RIP

As the old saying goes, "good artists copy, but great artists steal." That's why we see so many damn remakes, reboots, and sequels these days. Sometimes you don't even know when a movie is based on something else. Anime has served to be a huge inspiration for several big Hollywood films over the years. Here is list of 9 Anime Films That Were Ripped Off By Hollywood. 1. Inception = Paprika Christopher Nolan's story of operatives invading and stealing from a person's dream was one of the most original Hollywood blockbusters in years. But Inception owes some of that credit to the Japanese film Paprika, based on a novel by the same name. The stories differ, but Paprika was also built on the idea of misusing dream technology, breaking into patients' minds as part of a dream therapy. Nolan admitted the anime was used as inspiration for his film, even if it didn't go quite so far in bending reality.   2. Pacific Rim = Neon Genesis Evangelion In the 19

The game is titled PriPri Chi-chan!! PriPri Deco Room! The game will center on decorating rooms. In quest mode, players will use different types of "cute blocks" to fulfill room-decorating requests and earn more blocks. These blocks can then be used in creative mode to design the player's own virtual room. Players will be able to share their creations online. Shinozuka launched the ongoing Puri Puri Chii-chan!! in Shogakukan's Ciao shōjo magazine in March 2015. The fourth compiled book volume shipped on August 29. An ongoing anime anime adaptation premiered in April and Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs in Japan.

Armed with an array of body paint and brushes, Kay Pike can transform into any superhero or villain. The incredibly talented designer and model from Calgary, Canada paints on her own body to make herself look like 2D characters from TV and comics, including Marvel’s Spider-Man and Cheetara from ThunderCats. Previously a fan of dressing up for cosplay events, Kay discovered she could put her artistic skills to use in transforming her appearance - and only started bodypainting in December last year. The 28-year-old uses a water-based face paint and a special makeup to help it stick. She says she needs 10 to 15 bottles of paint to create just one character, which runs between $80 to $150. And some of her designs can take up an entire day to recreat superheroes and comic book villains on her skin, but she says she plans it that way and fully enjoys the experience.  After posting the results of her work on the Internet, she soon found her wo

Just when you thought “anime girls with boobs so big they can’t stand up” was going to walk away with the award for this week’s most exaggerated character design, here comes a new challenger. If you’re a big fan of Dragon’s Crown, you probably know that Amazon is full of muscles. But do you ever wonder what happens when you try to take that fantasy and render it in the real world? That there is Japanese figure maker Beat’s just-announced Amazon, a 1:6-scale recreation of one of the six selectable heroes in Dragon’s Crown.  The title’s swiftest and most powerful attacker, she’s described in the game as forgoing heavy armor and letting her muscular body serve as her defense. While it’s nothing new for anime and video game characters to be unrealistically busty, we can’t recall the last time we saw a figure, female or male, with such an exaggerated, frankly bizarre musculatu
