I absolutely loved this episode the old timey beginning was excellent the old school video game middle was awesome too Stephen Hawkings cameo was great "I like physics but I love cartoons" and the anime ending was also great although probably my least favorite of the three. Still overall it might be my new favorite episode

So here is my late review. I like the three stories but I thought the black and white version was really cute. Leela and Fry are just too cute together I didn't like the 8 bit version much because I thought it was slow. The Amine version was great. HAHAHA! Loved Sailor Moon Amy and I loved the dance from Bender, Fry and Zoidbreg.

Well you can't expect everyone to read through all 6 pages... Especially with the length of some posts. I would never expect anyone to read through every detail of every post (at least the longer ones), but I would expect posters to get the gist of every post even in the longest threads (~20 pages). I might be the crazy one though, I don't know, but I would never post in a thread without reading the entire discussion first. (the "I might be the crazy one" is not sarcasm, it's honest - I don't know the general opinion)

They don't know what a clip show is. They forgot Simpsons' famous clip show episodes.

Fry rejected Leela in favor of physics
I think it was more a Fry being to thick to get what Leela was implying moment.

He says "No means no" meaning he knew what she meant.
Yeah, you're right -- I must have missed that.

I'm about as critical of season 6 as they make 'em, but that episode was fantastic, 10/10. It was goofy, hilarous and enjoyable, what more could you want from a Futurama episode. Kind of funny that there is no consensus whatsoever on which animation was the best.
To me the retro game one was the best. Granted, the story in that one didn't make good use of that particular animation stylen(then again, they did that before, so they didn't really have much of a choice). I really don't know why I loved that one so much, I think I was just striken with nostalgia. I've never played those old timey video games, but the original gameboys were just the same... my favourite scene was probably the sadness meter and Super Mario handing out beers with Roberto in the background.
The first one had the best plot and felt really authentic. At the same time, it seemed a little too cute for me, but it was great nonetheless. Not really much more I could say about that.
The third one was awesome, but the anime cartoons it made fun of aren't the ones I grew up with. I got the Sailor Moon reference, but that's it. I suppose this anime was about the first generation of Japanese anime when I grew up with the second or even third one (Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Kickers... that kind of thing). The only thing that I thought was a bit lame was the banana-design of the alien spaceships. That seemed just random and childish.

hjs has very high standards, and they're quite unpredictable to say the least, although having said that even I was little surprised by that statement. I still think this is a fantastic episode and it's kept me hungry for the new season, unlike last years conclusion to 6A which did nothing of the sort...

Remember when all those morons in the comments on the Futurama Stream site thought the episode was a clip show? Well I've seen some places on the internet, pre-2011, where people have said that Reincarnation was just going to be Rebirth but in three different styles. Maybe that's why they were confused? Even if it was, still worth watching.

I feel like I'm the only one who liked the fleischer style one the best. Don't get me wrong, the other two were really good, and always had a little something for us to find in there. But the Fleischer style was by far the most entertaining one for me.

Actually, I adored the Fleischer style best, but didn't care for the other two so much. I thought the first was the best, in that it was the one that felt the closest to its source material, but successfully managed to combine it with a goofy sci-fi Futurama story. It also had the best art style out of the three segments too. It was silly and cute. It had so much sassafras.
The second segment was far and away my most disliked. It didn't really feel like a story in a videogame, but a rejected plotline for a Tales of Interest. After the first few minutes, they kind of forgot that it was set in a videogame, and just told a normalish futurama episode that so happened to take place in videogame graphics. It felt a bit lazy. And this part is just nitpicking but what the hell. I was also hoping to see Amy dressed as a classic videogame character such as Princess Peach/Zelda or maybe a really obscure one such as Alis Landale, since she was an iconic character in the other two segments (Betty Boop and Sailor Moon). That's just me being petty though.
The anime one I liked, but it didn't feel like a parody of anime... more like a parody written by and for people who have never really watched any anime in their life, aside from seeing adverts for Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon. It didn't help that the art style was rather hideous, bringing back nightmares found lurking in the deepest, darkest depths of Deviantart.
That being said, I adored the first segment, and enjoyed the other two. If the last two segments were as good as the first one, this would have been the best episode ever, for me at least.
