What happened to you when you went down that rabbit's hole and found out that not only does ZUN steal music from other sources but also steals visual assets from other sources as well, sometimes directly lifting a character with few modifications?

How does it feel knowing that ZUN is nothing more than a hack?

>> No.21495443

I mean, it's not like the art was ever that great or anything. It's mostly the fanbase that makes it great.
Plus I'd have to wonder what degree of "stealing" we're talking about. One person's "stealing" is another persons "inspiration".

His music is pretty conventional western interval music and it's virtually impossible to avoid "stealing" motifs which have been used before over the 300 odd years of standardized worldwide proliferation of western European music.
The fact that all his art is collage is not surprising, so is all of my art.

It isn't staggering and all artist "plagiarize" (using your frivolous definition of the word) shit. Last thread people cited songs using vaguely similar chord progression, three primary colored chibi fairies and a schoolgirl with glasses as ideas ZUN stole, so let's not bring that shit up because apparently character concepts and music theory have to be entirely unheard of creations in order for them not to be considered the work of theft. I'm not denying he didn't steal shit in his early days, but these threads devolve into complete nonsense after people have already brought up what's already been discussed.

All the shitposting stems from the fact that people think he made these things intending for them to be original. He made a lot of these when he was very young, for fun. When it's something like that, the degree to which you copy hardly matters when you're just doing it for fun.

But, once his works started garnering a following, obviously he stopped with that stuff. People started taking the series more seriously than he did, so he stepped up to that view and started taking it seriously as well. Everything since is very much ZUN's own vision.

Cirno is a side character in a manga, don't expect her hair color to be known. But if the ice powers part is correct, it would make sense for her to have blue hair or maybe that's just what ZUN assumed.
Patchouli's hair color is known because she's on the cover of volume 8, but it's no surprise considering the plant is also purple.

Music that sounds similar? Okay.
Characters inspired by other characters? Okay.

The only things I've had a problem with are >>21495446 and Sariel's magic circle as they are ZUN is literally reusing copyrighted assets. Reusing stuff that's copyrights or tracing other elements and then claiming it's all your own is NOT okay.

ZUN learned his lesson as he never mentions his PC-98 stuff and makes everything himself now. However, I fail to see how anyone can be surprised by "ZUN is inspired by stuff" after seeing the blatant reference that is Clownpiece.

This. How many people aren't aware that Super Mario Bros. 2 is just Doki Doki Panic or that the iconic Super Mario Bros. theme is actually a ripoff?

Oh my goodness, I just posted a few pics I found on google images of a character that reminded me of Yuugi. I mean their hair looks quite similar, she wears a gym uniform, and there are horned characters with similar horn placement.

I didn't mean to troll anyone and I didn't come from another thread. ZUN himself said that Yuugi had a Jojo reference to Zeppeli in an interview.

>ZUN: And she's got sake, too.
>Interviewer: Yes, and she tries to fight without spilling it.
>ZUN: Yes, she fights without spilling it. Kind of like Jojo. *laughs*
>Interviewer: I thought that looked familiar.
>ZUN: Yeeeeees. Well, I meant well by it.
>Interviewer: It really gives the impression she's got a lot of self control, doesn't it?
>ZUN: I don't know if I'd put that much meaning behind it. It's mostly supposed to show, "Oh, wow, she's really strong!"

He also said her outfit is supposed to look like a gym uniform in the same interview.

Yukari/Karen is grasping at straws since the only relation is ribbons in the long hair. Whoever compiled this image didn't do justice for his argument since that's the only related factor between them.
>The gaps were also inspired by Yumimi Mix
I'd call that grasping as well since you can see similar stuff in plenty of media.

Much better than the first compilation. I don't deny that Zun does this, just that they need to be more thorough in order to drive the point home.

Does what? Used to borrow heavily from other sources? Something he certainly doesn't do now because both he and other people take the series seriously?
