| I'm sorry, Stay Alive. I know you're a new movie and this stage of your life must be a very awkward one for you. However, I cannot help the fact that your premise, your sole purpose in life, has already been done by at least two anime series: .//hack and Serial Experiments Lain. There is a slight possibility that the concept was in existence before and after these series, but these were the only things that came to mind upon seeing your trailer. Also, if you count all the incarnations of the .//hack series, you're copying a story four times over. Oh wait, there were four video games, an anime series, another anime/OVA, a manga coupled with a series, a novel, a collection of short stories, two novel series, one episode OVA, an MMORPG and two manga series. That would mean you copied the .//hack series about fifteen times, give or take two. And you copied Serial Experiments Lain about two times, counting the "video game". I'm sorry. Someone had to tell you. It was best if you heard it from someone who cared. P.S. .//hack and Lain sources. P.P.S. What the hell does Elizabeth Bathory have to do with a video game? You probably just read the vampire parts and skipped over the facts. I hate when you slaughter history. I'll never forgive you for what you did to Pocahontas. |

threshershark | 03-16-06 11:34am I thought it looked awful too. buuut the thing with the entertainment business is that you are allowed to copy plots and story ideas and the idea is that the person that presents them the best gets all the cash and stuff. Sortof like how the entire fantasy genre consists of "Lord of the Rings" ripoffs.
