Well, sub_divided, it looks like we've hit Anime News Network with the Samurai Zombie thing.

Wow. You are internet-famous! No way Tokyopop will be missing it now.

I love the person who totally ignored the frame-by-frame comparison and said that it was unprofessional to use anything posted on LJ as a source, and accused sub_divided of having a personal vendetta against the artist.

Wonder if that guy is the artist's sockpuppet?

Hurray!

Yep. I saw that this morning. I guess some people are getting pissed now because tokyopop isn't pulling the submission. (Maybe even bad publicity is publicity.) I am just mad because it means someone (no one specifically) else's original submission didn't make it.

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO LINK THE POST WITH THE LOVELESS VIDEO IN IT WRRRYYYYYY.

*hyperventilates*

...okay, I'm calm. XD It's my own for combining topics like that anyway.

What really surprises me is that there don't seem to be any other posts doing first-hand comparisons, it's all links that link to other links that link back to the same five panels you and I found. I really thought there'd be other people posting independently on this, it's such a controversial (hot) topic.

Here's a funny: the last page of "Samurai Zombie" and a mocked up version of same using nothing but Samura's artwork. I just couldn't STOP myself... :D

The forum on ANN is making me headdesk. People arguing about the source being an LJ. Then people saying that it's NOT plagiarism because they're "not identical"...I see. So, in that case, if you copy something BADLY Then it's not plagiarism either? I'm not feeding the wank by responding, but some of those people are just idiots. -_-

What with all this Blade of the Immortal art being tossed around, I'm thinking of buying volume 1 so I can drool on that instead of on my keyboard. I've never read BOTI, despite the good reputation, because it's not my style--but that is reeeeeeeally nice art.

Sorry, I infected my home team at Dark Horse with your dose of reality.
Madame_Manga caught up with us all ready, thanks for posting. ^_-

This is just, humiliating...
