Looking back it was sort of egregious how all Hollywood had to do for Inception was rewrite an Japanese movie (based on a Japanese book) to be worse and get big names on the project to make triple the box office numbers and become much more well known in pop culture (;´Д`)

Are there any other examples of this that stick out to anyone? I'm not talking about the Netflix adaptations and related stuff, I mean Westerners jacking Japan's shit and not acknowledging that they did to sell to a different audience (;´Д`)

bonus satoshi kon thread. watch everything he has made if you havent already ヽ(´∇`)ノ

kimba was something about nature vs industrialitation and the relation between humans and animals.
and none of the carachters match in any way nor plot beat tone or messagge.
obviously two story abput anthromorphic animals set mainly in africa wit african animals will look similare especialy if you never saw one of them :glare1:

in the spirit of fairness i think its important to point out the inverse happens a lot as well （ ´,_ゝ`）
its most noticeable in music

"Shingi" from the Akagi OST compared to "On" by Aphex Twin:

"Hanamaru Sensation" from the Kodomo no Jikan OST compared to "One Fine Day" by The Offspring:
https://youtu.be/dvfMHKbHXLg
https://youtu.be/eFvtLhxmx9U

"Goldfinger" by popular Japanese singer Hiromi Go compared to "Livin' La Vida Loca" by Ricky Martin:
https://youtu.be/1I_Oi36QhbU
https://youtu.be/p47fEXGabaY

this all happens despite japan having no fair use laws, to the point the creators of osomatsu-san had to publicly apologize for parodying other anime in their first episode

it isnt i think its morally wrong that this happened, i like all the songs i listed. but theivery is not exclusive to western pigs ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
