Is it me?

Or do Orihime Inoue from Bleach and Mikuru Asahina from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya resemble each other?

Orihime:


Mikuru:


Granted they don't look exactly alike but there personalities are very similar IMO.

Sadly, never heard of the other one.

i find that quite a few girls in anime look alike; it seems to be common practice.

Whic one are you talking about?

Orihime or Mikuru?

Ohh lol, should have specified. Mikuru.

I don't see it.

Might be just me.

I understand what you're getting at, but the art styles are so different, that it's difficult to relate the two. Just similar features. [breasts.]

I kinda agree with that. These two have quite a few similar characteristics; i.e. long, orangey hair, big eyes, the clumsy/awkward personalities, not to mention their bust size. Though yeah, art styles are different enough to distinguish between the two.

They look nothing alike in my book.

Yeah they both are red heads and have big boobs but I don't think they look alike at all.

You're imagining things.

Actually, lots of characters resemble one another. The following image will provide you with a visual example:


Top left: Tsukasa (Lucky Star)
Top right: Multi (To Heart 1)
Bottom left: Akari (To Heart 1)
Bottom right: Kenshin (Kenshin/Samurai X)

Personally, I don't think the manga nor anime versions of Orihime and Mikuru resemble each other very much.

Kyou and Ryou from Clannad & Kagami and Tsukasa from Lucky Star

Different arts styles, but there are some similarites in there.

I love you Mikuru!!!! FAN BOY LOL!!!11

Wow, yeah Mattarat. They do look very similar.

Hm... no i don't see it. I guess its you. :?

Edit: Do you think that anyone could take this as an example and say that the japanese are not being original or creative enough?

Their eyes and their corresponding personalities are also so very similar that it's scary.

I don't know

cant really see much similarities, especially with such an awful pic of orihime
