    Wakfu show

    Anyone else been watching this at all?

    YouTube - Wakfu episode 1 opening scene

    I knot there are several other shows, but i still go "French. Anime. Wut."

    There are a bunch of subbed episodes, but i'm not gonna spam a bunch of rapidshare/megaupload links to start with.

    Interesting stuff, I wouldn't know if I would watch it continually but I do like that western animation style. Very fluid and colourful. Definitely seeing some Japanese influences more in the style, which is nice I guess.

    Also, I suck at french, but it's weird reading subtitles to a language you kind of know.

    Hmm, technically the first "traditional (hand-drawn) animation" made was French.

    Anime, specifically refers to the Japanese style though, so saying "didnt anime start in france" is a little bit... off.

    Anime = Animation = Cartoon

    Might watch this anime though, bonus points for french doing something cool like this and pulling it off

    Really like the style as well. Stumbled upon this in /tg/ on 4chan but only got a few episodes before the thread died. Actually, was the same set of links, much appreciated.

    You know... I saw hentai pics and they were labeled wakfu.. of some elvaan female women... I guess this is what its related too, and here I was thinking it was just some character name an artist made up O_o

    Didn't know it would endup being some french animation

    Well that's why the art style looked familiar, I remember trying out Doofus for a few days when it first came out. Whether it's based on the game or not, as long as it has good animation and story telling, it might be worth keeping up with.
