Recently, a new game called 'Huayujuan' entered the public eye. As a mobile game centered on anthropomorphized characters, it should have captured attention with its PV, but instead, it found itself issuing an apology shortly after its announcement. This unexpected move left onlookers baffled, sparking intense speculation about what exactly happened.
According to sharp-eyed community members, the controversy centers on a character named 'Tumbleweed.' Users pointed out that the character's design is strikingly similar to young Russia from the well-known anime 'Hetalia' (often referred to as 'APH' in the community), including the light curly hair, purple eyes, and even the signature scarf and sunflower. The overlap is so comprehensive that netizens remarked: 'They copied it so thoroughly that they even lifted the character's core identifying traits.'
Beyond the character design controversy, players have also alleged that the game stole assets from 'Food Fantasy.' A comparison image of a tree shows obvious similarities to those in the aforementioned game, casting doubt on the project team's original creative ability. Even when the developers claimed the character held a sunflower because it is a national flower, players found this logic laughable.
The community discussion continues to heat up. Many ACG enthusiasts joked that they didn't expect to see a 'nursing home' level of nostalgia (a common nickname for the long-running 'Hetalia' franchise) in a drama like this in 2023. Many have asked: if Tumbleweed is already holding a sunflower, how will the development team handle it when they eventually release an actual sunflower-themed character?
