China’s top state run broadcaster is being accused of plagiarising elements of Pokémon and Naruto in its latest children’s anime, not long after it was discovered to have shamelessly copied 5cm Per Second wholesale; the broadcaster obstinately denies the charges, saying there is a difference between “plagiarism” and “imitation.”

Chinese Central Television (or CCTV), under the direct control of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Propaganda Department, recently began airing 恐龙宝贝之龙神勇士, loosely “Dinosaur Baby Holy Heroes,” but Chinese anime fans soon spotted the fact that the anime was copying character designs, story and music from a variety of Japanese anime, most notably Pokémon, Digimon and Naruto.

The director of CCTV’s Children’s Channel was soon confronted over the issue, but he angrily denied all wrong-doing, saying it was a matter for the studio responsible, and then asking those doubting the work to “consider the difference between imitation and plagiarism.”

With the government having banned non-Chinese anime from TV due to fear of foreign influences and to foster homegrown anime, domestic producers have struggled to satisfy demand, generally producing anime of very low quality, loathed by many Chinese for its highly propagandistic nature.

This difficult position, coupled with the lack of respect for copyright the mainland is notorious for, seems to have led many studios to simply plagiarise Japanese anime, frequently passing it off as “100% domestic,” and often doing so in direct collusion with the state.

    Of course this stuff is bad, but who can stand to watch American cartoons without squirming and looking for escape? Yes, U.S. cartoons are original, but what does it help?
    Chinese can have their stuff for inland broadcasting only, they can`t sell this abroad. If they want to export, they have to improve their quality a lot, come with original material and to achieve that more freedom of expression is needed.

    I disagree with that. The manner in things are presented are different. When all you do is just take a storyline and copy the manner in which it is presented, that is not creative.
    If you do so and do it in a different manner, it is.

    It's kinda like sex and doing it differently each time. Or if you like manga more, different arcs.

    I suppose one example of the Chinese doing this was their "Hero" film. But then they keep overusing wire in the 'big' films to the extent that you can actually see the wires.

    And yes its controlled by the gouverment, but this case is in every country so.

    Can't expect less from a country that has a government that hates Japanese anime but allows their people to "make" their own versions.

    Sadly, Toei Animation and Nintendo can only NOT give a damn as there are still differences to the character designs no matter how similar they are to the original.

    It would be great though, if our Chinese friends over there would actually reject that dumb excuse for a cartoon.

    I'm pretty sure they banned foreign Anime not for fear of foreign influence, (Which is a silly idea to propose, considering where such Anime might be viewed in the first place.), but because the government wants artists to come up with their own ideas.

    This is of course doomed to failure as the government hasn't quite realized creativity doesn't exist in a vacuum. Just as Japanese Anime itself was built from a rip on certain styles of Western cartoons, prospective Chinese animators need to be exposed to this foreign stuff as well, and eventually learn build from it.

    Protectionism can help a child industry by inhibiting/reducing competition from overseas.. hence the home industry can steadily grow..

    its just that with the vastness of the internet its impossible for most Chinese kids to ignore the existence of the Japanese industry...

    and.. it's not like they are bad storytellers/stupid.. I could list many great modern Chinese stories off the top of my head..

    it's just hard to create a good anime.. with all the limitations.. i.e. censorship..

    the art is just pitiful though.. >_>..
    I wonder how much the artists gets paid..

    There's a difference between imitation and plagiarism agreed. The Chinese, in general, just don't seem to be able to tell when they've crossed from one to another.

    yeah. I have a feeling that China is this really elaborate troll that deliberately wants to piss off people who are into Japanese animation/culture.

    I mean, just look at the reaction people get.

    Like... Maybe if people ignored China, China'll eventually do something by itself and it doesn't have to resort to uncreative measures.

    ...Which is hard, 'cuz China's this big country. ...And one out of five people in the world are Chinese.

    What would be awesome is if in 2,000 years in the future, people would be into Chinese culture again because of the things it ripped off from japan, much like how Anime/Manga will eventually trace its roots to Chinese ink brush paintings. And then nerds/geeks would fight over each other when future Japan rips off whatever comes from this current travesty.

    I dunno. Maybe by that time, Japan and Korea would participate in an international orgy that would give birth to a new country, bent on pissing off China. That would be awesome.

    What's sad is we all know that the chinks are fully capable of creating awesome original shits from the few impressive creations that was posted here in Sankaku before, instead of doing these cheap copies... But the nature of their present day society discourages these orignal break throughs, now they prefer the safer route of stealing ideas instead of coming up with their own.

    I'm sorry, but the name "Dinosaur Baby Holy Heros" is more offensive to the pallette than the blatant plagirism.

    But, isn't imitation a part of plagiarism? Add "calling it your own" to imitation and you got plagiarism!

    As they say on slashdot "And nothing of value was lost" or uh, plagiarized, I guess. At least it has an hilarious title.

    Honestly though, I write this up like I do anything done by, say... North Korea. I just go "Well, what the fuck ELSE are they going to do?", shrug my shoulders, and move on.

    It's kind of sad to acknowledge that China is steadily slipping into that realm of 'complete laughingstock' that North Korea inhabits, but that's just how it goes. It's getting to where everything that happens in China is some shade of crazy.

    The person who claims "Chinese anime will never sell" reminds me of people in the 60's predicting that Japanese cars/products will always be garbage. (And in even earlier times Europe joked American exports the same way)

    This anime looks like a first step in developing a sizable cartoon industry. Yeah bash them some more and you may just stimulate their perseverance to improve as they have done for many other industries.

    As a fan of Batman: The Animated Series, Futurama, Darkwing Duck and other American greats (in addition to enjoying anime, mind you), I'm going to have to kick your weeaboo ass.

    What is great on that shit? Is it because it is great shit? You can leave anime alone. You`re clearly blind or do not understand what you see because you have watched anime and still talk about that American shit.

    The Chinese animators are so jealous of the Japanese, it's not even funny. The Chinese animators should be ashamed of them self for making a ripoff of good old Anime series from the 1990's which is Pokemon and Digimon. And a series which is based on a hit Manga seies, which is Naruto. And a bunch of newer Anime series that are for children.
