Ha! :lol
Fuck, I hate anime (with few exceptions)
On a related note, the second season of Futurama has finally been syndicated after the first had cycled about a thousand times. I'm really beginning to like this show. It's obviously not as good as The Simpsons (was). But I prefer it to Family Guy, even though I don't find it as funny. It's a more thoughtful show; better written. Like, when Fry finds out that his brother didn't steal his life, but actually named his son after him. That was a cool episode.

I'm sure we can all agree it is infinitely better than the Simpsons (is). 
I like it better than Family Guy as well. Family Guy has funny rapid-fire bizarre jokes, but Futurama has more interesting characters and treats them with respect and heart, the way Simpsons used to.

Transformers and Teen Titans have been bastardized by Anime. Ugh. Seeing this makes me die inside a little.

Futurama is better story-wise, but it can't beat the pure humor of Family Guy.
And Zoidberg > all other Futurama characters.

That's awesome. I find it quite interesting to see characters put in a different style. Done well, of course.

Zoidberg is my favourite Futurama character!
I guess we do agree on something, RevenantKioku!

Yup, I gotta agree with most everything here.
1) That art sickens me. And Fry really does look like a wacky version of Archie.
2) Futurama has heart like the early Simpsons while Family Guy shoots for random nonsensical hilarity.
3) Most anime is utterly awful.

Thats fucking horrible.
It was a quote from a voice-over at the conclusion of one of the "Tales of Interest" during an episode of Futurama. These are "what-if" stories.Marconelly said:
This particular one had Bender turn into a human, and the results were - unpleasant, to say the least.
To me, it's the Futurama equivalent to "My eyes, the goggles do nothing!!"
I remember that girl's art from Deviantart. She has an unhealthy obsession with Fushigi Yugi (why?) and has a habit of switching the genders of her and FY characters for some reason. I always wonder if people who are seriously into anime just use it to cover up some other deep psychological problem or fetish, like a lot of furries do

What the hell? So people aren't allowed to be fans of anime, or to express their preferences, or experiment with different variables in a drawing without having a "deep psychological problem?" You really do deserve that tag you have.
Bob White said:
So much irrational hostility. It's not like this person decided to force this picture down everyone's throats worldwide and destroy the originals in an attempt to make her portrayal the only acceptable one. What the hell is wrong with you people? Aren't people allowed to create in a manner they see fit? Fanart would be pretty damn dull if the artists only used the original style of a work without ever injecting any of their own creativity. And before you say that anime is not creative, let's hear what you'd say if someone did a Cubist or Impressionist Futurama fanart?

I for one have always been annoyed by Americans copying the Anime style. It's just so masturbatory, and easy. Plus fans seem to eat that shit up like diabetics to insulin. If you took a picture of fucking Kojack and animed that, people will love it.
belgurdo said:
Uh huh. And I suppose if somebody has a room full of various non-anime movie posters, and perhaps even likes to make a few quotes now and then, that's just a healthy hobby. I'm not going to presume to gauge whether you like or dislike anime, but your rhetoric paints your argument to be one of "if they're a fan of something I don't like, then they must have problems."
DarthWoo said:
Uh, I like anime too. Otherwise I wouldn't draw it myself. But sometimes you have to draw a line with your fandom before it starts becoming a unhealthy obsession. A couple of quotations every once in a while and two or three posters is cool. Responding to everything people around you say with a random quote, and posters on the walls to the point that they're wallpaper is not. This goes for all hobbies too
belgurdo said:
Thank you for your clarification. I still stand by my opinion that all the people who just look at the picture and declare it as trash are a bunch of closed-minded nimrods. They remind me of the people who go into Elfwood or other feedback oriented galleries and just post some asinine and irrelevant comment for who knows what purpose.
luxsol said:
Sorry, I had to go to one of the most boring classes of the week during this past one and a quarter hour. What I mean to say is that, as applies most especially to Bob White's post to which I also responded, people who just automatically pigeonhole a piece of art as trash without any sort of reason to back themselves up. Regardless of the content of the picture, I think it is technically very well done.

But see, this is the Internet. A magical place where all the rules are different! If you see for example, a person who is way into something you don't like, you can instantly imagine this unknown stranger is the whipping boy for the worst and most ridiculous cariacture you can think of. Just pull it out of your ass! Make death threats, say this horrible sub-human creature must be exterminated so as not to smell up -your- planet! Nobody will notice! At best, when cornered, some people will mumble "well just the bad ones harump harump cough". Which often can still be a biased judgement a person has no business making.
As for the ridiculous hate in this thread, the technical skill demonstrated in the Futurama thing whips the ass of most (not all) of what typically gets posted in GAF art threads. No acknowledgement of that of course - we must be as spiteful as possible. Personally, I don't care for it that much in fact. Bender's style isn't a proper translation, and Leela is borderline. The Prof would be amusing as little guy for quick takes, but would get old. However I do think Zoidburg is hilarious and Fry, well, really doesn't look that bad at all. If Futurama really was an anime, I'd go with Fry and ZB as they are.

You know, a funny point is almost anything can be presented this way. For example, America where sports like Football are an obsession - how many people have a sports team license plate, sports junk covering the walls, wear football jerseys, talk in sports speak all the time and obsession as armchair quarterbacks all the time? They go unremarked of course, and nobody ever imagines they have some deep set "problem" they're using sports to cover up.
See, I'm not saying once in a while a person might have a "problem". But I don't care if somebody is a cosplayer who goes around dressed up as Goku. If he's a good guy, he can dress as Santa Claus and sing odes to the North Pole on street corners. Of course, I'm biased myself 'cause I know a ton of people in various sub-cultures and fandoms, and for every person who actually lives up to the stereotype of the creepy, dysfunctional fanboy, I've met ten more (especially like, you know, off the Internet) who may be weird as all hell by society's standards, and are some of the best people I've ever known.
Drawing matt groening artwork in an anime style is about as off putting as if someone took Astro boy and made him look like He-man. It's fine and dandy for fanart also, not meant to be taken seriously.
I'm not particularly fond of this, and I'm pretty sure that was ferrios goal but I'm not going to say it burns my eyes or something ridiculous. It's not tub girl or goatse folks.
