King of the Hill Creator Confirms Whether The Show is an Anime

by

For quite some time now, there’s been a lingering query about Arlen, Texas and its avid fans, particularly those who adore the Hill family. Known as “King of the Hill,” this animated sitcom first aired on Fox and has left an indelible mark in the realm of Western animation, garnering significant success. With Hulu planning to revive the series for a fourteenth season in the upcoming month, the creators of the Hill family made an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con to sustain the excitement. In a recent interview, co-creator Mike Judge has finally addressed a question that fans have long pondered about the cherished animated program.

During an interview with IGN, Judge was asked if King of the Hill could be considered anime due to fans’ claims online for a while now. He replied, “I saw something about that on Twitter,” and added, “People say it’s an anime, and I can’t recall… Well, why not? I don’t see any problems with it, and I enjoy many animes.” Although Judge didn’t mention specific anime shows he has watched before, this statement effectively settles the amusing debate about whether the Hill family would feel at home among series like Dragon Ball, One Piece, and others.

How is Arlen’s Return?

This week on egmr.ru, we shared our review of the King of the Hill revival, awarding it a “4 out of 5.” We consider this Hulu series one of the top television comebacks, as expressed in our critique: “King of the Hill fearlessly embraces change and adapts to fit contemporary times without compromising its essence. The voice cast has undergone modifications, and fresh characters have been introduced to enhance Arlen’s world positively. However, it never feels like alterations are made merely for the sake of change. Instead, each adjustment aligns with the beloved character traits from yesteryears while offering exciting new narratives. Simply put, King of the Hill is back and better than ever!

The popular series “King of the Hill” is set to debut on Hulu on August 4th, releasing all ten episodes of its fourteenth season simultaneously. At this point, Hulu hasn’t officially announced if a fifteenth season will be produced, but voice actors have hinted that the return of the Hill family might be just the beginning. With the third season of Beavis and Butt-Head’s revival scheduled for Comedy Central later this year, it seems creator Mike Judge is keeping quite busy in various projects.
