Wakfu

Wakfu (as well as Dofus) is an animesque French setting about a fantasy world. Originally an MMO vidya called Dofus, a Saturday morning cartoon with a lot of action was made to promote the game (like Transformers, but with a monthly sub fee instead of action figures). The cartoon was called Wakfu and was set 1000 years after the game. It ran for two seasons. It became fairly popular, both at home and in foreign countries like Albion and Eagleland. Then, an MMO for Wakfu was made, taking place a decade before the series. Then, a cartoon for Dofus was made, being intended for a younger audience than the first show. Between all these came several movies, a toy line, a tabletop game called Krosmaster, comics, and a Kickstarter for BLU rays and dubbed episodes that /co/ went into hysteric excitement for a month over.

/tg/ likes it for a some reason. Maybe it's the fantasy setting with a fair amount of new concepts, maybe it's the elf panda and Felinid chicks with big hips, maybe it's just the fact that it's just a rather good cartoon. It's hard to pinpoint why, but the series definitely has some nice hips.

If you want to watch the series, both shows have been fansubbed in English, dubbed in French, and is being officially dubbed in English, Polish, and German. Ask /co/ where to look. /co/ loves Wakfu.

The Wakfu game itself is a free-to-play/pay-to-play MMO in closed beta. It's prequel, DOFUS, follows a similar formula; just that it's already been finished for a while.

Incidentally, if you read this and thought "Hey, that sounds cool, I remember when I used to like cartoons..." you really should go watch a bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2JrWJfdoqk
