    That's a pretty odd parallel. I wonder if the choreography match was intentional, because those are pretty generic moves.

    They are, but it's too similar (camera-wise as well) to be a coincidence. I think it's a homage.

    Yeah, after looking at the first pic again, it's literally the exact same.

    That short fight between Spike and Vincent was sooo much better than any fight in Naruto.

    RE: Wow, Naruto pays tribute to Cowboy Bebop

    Could it be that the animators are basing the moves on an actual fighting style that, coincidentally, was used by both bebop and Naruto for these specific fights?
    It's prolly just an homage though. Very cool

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    RE: Wow, Naruto pays tribute to Cowboy Bebop

    The bepop movie came out before the naruto episode, so i dont think that was a coincidence. narutos creators have said before they draw inspiration form alot of other anime and manga sources, in other words they rip off the best ideas from other shows.
    But seriously, it wouldnt be the first time a show or movie has almost scene for scene "borowed" a sequence or scene. I remember seeing a scene by scene comparison of the original matrix and dark city on the net a couple of years ago and the similarity was too obvious to be anything but a direct ripp off. And it goes back as long as movies and tv have existed. Just look at all the westerns "inspired" by samurai movies, or comparisons between the flintstones and the honey mooners even. Its an entertainment business tradition.

    RE: Wow, Naruto pays tribute to Cowboy Bebop

    very true...
    "nothing is original" I guess.
    But why such a random fight scene? Do you think this has happened for every fight? Or even a few? That would be cool to see some more ripped fights like this from other animes.

    I think you can basically get this out of the great anime book for drawers . Most likely a ready and done example page of a smooth fight. You have to remember they do not have the time to think up new moves every week.

    thats actually pretty cool, and although seeing someone as cool as Vincent being replaced by Naruto is making me cringe right now, it's still cool that Spike is replaced with Neji [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

    so its all good

    The first person to have noticed it must either have a sharingan or have devoted his entire life to watching anime over and over again.....

    Cool find.

    I'd just like to add that it went like this - Kurosawa was inspired by the westerns to make samurai movies and then they in turn inspired more westerns. Ain't it great! (and Seven Samurai is number four in the IMDb's top films list!)

    I reckon the Neji/Naru fight is a homage, because its nicer to think that way plus homages are common enough themselves.
