Fairy Tail
-
Didn't the creator of Rave Master work along side Oda as an assistant under Nobuhiro Watsuki? At least that's what I read once when someone compared these two's art style.
-
I'm sorry but your pulling stuff out of your butt here. The main guy looks nearly like Haru from rave,the "zoro" look alike looks alot more like Ichigo from bleach. The blonde chick looks like the main lead from rave. The white hair chick and the big guy, how the hell is that supposed to work. Those look nothing like Ussop and Chopper, unless you want to switch big nose with big boobs? Gasp! a main character that eats alot, that's been around since toriyama. Looks more to me that he is using the same design and style of his previous work, Rave.

No I think (enter rave's manga ka name here) said that he jumped right to a manga-ka and to an assitant.
Also what is plue doing in that fairy tale manga. Also whats it about. It's look intresting. I loved rave so this might be fun as well.
Also I dont really think its a rip off.

FYI, I didn't put the names on there.

Uuuuuhhhhh then why did you post the picture? You made it seem like it was your point…
-
What is this manga about.

I read somewhere that Hiro Mashima went straight into making manga.

Same here.
Also I dont really think its a rip off.
I think I can possibly see some simularities between the characters, but when I saw the "Chopper", I thought more of Smoker. The "Sanji" looks like a merger of Haru and Musica from Rave Master, the "Nami" makes me think more of a blond haired Elie (like someone already said this), and I agree that the Zoro looks more like Ichigo than Zoro.
However if he has perhaps borrowed an idea or two from Oda, why is that a bad thing? After all, both Oda and Masashi Kishimoto borrowed ideas from Akira. If anything, I feel Hiro is honouring Oda's work by possibly borrowing a few ideas.
-
I don't think it's a ripoff but I gotta say I can definately see the similarites. But it looks somewhat intresting (couldn't really get into to Rave Master). I may have to give this Bleach Piece series a try. What is the story about?
-
I'm guessing this has something to do with mercenaries (hence the Mercenary wanted posters). That latest pic seems much more reasonable than the first pic.
-
Damn, they used my simple idea for mercenaries before I got to . Oh well, do these characters have powers or is this fairly realistic. Also, are there any English scanlation of this series?
-
Fairy Tale looks inspiring, will someone tell what's the story about?
-
I don't think it's a ripoff, it's just that whatshisname has a very similair style to Oda, you could already see that in Rave. It's the way he draws, it looks a lot like Oda's, so what? Of course some characters will look like some others, if the drawing style is so similair…
Ever wondered why there so many OP characters that just happen to look like other OP characters?
It's the same with every manga...just look at Inuyasha, which also features, at least by their looks, all the characters we liked in Ranma and I wouldn't say Takahashi was ripping off herself or something like that. -
Anybody know the story of this series yet? I see some potential in this Fairy Tail series. Hopefully it will be good.
-
Wow I do see the similarities, but that chicks got nothing on Robin.
Looks interesting. I might check it out sometime. -
Yeah, the art looks a lot like Oda's, but the characters themselves have nothing to do with One Piece ones. That's quite retarded comparisons they're making here.
-
The art looks nothing like Oda's sure it has an array of people and creatures, but Oda doesn't use sharp lines anywhere near to Hiro's degree.
-
it does look similar to Oda's work… but there's nothing wrong with that, i wouldn't say its a rip off (if it is, then most anime is a ripoff of another since there are TONS that look like the same cookie-cutter bs)
if anything, Oda coulda been an inspiration for the artist...?
besides, this looks interesting, i do like the character designs so far
-
I just read the chapter. It's pretty interesting. KEFI might pick it up as a new project :) (Will I be able to handle it?)
-
YES YES! Kefi can do it.
-
I can only see That Luffy dude as well luffy and the guy with no shirt as ace and the guy with goggles as Ichigo.Though thats about it.I dont think its a rip off.Looks very promising
-
Hmmm… well, perhaps if I knew what the manga was about, then maybe I'd consider it a rip off, but I can see where you're going with this (I never did like Rave Master anyway)
But if it has the same weirdness and copies from the crazy moves/fighting, I'd consider it a rip off. Although I see some of the characters look like the One Piece crew/Bleach characters, I won't judge the manga by the characters alone.
-
No, no. It's totally original. This guy is a god. First the Rave shit and now this. I mean, who could come up with something like this: http://img373.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1154635255961tl7.jpg. Not Oda, I say.

Do you (or anyone else) have a link to the raw, please? I'd like to read it.
Thanks!
-
I'm guessing it has something to do with sorcerers and the main guy can eat magic and spit it back out at people. I agree that it looks interesting, and at the very least the fanservice should be nice…
-

My thoughts exactly.
-
The thing that annoys me is that the Luffy Guy eats too much. We all ready have those. Goku and Luffy. It's kinda getting repetitive.
-
That looks really similar to OP in terms of art…
I wonder how Oda would react to seeing this...
-
^ He'd probably be flattered.
To the non-Rave reading eye, this does look alot like OP's style.
-
When I first looked at it I was like "OMFG!!" now I think I might start reading it. Rave Master was okay, lots of boobs and panties. XD Anyways….Hope ODA is okay with this.

Interview with Oda in COMICKERS, October 1998
Q: Do you feel anything against being influenced by someone? A: Not at all. Of course, you shouldn't be a copycat, but you can't help getting influenced by someone else. I think it's a matter of how you take it in and evolve it as part of your own style.
So yeah. Hoping that 8 years hasn't changed his opinion drastically, I take it that would be his reply.
-
Moved the thread to General Manga…
Some points I noticed - his sense of humor is somewhat similar to Oda's.
/me likes. -
Ok can someone make a summery about the story please.
-
So far the only information I have about the plot is a boy and girl, both gifted in magic going off to join an elite magic school.
-
I hope this series is good because the idea of using magic doesn't always work out. And is it me or is info on this series hard to find?
-
Well I think only one chapter has been released and I didn't even know Hiro had finished his previous series (after finishing Rave he did another series about Monsters which apparently ended earlier this year).
-
No, no. It's totally original. This guy is a god. First the Rave shit and now this. I mean, who could come up with something like this: http://img373.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1154635255961tl7.jpg. Not Oda, I say.
Although it's obvious to us OP fans that it doesn't look a LOT like One Piece, the guy looks like he's stretching his arm while he eats.
And it doesn't seem all that interesting either…how many shounen are we gonna get where a food-scarfing boy meets a girl and they have big dreams...? And merceneries usually are anarchists, a key element in OP.
-
Don't think its a ripoff at all, artwork looks like Oda but with his own twist to it, looks really good!
I never really got into Rave but this looks interesting.
-
I've always felt this guy ripped from Oda's art style….and that he was an untalented hack.
Looks like more Rave....
And one was enough. -

And one was enough.Oh noes rip off! I wonder how Toriyama fanboys thin "oh here's this kid eating alot of food. Who's the dickhead copying off toriyama sensei. Damn, they even have fighting, major rip off. Can't anybody come up with something original?????"
Come on bud, we all know you hate rave. The only thing it has incommon are different style of characters and them adventuring around. there are bigger rip offs like Naruto taking Hunter X Hunter elements. The art isn't even similair, Hiro uses sharp lines. Oda's art is alot more circular. hey, even if it is somehow copying, why not copy from the best?
-

Because then everybody knows you're copying.
Anyway, I saw the RAW (didn't understand it) but it didn't look like any sort of ripoff.
-
Aye. According to Wikipedia, Masashi Kishimoto (manga-ka of Naruto) has a brother who has a similar artwork to him (obviously cause they're brothers). The Narutards apparently constantly accuse him of stealing Kish's art style.

Art style has nothing to do with technical drawing.
Theres just a similer basic look.And I never said anything else in regards to ripping off of One Piece, aside from the fact that Rave is unimaginative pap that any writer worth thier salt could hack out of thier mouths on a tight deadline.
Did I hit a nerve?
-
Naruto ripped off the elements? Yeah ok. Elements have been in many cartoons and manga for a long time. But yeah the test was similiar.
The art work looks like one piece to me but art is subjective. And can you really help what style you have when you draw?
-

I'm not talking about elements, but story elements like kurapika/sasuke, hunter exam/chuunin, nen/chakra manipulation, gon kullia's realtionship/naruto and sasuke's.
Zephos-never said anything in regards ot it ripping of how about when you said you always felt it copied off oda's artwork?

This post is deleted!

lol oops. Well be more clear next time. J/k.
to zephos: Is there an actual manga you hate more than Naruto? lol. I have to check this rave out one day.
