<br />
== Story ==<br />
In 3 mini-stories, Futurama is re-envisioned in 3 alternative animation styles<ref>[http://www.gotfuturama.com/Information/EpisodeGuide/6ACV/ Can't get enough Futurama: Episode Guide: 6 ACV]</ref> - traditional {{w|Fleisher Studios|Fleisher}} style, {{w|anime}} and {{w|video game}} style.<br />
<br />
== Production ==<br />
<br />
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'',<ref name="ugo-dxc-interview-lastepisode">{{cite web |url=http://www.ugo.com/tv/futurama-david-x-cohen-interview |title=Exclusive: Futurama Creator Spills on Special Last, Last Episode! |publisher=UGO |author=Zalben, Alex |date=2010-06-22 |accessdate=2010-06-22 |quote=Now I will say at this point, having written the last episode for FOX, and the last DVD for the DVD releases, and now being back again, and being pretty far along in production, we’re the show with the most experience in writing our last episode ever. We’re getting good at it – we’re doing our third one that we’re actually working on here at the moment – they’ve all been written by Ken Keeler, I should mention, who is writing his third last episode ever. |quote author={{n|Cohen|David|X.}}}}</ref> and once again, they have put [[Ken Keeler]] in charge of writing the episode,<ref name="ugo-dxc-interview-lastepisode"/> as with "[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]" and "''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]''".<br />
<br />
The episode was originally titled "Ressurection", but it was changed to the current title in the process.<ref name="if-dxc-interview">{{cite web |url=http://ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=3955 |title=Exclusive Interview: 'Futurama' Co-Creator David X. Cohen Blows out the 100th Episode Candle and Talks about the Season Six Finale |publisher=iF Magazine |author=Cortez, Carl |date=2010-09-01 |accessdate=2010-09-01}}</ref><br />
<br />
The episode is a three-parter and presumably non-[[canon]], as with the [[Anthology of Interest]] episodes and "[[The Futurama Holiday Spectacular]]".<ref name="ugo-dxc-interview-animationstyles">{{cite web |url=http://www.ugo.com/tv/futurama-david-x-cohen-interview?page=3 |title=Exclusive: Futurama Creator Spills on Special Last, Last Episode! |publisher=UGO |author=Zalben, Alex |date=2010-06-22 |accessdate=2010-06-22 |quote=So that’s one three-parter, and the other will be a really mind-blowing one, which will either be the very last, or second to last episode we broadcast – probably the very last. It’ll be most likely presented as a special that’s kind of outside the timeline of the series, again being an abstract episode like the 'Anthologies of Interest,' where we will see the ''Futurama'' characters in three different animation styles. ''Futurama'' itself will be reincarnated in three different styles. |quote author={{n|Cohen|David|X.}}}}</ref> The episode is divided into three different classic animation styles, in which the series will be "re-incarnated" in each: a black-and-white {{w|Fleisher Studios|Fleisher}} style, a low resolution video game style, and an {{w|anime}} action style.<ref name=Yahoo!>[http://tv.yahoo.com/news/article/ustv.associatedcontent.com/ustv.associatedcontent.com-futurama-producer-david-x-cohen-talks-holiday-special 'Futurama' Producer David X. Cohen Talks Holiday Special]</ref><br />
<br />
The episode was early on planned to be production episode 25 of season 6 (6ACV25), the second-to-last<ref name="ugo-dxc-interview-animationstyles"/>, but was in November 2010 changed to be the 26th episode - the season finale.<ref name=Yahoo!/><br />
<br />
The ''[[Countdown to Futurama]]'' released five items from the episode: concept art of [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] in {{w|Fleisher}} style was released on 10 June, 2011; concept art of [[Nibbler]] in Fleisher style on 11 June; concept art of [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] in {{w|anime}} style on 12 June; [[storyboard:Reincarnation|storyboard]] of a battle between [[Zagtar|a robot]] and [[Evil Wizard|a wizard]] from the anime style on 13 June; concept art of [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] and Bender in anime style on 14 June.<br />
<br />
[[David X. Cohen]] announced in a June, 2011 interview that "Reincarnation" was one of his favourite episodes of the broadcast season. He also said that they had licensed actual existing music to fit the different sequences - jazz for the Fleisher one, actual anime scores for the anime one, and video game music for the video game one - and that the anime sequence will be screened on the 2011 {{w|Comic-Con}}.<ref name="Cohen">{{cite web |url=http://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/cohen-spills-the-beans-on-futuramas-new-season/ |title=Cohen Spills the Beans on Futurama's New Season |work= |author=Cohen, David X.|date=16 June, 2011|accessdate=2011-6-16|speaker={{n|Cohen|David X.}} |quote='I also have to mention our season finale this year, which is scheduled for the beginning of September. It’s called “Reincarnation” and asks the question what if our show was reincarnated in different animation styles. So the first one is a classic black-and-white cartoon, then we have Futurama as an early ’90s video-game pixilation animation, and the third section is done in Japanese anime style. We will screen the anime portion at Comic-Con this year. Our supervising director, Peter Avanznio, did an amazing job of redesigning our whole world in three distinctive styles for just one episode. We even used jazz for the black-and-white section, licensed actual videogame music and anime scores for the episode.}}</ref><br />

'''Earth''' is a life-supporting planet in [[the Sol System]], and home [[List of planets|planet]] of [[humans]], many animals and plants as well as [[robot]]s. In spite of being conquered several times by various aliens, by the [[31st century]], humans are again the dominant life form on the planet. [[Earth government|Earth's government]] is a planet-wide democracy that is clearly modeled after (if not directly descended from) [[United States of America|America]]'s government of today. Even the flag, [[Old Freebie]], is similar to the American flag.<br />
<br />
The government is largely run by clones, though in [[3000]], [[Earthicans]] elected [[Richard Nixon's head]] [[President of Earth]]. Although frequently [[Invasions of Earth|invaded]] by [[Alien]] forces, Earth seems to be a military power to be reckoned with. In terms of wealth, [[Mom]] is the richest person on the planet, [[Zapp Brannigan]] is responsible for protecting the world from various alien invasions as well as expanding Earth's empire.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
[[File:Earth Flag.svg|left|200px|thumb|[[Old Freebie]]: The Earth flag.]]<br />
The Earth, along with Sun and The Moon, was created ca. [[Early history|4.5 billion years ago]]. 500 million years ago first lifeforms crawled onto land, and 65.5 million years ago The [[Brain Spawn]] caused the extinction of dinosaurs ([[6ACV07]]). Finally, the [[Human]] race evolved.<br />
<br />
Between the [[21st century|21st]] and [[31st century|31st]] centuries most of Earth's cities were destroyed multiple times. One of the most notable destructions was the [[First Destruction of New York City]] started by [[Bender]]. That destruction even caused a the new Middle Ages. However, by 31st century, the cities have been rebuilt and planet's technology level is extermly high. The planet had been united in a process mostly led by [[United States of America]]. Dozens, if not hundreds of other planets and minor planets (including [[Mars]], [[Neptune]] and [[Pluto]]) have been colonized. During to that, human population by the year [[3000]] is not known.<br />
<br />
In [[3004]], Earth was moved further from the Sun causing a normal years to become 372 days long. Later in [[3007]], the planet was stolen by the [[Alien Scammers]], who renamed it ''New Scammadonia''. A few days later, however, a fleet comprised of displaced Earthicans and other victims of the Scammers managed to reclaim Earth. The planet briefly stopped rotating in August of [[3010]], as a result of the [[Thubanian]] [[Thubanian Invasion of Earth|invasion]]. [[Amy Wong]] managed to fix the problem by "bringing back" the planet's rotational energy from [[Thuban 9]].<br />

One of the most important places in the entire universe, by the 31st century, Earth is a huge glowing utopia (sort of) the planet is at the height of existence, major technological advancements have been achieved by humanity, the wheel is obsolete and [[Hovercar|hovercars]] are prominent, sentient [[robots]] possibly have a higher population than humans themselves and space travel has excelled significantly, journeys to other galaxies take but a few hours because spaceships can move billions of times the traditional speed of light. Many people who lived in the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century|21st]] are preserved in [[Head Jars|jars]] albeit only their heads, this technology was invented by [[Ron Popeil]]. Almost everything electrical is a robot with feelings, from intergalactic spaceships to toasters.<br />

Many [[List of alien species|species of aliens]] have migrated to Earth and live in peace with the life forms already on Earth, the [[Decapodians]] specifically came to Earth in the [[23rd century]].
