Coke in plagiarism row? Not quite...

Yuki, 2005Coke, 2006
Initially the DMC and I thought that Coke had pulled another one and ripped off someone else's idea and turned it into their own, but it turns out that they actually hired the original creative talent (Nagi Noda) and paid her coke money to do the same thing again.

The new one is slightly slicker, but not much. More characters, and so a greater variation in the casting, and the new one has that inherent Coke schmaltz about it that just drops it a few notches. Plus, I think a couple of the actors in the coke one were drunk or needed a piss.

Of course, to me this is hilarious because the artist's name means Naked Node in Slovenian.
