I really like these clips of Doctor Who characters done in anime style. It includes sound bites from the original Doctor Who.

That, was one ofthe most BADASS things I have ever seen.

I mean sure it was full of various cliches, the various Companions being reduced to scantily clad big breasted chicks DID irk me... But, So much ELSE was pure AWESOME

Wow.. i'm not even a fan of the show and that looked really good.

Surprisingly not too bad, though some of the ideas seemed. . .well, out of place. Kind of surprised they went with Pertwee's Doctor, but I guess he makes the most sense if you want fisticuffs.

I am left speechless. Although his animation is definitely better than the ones used in David Tennant's cartoon version, and this is despite me not being a particular fan of the anime.

That being said, if by some fluke BBC decided to create another DW animated story and tasked someone with a similar style and equal talent, I might consider getting it.

Technically, very good. I'm not a fan of the beanpole proportions, though. Or the Master's '80s shoulderpads.

I was disappointed when the chick in her underwear appeared, as well as the scene with the sword and dude shooting sideways with the pistol. Call me a snob purist, but those two don't stupid elements don't need to be adopted into an anime version of Dr.Who.

Otherwise, it was awesome. The scenes were pretty awesome, except the two I described above.

EDIT: Actually, if that scene with the katana and the gangsta-wannabe would be some yakuza thugs getting their ass handed to them, I could forgive that.

Also, call me a purist, but is it more or does the doctor appear much more violent than he usually is?

That.. was pretty damned good. Couple of iffy bits that the people above have pointed out, but other than that, awesome. I'm almost tempted to keep tabs on this guy's work.

Edit: Looks like he's also going for some of the less recurring villains. I, for one, welcome our malevolent not quite Egyptian overlord.

Pertwee's Doctor was rather big on showing off his physical skills, so it's mostly in character for the 2nd Doctor.

That was a fairly solid amount awesome there. I like the cybermen especially.

I also have to echo the WTF on turning his assistants into bikini clad teenagers

Third doctor actually.

I have to echo that bikini clad assistant part. It just made things look out of place.

I second that.

What? Are you by any means implying that scantily clad big-breasted anime girls can match... say, Freema Agyeman's and Billie Piper's acting?

HERESY!!!

Well, he's always been more of a science guy than an action hero, yes, but after 900+ years roaming around time-space, you'd reasonably expect to have picked up some mean martial arts skills, wouldn't you? I would. It's a refreshing break from the usual canon, IMHO.

The first Doctor expressed considerable glee after schooling a Roman assassin in hand to hand combat and tossing him out the window, though he once stated that he disliked weapons. The third Doctor was a practioner of Venusian aikido and frequently engaged in physical combat with people (most notably he is thrown into a pit fight in Peladon). The fourth Doctor was adept in combat as well, dominating a swordfight against the best duellist of a planet, got into a pretty serious fight with a clone of himself, and once almost snapped a man's neck.

The Doctor isn't exactly a pacifist, he just doesn't resort to violence where necessary. The second Doctor once killed someone, for example, and the fourth Doctor spent an entire episode trying to kill someone, simply because they were driven to thep oint where they had no other option.

Didn't Tennant's Doctor also defeated someone in a swordfight? I know Eccleston's Doctor was wanting to kill that Dalek.

When? The only one of the first eight Doctors I can think of who killed someone was the Sixth in "The Two Doctors".

Beat him and then dropped him onto London from a kilometre up.

Got a gun and everything.

Oops, I got mixed up. I was thinking of The Two Doctors, but got the second mixed up with the sixth. It was the sixth who killed Shockeye (of the Quawncing Grig!) with cyanide. Though strictly speaking the fourth killed someone in The Ribos Operation, I suppose.

That chick looks fucking retarded - and also demonstrates it's doomed to anime cliches btw - but her tits are in no way 'huge'. 'Huge' = 'over 100cms you don't bother counting anymore'.

I'm amazed when one guy can do stuff like that. Almost makes me want to learn how to do it, but I know it would take more effort than I can reliably put into just about anything. It's a good "proof of concept" though, even if it is packed with anime cliches for its own sake. The Doctor beating up some chavs = worth crazy looking girl.

That chick looks fucking retarded

To be fair my automatic thought was 'hey, she's at least wearing more clothes than Leela'.

Yes, I am aware that this is inaccurate.

Yeah, it's always impressive when someone starts animating stuff on their own stuff, even if it's just small clips. For example, this clip is pretty astounding for just some random dude.

I really love the final bit. "OMG DALEK COMM CHATTER *drool*" ;>.>

The whole thing is rather delightfully 90s. I'm not sure why I don't consider that bad.

That is a damn impressive fanwork, even if it did have no shortage of Cliche. I second the doctor beating up Chavs as being the highpoint, although the Cybermen and Dalek bridge scene were also pretty interesting.

The chick, just seems out of place, like what every one else had just said. However, I do think that I can forgive him for the chick... Everything else seems to be extremely good...

Drool...

I liked the old "state the obvious" tendency with the Daleks. It had a car thrown on it, and then noticed it was under attack.

The chick isn't the issue itself; it's that the chick demonstrates the 'fan' making this is subject to all the asinine stereotypes of anime, which will be fucking terrible. Technically it's great, but since it's being made by someone so hamstrung by convention it's doomed.

I'm curious: what's terrible about the stereotypes of anime?
