This is because China and South Korea have historically banned Japanese products in the 80s and 90s until the mid 2000s or mid 2010s when the embagos were relaxed. This is why there are so many Chinese and Korean knock offs from Japanese franchises from the shows right down to the merchandise. It is understandable considering the lack of local access to Japanese products.
I feel like anime was inspired by Disney animation versus outright copying them unless there are characters or titles I'm not aware of that did do just that. Astro Boy may look similar to early Disney animation but he was an original character that Disney did not have.
People who outright duplicate other people's works always deny the obvious wrongdoing. This is the case of the creator of Astro Plan/Space Adventure. Look at that statement in the article and we can see that he's very defensive.
Theres a disney movie that was heavily inspired by anime to the point where it is practically plagiarism, look up kimba the white lion, should be obvious wat disney's ripoff of it is
I was just thinking that it would be cool if this was the lady that runs Bootleg Stuff! Then I actually learned to read and checked the title and bam whaddya know. She seems real cool, glad to see her branching out more!
I'd seen Space Black Knight many years ago on tv. Back then I don't even know anything about Gundam and this show happens to be dubbed in English. I assume it to be of Japanese origin since it's exactly look like anime like Doraemon or Captain Tsubasa. Wow, my memories finally caught up to this due to my familiarity with Gundam now. After watching this video and learning about Space Black Knight being a knockoff of Mobile Suit Gundam, with the titular protagonist is actually Char and Amuro combined, my childhood seems like a lie to me.
This was very interesting especially seeing the many rip offs of anime. Speaking of which it was an incredibly amazing choice to get the person who runs the bootleg stuff Twitter (a very freaking awesome twitter) to talk about bootlegs lol nice vid
Funny enough, Dragon Ball did start off as the parody of Journey to the West as well as Goku basing off of Sun Wukong, and now South Korea made an animated film that bares a resemblance to Dragon Ball from the art style.
SunWukong1984 Don't know if I'd call it a parody,that suggests it was created specifically and chiefly to mock the source material. It's more of an homage/adaptation isn't it?
ajoajoajoaj I mean you have Oolong based on Zhu Bajie which they're both shape-shifting pigs who has interests in girls, and then you have Yamcha, which I assume is supposed to be Sha Wujing as they live in the dry lands, and Bulma being Xuanzang who meets Goku (which his early concept is based on Wukong) on their journey. The first arc is based on Journey to the West. The rest is with sci-fi with all the cyborgs and extraterrestrials and martial artists as the story goes on with some gods and demons. I saw the comparison between Journey to the West and Dragon Ball, and Toriyama made a good job making a gag and I still enjoyed the franchise.
With rip off anime, or more manga, anyone remember that time Gene Simmons son (Nick) was trying to pass off his comic book series (Incarnate) as an original work despite tracing over the Bleach manga? If you google for it you'll panels are pretty much identical but his comic was in colour and goes left to right. And anyone who was calling him out on social media was being threatened with legal action against them. It becomes even funnier when you consider Gene said, when trying to trademark the devil horns hand guester, some people don't understand copyright law.
It looked like that one guy was going on a rant about how superheroes are just ripping off Super Man even though the ones he brings up are all from DC.
Ryan McCarthy: They copy due to the import laws back in the early years of any Japanese products. They have loosen up on them only in resent years when it comes to anime.
If you look at most of China's fantasy genre, you'll see that the majority of them are just re-imaginings of the Monkey King story. I think they ran out of originality a long time ago.
The main issue here is that China has very different copyright laws. To put it really simply, they don't honor the copyrights from other countries. So, any lawsuit that you take over there would be pointless. I'm sure Japan could bust them if they tried to sell their series in Japan itself, but that probably won't happen.
well...as recent as 2017 there's one case of Japanese company,Bandai successfully sue a Chinese knock-off, Dragon Momoko for creating bootleg Gundam model kits. although not anime but it's pretty close to it (seeing Gundam originated as an anime) so thing might get a bit interesting in the future...
Somebody should talk about the film “Savior of the Earth” (1983), A.K.A. “Korean Tron”. Sure it was a knockoff of the Disney movie “Tron” and not Japanese anime. But it was still a knockoff anime.
Mathew Haswell Yep. Though “Space Thunder Kids” had a different dub than the original “Korean Tron”, which was only ONE of the films mixed into the former. The stuff that we both said should be mentioned in a future “Did You Know” episode, don’t you think?
Space Thunder Kids is basically the "Godfrey Ho movie" of pseudo-anime. It was even "produced" by Joseph Lai - his close colleague - and released by IFD. Also I agree, but I suspect the arbitrators aren't reading this.
copying work is inevitable and is considered normal? i guess these people operate on a different kind of logic on the view of the world, originality is achieved through hardships of trial & error along with effort, that's what you call being lazy not creative as you just straight up steal someone's hard work, becoming a criminal, it's amazing that they didn't get sued in court, don't get me started on the Mazinger Z VS Taekwon V controversy, they could have designed the Taekwon robot in a billion ways like any other mecha anime creators but instead they just copied the Go Nagai template, hell ask me to design the Taekwon & i will come up with something original in just minutes, looking way different from a Mazinger Z.
Is it really a knockoff if the sale of the original is it illegal. South Korea still had sanctions and embargoes on certain Japanese products even all the way into the 90s because of World War II

the weird thing is when japan copies something as it keeps going it becomes more and more different.
@@lolidemon3163 Oh how time has changed & oh how the myth has been debunked!
This is no Gundam, boy. No macross either!
5:33 Holy crap... AMURO IS A CHAR
supergeno128ds
Can't decide whuch is best husbando
Why not both
FUSION TIME!
I think Char knows where he wants that meteor to hit first.
Or that could be a Charmuro love child.
2:00 Pat Lee? Oh you mean Michiyamenotehi Funana?
Still, that explains the Dull Surprise.
Yup, same guy. This was after Dreamwave's collapse.
Over furmans dead body
Well didn't expect you here although you play tag don't you?
40K Theories any anime theory?
There's a saying that _"Imitation is the sincerest form of Flattery"_ .
Who ever came up with that is full of it....
Well, the full quote is "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can bestow to greatness"
Holy cannoli, you actually got the bootleg_stuff host to do this? NEAT
One bootleg anime that immediately springs to mind is Joseph Lai's *Space Thunder Kids* (public domain). That movie was all over the map.
It's disjointed nature is due to it being cobbled together from multiple Korean anime knock-offs.
5:33
I was not ready for that.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
DarkonFullPower + I thought it was pretty cute🤗
So meta.
Fun fact: In Greece the Super Kid movie was called.. Pokemon...
I had to pause the video 12 seconds in because I was laughing uncontrollably at the face on that figurine.
Good content, keep it up!
A Char knock off? Wait he's also an Amuro knock off. And my brain hurts.
1:21
Ha, I never expected to see Reviewer Random pop here!
Si, si, ¡Me encanta!
Quick reminder that not only is Pat Lee infamous for some bad Transformers comics ,but allegedly embezzled money on multiple occasions
I was just thinking that it would be cool if this was the lady that runs Bootleg Stuff! Then I actually learned to read and checked the title and bam whaddya know. She seems real cool, glad to see her branching out more!
Please bring RedBard back for more bootleg stuff. It is a passion of mine

Interesting Lee enough there is an entire pop culture subgroup that specializes in collecting knock off toys it's an interesting phenomenon.
Funny enough, Dragon Ball did start off as the parody of Journey to the West as well as Goku basing off of Sun Wukong, and now South Korea made an animated film that bares a resemblance to Dragon Ball from the art style.

My friend had .superkid in VHS when we were kids and bah gawd i loved it!
Pat Lee being involved in Train Hero makes... a lot of sense, yeah.
In South Korea, Amuro is a Char. Who knew?
Ripping off that train anime must've pissed off the 6 fans of it.
Just Some Guy with a Mustache never underestimate weaponized autism
Just Some Guy with a Mustache Its a larger fanbase than i tought
excuse you? It has 7 fans! (Me included lol)
@@PrinceAkaiVtuber I'm autistic and I don't understand why autistic kids have a huge fascination with trains?

Joseph Lai and his works. He is a god of bootleg anime.

ooooh i didnt know you were BootlegStuff! nice!
I thought this was Robin from Anime America at first.
Does China's entertainment division have any original ideas?
Ryan McCarthy: They copy due to the import laws back in the early years of any Japanese products. They have loosen up on them only in resent years when it comes to anime.
If you look at most of China's fantasy genre, you'll see that the majority of them are just re-imaginings of the Monkey King story. I think they ran out of originality a long time ago.
Chinese Manhua actually. They write good original works when they do. Which is odd in itself. Spirit Blade Mountain is one of these
yes
Ryan McCarthy Yeah ,but many figure that stealing is the better option
Are lawsuits not a thing in Japan?
The main issue here is that China has very different copyright laws. To put it really simply, they don't honor the copyrights from other countries. So, any lawsuit that you take over there would be pointless.

Oh hey! Pat Lee! I don't feel much personally, but he's pretty infamous in the Transformers fandom apparently.
You guys are alive
Astro plan the knockoff of SDF Macross.
I must say, the animation in super kid isn't that bad, however looking at it now you feel as if it didn't age well at all.
if you want to see the king of knock offs you should see space thunder kids which litteraly uses the scenes of other shows
Anadroll 50 So it's basically the Turkish Star Wars of anime?
This video hurt sooo good 😂
Somebody should talk about the film “Savior of the Earth” (1983), A.K.A. “Korean Tron”. Sure it was a knockoff of the Disney movie “Tron” and not Japanese anime. But it was still a knockoff anime.
That's where the footage for the opening and climax to the infamous "Space Thunder Kids" came from, isn't it?
Mathew Haswell Yep. Though “Space Thunder Kids” had a different dub than the original “Korean Tron”, which was only ONE of the films mixed into the former. The stuff that we both said should be mentioned in a future “Did You Know” episode, don’t you think?

this was my childhood los superkids
I lost it when Char took off his mask to reveal that he's Armuro
Not gonna lie, when the Not-Char removed the helmet and revealed to be a Not-Amuro, I had my jaw on the floor :V
- V.D.
i didnt expect to hear pat lee in this
So you're telling me as a little kid I saw Superkid and NOT Dragonball? But later saw Dragon Ball Z when it aired on UPN?! 😮
2:20 Is there a connection between Hikarian and the recent anime Shinkalion?
MOOOOORE knock offs
Some of Astro Plan looks like either Transformers or even Voltron.
Make more bootleg anime videos I love Bootlegs
You guys should have gotten Vargeskelethor to narrate this video lmao 💀
He would've just been laughing his butt off, though I wouldn't blame him for doing so.
I can't wait for Super Kid FighterZ to come out for my Game Station 5 :P
When I watched Johnny destiny for the first time. When Char took of his helmet to reveal that he was Amuro I lost my fucking shit.
Huh, kinda amazed Sage didn’t use Gundam month as a lead up to Johnny Destiny
0:00 Super Saiyan God Before Super Saiyan God in Dragon Ball Super.
Gotta love them bootlegs xD

how come I'm subbed but this didn't show up in my feed 🤔
the ending part,AAHHHHHHHHHHHH
I wonder if any of my favorite anime has a bootleg version.
Awesomeness
Char and Amuro were the same person this whole time!
For the Space Adventures one I’m surprised they didn’t mention voltron considering almost the exact same thing
@2:03 PAT LEEEEEEEEEEE, any transformers fan will feel my pain
Can you do Akame ga Kill
Why can’t I find clips of super kid.
Char Ray?
Wasnt Pat lee the dreamwave comics guy?
No Mazinga 3?
Edit: do you (or anyone reading this) know what the song at 4:39 is? I come back occasionally to Shazam the song and I still can't find it anywhere 😔
I'm glad super kid will never see the light of day ever again.
Is it really a knockoff if the sale of the original is it illegal. South Korea still had sanctions and embargoes on certain Japanese products even all the way into the 90s because of World War II
The Char Amuro ripoff makes me laugh uncontrollably.
They are lots of them.
Can you make another bootleg video
Is this the same Bootleg Stuff from Facebook?
1:08 More like tambourine.
Hate to see how the currently trending anime will get plagiarized
Superkid is actually pretty good.
dont forget the korean bootleg wonder woman
Do one on....4KIDS ANIME!! Featuring Eric Stuart
can you guys do sonic x and the mario animes
Does anybody know what time it is?? XD
I'm surprised that Dogmons!, a Digimon ripoff, wasn't mentioned lmao.
Really, Train Heroes? If you're gonna rip off something, rip off one of the good ones.
Just Some Guy with a Mustache you love anime as do i
the original train hero anime was AMAZING, it was super popular in China though,
Power rangers is a knock off of "Go-lion" aka in america's dubbed version "Voltron: Defenders of the Universe"
Power Rangers are adaptions of Super Sentai.
anyone else feel like she was yelling the whole time?
Holy shit that was hilarious.
Johnny Destiny Space Ninja? :D
You should do serial experiments lain
char being amuro was just
what?
She sounds like MarzGurl, Debi Derryberry, and Lisa Christie.
Huh.
So Jetfire wasn't the only connection between Transformers and Macross. (At least, a rip-off of it)
WAIT at 5:00 there was an image of bootleg Orguss! Upper left corner.
Jesus Christ, BootLeg Michael Jackson!!!
Why did they so such a thing😲
The super kid makes sense why i always told my friend this is a dragonball copycat.lol i like super kids
What, no Space Thunder Kids? Shame...
1:24 I wish.
Lmao Super Kid
