Reincarnation

"Reincarnation", is the one hundredth and fourteenth episode of Futurama, the twenty-sixth and last of the sixth production season and the thirteenth and last of the eighth broadcast season. It was for some time thought to be the 'series finale', but the announcement, albeit unofficial, of the seventh production season proved otherwise.

Story
In 3 mini-stories, Futurama is re-envisioned in 3 alternative animation styles.

Production
Much like "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" and Into the Wild Green Yonder, this episode is written 'as if' it was the last episode ever of Futurama, and once again, they have put Ken Keeler in charge of writing the episode, as with "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" and "Into the Wild Green Yonder".

The episode was originally titled "Ressurection", but it was changed to the current title in the process.

The episode is a three-parter and presumably non-canon, as with the Anthology of Interest episodes and "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular". The episode is divided into three different classic animation styles, in which the series will be "re-incarnated" in each: a black-and-white style, a low resolution video game style, and an  action style.

The episode was early on planned to be "6ACV25", the second-to-last, but is as of November 2010 planned to air as the season finale.
