In Name Only: Difference between revisions

* Despite its name, [[Go Nagai]]'s manga and anime and novel series ''[[God Mazinger]]'' has nothing to do with ''[[Mazinger Z]]''. The characters, the setting and the plot are completely unrelated, and the [[Humongous Mecha]] hardly looks like Mazinger. Apparently the similar title is due to it was intended to be ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' sequel, but that concept was scrapped, and ''[[Great Mazinger]]'' and ''[[UFO Robo Grendizer]]'' were created instead.

* ''[[Idolmaster: Xenoglossia]]'' retains ''some'' of the characters' personalities from the original video game, but changes... well, everything else.

* The manga ''[[Blue Dragon]] Ral Grad'' has nothing in common with the ''[[Blue Dragon]]'' video game or anime series, except for the presence of [[Living Shadow]] [[Bond Creatures]] which themselves are very different in nature between sources.

* ''[[Tales From Earthsea]]'' only really borrowed a few ideas from the ''Earthsea'' books and made something completely different.
