- (6/29/23 UPDATE: Wow, over 100,000 views after uploading this five days ago! Did I create a new Simpsons meme or something?!)
An edit to the Simpsons episode "HOMR" and its' animation festival scene I couldn't resist doing, thanks to the language options on Disney+! Bart Simpson watches that weird "Transformazoids" anime, but this time, instead of it being an English dub, it's an English sub with the original Japanese voice tracks! It honestly sounds a lot cooler this way, combining the Japanese voices with Alf Clausen's stereotypical "anime" music of the time.

What 'Kill La Kill' would look like in the 'Simpsons' universe.
Krill La Krill
No wait. he has a point
Totally
@@sandyscrapwitch2064one of the best comments I’ve seen in a while
I’d love to see that. Simpsons needs to add more spin offs reference like from anime’s
Lisa is upset that she'll never be as cool, confident, or biomechanical as Princess Tempura.
you can just feel the feminism in her spirit😂
👍 Well said
@@Kishiwii This was probably from the 90s, before the flanderization. No one uses the term "Japanimation" anymore.
Edit: It's from 2001, close enough.
@@mattwo7 I think you replied to the wrong comment, bud
Besides, anime is just Japanese animation shortened. It would have been funny to hear people say that though. Bet they'd get tongue tied at times
@@KishiwiiI hate to be the one to "uhm ackshoeuhlee," but anime is just short for animation.
アニメーション was shortened to アニメ and it stuck. Western society has it in our brains that anime is specifically Japanese animation, but in Japan, they just call American cartoons, "anime." Anything animated is anime.
I love the subtlety of the weak translation, like saying "Your laugh is incorrect," instead of something such as "You won't be laughing for long."
As AI translation gets better only older people would get this jokes
Some said that true meaning of a language is lost in the translation. Not this one 😂
Especially for the time that this episode was made.
Oh... I thought the line actually was "Your laugh is incorrect"!
"Don't be so sure of yourself!"
"Don't get too cocky!"
"That's what YOU think!"
"You're going to eat your words!"
"Laugh it up...while you can!"
This is fun
I feel like they were trying to make a gag here about how Japan is so wacky and ridiculously nonsensical at times, but instead, this comes off as pretty normal as far as anime standards go
😂 lol
at the time, the ones people were aware of, this was a slight exaggeration of. Then Trigger started making things way more over the top than this.
Wait, was it supposed to be a parody?
It's like the Mister Sparkle commercial. To us, it's over the top. To them, that's nothing.
This feels like an arc 2 fight of the series.
The main characters have some abilities and are gaining confidence, but haven't been served the awakening to the real game being played yet.
Bart has a waifu now.
His family has definatley walked in on him while he was waching the princess Tempura fanservice scenes
@@partymantis3421 _"Haha they won't hear the m/ans because I wear headpho- oh God oh F connecting to living room TV?!"_
@@ultimaxkom8728My constant fear while watching amateur adult videos.
Does he technically count as Weeb now?
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 Bart Weeb Simpson
I like how Meganaut gets hit once and then chickens out 😂
Average battle versus the protagonist
they didn't even go through three episodes of powering up
I like how he turns into shoes to run away
He's smart, that's Princess Tempura he's dealing with. Best to cut losses when he can.
He got back tailed through a cinder block wall, I can’t blame him for retreating from an enemy that damaging
The last frame of this video perfectly illustrates the anime fan vs non-fan. Happiness vs confusion. Excellent.
It could have been a normal American cartoon and Lisa still would have been confused. She shelters herself from anything that normal people would find entertaining.
@@Ability-King-KK I love anime and stuff STILL confuses me.
It's kinda hilarious how Simpsons interpretation of anime looks exactly the same as the normal cartoon style, but eye colouring...
Changing styles would have rally messed up with production time back then (storyboarding, first drafts , clean-ups and all that stuff).
They could have outsourced it like they did recently with the Death Note parody but that Is not cheap either.
@@bryangutierrez6679 I'm glad they didn't outsource it, this just make Anime in the Simpsons universe canonically hyper realistic compared to them but with eye colour.
Good, can't wait for all the other animation out there.
@@bryangutierrez6679 Yeah, this episode already had a bit of outsourcing with the “Gravey and Jobriath” sequence, with stop-motion animation by the Chiodo Bros. (In their very first gig with the Simpsons, no less!)
It's funny that everything else is so spot on for a parody of 90s anime that I didn't even notice.
0:31 that transformation scene impressed the hell out of me as a kid.
Animation wise it's really impressive
It's pretty well animated ngl, very satisfying
It impressed me as an adult
mieganuts moment'
It still does
This is great, plus it is a lot easier to watch than the anime scene from "Thirty Minutes Over Tokyo".
Probably cuz this one doesn’t cause seizures
Battling seizure robots is my favroit animie
I dunno, it's not as memorable as Battling Seizure Robots.
The Japan episode is my favourite simpsons episode
I sat through "battling seizure robots" and I don't see why people were so upset. Honestly, it's up there with the Mattel and Mars Bar Chocobot Power Hour.
There are two types of people who witness anime. People like Bart, and people like Lisa.
Bart is definitely me and some of my friends in middle school
You're forgetting the 3rd secret challenger: the people who think anything animated is for children, including the classics like La Blue Girl and Urotsukidoji.
@@ThePopo543 I think you are confusing the concepts of “for children” and “childish.” There is anime with enough depth to interest functioning adults - Kill La Kill and Girls Last Tour for example - but, no, something doesn’t stop being childish because it has tentacle rape.
@@TheGreatAmphibian tell that to the boomers who think all animated stuff is for kids. Did you hear about the angry parents walking out of Sausage Party with their kids in tow? Yup.
Wait wt- f do you mean by "it doesn't stop being childish cuz it has tentacle r-word"? Sounds kinda sus.
@@ThePopo543 ..Dumbing this all the way down, when people call you childish they are not saying that they think you should hang out with their kids! (The opposite is probably true.) What they are saying is that you have failed to become a functioning adult.
Whoever they got to voice this sequence was 100% committed to it. The scream for Meganaut's transformation is just peak 🤣
Not sure who meganut is voiced by, but his voice reminds me of Mako, who voiced Aku in Samaurai jack.
@@triangleofdeath6246 one of its roles is definitely Guildo Masta Makarov
That's called being a werewolf. It's a little painful, but a great experience.
Is it bad I’d actually watch Transformazoids if it was a real show.
With complex lore and dialogue to boot
Looks interesting enough for me
No we all would
It is
A samurai that turns into a robot mermaid fighting another samurai that turns into a robot wolf, sign me up
Saw this on Twitter and a lot of people got confused as to why it was called “japanimation” lol. That was how American television channels that were airing anime referred it to as back in the 90s. Specifically channels like Sci-Fi
Sure, but when this episode aired and was produced Anime was the more widely used word.
It'd be like if a show today used moving pictures to describe cartoons because that was a commonly used term decades ago. You can explain it, but it's still an odd thing to do.
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917Actually "moving pictures" means film
it's also funnier
@@sonicfanboy3375 Isn't that a term used in "The Legend of Korra"?
@@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 Maybe some people still used "Japanimation" when this episode aired.
The animators really understood the assignment on this one. She hit him so hard he went clear through a brick wall from the force of it
Agreed.
Bart went on to buy the entire blu-ray collection and a "Tempura-hime" body pillow.
*VHS or DVD, this was 2001
As he should.
I hate bidy pillows tbh
I'm am absolutely certain there's an anime or 2 out there with a scene just like that.
Kill la kill lmao
I think there are more, and even worse
Trigun?
Fate/Stay Night
Nope, but only because of the mechanical transforming mermaid tail. If it wasn't for that there'd be a few
Probably how my parents see anime. XD
Anna what?
Oh. You mean Japanimation.
@@wellesradio yeah, that. XD
@@wellesradio Boy oh boy, I sure do like saying 5 syllables when I could say 3.
Of course, "cartoons" is only two.
So, your parents saw Kill La Kill..?
Annie-May? Who is she?
This is an average ramen commercial in Japan lol
Also the guy turning into a wolf robot only to use a spiderweb style attack just slayed me 😂
Thank you, I was searching the comments for someone else noticing that
🤣
Ah yes the useless transformation 😂
That's actually what Lisa comments about immediately after this clip cuts off. She says "I'm confused, why does the wolf shoot a web...?"
@@dark7element I know some animes or games from Japan do this. Like how somehow Charzard is not a dragon type in Pokemon even though it's a fire breathing reptile with wings. Or some Mega-Man bosses having weakness that make no sense.
Lmao that was actually pretty cool. You can tell they were familiar with actual subbed anime at the time. Makes me think specifically of digimon with the english name call out. It captured the tropes perfectly down to the music and lines. Distinct yet familiar parody is much better than slapping a naruto headband on bart and calling it a day.
If this was an actual anime series I watch it 😂
I know right!
It is. Its called transformers Armada.
Can I interest you in “Kill la Kill”?
@@joshualee4720 saw it and I still craving for more 🥰
Word 😂
I still refer to it as Japanimation to this day.
Then you're one of the last living of the early generation weebs.
Your kind will surely be missed but respected and never forgetten.
That technically is the correct name for it (even if it not the most tactful). in Japan any animation is called “anime” not just stuff made there.
I remember being an actual early weeb ( we're called paleotaku) and being annoyed that everyone called it Japanimation instead of anime back in the day. I remember when everyone called it: a fad, degenerate, created by Satan,, the product of slant eyed morons and their stupid rice bowl culture. Now look.
@@Caughtintheinterweb remember that "chai tea" joke from across the spider verse, well you can put "anime style" in the same cathegory since its basically "animation style".
Same thing with manga since its the literally translation of comic in japanese
Super Troopers introduced us to "Afghanistanimation!"
good to see Bart is a man of culture
Agreed.
he'll be watching pole vaulting and long jumping videos before you know it....
He really just “peace’d out” by turning into some red shoes. 😂
👞👟
" WHAT ARE THOSE ?! "
As an added dimension to the joke, these were a fairly popular toy at the time for whatever reason. A pair of small, wind-up walking sneakers, usually red and made of plastic. You'd often see them in the "attract bin" at mall toy stores along with other noisy wind-up and battery powered toys you could try in the bin like a flower that danced to music or a magnetic fishing game that was everywhere for a while.
Laughed when Meganaut turned himself into a pair of shoes and ran away!

すごい！セリフは日本語だ。
スタッフのこだわりを感じる
残念ですが、それは投稿者が日本語吹替版のシーンを混ぜたからだけです。
@@user-vo6hy4ns5n Yeah well, that subtitle's done by the Simpsons, not the uploader so don't blame him for the poor translation. Actually the scene's all done by the Simpsons.
@@wetyewruyrtsutrdhjfg True, but the anime part wasn't originally in Japanese.
So you want a real life, down to earth show, that’s totally off the wall and swarming with magic robots?
Heh, that could also sum up "Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated"!
The kids want Neon Genesis Evangelion.
@@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece ^ beat me too it lol
That's Rick And Morty.
Regular Show
Light Yagami:"Want more?"
Bart Simpson:"Man, I hate TV Crossovers!"
Shame the Bartcasting takeover of Fox Kids didn't have any crossovers like when Hank Hill replaced the Power Cosmic on Silver Surfer's board with propane (I am not making this up)
There was a Simpson segment based on Death note. Even hired Death notes animators
*Light Yagami:* No respect for crossovers? I guess that means we won't be friends....Bart. *Writes down Bart's name*
@@Shanethefilmmaker Sideshow Bob: Are you kidding? That’s all I had to do?
@@potsdam28 the manga in Bongo Comics was way better.
I'd love to watch this as a full show.
Dude this is literally the Transformers animes with subs, someone uploaded all of Armada and Beast Wars II on youtube if you're interested.
Totemo Damasa re Yasui, and maybe enjoy?
SAME HERE! 💙
It's called "The Simpsons". Been around for a while 😞
@@bobbobertson9325He's talking about the fictional anime
Bruh, I started googling to find voice actors, it said that it was voiced by Hank Azaria and Tress MacNeille, I thought how they really nailed it and that they're even better VAs then I thought. Only to read video info... Great job.
"It stands for Otaku Convention. An otaku is a guy like me who likes Japanimation."
And now Simpsons has become the Japanimation. Full Circle.
If it was actually Anime they would've dragged that out over 3 episodes
Too true!
Maybe it was an ova
That's only on long-running TV series that are based on a manga. This does look like it could be one of those shows, though.
@@CrizzyEyes Yes, that is the racist definition Americans use for 'anime', only the bottom tier syndicated shonen.
it helps them keep most of the better animation out of the market competition by simpy not callng it 'animation', and give more airing slots to Velma with Hong Kong animators disappearing behind their sweatshop conditions.
Only if it was a retro anime. Modern anime doesn't do that anymore.
The really nailed the 80s OVA Music Vibes
They got even the audio quality of old anime, the staff is always on another level
I was pleasantly surprised they used japanese voices for this part in the Simpsons but then I read the video description..
Yep, I guess my edit was good enough to fool you!
same. i thought this was an alternate cut scene since i watched this episode alot as a kid since i taped it. and this scene had the wonky japanese accents all japanese simpsons characters have.
This looked more like splash woman fighting magma dragoon
I'd watch that fight though
Magma Dragoon would obliterate Splash Woman though (Fairy Leviathan would be a fair fight).
The japanese voices fits the japanimation better. Sounds more awsome. 💙
I love that her name is Tempura and she can transform into a shrimp.
0:40 out of all transformations in this clip. The sun makes me laugh the most
The way they made her look like major kusunagi💀
I would like to this Anime parody in a Manga or web series someday!
They were able to make an anime style INSIDE the Simpsons style. Thats pretty awesome
Back then, I thought this show was real. Not gunna lie, if it was, I'd watch it ❤
Everything about this parody is so great! I especially love the music and voices. The music sounds super "90's Japanese" and I would love to know who voices both Princess Tempura and Meganaut, because their voices are so awesome!
Tress MacNeille and Hank Azaria.
@@Rocket1377I think they meant the Japanese voices.
@@jamesgreene6113 yes, I meant the Japanese voices.
@@tiagobettencourt9151, Meganaut was voiced by the late Tōru Ōhira, who voiced Homer Simpson in the Japanese dub.
@@ZakWolfno wonder it sounded so familiar
Damn i remember when they used to call anime "Japanimation", that brings me back. They used to have a whole section marked Japanimation at the Blockbuster I went to
You'd think this is a parody, but then you see Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, and you realize this was a subtle, downplayed representation.
"Henshin Mega-ebi Tail" is a better line than "Activate Prawn Power", not gonna lie.
Agreed!
I can see this being a real 80's anime.
That would've been nice!
OMG. I remember this episode, so hilarious. Thanks for the throwback. Keep up the great job.
What is this episode?
I would watch the hell out of this anime.
It's based on an 80's anime called 'Totemo Damasa re Yasui", there's a temple priestess named Chuko Shitagi who loses her legs during some sort of accident caused during a fight, and a scientist replaces her ruined legs from the hips down with a mechanical mermaid tail. The enemy faction does have a man who can turn into a mechanical wolf, but he's not a very important character.
@@darkmask5933 literally no results on google.
@@johndaniel7161 Hmmm maybe I have the name wrong? Trying putting the anime name in a Japanese to English translator?
I like how fluently they merged anime drawing style with Simpsons drawing style.
I really felt it when he said「ロボット界は、俺の物だ」
This whole thing, including the translations, is incredibly, deeply accurate, to both Japanese and Japanese translations into English.
Se nota que usaron bien el presupuesto
The trope of women fighting in high heels continues to this day with the Gerudo from tloz
And may it never die. Amen.
Good
What is dead may never die
Mostly just BotW, AoC and TotK, in the N64 days, they used to dress like Persian belly dancers, with those shoes usually associated with genies with the curled pointy tips in front (did Persian belly dancers even wear shoes?). Now they're dressed like proper warriors, though I am not at all certain where their outfits came from
Fighting in heels IN SAND. Now you know why they're so built.
I was invested until the prawn mode and the boots.
This scene always cracked my up. Matt Groening nailed it.
If Transformazoids was a real anime I'd watch it!
That's exactly what Japan thinks what American cartoons would think what Anime looks like.
That's my favorite scene from evangelion.
Nobody is going to mention the booth of unsold Poochie merch in the background?
that fight would've lasted at least 15 episodes
I prefer this to the original scene from HOMR, great job.
I hate that they didn’t show what Lisa said afterwards, that was funny.
What she said
@@agsdragon5475 she was asking why was the wolf spinning a web and Bart said that animation doesn’t have to make sense and then a great gazoo expy appears
When she missed the point of the wolf being a robot?
The flag at the end is amazing XD
This looks awesome ^^
I loved how they mixed Transformers and Anime here.
... You do know Transformers is a Japanese property right?
Just like Voltron.
@@E4439Qv5
Yeah 👍 and Pacific Rim.
Transformers was always partly Japanese
@@monkeynt5780
Cool 😎👍
Seasons 10, 11, 12, and 13 of the Simpsons are better than most people remember.
The show was going downhill by this time, but more than half of the episodes are still very enjoyable. I was in late elementary and then middle school during that era, and while the show still had several pretty good episodes, it wasn’t as good as when I was a lot younger (yep, I got to grow up with the glory years of the show!)
@@ZakWolf Wow, your parents let you watch The Simpsons? Especially since there’s some severely inappropriate moments?
@@wizardoferror9942 Yep! Though of course I think they screened some of the episodes first. Plus, in the early 1990s, the show was fairly raunchy, but nowhere as raunchy as the much later seasons, or “Family Guy” or “South Park” or whatever. In fact, at such a young age, I was amazed at how a cartoon could be pretty realistic, even with the yellow-skinned humans. (I especially remember that with watching “Lisa’s First Word” when I was four years old; the scene where Patty kisses baby Lisa reminded me so much of when some relatives would kiss me.)
@@ZakWolf Exactly.
Here’s something I must address about a show’s decline in quality: some episodes of recent seasons of a show can still be good.
Family Guy has had a lot of eh or crap episodes in seasons 7, 8, and 9, but there are still some very good episodes from those seasons.
So when I owned Volumes 6, 7, 8, and 9, there were select episodes I only went back to. Too many to name.
Edit: I got bored of South Park fast. They kinda overstayed their welcome after seven seasons IMO. The series died when Chef left.
@@wizardoferror9942 Yep, pretty much! I feel Seasons 4 to 5 were “Family Guy”’s peak, with some of their best episodes ever.
And just last year they made an anime segment for Treehouse of Horror.
女性のほうはわかりませんが悪役の声優は辻親八さんですね。
日本語版シンプソンズでジョーやカールの声を担当されていた方です。
Watching the clip over and over, I feel like Princess Tempura's voice could either be Megumi Toyoguchi or Kikuko Inoue. I may be wrong, though.
That's pretty tame as far as anime plots go
True
Yeah. Bart would totally enjoy Mythical Bird Girls.
Dear god, that was amazing. I feel like I should be ashamed to admit that I would 100% watch whatever show that was. x_x
I've been looking for this clip for the longest time, and somehow the algorithm knew to show it to me!
Lisa: Wait! I’m confused. Why does the wolf shoot a web?
Rule number one of anime. Do not question anime logic.
Bart: Cartoons don't have to make sense
@@charizardag Ozmodiar: He's right you know.
Well, there is such a thing as wolf spiders. Maybe he's a spider wolf.
I was pleasantly surprised that that was the observation Lisa wanted to make instead of some complaint about how it was "objectifying women" or something, lol
Man I'm not the biggest Anime fan but this was one of the weirder Simpsons scenes but it's weirdly funny lol.
That anime girl looks like the original concept art for Disenchantment.
It never ceases to amaze me how well the Simpsons writers back then completely understood and conveyed what anime is.
The entirety of Beast Wars' japanese dub feels like this
😅
Of course, Lisa disapproves.
Lmao,love how well this is.
Especially if you notice the change in both sound design and animation, lmao
I like how Princess Tempura literally says "Transform: Mega Shrimp Tempura!" when she transforms. 😂
If they are a cartoon watching another cartoon. Does that mean they are watching a live action scene?
Also, something that I noticed is how the anime characters looks like toys, that they sounds like they were recorded in an VHS and how the bad guy escape by transforming into another toy just lile the transformers one.
Itchy and Scratchy was a cartoon.
Well...Matt Groening needs too officially make transformazoids an official show now. No other choice. The shoes 👟 👟 are goated btw.
Agreed.
Not anime-like enough.
Not enough characters screaming at the top of their lungs.
Or characters using a really bizarre attack then stopping the whole fight to explain how their convoluted ability works for 5min or so.
Or characters being surprised by their enemy then internal monologuing for too long like "What? How did my attack not work? What is this incredible power I never have seen before?" or something like that.
Or characters standing with their arms crossed bragging for too long about their Power Levels and how much percent of their power they were using.
Ok but I kinda like it.
I've always watched this in Spanish, so I didn't know that in the original it had Japanese voices and it honestly makes it 100 times better XD
It didn't. This video has been edited to include the japanese version of that scene.
Lisa came READY to hate🤣
The day bart discovered waifus
Then Lisa will start getting angry at how Japan treats women!
Aww bart is growing so fast, he is already a man of culture 😭
Word.
"Japanimation"
You are OLD Bart
Me when I go to an anime or animation convention.
This is my favorite Simpsons anime parody.
I want a full season of this anime instead of new Simpsons.
Did they predict Ryuko Matoi?
Yes
I remember watching this and knowing about anime and having a good laugh about it....Nice to watch it again.
I remember when this change from cartoon to anime style also happened in the Animaniacs cartoon, this sudden change with action scenes is really cool.
Same here! I actually enjoyed the "Animaniacs" revival quite a bit.
I love that poochie is in the background
Looks kinda cool ngl.
Being a DBZ kid, I'd totally watch Princess Tempura MegaNaut.
The Japanese sun at the end lmao
This is genius by the Simpson writers. Not only did they a get a badass looking anime into the series, but they completely slipped in another trope with Tempura's flesh toned suit from behind.
Watched it solely in thumbnail preview and I missed out on nothing. Simpsons visual jokes on point.
