Bleach plagiarism?

Nick Simmons' response:

“Like most artists I am inspired by work I admire. There are certain similarities between some of my work and the work of others. This was simply meant as an homage to artists I respect, and I definitely want to apologize to any Manga fans or fellow Manga artists who feel I went too far. My inspirations reflect the fact that certain fundamental imagery is common to all Manga. This is the nature of the medium.

“I am a big fan of Bleach, as well as other Manga titles. And I am certainly sorry if anyone was offended or upset by what they perceive to be the similarity between my work and the work of artists that I admire and who inspire me.”

That sucks but Pixar's CGI films? FTW! I love Frozone of The Incredibles.

Indeed. There's a reason Disney absorbed Pixar. They were out magic-ing Disney.

Nick Simmons' response:

Homage, eh? Well, his comic book career is over.

Well still, plagiarizing stuffs from others is considered a CRIME but if it was made for tribute purposes, at least he should go to Tite Kubo straight and ask permission to have some of the frames of his works be duplicated and thus make him be informed in this plot. It is like Mr. K made a manga who copied Mr. E's work without Mr. E's knowledge. This is a big crime worth for a Sentai Blast and a Rider Kick.

Which made Pixar in general awesome. I wished Disney alone could've been a lot resourceful to themselves and could do something out of nothing which is as good as of anything epic. Jeez, I could've been a Disney fan forever minus what they did to Power Rangers.

It had been such a long time since Disney felt the magic. Then Pixar came along. Disney just had to have Pixar inside it. Then one day Disney stuffed 7 billion in singles down Pixar's blouse. Disney took Pixar back to his castle. And that's how UP was born.

The remastered version in terms of graphics is a lot better than the ones in the past but the past had nothing that goofy with the openings and those "PAK! KAPOW! WHACK! ETC". You know what I mean.

I hope Gene has some torture devices...

And I hope Kubo is OK and not popping blood vessels.

He's not. He made a couple comments on Twitter. One of which was along the lines of "Nick Simmons does comics?"
