If you're in need of some entertainment
Something that has cropped up recently in anime/manga news:
Gene Simmons's son is in a plagiarism fiasco regarding his comic Incarnate.
For those bad with celebrity names (like me), Gene Simmons is from the well known rock band KISS. As for the manga being plagiarised from, it's Bleach and Hellsing.
I was amused at Kubo Tite's (author of Bleach) Twitter reply to the whole thing (it's in the link):
So, uh, from yesterday night until this morning, there've been an amazing number of messages from overseas fans along the lines of "There's a manga imitating BLEACH in America!" Well, I had a look at the site and I don't understand English that well, but I think what's written there is something like "It's a manga drawn by Gene Simmons' son, Nick Simmons."
-and-
The fact that Gene Simmon's son is a manga-ka disturbs me more than whether he's really copying or not.
For a 'bite size' link, this one's pretty amusing. :p
