somewhatplagiarism?
bobjoe:
Yeah, please check out tvtropes. The point is, it's not plagiarism, it's supposed to be that way.

I brought this up on IRC at one point, and it seems pretty reasonable from what we discussed. The main character has to sit in that seat so everything important in the scene can fit into the frame (since in an anime the entire world has to be communicated through a single window: The screen). Seats in that part of the classroom are the only ones where the characters can plausibly have lengthy conversations and where the viewer will be able to see the main character, the other characters (who sit in the seats around the main one), and whatever important things are happening outside at the same time.
Carnivus:
I had a similar post.Quekmaster gave me a very interesting link,with connectios between every cartoon/anime:)
Still,you can't call it plagiarism.You can call it no immagination though.

( I used the formula f(x) = x + x - 2x + .9438x100% ) ;D Indeed a coincidence when I think about it, but nethertheless I will always like Clannad more than Myself;Yourself!
then the twins! they are 96.78% similar to the twins in lucky star Both animated by Kyo Animation most likely just took the characters personalities and stylised them to fit the clannad style, but then again I'm not sure on the whole 'who had the original concept first' with whatever was out first. Also cameos happen in their previous animations too with Kanon characters appearing in Air
then . . .the mood. . .it is 99.9998% similar to the one in Kanon 2006 Well...this one is alittle irrelevant considering that Key produced both of these titles and since Kanon was such a success, they just went with a similiar and updated style
then I think someone already mentioned it. . .but the main character always sits on the back corner (or second seat from the back) of the classroom AND has a great view of the school yard. I recall reading up about this too but I forgot where...maybe here, wiki or even ANN (which I always check for their trivia notes)
has anyone else noticed such similarities between plenty of animes? As mentioned, nothing is original anymore, recently when I went to just skim through some scenes on Aria, I saw a character and it completely resembled a character from claymore and I was left thinking "lol quit being a claymore and change profession to become a trainee gondolier!

I'm gonna have to agree with anerph on this one, it's very difficult to find completely original works there days - and surely similarities between series isn't simply limited to anime, but is rampant throughout movies, music, and other sorts of media as well - among other things.
If you check out almost any new movie, it is bound to share some similarities to other movies - of course the extent to which it resembles a different movie varies.
You can even find the same things among popular books as well (i.e. Eragon and the whole Star Wars/LOTR similarities). A lot of it probably due to the sheer amount of media that has already been released that it is hard to be original without being completely obscure ... and unfortunately completely obscure works don't tend to be as well received. The most original movie I probably saw in the last few years was probably Waking Life ... and although it was good, it was pretty damn weird.
On a completely random note, what character is that as your avatar bobjoe? Seems familiar, but I just can't place it ...

First of all, good point on the movie thing. Waking Life is practically what I would call experimental, which just goes to show the lengths to which a director/writer has to go to make a truly original production.
Second, how could you not recognize Mio??? It even says K-On right on her chest!
I just promised myself when I saw the version of that pic in the OP that if I found that image by itself (as in, in some other form than the OP which had other stuff on top of it) I would use it as my avatar.
