Don't know if this was posted before (and it's not real anime) but it's funny:

Wow, they tossed in every negative anime stereotype imaginable. That's...insulting.

Yeah, I feel the same way. You have to admit, they didn't make Popeye look very good either.

That was not funny. It's immature and not even that well done. If they're going to make fun of anime at least do it like South Park or The Simpsons.

Honestly, I enjoy a good parody every now and then, but other than Popeye, this just plain stinks. It's not even worthy of Newgrounds.

I found it funny when they all got surprised and the two girls eyes turned into one huge one. Laughing But yeah I agree with a Tony a bit, there are better parodies out there.

Not so sure I'd call those stereotypes since I've certainly seen more than my fare share of those character types in anime before. Certainly exaggerated things though, but I thought it was hilarious and didn't feel insulted as a fan in the slightest. And I've definatly seen worse make it to the front page of Newgrounds.

It didn't make me laugh. Nothing about it seemed funny. But then again, I've been kind of in a bad mood lately...

It needs a better title.

I thought it was funny, but I like my comedy dark.

"Say, you don't know where a fella could score some Thorazine around here, do ya?, 'cause I'M COMING DOWN AWLFUL HARD!" Laughing

but really Tony K., South Park can be much more tasteless when it comes to its parodies. Think of the Christopher Reeve fetus-sucking episode.

Meh. I haven't even watched South Park in years. I just got tired of it. Guess my sense of humor is fading along with my personality nowadays...

Mood's got nothing to do with it; I was in pretty high spirits when I watched it, and I still thought it sucked. It's just...lame. It's rather poorly-written; I didn't really find any of the parody material to really be funny, and it seemed to me more like "oh, hey, Popeye sees this spastic guy who has weird hair that's so craaaazy whacky it's gotta be funny, right?" Sorry, but no.
