    Britney Spears Is Our Future Champion

    This anime superheroine isn't the latest Japanese import, it's Britney Spears, restyled into an assassin/spy/freedom fighter from a future dystopia for her next music video, "Break The Ice."

Click through for more images of animated Britney and the dark cityscape she protects.
