So, Akira is like Simon (Gurren Lagann) or that guy from MHA (haven’t watched that, so I don’t know his name), Kencho is like Kamina (Gurren Lagann) and… And that foreigner girl looks like the one I generated through MidJourney using the prompt “blonde female, linear anime” (also, kinda reminds me of Sena from Haganai).

Anyone else like that in this show?

Btw, not hating, but it’s just too difficult for me not to draw parallels.

what you are referring it's uniformisation in character design because it's not the same animators who do all the scenes so character designer uniformise details if you dig deep enough you see it everywhere. it's a common occurrence in a industry like that. best example look at how many kirito wannabe exist and SAO it's only 11 years old.

Yeah, right, but in this case it applies to their personalities as well (not sure about MHA, but everything else matches pretty much).

An example of what you said would be David from Cyberpunk and Makina from Gurren Lagann, who look almost the same (except for the hair color pretty much) but have quite different personalities.

And, right, I’m not very familiar with how the industry works, so I might be wrong.

You're the first one to ever notice something like that!

God you're so unique. Wow that is interesting. Never thought of that.

Damn, you should totally share more of these inane, attention hungry thoughts of yours.



Ugh...what a fruit you are 🙄

Yeah, yeah, sarcasm and whatever. You’ve pretty unique yourself, you smart boy.

Nevertheless, fact remains a fact that there’s been a reuse of characters.

Deku is from My Hero Academia, if you haven't watched it, do so, it's already picking up the endgame

The more anime I watch, the more I see characters that reminds me strongly of other characters. Same with real life too, though. I'm always meeting people who are super similar to people I've already known

That isn't a reuse in characters
That's just similar artstyle / body proportions (for example the eyes or the stature)

If we're gonna say that's reuse, then we might as well also point out the 100 other similar characters😭 /hj

You can call it however you want, and I’ve never said that it’s a bad thing. After all, it helps produce anime faster and saves the animators some dirty work, so from that perspective it’s not a bad thing.

Very true about 100 other characters, though.

@RudeRedis

That's right! You're spittin' hard facts, in here.

This is NOT some self important, generic, Normi-Babbling. You tell it like it is! We just can't handle it. Truth seeker 🤡

Actually, the only one who “can’t handle this” over here is you. Everyone else seems to be fine. So don’t extrapolate your schizophrenia to others.

True. The couple of people that answered, in here were all telling you that you're wrong. Soooo therefore.....you're uhm...presenting the truth and there's nothing wrong with your "facts"

Yup. That sounds about right. My bad^^

Their personalities match with most protagonists from an anime in an action genre.

At the moment I'm watching episode 4, and it occurred to me that Akira is like Simon and Kencho reminds me of Kamina, so I decided to look on the internet to see if I'm not the only one who thinks that, so I'm not the only one :)
