Better call the ambulance, when you see this absolutely crazy take on the Breaking Bad prequel.

Artificial Intelligence just can't stop helping fans to imagine the most bizarre things you can only think of.

This time Saul Goodman becomes a victim, as a YouTube user shared their AI-generated arts that imagine the show as if it was an anime.

It's been less than a year since Better Call Saul ended, but it seems like fans are already looking for the most surprising reboot opportunities.

No matter how foolish it seems, the AI-generated anime representation of Better Call Saul actually looks interesting and appealing.

The video features all the well recognizable characters from the show: Jimmy himself, Kim, Mike, Tuco, Nacho, Gus Fring, Hector, Lalo, and others.

Lalo Salamanca looks especially authentic. He could easily be part of some kind of "top 10 most charismatic anime villains."

One of the greatest strengths of Better Call Saul lies in its well-rounded characters and their complex arcs. An anime adaptation would have the opportunity to delve even deeper into the psyche of each character.

For example, the transition from Jimmy McGill to Saul Goodman would be showcased with an increased emphasis on emotional turmoil and internal struggles.

Anime's penchant for introspective moments would allow viewers to witness the gradual erosion of Jimmy's morality and the inner conflict that drives his transformation.

Better Call Saul as an anime could amplify the show's intense moments to new heights.

Car chases, confrontations, and high-stakes courtroom battles could be portrayed with dynamic animation, employing exaggerated movements, vibrant visual effects, and strategic use of camera angles.

All of these are features that anime is known for.

While a hypothetical anime adaptation of Better Call Saul may be a pipe dream, imagining the possibilities is an exciting exercise for fans of both the show and anime.

The distinct art style, character development, intense action sequences, and evocative musical score could breathe new life into the compelling world created by Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould.

Someone should definitely show this to Vince Gilligan. Who knows, maybe he will find the idea interesting enough to give it the green light.
