Two characters recently introduced 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 16th, fans are comparing the game's characters to the duo from the anime Princess Principal .
Genshin Impact is accused of plagiarizing the anime Princess Principal
Although these claims went unnoticed for a while, keen observers on discussion forums in Japan and China began to notice a striking resemblance between these characters. They then compared Lyney and Lynette to Ange le Carré and Charlotte from the anime Princess Principal, released in 2017, long before the premiere of Genshin Impact.
In the case of Charlotte and Lynette, the dress design, hairstyle, and ruffles are identical. While for Ange and Lyney, the hairstyle, the presence of the hat, and even the gestures stand out similarly. Soon after noticing these similarities, fans questioned the inspiration behind the new game characters.
Check out the audience comments:
- It seems the plagiarism is quite obvious.
- I think these two have appeared in one of the Genshin Impact videos since 2020, 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 six-film series?
- This is nothing new. The game is rife with accusations of plagiarizing Japanese anime and manga characters.
- Well, they copied half the world, so it's quite a surprise when you find a 100% original character.
