When it comes to cult media fans, it’s hard to find followers more fervid than both anime aficionados and the folks who live and breathe Doctor Who. It’s not surprising then that someone went all Reeses Peanut Butter Cup on ‘em, figuring they’d be two great tastes that taste great together. The result is what looks to be some impressive homemade Dr. Who anime.
I say “looks to be” because the finished fan film isn’t available yet. Paul “OtaKing” Johnson, a 31-year-old amateur animator from Sheffield, UK, is still hard at work knocking out his Who flick where the Good Doctor kicks some serious, er, backside. Below is a little “behind the scenes” teaser featurette he made, illustrating how he created a scene where bad guys make the mistake of trying to jump our hero.
As an anime oddity, it’s interesting to watch, but can this style carry a whole flick? Can two distinct genres share a fan film without driving each other crazy? Let’s hope finishes this intriguing project so we can find out.
