Wasn't Pico designed as an off-brand version of Bridget from Guilty Gear without the nun's habit?

I believe the doujin circle that did the character designs for Boku no Pico had already done a couple of Bridget doujins.

Although I've heard of a trap character called Bridget, I can't say I've any familiarity with Guilty Gear. Is there some connection to Gunslinger Girl, or were you just adding trivia?

I'd thought of Rikka's older sister as the one Mitsuki was a dead ringer for.

You forgot the most obvious example from Working/Wagnaria. Jun Satou and Sanji from One Piece.





Coincidentally, they have the same voice actor in the Tagalog dubs, Rafael Miranda.

I'm surpised none of these were mentioned yet
Banri Edasaki (A Certain Scientific Railgun) and Ritsu Tainaka (K-ON!)


Aya Komichi (Kiniro Mosaic) and Rize Tedeza (Is the Order a Rabbit?) (besides the obvious hair color)


In addition to looking alike both of these pairs share the same voice actresses as their doppleganger!

First thought that came to my mind when I was watching Devil is a Part Timer was "hey, that dude looks exactly like James". In another coincidence the studio that animates Maou Sama (White Fox) was spun off from the studio that animates Pokemon (OLM). Such a shame that the crossover potential was never fulfilled. I was gonna say Kyoko from To Love Ru and Black Cat, but someone already mentioned it. And Okami-san actually has a cameo from Taiga (plus a couple other JC Staff characters) in one of its episode. But now for my pick:
The teacher from Sabagebu and:

Ritsu from K-On!

Also I always thought Maria from Haganai looked like a evil version of Chaos from Sora no Otoshimono and that one grey haired girl from Denpa-whatever its called. They also have the same character designers (well, at least the first two share same one. Haganai and Denpa have same original designer)
EDIT: ^^holy crap triplets!

I've never seen Gunslinger Girl, I was just listing another character that Pico rather looks like (and I believe the reason for the similarity is intentional).

3 guesses who voices Rindo from World Trigger, and the first two don't count.

Also, one other pair of look-alike characters are Takuto from Star Driver in his Galactic pretty boy form and this one guy from Yugioh Zexal (Quattro is his name apparently. Never consistently watched Zexal to both to know the names well). You would think that with a franchise featuring specific designs of characters with abnormal hair and jackets that defy gravity, it would be impossible to have one character look like another from a different show. But these two not only have the same design, but even the same smirk.



Also Cain McDonnell from bdaman may be added to them

@Dessa:

I'm not good in voice actors, but I assume something like Maes Hughes' VA should do it?

The Lego Movie just won the PGA for best animated film which actually helps Princess Kaguya.

If one of the other Oscar nominated films had won I would have said that would have been the shop in for the award. But now it's even more up in the air.

Oh... oh... I have one.

Kyo from Fruits Basket and Akito from Kodocha.

I always thought the Kodocha characters grew up to become the Marmalade Boy characters (apparently I wasn't alone):

I always think Xenovia from Highschool DxD is basically like Sendou Aichi from Cardfight Vanguard. The greatest difference is boobs.

And, Hoshino Ruri from Martian Successor Nadesiko is totally similar with Primula from Shuffle.

As for the Oscar... Since I haven't seen all the nominated ones I don't really know. A lot of people put their vote on BH6 but personally I don't think BH6 is really that good.

You must include mirror-universe Ginko.

I'm putting Ginko in the "characters that look like animals" group. Wink


Misa Hayase (SDF Macross)


I bust I out laughing at the whole Misa/Bloodhound thing.

Damn, I can't think of anything other than connecting the majority of anime characters from CCS to Puppet Princess or Angel's Present to Big O. Which was deliberate. Anyone want to try matching anyone from AoT.
