Meanwhile, Serial Experiments Lainis about a girl named Lain ( Kaori Shimizu) who discovers that, rather than being human, she’s an autonomous, physical computer program that can cross from the physical world to its virtual counterpart, called “the Wired.” Masami Eiri ( Sei Ôhama), who uploaded his consciousness to the Wired, teaches her to become an omnipotent being who can control the digital and physical worlds. In Transcendence, an artificial intelligence researcher named Will Caster ( Johnny Depp) uploads his consciousness into a prototype for a sentient computer and slowly becomes omnipotent. Transcendence (2014) – Serial Experiments Lain (1998) However, Tekuza Productions, the studio behind Kimba, never took any legal action against Disney, and Makoto Tezuka himself said he saw the two works as different stories with different themes. Upon The Lion King’s release in Japan, 488 Japanese manga artists and animators signed a letter urging Disney to give credit to Kimba the White Lion. Unlike those between films above, the relationship between Kimba the White Lion and Disney’s The Lion King was rife with controversy. Down to each individual frame, the Superman/Zod battle is completely copied from a now identical fight in the anime. Rather, Zack Snyder has been very open about the fact that he ripped the final fight scene of his film right out of the series Birdy the Mighty: Decode. Anime did make its way into the film, but not as a source of general influence or, in the case of Clash of the Titans, fo costume inspiration. Man of Steel uses the superman comics as its primary inspiration, rather than any one anime. He even asked the author of the manga, Masami Kurumada, to collaborate with the production team of Clash of the Titans on its poster designs.

Instead, director Louis Leterrier – a big fan of the manga and its anime adaptation – cited the armor used in the film as an homage to Saint Seiya. Of course, since Clash of the Titans draws mainly from Greek mythology, it is not the concept of Saint Seiya that the film draws from necessarily (though Saint Seiya also involves many characters and stories from Greek mythology), nor its visual compositions.
