My Choice for the New “Doctor”

If it were up to me to pick the new Doctor for Doctor Who, I’d have gone with Paul Johnson’s fake-anime version made in 2010. It’s based on the Third Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee from 1970 to 1974. Here’s real Pertwee…

…and here’s anime Pertwee, doing something the real Pertwee couldn’t: dropping some smackdown science on thugs in an alley!

Johnson’s anime Doctor Who takes place in Tokyo, so he’s seen fit to give him a Japanese companion, Tomo Kajiura, who seems to be a cop who prefers to wear Daisy Dukes:

It even has UNIT’s Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, still complaining that too many aliens are bulletproof:

There seems to be a legal requirement for anime, even fake non-Japanese anime, to have at least one schoolgirl uniform:

Of course, it’s not Doctor Who without bad guys. There’s The Master, see here in front of one of Japan’s ubiquitious canned coffee-dispensing machines. The coffee logo in the cartoon, Coffee Master, is modelled after the real-life brand Boss Coffee:

I rather like this faux-Japanese treatment of the Cybermen:

And of course the Daleks are there too:

It’s all pretty amusing, and it’s pure crack for someone who appreciates both Doctor Who and anime. Enjoy!
