    Just so we’re clear, democrats are blue conservatives and are not leftists.

    The meme is still accurate though. Why does Futurama look so anime? Did i miss a new episode?

      It’s from an episode that does a terribly shallow parody of anime. Ya know the kind where there’s tentacle monsters everywhere despite me not being able to name a single anime I’ve ever seen that has that, just Western Parodies of anime and everyone talks in horrible Engrish in forced asian accents, even though not even dubbers as inept as 4Kids do that?

      Basically the “I’m 65 and the only Japanese Cartoon I’ve ever seen is Speed Racer, and maybe parts of one episode of Pokemon my nephew was watching? But I’ve still totally got this guys!” school of anime parodies.

      I fucking hate shallow parodies.

      The same episode also parodied a lot of 80’s cartoons; Namely Smurfs and GI Joe, and did a much better job of doing so… Mostly because the writers had actually seen Smurfs and GI Joe.
