Two recently introduced characters in Genshin Impact , Lyney , The Wizard of Phantasmagoria , and Lynette , The Elegance of Shadows , have become the target of unexpected accusations. Released in version 4.0 on August 16, fans compare the game's characters with the duo from the anime Princess Principal .
Genshin Impact is accused of plagiarizing the Princess Principal anime
Although these claims went unnoticed for a while, keen observers on discussion forums in Japan and China began to notice a striking similarity between these characters. Then they compare Lyney and Lynette with Ange le Carré and Charlotte from the anime Princess Principal, released in 2017, long before the debut of Genshin Impact.
In the case of Charlotte and Lynette, the dress design, hairstyle and ruffles are identical. While Ange and Lyney, the hairstyle, the presence of the hat and even the gestures stand out in similar ways. Soon after seeing these similarities, fans questioned the inspiration behind the game's new characters.
Check out the public comments:
- It seems that plagiarism is quite clear.
- I think these two have appeared since 2020 in one of the Genshin Impact videos, but now that we have them in detail, they are definitely very similar.
- I don't remember the name of the anime, but didn't they recently release a hexalogy of films?
- This is not something new. The game is full of accusations of plagiarism of Japanese anime and manga characters.
- Well, they copied half the world, it's already a surprise when you find a 100% original character.
