On Cartoon Network, there is a show called "The Amazing World of Gumball" which follows a duo of anthropomorphic kids as they go through life's daily mishaps. In a certain episode, their mother fights another mother in classic anime style, accompanied with some Japanese animation as well. For this fight, the animating crew hired some guest animators from Studio 4°C, who are also responsible for the 2D animation in the games Catherine and Asura's Wrath, and many other movies and game cutscenes. It is drastically different from the show's main animation style, and it is a show that likes to delve in the combination of 2D and 3D animation. The fight is characteristic of cliche anime: the sparkles, the eyes, the attacks. However, that does not mean the fight was badly animated. In anime style, the scene was what the animating team was looking for, and it still retained the show's humor. It may seem slow/lazy to some, but that is how Japanese animation is. To see the fight, click on the video shown below.
They showed the difference of the two animated styles. It was funny how Darwin and Gumball looked
