That sounds really like a lot of funny bits we could see of looney toon characters talking shit to anime characters. I can see it now.

Bugs bunny and vegeta getting into an argument about rabbit season vs monkey season before the ol' switcheroo: Bugs "Wrabbit Season". Vegeta "Monkey Season, BLAST EM!" then frieza blasts Vegeta.

Spike Spiegel and Yosemite Sam getting into an western duel, where Spike basically just does bugs bunny stuff.

Comment your dumbest ideas like mine below.

I just wanna see cute girl moe blobs doing Wile E Coyote/Road Runner, Bugs Bunny/Daffy Duck, Daffy Duck/Porky Pig, Sam/Ralph hijinks.

That's all I ever want. But I also really want an anime girl going through what Daffy goes through slapstick wise, mainly the part in the Robin Hood episode where Daffy gets hit by a bunch of trees.

I've now been thinking about this for way too long, Looney Tunes are a long time favourite of mine...

Pepe le Pew and Asuka, before getting beast mode Unit-02 in his face
Pepe le Pew and Fern, before getting Zoltraak in his face
Pepe le Pew and Zero suit Saber, before getting Excalibur in his face
Pepe le Pew and Winry, before getting a big wrench in his face
Repeat as required...

Wile E Coyote repeatedly trying to kill Vash the Stampede

Full episode Duck Dodgers/Space Dandy crossover, wiiiiiith...
Pepe le Pew and Meow

This meme has been great. Among the Looney Tunes characters, Foghorn Leghorn has always stood out thanks to his distinctive, blustery way of speaking (which was apparently inspired by the radio character Senator Claghorn from The Fred Allen Show), so there's a lot of humor you can mine from that. It's nice to see Foghorn's current voice actor get in on the joke, too.

Better than semantic arguing. Also Foghorn’s voice is comedy gold.

Boy, I say, boy! You went outta ya dang country back road way to use "Monkey Season, BLAST EM!"? Really? Now listen here, son, you had the opportunity to use "Monkey Season, GALLICK GUN FIRE!" and didn't? What's the sense in referencing two quotes that use the same dang nabbit word and then not use the dang nabbit word?

I live in South Carolina. I always refer to my governor as Governor Foghorn Leghorn on account of how much Governor Henry McMaster sounds like him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEQGNwdTQXM

For a long time,I've liked it when the worlds of American and Japanese animation intersect with each other. So,I really enjoyed seeing Foghorn Leghorn talk with anime characters. Having it done by the voice actor himself is a real treat and I'd love to see them animated one of these days. I'd really enjoy that and I think others would too.
