I don't know if those would be full of win or lose, but they would be full of something.

Oh, geeze, there are probably hundreds of anime Potter images out there... I think there was a guy who was trying to do a (clean) doujinshi; I wonder if I could find his work... Ah geeze, not in a reasonable amount of time -- there's even more out there than I remembered. Do a Google images search on " 'Harry Potter' anime" and check out what you get.
Oh, and I love the Scooby one, if only because it's the first of its kind I've ever seen.

I *want* the Scooby one.
Seriously, if I was rolling in cash, I'd fund it myself. Damn, that's an awesome image.

I was puzzled at first as to why Fred and Shaggy were wearing black, and then I realized they were in school uniforms.

The Scooby one was commissioned by Wizard magazine a while back...

Okay, but why is Daphne in what looks like a lab coat?

I didnt parse it as a lab coat myself. I parsed it as a pale purple overcoat much like an old western duster or an english overcoat myself.

...and just to come out of left field, I'm just sleepy enough this morning that when my eye fell on the thread title, I thought for a moment "Anime Takes on Westerns", and (ignoring the obvious real examples) started thinking about anime versions of "A Fistful of Dollars", "The Good The Bad And The Ugly" and "My Darling Clementine"...

There's a reason for that...
(Okay, it isn't bad. But it isn't great, either.)

Quote:anime versions of "A Fistful of Dollars"
The irony of that, considering that A Fistful of Dollars is a Western take on a Japanese take of '20s-'30s noir, nearly made me fall out of my chair.

Well, yeah. The whole recursion thing is one of the things that appealed to me about the idea. I left out "Magnificent Seven" because it was too easy, though.
