Does anyone care that Miyazaki stole the design of the Berserk manga?

[777]

I didn't really care about this issue, but when I looked at the analysis, 80% of the design was copied without any changes. Of course, this is presented as “Inspiration,” but when I saw the comparisons, the word “Inspiration” disappeared from me.

I've only watched the '97 anime and it was a very dark anime, and I kind of have to thank Miyazaki for that approach, but I'm worried that he won't be able to do anything outside of Berserk. Even in the DLC, a couple of monsters from the manga are visible.

So, if the manga ends, he will start stealing from other works for his games?

if you want to feel better well Dark Souls was a copy of Castlevania. A version that made you feel like you were the Belmont protagonist or one of the other that followed the Belmonts. So don't be talking about stealing works when the ones that paved the way of games before your time even before your daddy's and mommy's time when they were still beans. Elden Ring was already spoken many times from many creators that Kentaro Miuria inspired them in many ways of works of art.

People stole ideas from one another, other cultures or just stories like since mankind exists.
This is a huge part of how we evolve.

You see a nice looking well dressed guy on the street. Maybe your next thought will be:
"Hmm, I should buy some similar stuff too, maybe I will look good as him."
Will you be accused of stealing his style? Wut bruh.

Not that hard to grasp.

I...what? I played the first Castlevania on release. Sharing thematic elements doesn't make it a direct rip. If that were the case, Castlevania would be a rip of Stoker, which in turn would be a rip of old Wallachian legend, which...

Unless you've got specific 1:1 links, this feels like an attempt to be provocative absent evidence.

this post is so dumb they don't even realize old books from modern ones. Look at Lord of the Rings and its characters the year it was written, then we have a version from Harry Potter, then we have The Witcher, Warhammer, Magic the Gathering, Yugio Master of Cards, Dragon Ball Z. All told in different ways possible but people enjoyed it as we all grew up. now all I see is this BS generation of crybabies thinking they are political experts an calling every single game Woke...if your excuse is you are just BROKE TO GET IT! and now you have AiGPT telling you what to do in life...lol. you all have become so lazy and the enemy sees it and are getting ready to move forward when you do not realize it.

Tolkien's fiction was based on yet older mythologies and legends.

You've still not answered the charge on Souls being a blatant act of plagiarism of Castlevania.

You're throwing meaninglessly broad claims at a pretty narrow definition of copying vs evolution in literary/narrative design, and it's not helping your position any.

Seems that the people who posted they played only the "FIRST" Castlevania forgot about the one that Konomi failed on when trying to make a 3d version on the PS2. Here is Grandaddy of Dark Souls.

Game with Gothic literature elements in a 3D environment. Clearly, the ur-example of its type, from which all other entries were copied.

No one's arguing Souls was a wholly original work that didn't draw on existing properties for inspiration (Berserk being the most direct and obvious), but your arguments here are facile.

yeah I played it. My best friend had it he was a Sega console fanatic while I had Playstation. and we only lived 4 houses down so we both got to try all kinds of games from Sega, Nintendo, Playstation, Neo Geo, 3DO, and what my dad brings back from his tour during the Cold War and up.

Why did you bring up this topic? People wrote to me after your message, who do not know how to reason and write nonsense.

The what now? no I don't care.
