Grand Theft Anime
Apparently in the newest Grand Theft Auto: Tales from Liberty City game, a certain Japanese animation has become very popular — and that anime is Princess Robot Bubblegum. I don’t know how this actually shows up in the game, or if this trailer was made for any reason other than as a brutally anime-mocking viral video, but… it’s rather well done. The tragedy is that I would totally watch an anime called Princess Robot Bubblegum. Sigh. Thanks to LBD “Nytetayn” for the tip.
