This is very amusing...

The gentleman who drew this picture is very talented, and also has no life (of course, his chosen nom du guerre of "Mighty Otaking" pretty much proves that is his GOAL). But that particular picture's CAPTION literally knocked me to the floor laughing.

I'd LOVE to see the fully animated version of his vision of The Doctor, though. And his Davros kicks serious ass.

Now I'm imagining an epic battle between Kenshiro and the Doctor...somebody please fetch me the brain bleach.

I really like his anime Lethbridge-Stewart. TFS!

I've got a worse idea. Fist of the North Star with Time Lords.

The text in the gallery refers to in-progress animations, but the only ones I can find are this (click "Download" for a WMV) and this (zipped AVI) -- the gallery image is a filmstrip but most of them link to JPG stills, like this civilian zapped by a Dalek. Maybe MightyOtaking doesn't keep them at DeviantArt. His ultra-shiny style might work for a webcomic, but it's surely hobbling the animation workflow. (And since I'm presently reading the 2008 compilations of Hellboy, I now have great respect for shadows.)

The shiny/multitone works for Daleks and Cybermen and Sutekh but not for skin tones. Hooray for Ainley's bearded Master! (New-Who's beardless blond PM, blecch.) Though his face seems to have arrived from Yu-Gi-Oh. A style which makes DocThree look rather less jolly than Pertwee's portrayal.

The Dalek flagship is extremely overdesigned, IMHO, even for anime. The TV Daleks seemed content with utilitarian saucers (even in New-Who when CG eliminated the constraints of physical models) and even in "Remembrance of the Daleks" the Imperial ships were simple boxes. (But in 30 years, Who had very few distinctive spacecraft, and the 1983 Technical Manual skipped most of them, except for the three-legged spherical Jagaroth ship from Douglas Adams's "City of Death.")

Search YouTube for "doctor who anime" and you'll also get a variety of AMVs setting anime clips to Who dialogue, or Who clips to anime music. Some of them are downright incompetent.

Here's an October 2006 teaser from a company called Westlake Films allegedly working on an animated series -- official site. Digital cel animation of "The Mutant Phase" featuring DocFive and Nyssa -- very lumpy faces, but at least the lips move. More of the same story, but with rudimentary clay animation. Ten minutes of very bad cut-out animation. various techniques used in pilot project to replace the lost video of "The Tenth Planet." This trailer is puzzling. There are several in South Park-wannabe style, including Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol -- only a series of stills, but better than this test featuring DocThree, this title sequence, and especially this.

A cursory search finds not much on Brickfilms, core of the LEGO stop-motion community, except for Buxton's 2003 "The Celestial Toyshop."
