INTEREST: Indie Animator Claims Outburst Dreamer Boys OP Copies Their Work

God, here we go again , either get over yourselves where you think your work is original and because someone happened to make something slightly the same you claim it's yours, or you guys up top, how about making the fact that your'e copying something look a little less conspicuous? Seriously, we can't go like two weeks without this same thing popping up in the news. Look people, we all copy from each other all the time in some way, shape, or form, let's be real here. It's HOW you go about "retranslation" determines if you're caught or not. I mean, obviously it's not the right thing to do, that don't mean people aren't gonna do it tho. But now if this is where an underground creator is just trying to cash in on a coincidence, then that's just as grimy. We're so quick to jump in the defend the little guy so we believe and it may just be a coincidence. I'm tired of seeing this incident being recycled in the news.

...did you watch the video? This is a literal frame-by-frame trace job. People keep siding with the "little guy" because the cases are usually super-blatant plagiarism, like this one.

You mean to tell me that a low tier super rushed, low budget anime had its over worked and underpaid animators trace some small random youtube channels animation and think that no one would notice it.

Stars Align says hi.

But I mean, yeah. Even Sony got slammed with plagiarizing lots of animators for a music video they did. Usually it's just one person who does it and then the whole team/company gets in trouble for that person's laziness since the editors/management didn't catch it.
