Ia, ia C'thulhu ftagn *couigh* Sorry. Shoggoth in my throat.

Anyway, what anime and cartoons do you know of that have been influenced my H.P. Lovecraft? In his lifetime like Van Gough the man was dismissed and got poor reviews on his stories. Today they seem to be everywhere. So what animes and cartoons have you seen that were influenced by the work of Lovecraft?

I do, but I hadn't looked at this thread. I'll have to think of a few you haven't mentioned. I don't have any off the top of my head other than Gravity Falls, Rick and Morty, and I'm pretty sure South Park had at least one HP Lovecraft episode if not more. If we're looking at influence only, I would argue that Ahhh Real Monsters and Invader Zim are also similiar, although neither actually have Cthulhu in them IIRC.

There are a lot. In Murcielago they have a whole theme park based on Lovecraft's characters.

In the Monster Girl Encyclopedia Shoggoths got a mention
