Emm, how do you "rip off" R2D2 even more when the origin anime/concept was BEFORE Star Wars/R2D2? I mean, he speaks with a synthesized male voice instead of blips/squeaks right?
You youngsters/novices have to get this right, Star Wars was heavily influenced BY 1970's cyberpunk, NOT the other way-- it was a very successful, but very unoriginal, amalgation. Next thing you'll be telling me is that HR Giger was influenced by James Cameron.
Yamato, just like Star Wars, was a REFLECTION of 1970's sci-fi sensibilities and style.
If you care enough to go around telling people you don't care... you obviously care.
