China Copying Macross?

Animation fans across Asia have been quick to notice that the upcoming Chinese animated series Astro Plan bears a striking resemblance to Macross.

(or Macross and Gundam Seed)

Evidently China isn’t the only country to have copied Macross.

I’ve never perceived China as giving a damn about copyright infringement, so I’m not surprised. I would be willing to forgive the resemblances to White Base/Archangel, but the transforming plane robots are a direct rip.

China has the whole world to steal from. Why does it look like they got the character designs from one of our “How to Drawing teh Mangas” books?
