Anime characters come in all shapes and sizes, demonstrating the rich imagination of their creators. But sometimes, purely by chance, two characters in different anime look almost identical. It’s not about someone copying; It was just an amazing coincidence.
Thinking about how vast the anime world is, it’s wild to see two characters who look like twins. It’s unfair to blame the creator for this – it’s just one of those things that happens!
In this article, we have selected 12 characters from various anime who have similar appearances in another show.
12. Yami & Eve
“Yami” is a supporting character, while “Eve” is the main character in her story. Both anime series that these characters participate in are created by the same mangaka named “Yabuki Kentarou”.
So this clearly shows that these two characters are connected to each other. Yami and Eve are artificially synthesized humans, each without emotions. They also share the same voice actor, which is not a coincidence.
“To Lov Ru” and “Black Cat” are parallel universes, meaning Eve is Yami but in a more relaxed world. Therefore, it can be said that these two series are related to each other.
Not to mention the character designs of both characters are similar.
