Maybe because both characters are from the same archtype and had similar character designs? I don't know who did the illustrations for the ZnT novels, but you can't deny they're like, carbon copies except Tabatha was a few sheets under Yuki.

So nice
Siesta is cute as ever there on my desktop now. It's as if... she has...erh.. grown, too big for her nightdress... I never recall noticing them that big... Siesta is like Yoshida after all!!! *has super weakness for cute girls who can make boobies grow at will* Poor Shana... If Yoshida takes away Yuuji and Louise takes her melon pan then poor little Shana won't have anything left |

Both characters are taken from novel series, so I assume the anime production companies have nothing to do with the similarities. It may be that both novel writers are good friends who share many ideas, or have the same inspiration. Certainly there is nothing wrong with a little copying from each other, as long as the story is written well. For example, in detective stories, the butler and police detective characters fall under common archetypes. |

Louise v. Shana
Both series share a character designer, Mai Otsuka, which probably explains a lot. I recognize four cast members from Shana that also have significant parts in Zero.
Let's move this discussion to a discussion thread. It's a great inside joke for Shana fans, and it should be discussed. (I want to discuss it.) We just shouldn't be discussing it here, however. Thanks. |

Now that Episode 8 is out, I guess I can safely remove the tags for these Episode 7 caps.
The first image is animated: More animated GIFs (The first two are long and large.): Last edited by Maids! Maids! Maids!; 2006-08-25 at 21:02. Reason: Removed spoiler tags. |
