My brother was watching Dexter's Laboratory and the bad guy I swear looked a lot like a cross between Lord Il Pilazzo (his cloak) and like a Ahb from Banner of the Stars and it completely freaked me out. it was a cheap makover and it's annoying. Some one tell me what you think about this.

Tezuka was influenced by Betty Boop...so maybe they owe it to us.

I didn't see the show, but it wouldn't shock me to find out they had some "inspiration." *shrug* Color me indifferent.

Why do we have to talk about this? Shows always, in some time of their running, make fun of one or more shows. It's just a way to fill in because they couldn't find a new idea or they just wanted laugh.

I hate Dexter's Lab (or you could say cartoons in general). But some are okay...
Anyway, I've seen the episode you're talking about, and if they can draw that much better for the bad guy, then why don't they try a bit harder for the regular cartoon?

Are you talking about Dexters Lab or Kids Next Door?

2 things: Time and Money. They just don't want to put that much time and money on each and every episode they make. Plus every cartoon has it's own style, so I think it's okay.

Thrers also the 2 or so episodes where the Dexter's family dresses up in uniforms and pilot a combined robot. Not all US cartoons are bad. Dexter's Lab and Billy and Mandy are pretty funny and witty. The new TMNT and Transformers: Beast Wars are pretty inteligent action/scifi shows.

Hahaha yeah I saw that one. With Lord Hikochu...that was hillarious. I also saw the Speed Racer one, that was a classic...But yeah, so they "made fun" of anime..so what? I think it is funny, just the way they preseted this guy who was supposed to be all powerful and he was an effiminate werido.
