Angel Beats heroine Yurihi‘s overwhelming similarity to a certain monomaniac schoolgirl now extends past simple character design and into some truly unfortunate “coincidence” courtesy of Newtype:
The text above “Newtype” reads “I’m not interested in any ordinary anime,” a clear reference to Haruhi’s catchphrase. Supposedly the text is there by coincidence rather than design.
Whatever the actual depth of similarity, the fact that nobody can shut up about it is probably a reasonable indication that Yurihi’s design should never have been accepted.
Ive been waiting for thi to happen
s♥♥t, her name is Yurihi?
That should’ve been a big indication that this anime’s a complete rip-off.
Except its Yurippe
Maybe this show is actually in production by China, or at least as a secret benefactor. Even Dinosaur Baby Holy Heroes could be contested for having more original character designs than this show.
They’re probably using lower end korean animators.
the first thing that came into my mind when I saw this girl, was haruhi
Come on!
When the game was released the developers said openly that she was highly inspired from Haruhi. There even was an article about it at Sankacom.
Why is everyone bitching about it know? We already knew she was a Haruhi-clone.
