When going through music as examples, I listened to the song Krillin's Death: If you ever watched the Freeza saga then you've heard this piece of music as it appeared after every main character death or pretend death. However listening to it, I kept getting the feeling that I've heard it from somewhere else (especially starting at 0:40). It kept bugging me until checked my itunes and noticed that the theme to Death Note sounded suspiciously similar (yes I have the Death Note soundtrack on my Ipod and Itunes what of it): I would of just left it there as it was probably just a coincidence, however listening to them both, they sound really to similar to be accidental but neither composers of Death Note have been noted for plagiarism and I haven't noticed any other similar music. Am I just hearing things? Edited by Gretnablue, Oct 27 2014, 11:00 PM.

Even regular music artists will appear to "rip-off" others without meaning to.

Nah Bro I agree with you. Only the vocals sound similar and I doubt that isn't the usual choir type vocals you hear in movies or shows. Eventually songs are going to mix up and sound similar. Hell just two years ago when I got into Yu Yu Hakusho I thought that this: Yu Yu Hakusho - Unreleased Track #3 (Reuploaded) Sounded like this: Mind Power..Ki But the former is not ripping off the latter just because of a similarity.

They just have some similar sound at some moments, i would definently not call it a "rip-off" of dbz, many anime might share similarities at there music but they are nit rip offs.
