I dunno, knockoff "Dress-Up" games for Love Live! seem so pedestrian compared to some of the knockoff apps I've seen for Frozen, many with a weird focus on surgery.

It's like, I feel like I'm not getting the full Love Live! knockoff experience if I can't cut them open and tinker with their tickers.

Whose that one girl with the dark hair in the vocaloid dress up game? She's no vocaloid I've ever seen.

^ The dark haired-girl appears to be just Hatsune Miku with a different hairdo and colour scheme.

Call me when you're able to perform gross surgery on them.

It seems that knockoffs are bound to appear when certain franchises reach worldwide popularity.

I wouldn't be surprised if a knockoff app for Idolm@ster eventually pops up.

I have to admit: those hairstyle would spoiler[(do?)] befit Nico, Honoka, and Kotori rather well. Embarassed I could actually buy those as future version designs…

Nothing new there are literally thousands of Knockoff apps on the App Store with the most disturbing ones focusing on surgery well that and painting toe nails. Anime dazed

Come to think of it, the dark haired Vocaloid knockoff girl with the Hatsune Miku pose reminds me a lot of Stocking from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, perhaps cross-bred with the Equestria Girls version of Twilight Sparkle.

I just saw that video...who on Earth came up with something like this? Did they want to make a knockoff Frozen app but wanted to make something no one else had done, and heart surgery was something a lot of people thought up of?

Then again, Occam's Razor would suggest surgery games are easy to program, don't require a lot of creativity, and are popular for whatever reason.

And Draculaura from Monster High (look no further than my avatar) when her hair is down.
