The Futurama episode "Reincarnation" was the last of the season. The episode is split into three segments. The first segment is in black and white, the second being an 8-bit video game and the third is anime.
The story of these three segments are loosely connected. Basically, a Diamondium comet is spotted and the crew goes to gather dust from it. Now there are a lot of things to like in this episode.
In each story, the different kinds of animation are effectively, yet affectionately lampooned. It's clear that this episode was a labor of love for all involved. Each segment is successful and uniquely funny in the way they explore the different platforms.
The 6th season of Futurama, I think accurately, has been accused of having some quality issues. Then episodes like this one come along and remind us all why Futurama developed such a cult following and ultimately started airing new episodes again.
