Ummmm
Yeah, it certainly looks like one of them ripped of the other.
I love when they do this in movies and games, especially if it is done well enough for you to miss it at first.

Actually... if both are from Robert Kinoshita, it could be just recycling :P
... and now i need to watch Tobor... it's more than 50yo, with a little luck it has a public domain release on archive dot org.

I agree though, i love ripoff-yet-not-traced artworks.

Come on, this is known.

He traveled back to 1634 to create the Decima island in Japan, to foster future relations with the Netherlands.

Wasn't this also on the movie The Monster Squad from the '80s?

To this day, I still can't believe Nintendo let that slip by and made it to production. Just unbelievable!

I never played Dead Space but that one was fascinating! :D

The main bosses in P.N.03 have German flower names.

Thought you wouldn't hear about P.N.03 today, didn't you?

Dark Daddy

In Italy he was originally called "Darth Fener" because "Vader" sounds like "water" (in italian pronounced vah-terr) that means toilet seat.

I still prefer the sound of "Fener" than "Vader".

This is going upwards, like a pyramid. Not forward like a Star Destroyer.

I've never noticed that either. I also haven't played many Castlevanias and have never finished any of them. I assume Alucard ends up being Dracula?

You all laugh, but Im sure that at least someone among you still hasn't realized it's Diddy's Kong Quest (conquest) and not Diddy Kong's Quest.

Nah, Alucard ends up being the wake me up when my dad gets up button,

Has JK ever explained how Riddle figured this out

Did he spend an afternoon crafting anagrams in-between his evil plots

SonicRift · Mar 9, 2020

Oh and fithos lusec wecos vinosec is an anagram of Succession of Witches and Love.

Doggg · Mar 9, 2020

Which is pretty silly. I'm totally not like my father so I'll reverse his name. I guess I'll call myself Drofdarb.

Mario was original called Murphy and was Irish, but after it turned out that Nintendo's New York Landlord Mario Segale hated the Irish, Miyamoto renamed him to Mario in order to secure another month's rent for free.

You can still see the stereotypical red hair on Muphy as part of this original design

His given name was actually Mia Voldemort, but he changed it to "I am" when the death eaters started bullying him.
