    If you think you can plagarize a popular comic, allegedly, you're wrong since the Internet is all over.

    Someone didn't know that though. (That last sentence was the link if you don't notice upon first yawn.)

    I don't know how many people are interested but I thought it was good enough to bring up. Wonder why he chose Bleach of all things; so many better things to pick from really.

    Anyone else think copy-Orihime is still hot though?

    Disgusting. I personally have never read Incarnate or Bleach, but plagiarism is terrible. As a writer in the creative industry, I look down on the offender.

    For shame...
     
    I don't understand this, but it makes effectively made Bleach look bad to me oo;
     
    This is almost similar to that one journalist who use to work for the Daily Beast news website who resigned after he was accused of journalist plagarism
     
    Wow, the artwork is just ew. XD Not much to expect from traced artwork but... wow. Even a fanartist can do better.
     
    This is so wrong. I am sorry, but this guy needs to get sued ASAP! Why is he doing this?! Sorry being inspired is one thing, but do you think you can make your own art instead. He actually copied Kubo's style. That isn't right at all. Okay if he drew it then that is fine, but the looks of it he just traced it. :/ And he is getting money out of this?! Oh man...poor Kubo. :( I really hope he won't look down at the US after this.
     
    Yeah, the guy only got published because of who his father is. If he had just been some random artist this would have been immediately passed over as below-average, and they probably would have caught the plagiarism at the time, and given him a warning.

    Absolutely unforgivable.
     
    Things get plagarized all the time. I don't know why people seem to be more up in arms about this than any of the millions of other franchises and products that knockoffs are made of every day. You should be annoyed by those too. I guess it's a celebrity thing. But the reality is this kind of thing happens all the time. You should see all the Spiderman and Batman knockoffs I have.

    It isn't necessarily good publicity, because alot of knockoff toys and products tend to have sharp edges and small detachable objects that children can injure themselves on or even choke on. Imagine if Marvel got into trouble over a Spiderman or X-Men toy that injured a kid when it was actually just a knockoff made overseas.

    That doesn't make it right. Lots of people are killed every day, that doesn't make it okay.

    Also, there is quite the difference between borrowing themes and ideas from a work, or an artist, and what has happened here. Simmons is literally taking entire pictures, tracing them over, or getting as close to tracing as possible, and selling them as his own. People SHOULD be mad about this because it IS wrong, and it's so blatantly obvious.
     
    I wonder why he thought he could get away with this, the creator of Bleach doesn't speak english(a lot, or knows a lot), but he understands this, lol.
     
    Woah, Thats amazing how it looks Just like it and it was able to get published, Hell even some of the words are the same on the same picture! -_-
     
    Hahaha, what I find most amusing is that the publishers were okay with how terrible the art that wasn't traced is, and went ahead to publish it.

    Things like this give hope to the American public- no matter how terrible you are at drawing, you can still get published and call it "your style", even if you're copying panels from another story.
     
    It's so easy to make up an original story (even if a NOT great one) as long as you can draw like this. I just can't imagine why he is copying Bleach...
     
    Cute. Looks like he wanted to make his own super awesome shonen manga but couldn't draw, so he shopped for styles to trace and took Kubo's.
