The Simpsons had some fun last night in their “Treehouse of Horror XXV” Halloween episode, imagining a world where multiple incarnations of the Simpsons family has been created by an evil marketing entity.
Amongst them was a tribute to some popular anime titles, including Attack on Titan, Naruto, Pokémon, Bleach, One Piece, and Spirited Away.
The episode went on to pay homage to Adventure Time, Archer, Despicable Me, and more.
If you want to see the full episode in its entirety, you can catch it on Hulu next week, or watch it now with Hulu+.
Earlier in the year, The Simpsons also made a nod towards the works of director Hayao Miyazaki.
