An Anime Version of ‘Spongebob Squarepants’ Hit the Internet and Everyone is Freaking Out
Narmak, a young animator based in the US, turned our favorite childhood show, 'Spongebob Squarepants', into an anime.
Ever wondered what would happen if Spongebob somehow crossed over with Naruto, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, Food Wars: Shokugeki no Souma, Death Note and One Punch Man, and adopted everything shounen and weeaboo? Well, wonder no further, because someone just turned our most unusual fantasy into the most epic anime opening ever.
Narmak, a 20-year-old animator currently based in the US, recently posted an anime version of Spongebob Sqaurepants on both Newgrounds and #YouTube. The video, animated by Narmak from scratch (and without any external help, mind you), made waves over the past few weeks on social media for its outstanding use of classic #anime tropes, ranging from the blistering fight scenes, to the soul-crushing rivalry, to the (not so) subtle homoeroticism between the two main leads.
Even the J-rock song he picked is hella catchy and reminiscent of popular opening themes like Silhouette (from KANA-BOON), Kibou no Uta (from Ultra Tower), and Driver’s High (from L’Arc-en-Ciel). Narmak jokingly describes the sequence as Spongebob “if Spongebob were made by weeaboo trash.”
Check out the video for yourself:
The opening theme is called “Colors of the Heart,” originally sung by UVERworld, but covered here by Japanese Utaite teksy.
Just when we thought #Spongebob couldn’t possibly get any better. You’re welcome.

This ‘Fairly Odd Parents’ Parody is the American Version of ‘Death Note’ You Didn’t Ask For (But Actually Needed)
Already seen the much-reviled Netflix adaptation of Death Note? Still reeling from how awful it was, cringing from how far removed the output is from the source material? Do you perhaps feel like writing your own name in a death note, to save yourself the frustration of continuing to live in a world where such movies thrive and exist? Are you looking for something to wash your mind clean of the fake Kira you just saw, the fake Light Yagami that had little to do with the true god of the new world?

The Odd Theory That the Universe Contains Just One Electron
The observable cosmos is thought to contain about 1082 atoms. You can therefore reasonably assume that there are at least 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 in the observable universe as well, since every element in the periodic table contains at least one electron.
