Coming Attractions: The Simpsons go anime

 If you're a fan of the anime, Death Note, it might interest you to know that you're not alone.

You can count some creative personnel on The Simpsons among its fans.

What we're learning is that this year, the series' annual Treehouse of Horror will include a vignette inspired by and paying tribute to Death Note. The Korean animators hired for this segment gave the family a completely new look, as opposed to the golden yellow skin that is Matt Groening's trademark.



What we can tell you is that the regular cast will still be intact. A clip of this segment is already viral, with Yeardley Smith as Lisa.

Personally, I'd love to see a full episode in anime format. There's your next challenge.

I haven't watched The Simpsons in years, but those anime character designs look decent. I'll give them that.

A much deserved improvement.
