Observers can’t help but notice a curious similarity between the promotional image for the new Evangelion movie and that of an adult game due April and by “FlyingShine”.
Gratuitous sample CG follow:







The game itself certainly looks to be a quality title, and so hardly needs to be named.
The charges of plagiarism might be easier to ignore if the art were not so unschooled…
Via Ore-teki.
It's similar, but it's definitely not traced. If it were, the art might actually be good.
That's the largest number of male characters I've ever seen in a school bishoujo game.
It's a bit above average, but still nothing out of the ordinary.
Nice with some shota.
Look at the Honoo no *sei series, the latest one had.. 28? heroines? and there were no routes, you had like.. one month and you had to get them all pregnant, or game over.
Of course the game starts with you being a rare male at a former-all girls school, you sneak into a locker during physicals, and decide, that like your brother, who slept with all of his classmates, you are going a step above his legend and gettin them all pregnant!
.. yeaa..
After staring at these pictures I think the perspective might be wrong. I'm no draw/art-fag so I could be super wrong. (I meant draw-fag/art-fag in the best possible way because I like pretty things, promise. :3)
The banister in the second picture looks like it starts really high then when it gets to the top of the stairs it's kinda low. Then again, it looks like those stairs go pretty deep. If that's the case, then the guy in green pants must be pretty drat tall, then.
Bah, I'm getting so confused.
It is wrong. It looks as if the character CG are just pasted on top or traced too (similar posture),
People on stairs. Not even the same type of stairs or railings. Kinda a stretch here. Windows are commonly in stairways, or they turn into darkly lit real life ero games.
Lol@Onizuka-wannabe in the second pic
Haha, I noticed that too XD
+ he's a monster, just look at him and the others O_o
That was the first thing I noticed when I saw the second image, pretty crazy.
How odd.
The guy in the two first CG game images looks sort of like how you would expect a child to look when pulling a prank.
Anyone else now inclined to search for the synopsis, out of sheer curiousity?
The first step is as higher than the knee of the male character on the left. And the guy on the right seems to stand on the edge of the step.
They fail at proportion, perspective and shading (some characters looks like they were floating).
They are similar, but doesn't look like traced, just the stairs are similar.
It may not be traced, but I'm sure the influence is there. It's kinda like how you get all these ads that copy the ipod style. Or how you had ads that went: "Got " after the "Got Milk?" campaign.
Having some association going is usually better for an unknown brand compared to none at all.
MORONS, the poster for the new Eva movie is basically the same as the poster for EVANGELION 1.0, which was released in 2007, therefore this hentai game is COPYING EVA, not the other way around.
Fuck.
Umm ... that's exactly what the article said. You might want to work on your reading comprehension skills.
disregard that i suck cocks
Don't try this.
It still says "Eva 2.0" tho'.
Read the title fool
i pity the foo who dont know how to read
Higher-resolution versions of these images on the channel might be useful for comparison purposes.
I think it's this thing called inspiration.
Also the CG looks like crap, reminds me of mid-90's.
I wouldn't call it crap, but it does look sort of 90s, with the exception of the chibi CG which are a more recent eroge trend.
Looks more like an homage or parody than a trace to my untrained eyes.
Ok Artefact,this one has bugged me for a while:
Saying something is/has "quality" means it IS good.
If you want to express that something is bad and use "quality" ironically you type it in caps i.e. "QUALITY"
"The game itself certainly looks to be a QUALITY title..."
For regular readers, his sarcasm is already expected, there is no need to hint it.
I'm not referring to Sarcasm in general, but to the specific term "QUALITY", which he(?) simply uses incorrectly.

inb4 serious business
His sarcasm is always subtle. Typing it in caps wouldn't be right =/
From one Anonymous to another, you fail at life and everything, I don't think I need link the site
4chan has clearly outlived its usefulness.
FlyingShine, eh? Here I am still waiting for the Cross+Channel patch...
coincidence lol
One has to remember also that most schools have the same architecture and therefore the same type of stairs, so finding the same type of stairs in two images in a school setting isn't weird. However, of course, the fact some characters have the same poses at the same places on those stairs makes it clear there was at least some influence.
Does the guy in the first sample remind anybody else of the title character from the Kunio-kun games?
Oh, I see. So if NGE uses a staircase for the DVD picture nobody is allowed to use staircases anymore? grow up people NGE didn't invent the staircase so it's pointless to say someone copied it. I'm sure NGE copied it from some other anime (or from, I don't know...reality?).
But also look at the placement and poses of the characters, there lies more similarities. They both have girls with eyepatches, too.
i didn't dig the male leads.They'll look like raepists not bishonen-type.It does fail in proportion too.
kudos for the guy eating tit like a champ, though
wow they used stairs, it's totally a ripoff...
and everytime there's a silent character who dares to have blue/white hair, it's an eva ripoff, and when there's blablablahorseshitblablabla
Mabt stair cases are really popular in japan...
whatever, the character positions aren't completely copied if anything, even if there's likeness
why cant i go to images is it just me?
I had no idea stairs were copyrighted.
BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY ONE STAIRCASE LIKE THAT IN THE WORLD AMIRITE?
