seen. I'm talkin 'bout the anime movies here.
They did it again? WTF...
However, to be honest, if you look into it, you'll find that the story line of "心灵之窗" has little in common with 5cm per second, it just ripped of some screen shots.
looks like adding few layers to original works
and mirrorring too
Oi oi oi
I like Shinkai's works and China has gone too far this time.
Somebody do something.China has no respect for the hard work it takes to create art.Bloody fucks.
THE GUNDAM ARMY SHOULD START THEIR FULL-SCALE ASSAULT ON CHINA AND IT'S LEADERS! ERADICATE CCTV!
Every foreign friends,those who release their opinion in Chinese cannot stand for us,the most innocent China‘s anime fans,they just have some illness in their vacant brain and feel too dull.
I suggest you,my friends,just regarding them as illiteracies or LZ.
Ok,perhaps my English is very poor,please don't mind that= =.
As anime fans in China,you know,we love animations(ignoring those LZs),but suffering the parties’ all-control policy,we have no ,yes ,not any chance to see the no-fake anime works.So we could only watch the the bogus.I love the magnificent work,and the copy scandal are all done by the Chinese propaganda department and that company.It‘s the time to give CCTV some punishment they should suffered .
英语帝,中国宅民的面子交给你了
Be a hero, burn it down.
Migrate the minute you can... You guys are not birds in a cage. A government has no right to tell people how to live and enjoy lives. Even God doesn't have that right. IMHO
The comparison of the bird in cage is very appropriate.And at the begining Chinese communist party lead us to seek for the freedom and the truth.But now,they only care about money,all money,DAME money.That's ,in my opinion,is the main reason of the bad impression left in the foreign friends.
They aren't birds in a cage, they're more like cattle that wait for butchery, oi common people all like that, if being butcher one by one, they think they are fine, but if they think they going to be butcher all at one, they may fight back however...
So,that so-called Chinese communist party isn’t standing for the descendants of Yellow Emperor.That's why the scandal happened.Those up-levels care nothing but the money.The so called "soul's window" is just their tool to make their senior happy.Those guys have insulted the work——5cm/s,most of China‘s anime fans with conscience are now showing their protests and sadness of the CCTV,together with its boss——Chinese communist party.The problem is that there no chance let you know all the details.
At last,I want to show consensus in hating the copy scandal from every China‘s anime fans with conscience.
CCAV又出丑了
谁贴个大嘴巴嘟嘟的套图~~~~~~
the aim of following Chinese is to remind this people don't write down you opinion in chinese,please ignoring that.
请不要用中文发言,这样很不尊重人家
Wow, finally a Chinese with common sense.
"finally"? were you blind or something?
what a shameless thing happened in china....
Lol. China makes their own anime by just copying Japanese anime and changing it in subtle ways huh? China fails.
This is nothing. I've seen from my own two eyes how they were painting Van Gogh's Sunflowers in mass production in a closed room. Only 20 minutes for one. There were like 4 guys painting and one guy even said that he could draw it with closed eyes by now.
Guess China doesn't allow any creativity at all, because these guys were pretty skilled. Copy/pasta is easier.
Trust me,every Chinese with conscience hate and protest that.
Hey, you'd better get an account so we can regenize each other.
What's more, i really want to have more communion with you, in chinese of course. Just a translation here.
而且我也很想和你多聊聊,不过不是在这里,英语不好。
Lol. They already stream many popular hollywood movies before they even come out in theaters anywayz. I'm pretty sure China doesn't give a damn about copyright. It's not like they could create something original anywayz :p
I have no more words for china after seeing this........SHAME ON YOU
China, taking the world over, 1 picture and 1 copyright at a time. We better start learning read and speak Mandarin now.
china is a shame to begin with!!
/facepalm OMG, seriously, China? Why can't we all just forget the fucking past and get along?! God! I'm Chinese and seeing this shit makes me lose my respect for china. >:(
It's not because of the Japanese occupation history that they decided to plagiarized Japan's stuffs just to piss them of, it's most likely has something to do with the fact that they hardly have authentic creativity (anymore) and their ignorance towards plagiarism. Heck, i bet there are already countless Disney rip-off cartoons in their local TVs.
"this shit makes me lose my respect for china"
Did you ever had respect for China in teh first place? - LOL
Well, for me they might be proud of only one thing -> awesome GIRLS :)
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/08/15/nice-jugs-8th-china-international-ceramics-expo/
China - Taking things from Japan and calling it their own.
Times like this makes me want to out People from the Communist party in a box...
king eight egg china
lol hahahahahaha good one
its written in english but only chinese reader would understand!
reminds me of how american think Transformers are an American thing
It partially is. While Transformers owes it's origins to a Japanese toy line, the franchise wouldn't be what it is today if Hasbro (US-based) bought the license and everything.
Plus the transformers cartoon series was written by the US and animated by Japan.
More like a joint effort. Not full Japanese. Not full US.
Correction: ...if Hasbro had not bought the license...
Well...if they're going to just glaze over the original scenes they may as well save money and just dub over the voicing and use the original animation.
Plagarism...if you're going to do it, do it right.
lazy bastards
wont they get shit for obvious plagiarism?
The Japanese stole many aspects of their culture, language, and religion from the Chinese.
Fair is fair, no?
Not really, special since the religion in japan is still shinto which is about seeing in everything something godlike. Also the language is completely different, the culture itself included.
What about Buddhism (yeah, I know it's originally from India, but it was its Chinese version which was introduced to Japan) and Confucianism influencing their culture and government? As for language, where do you think kanji came from?
Not really, buddismn doesn't really exist in japan. Besides that language and letters are not the same thing, there where signs like at the chinese and japanese spelling existing in another language thought.
WHAT?! Saying Buddhism doesn't exist in Japan is like saying Catholicism doesn't exist in Mexico.
Wait whut? How can some religions from other country to appear and practiced in other country considered as rip-offs? So if i'm a Christian in Malaysia, does that make me a rip-off of Spanish, Portuguese or whatever major Christian country out there?
Please keep in mind that cultural influence and tracing someone else's works of art and make them as theirs (especially in these modern days) are two different things,lad.
Well, we can safely say, the porcelains are stolen from Chinese by European Missionaries... they use the guise as a religious missionaries and sold the secrets for profit for themselves.
They are no better than business spy. So what Chinese are doing now are nothing new or should be ashamed of really. Money can make a demon pushes the mills...plus it's American that benefits most from Chinese goods, or you can pull premium for household items make by Americans.
I for one, would never trust any American Cars.even though it's made in American. It has to do with the companies managements and the process, otherwise why would we have to limit ourselves to how many fish we can eat from S.F. bay because we might get mercury poisoning?
also silk^

Troll harder.
Well, the Japanese were barbaric then and was barbaric as late as the Twentieth century's
And China is still barbaric now....
But a new era of barbarism begins with the invention of internet where previously ignorant people, in the bottom of the well frogs can now safely hidden behind a computer screen and spread they ignorant rants and trolls because they don't have to taken any responsibilities for it.
Chinese and Japanese barbaric? So in the height of so called European Civilization in the 19th Century, they would go invade another country's capital, and burn Beijing 's palace and garden for 8 days and ransacks and destroying priceless relics and work of art.
Very civilized indeed...Not that those who trolled cared. They live in their little world of ignorant illusion and half-based opinion of their own superiority.
From what I could tell. In the Chinese discussion board regarding to this matter turned into the predictable "They invaded us back in the days, so this is okay." circle jerking. *yawn
Why does china always do noticably crappy imitation goods? Its like noticably crappy imitation is how they roll.
at least they can do is a 1:1 perfect imitation.
I mean they should at least try a 1:1 perfect imitation.
sue the bitches
I feel embarrassed for being Chinese after this.
Same here.
same here as well.
I did have some respect for China. As a matter of fact, I've been there a few times. The people were nice, the food was okay but after seeing all the racist shit and plagiarizing stuff, I began to lose my respect. I really fail to understand why we can't let go of the past. We may be in 2009, but people still act like we are in the 1940's.
Well, at least we remember our past..did you know the British burned white house during the war of 1812? While I don't dislike foreigner, (from my perspectives anyway, what mean you...Europeans and Americans)...I've seem good people but I've also seem bad ones..when ever some one bring it up as mere history and should just let go..that just means you do not understand your own as well as other's history.
I think violating copy right is such a small violation compare to destroying other people's cultural artifacts, and burning and ransack other people's capital like the French and British done in the 1860s....
heck like I post before, the European Missionaries stole the secrets of making porcelain from Chinese using underhand tactics.
And I haven't even begin on explosive and paper yet, should the Chinese gets copy right protection from these????
you could argue they are different formula from original and you guys perfects it...but in many ways, when Chinese copy stuff, they add their own ingenuity into it. I've seem some pretty crazy looking cell phones in china...It's not a 100% copied..so what's your problem?
What the fuck is up this thinking of yours, china anon guy?The british burned the white house in 1812?So what?Cultural artifacts get destroyed all the time throughout history.What about when Gengis Khan conquered china?Why don't you go destroy mongolia right now?You don't understand the basic concepts of copyright at all and talk about shit from the past when copyright never existed in the first place.This dumbass mentality is why I am embarrassed so acknowledge my chinese heritage sometimes.
Oi, you got a point there. Being put together with pack of idiots make no one feel at ease.
That dude that 2ch made quit should work for them.
No actually most people there feel ashamed of what the Chinese animators are doing. I understand Chinese so I know.
I agree with both, because I have seen both.
Right now the majority of the people there are feeling ashamed because this anime hasn't accumulated any fans. Otherwise, there would have been idiots who say "They invaded us back in the days, so this is okay", "The company did a great job putting all this wonderful art into one show", "Makoto Shinkai isn't famous at all", "Makoto Shinkai should be grateful that the Chinese company decided to use his drawings."
One thing for sure, the smart ones and clear-minded ones know this is so wrong. But seriously CCTV, being a State television station, you are practically insulting people's intelligence.
I don't like how these comments have ended up.
Yes, this is very shameless and to many artists insulting plagiarism. But please avoid blanket terms for the chinese people or China in general. There are probably 2 or 3 half brained execs who ordered this disgrace and are responsible for it.
Exactly
So you think that the people who just sit on their asses and do nothing when they know shit happen in their homeland are innocent ??? I wonder it's ok if their tax be paid for things like this, eh ???
我日 这CCTV太垃圾了吧 瞧这抄袭的。。。几乎没改啥东西。。。
It's the CCTV...the anime lovers in China get pretty pissed off too
Every Chinese anime fans with conscience,don't be so sad,the scandal is all done by one company and Chinese communist party.AND DON'T WRITE DOWN YOUR OPINION IN CHINESE WHICH JUST SHOWS YOUR IGNORANCE.
And foreign friends,please don't regard the piracy behavior by so-called people-stand-for Communist Party as the opinion from ordinary Chinese with conscience.
If this were an exception, then one could say it was an isolated case of a small-time anime "production" company trying to con state funds.
However, we all know that "entrepreneurism" in China typically involves imitation at best or outright copying of other people's work. This could be the Hongqi (Redflag) official limousines which look so much like Lexuses, the "Buckstar" coffee shops and "Pizza Huh", or even the numerous shops around Shenzhen selling counterfeit Gucci or Loius Vuitton. Just take a look at the Meizu8 and the Iphone for example.
That's not to say that Taiwan and Japan didn't do the same thing back in the 80s and 50s respectively, which is just about the only reason that the Chinese can probably throw up at the moment. At some point in time however that excuse will get pretty old.

Seriously, wtf?! O.o
使用Google翻译的天朝不明真相群众,纯粹打酱油路过三卡裤~~~
不要路过啊,英语站就用英语说话,用汉语说是不尊重别人,要被bs的。(the Chinese sentence is to remind the one not to write down in Chinese among sankaku netsite)
Same thing, only with longer skirts.
Lawsuits. The fastest way to earn money.
Shinkai will have some dough coming his way.
it's not copying as long as they use the location as a reference
try finding some photographic proof that such locations exist in China then...
I am Chinese and clicked on this post to state my displeasure about having my country singled out by your blog until I saw all the comparison pictures. now i'm kind of just sad.
seriously shameful.
I too support China in many ways, but it's at times like this where I frankly feel embarrassed.
Friends,don't be shame that‘s not done by us, Chinese with conscience.
And I just reiterate to all foreign friends,don't loss your confidence in ordinary Chinese.The scandal is due to government.If you really konw China,I mean,the Chinese government nowadays is not standing for its people.
We want to change,we want to burn them down,we want to show a clean China to world.But,for the Party regard itself as GOD,yes,they control and rule everything.
I feel hopefulless for my weakness.As an ordanary people in China,just like a bird in cage which is likely impossible to be broken.
yeah, i agree with u, but u kno what, u CAN'T blame government for a goddamn anime
you can if it's an oppresive government, and I'm glad there's chinese people who realize how wrong things like these are
we should do our part and stop insulting them in general
好热闹呀
lmao why is it that everytime i see something assiciated with china i can always expect to see 250+ comments with 3/4 of them being hate comments ? xD
because they always do overboard board things that really get people annoyed. Just like now, they defiled and copy_and_paste Makoto Shinkai's divine 5cm per second, ripped/plagiarised/copied his work and now is proclaiming it as their own! that is very annoying right?
Jesus fucking christ. I can't believe they can get away with this.
压力(-_-b)
Yeah, like your average chinese has seen 5cm per second. Obviously, they don't care less.
well what a party,,,
lol,
long time no see, SCcommoners,,
guys calling to burn down the governer, just calm down, you know nothing about politics so just shut the fuck up,
copy/pirate/mimic/plagiarize(whetever you call it) is the best thing to do before you're capable of creating things your own,,this is true for any learning progress,
so the copy in today is just the mother for tomorrow's creativity
so just calm the fuck down before fire your fuck out,and watch
lol

Acturally,we have waited too much time and given them most sufficient chances.Yes,perhaps i really know nothing about politics and being out of control somehow.Just don't mention that,= =|||
In fact,we Chinese never lack creativity,some anime works(as well as some other things) made by some anime university graduantes are all directed by themselves and very special in virtuosities.
This is also a kind of bad side-effect by the copy scandal,I mean,making foreign friends take our lacks of creativity for granted.
别给我扯什么"已经有创造力",就算你有创造力没有基本功等于0,牛顿不学基本代数能弄出3定律么,,,
现在的中国还是老老实实的copy吧,山寨才是王道
Newton would never invent/discover his theories before mastering basic maths, so just get the creativity shit out here,,for now, and do the copy diligently,,,
btw im chinese from mainland,囧
So you come from the mainland eh? Guess the government there make a nice work with your head so no wonder why it's full of shit.
that must be a nice work since
looking at you just made me feel mercifully blessed and relieved that i came from the mainland,not your place
Only China...
*Mandarin facewall*
Japanese quality is better too...
ah well, i'll still watch it anyway
They have no shames do they.
China....sigh them again -.-
Well they don't have a damn shame those bastards! No like japanese animes? They copy them at 100% and claim it's them who did it! Yeah right! CHINA QUALITY!
All of these comments are fucken hilarious when you read them with a chinese accent...
No A faka U! China Quality! 2 dolla! no MORE!!!
Die..die your sister!
It's the critical that the limition between the copy and copycat
