Is this a coincidence or what?

Is it just me or do the four characters from Twinkle Star Sprites shown happen to be similar to a character from Gunbird shown above? Not only that but they somehow play similar as well.

How 'bout that.

Interesting, "It's just you." in 3D with perspective :)

And, yes, it's just you.

HUH? I truly am the only one that can see that they have some common traits? Come on. If you think about, they do have things in similarity.

There was a thread once that ended with people quoting people that quoted people and quoted what this one guy quoted from another one. It looked like a endless vortex and it didn´t have any text inside anymore. I guess it´s linked somewhere in the "Worst threads ever"-thread.

Kidding aside, there is some similarity, but I think it´s pretty minor.

At least it's not just you, cuz I've seen that kind of story in one japanese site and it even says Psikyo made a chara "Alucard" in Gunbird 2 in return for that. However, there's no one who can admit it, but interesting :D

Let's see:

Anime character designs featured in Twinkle Star Sprites -- from ADK

and

Anime character designs featured in Gunbird -- from Psikyo

Very different in the overall aesthetics department... ^_~

Now Marion the Witch character featured all "grown up" in her Gunbird 2 ending story -- she's a hottie alrighty... ^_~

Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Maybe it happened more then once, but I recall that happening in the STGT thread. That's all it was really good for after about week 5.
