Super Twins Director Denies Sailormoon Ripoff
Dominic Zapata, director of GMA’s Sailormoon ripoff Super Twins, deserves a medal from me. People like him accelerate the fall of Philippine TV, much to my delight as a Filipino YouTuber.
Prior to the start of series, many have been pointing out that Super Twins is a rip-off of anime series such as Sailor Moon and Amazing Twins. The show’s director, Dominic Zapata, cleared things out by saying, “If you find similarities, it is outright coincidental. Hindi po ako nakakapanood ng Sailor Moon and Amazing Twins.”
He sure “cleared things out”, alright — like a hot stinking fart clears out a room. Oh, and Amazing Twins is a live-action Mandarin series, not a Japanese anime.
“Sabi ng lawyer, you shouldn’t have access to these things. It’s not something na nagawa na dati-[it has] a new story, nice drama and solid characters.”
So a Philippine TV director needs a lawyer to assure him he “shouldn’t have access” to Sailormoon, one of the most popular anime in Philippine TV history? I don’t know who’s dumber: the director or the lawyer.
I hope these Philippine TV dinosaurs never learn that they can’t lie to a connected population. That way, their constant bumbling will provide us hours of amusement before the growth of the Philippine Internet crushes them.

and by the way, Dominic deserves a good kick for this…
Isn’t he the same guy who directed Darna? Sheesh, now it makes sense.
Well… I wouldn’t be surprised if he says that he didn’t see SM, the thing is he shouldn’t have said that the costume design similarities are merely “coincidental.” He might not have been the one responsible for the costume design, he may have approved it, but he might have no idea where the designs were taken from. Anyway, it might be too late for them to change it, unless they put something in the storyline to change for the main characters’ costumes.
i didn’t notice that super twins was a rip-off of sailormoon. it’s completely different! look at the… umm, how about the… well the hair seems different and the hair ribbons are unique.
