"Reincarnation",[1][2] 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[3], of the seventh production season proved otherwise.
Story
In 3 mini-stories, Futurama is re-envisioned in 3 alternative animation styles.[4]
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,[5] and once again, they have put Ken Keeler in charge of writing the episode,[5] 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.[6]
The episode is a three-parter and presumably non-canon, as with the Anthology of Interest episodes and "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular".[7] The episode is divided into three different classic animation styles, in which the series will be "re-incarnated" in each: a black-and-white Fleisher style, a low resolution video game style, and an anime action style.[8]
The episode was early on planned to be "6ACV25", the second-to-last[7], but is as of November 2010 planned to air as the season finale.[8]
The Countdown to Futurama released two items from the episode: concept art of Benderin Fleisher style was released on 10 June, 2011; concept art of Nibbler character in Fleisher style on 8 June.
Promotional material
Reused concept art of Bender from The Beast with a Billion Backs.
Concept art of Nibbler in Fleisher style.

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." — Cohen, David

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." — Cohen, David
