Inspired by something I saw on another site: Have you ever noticed that sometimes, two completely unrelated characters look a lot a like? Maybe they dress alike, look alike, act alike--whatever. I know I've noticed it, have you?

For example, here's Zero Suit Samus:

Image

Now, here's a character called Winry from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.

Image

Freaky, huh?

What similarities have YOU noticed?

Because of gender, I don't think the "switched at birth" applies, but I do think these two could be brother and sister:

Inuyasha

Oh...you mean how some writers/TV show makers blatantly rip off characters from other storylines? Or just more along the lines of coincidences, like these two images of Heather Langenkamp as Nancy from "Nightmare on Elm Street" and Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins from "The Lord of the Rings"

Alby, I think I have found the source of your power. Google. No, I'm not saying that you use Google to find your pics, I'm saying that you are Google in human form. All hail Alberto, King of the Internet!

Did we already once determine that Alberto was the personification of Google somewhere else?

That Abe Lincoln thing is really creepy.

And nah, I'm jut talking about the silly coincidental stuff. :P Not the umpteen million Alien ripoffs in every sci-fi-game ever.

Hrmm... ya know, the anime ones aren't very surprising... I mean, there're only a few basic character designs for human characters in anime.

For some reason, Megatron and Magneto always remind me of each other:

You know, you can spell Magneto with letters from Megatron... everything but the 'r'.

I actually watched the first couple episodes of "Trigun" last week on DVD. It was interesting. I also listened to some of the soundtrack.

(You may be skeptical, but I dare you to go back and watch the first TMNT movie and tell me they aren't the same character. Also, Splinter = Yoda, Raphael = Luke, Casey Jones = Han Solo, April = Leia)

Although I don't have pictures, I believe Douglas and Bucky Lasek are the same person, although Bucky can skate.

Cool. I like that show. I just bought the first 7 dvds.

I didnt think that those pictures were too similar, though.
