As soon as you explain the weapon transformation mechanic you get the response "Oh, so it's a RWBY knock-off!" even though the first God Eater game came out THREE FUCKING YEARS BEFORE RWBY.

I've had people claim that Yu Yu Hakusho is a rip-off of Bleach.

Despite the fact Bleach nearly WASN'T PUBLISHED in Shonen Jump because it was too similar to... guess what? ...Yu Yu Hakusho.

Speaking of anime ripping of JRPGs, how the fuck did Jojos Bizarre Adventure get away with ripping off Persona? I mean it's not enough they rip off Personas with Stand bullshit, they even ripped off the poses P4 swagcast did in Persona Q.

Persona actually came after JJBA, and was hugely inspired by it.

edit:
JJBA and stands started in 1989-1992

Persona 1 released in 1996.

Right? People are so fucking set in the mindset of "This is newer, it's the original." that it's mind boggling.
