The cover of the latest release of Girls Dead Monster, the girl band featured in “Angel Beats!”, has caught the attention of music enthusiasts due to its uncanny resemblance to the cover of a famous rock album…
The album in question is Bon Jovi’s Keep The Faith, and the resemblance between the two album covers appears undeniable – the Keep The Beats! title being something of a giveaway.
Whilst some fans might call this an innocent tribute to one of the more famous rock bands of the previous century, others appear inclined to think that the show lazily filched the album cover in tribute to the creative abilities of a certain Simmons.
Whatever the case, given the performance of anime songs of late, success seems assured.
JUST SHUT UP!!!
DAME OR DAMMIT?!?
…
They also ripped off Lala from To Love Ru with Yui. That episode with her OP even had similar camera styles.
Just pointing that out.

I’ve seen the entire anime and believe me… it’s a tribute D=… they mention too many famous things such as Bob Dylan for example xD and so as the others it IS a tribute xDDDD so stop arguing lol
Definitely seems like more of an homage or in-joke than plagiarism.
Tribute. There’s nothing sneaky or underhanded about the cover.
