One of Disneys new characters on some show called Fire Ball. Looks like its Disneys turn to steal character designs -> Hatsune Miku. Check out the pose and the way the legs are done too.
i can see the similarities but lets face it, twintails are a hot design item for character creation these days. something to do with all those loli-lovers. I was thinking of XJ9 as i saw that pic, but thats another studio.
I agree; I see more XJ9 in that design than Miku. Then again, most designs with pigtailed characters all look the same to me. ^_^;
Will that one be a tsundere then? LOL.
tsundere in a disney show? ^^;; is disney trying to grab otakus as their new market now LOL
Ha ha, you know, untapped market clientèle... The otaku culture understood that one clearly, so yes, I think it entered their minds.
Miku did not invent pigtails.
Does have some similarities, but it might be coincidental. Or maybe they used Hatsune as a reference.
While I'm thinking about it, when I saw the robot in the background, Planetarium and the "fiddler crab" came to mind.
I was about to say "Reaverbot" from the Megaman Legends series, but that would become too much of a bashing. ^^
I could see that too, but yeah I agree with you on the "end up bashing" part.
Are you guys kidding? This is Hatsune Miko android version. I mean, take that pic without the text... instant recognition. Well, at least for me.
she looks similar to hatsune miku but it doesn't look like she's a ripoff of her, it looks more like she was just based on the same moe cliches that hatsune miku was. if it wasn't for the long tails and the pose there'd really be no similarity at all. personally i think she looks totally awesome, like a loli version of takahashi ft, and it'll be a real crime if someone doesn't do an articulated figure of her.
While saying that she just has the twintails and that's it, I believe that comparing both girls' silouttes (sp?) makes it pretty obvious that it's a clone. Specially because right now Miku's so big that anyone would know to avoid a similar design because everyone will see as a copy and paste.
They look dang too similar to be a mere coincidence. To elaborate on that: Fire Ball's character = Hatsune Miku's twintails and pose Plus Roll's (Megaman) legs and dress Plus Candy's (The King of Fighters 2000) face. Original? Don't make me laugh. And I hope it's not a robotic pantsu I spot here.
seems like it
So Disney would advocate pantsu now? Ah ha ha ha... *Suddenly gasps like a goldfish out of water*
Seeing from this pantsu shot, Disney animation seems to have become increasingly influenced by Japanese animation, so.. Perhaps they might start producing anime in the future? ^^
It'll be pretty fun trying to find out which japanese cartoon they copied off from.
BUSTED! Seriously though, that looks like some copyrighting work right there, could be some trouble. Sue their asses, I always say!
Suing them won't do anything since Fireball, as similar as she is to the characters, is still an "original" design. Unless she has a SD Version that wields a leek and dances to Levan Polka. >_<
i guess these day you can just copy off a cartoon character and say that it's an original and get away with it.
Do all you want disney...someday you will get sue ....buwahahahaah....cough...cough
They're just following suit of everyone out there, and taking advantage of an establish character and trying to make a profit off of it. I hope it fails, so people dont do it anymore. And do people even watch disney stuff in Japan? Id think thered be enough other thigns to watch, and i dont remember seein anything disney (atleast big) when i was there.
the color of the eyes is the color of miku
Lets face it, the Disney creative well driied up years ago. They have been copying Japanese anime for years now. (Lion King, Atlantis, etc...)
actually, anime derived from inspiration of disney films during WWII. Creator of Astro boy (the father of manga) was highly influenced. Look it up, you'd be surprised.
Darn you Disney....don't even dare to mess with Miku...How dare you!!! Gahhhhhhh!!!!! My expression..... http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/animekurabu/imgs/7/e/7e136348.jpg
lolololol
OH SHI- http://galeanthropy.com/junk/sailorhatsune.jpg
In before a Tama-nee comparison LOL
Lol, nice one!
Hmm? What's up with the extra goodies at the end of the URL for Disney site? ?hbx.hrf=http://www.google.co.jp/
LMAO so wil they sue disney then. because if they do . i would really love to be at the scene raising my foam board that says " BYE BYE DISNEY"
Kimba = Simba? no way!!!
LOL Disney don't know if this just a coincidence or Disney is waiting for a lawsuit lol
I didn't know Disney had been taken over by the Chinese...@.@
Hmm...first character came to mind was Roll from megaman. I think it's just a coincidence. That character design hatsune is based from is just too common these days.
LOL... Robotic pantsu...
does the cyborg sing too?
It's a coincidence, a coincidence. But that vehicle behind sorta reminds me of a bulldozer...
Ammmm, it's pretty much the same basic. I wonder if they really used Miku as a reference, would be cool to know.
This is what a robot Miku should look like srsly http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/9067/1205608790712ds4.jpg
Fantastic artwork there. "Vocalo Gundam"
There are quite a few similarities lol. They probably didnt do it completely intentionally....probably.... lol
Now I understand why UNICEF wants to ban any depictions of underage or underage looking characters from Japanese mangas and animes. It's a move that favors Disney, which allows them to penetrate the Japanese market with their crappy shows and profit a lot from it. HOLY SHAT CONSPIRACY GET!
Disney's been doing that for years. Look at the Lion king vs Jungle emporer leo. Its pretty pathetic because if anybody does anything remotely close to disney they sue the crap out of them...they call it "disneying you" Disney is like the evil empire of animation. I really wish studio Ghibli wouldn't have partnered with them for DVD's.
It's gonna be a joke. =(
ive been ANTI-Disney for years they never come up with there own stuf and just duplicate others ideas just to claim as thir own and the last thing we need is them trying to take over the anime markets in japan or annywhere to be honest i mean look at the finding nemo case disney pretty much tried to sue the origial author theyve done it to one of my favorite shows bubu-chacha and copied the design of chacha and put it on a smartass racing car "lighning" McQueen from "thier" film cars. http://youtube.com/watch?v=JhT9wDEkbFE WE MUST STOP DISNEY FROM DESTROYING ANIME FOR EVERYONE!!!!!
Oh you know, they have made their own interpretation of fairy tales but Charles Perrault, the Grimm Brothers, Andersen and many, many others are long way dead already. If they were to be living nowadays and knowing about intellectual property and the art of suing, there would have been pretty trials. ^^
they may have made their own interpretation of fairy tales in the past but from some great authors but now they have run out of thier own ideas now theyve began to leach other peoples stories and claiming them to be thier own i mean all they seem to care about these days is the moneyand gaiining "loyal" fans... . think of it as the terminator theory but with animation companies exept theres no time travel involved and disney IS the terminator
Yes, it has turned into some sort of civil war... Life can be so sad sometimes.
Hmm.. practically the same pose, the three major colors used are quite similar to eachother, similar hair, coincidence?
That has lil' resemblance. Don't fall for that plain machine. Its like buying a car with no wheels, no top and no engine, but this is... Hatsune Miku V2: http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b176/MapleStoryG/HatsuneEdit.jpg Powered by a internal AA battery and sings for your ears only. It can drive you anywhere near nuts that you won't have to have a car to have this. Bukake proof, water proof, and 5 year warranty. Retail price is £69,5000,59.99. Only one available.
Niiiiiiiiiiiiice! But unless she sings, dances and whacks people/deflects bullets and missiles with her leek... I don't see the point in that one.
really look alike... but 1st character come to my mind was from the Sonic(if didnt compare to the Miku).
