Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade: Imagine if, instead of an ordinary Tokyo district, the Abenobashi district decided to transform itself into a fantasy world from a surreal blend of various anime, complete with beautiful princesses and hot and happening heroes in some episodes and one minute back in a parallel of South Korea or that of its older days in another. With such kaleidoscopic offerings at every turn, how could anyone not be hooked onto this offbeat gem?
Lucky Star: At first glance, this show presents itself as your run-of-the-mill slice-of-life melodrama. We see Lucky Channel’s "Japanese version of American Idol-esque mascot" Akane and Lucky channel’s mascot girl mascot Akane Tsunetsugi, but only to immediately flip onto a surreal observation of mundane school life along with Shiraishi’s personal and daily struggles. So think anime: but with a catch: the usually serious characters make fun of the typical high school scenarios.
Kill Me Baby: Imagine a situation where we’re led onto a stage which delves you through all these action scenes (perhaps more spectacular would be right word) but all involving characters’ ordinary daily rituals. How on earth could anyone make an action anime out of absolutely un-action instances? But Kill Me Baby manages to just achieve all that perfectly. This mayhem sets side-splitting standards as a perfect parody of action-shonen anime.
Ouran High School Host Club: Let’s take a chance to imagine aristocracy isn’t always noble-hearted? When we typically conceptualize male "hosts," perhaps a bit innocently, we suppose the sweet Prince Charming figures you might relish being hosted by. No chance that you will imagine you are being hit up by a rich spoiled High School kid attempting to host you, acting as perfect satires in this case yet handling emotion of any client and bringing them to normal with rich laughs.
Pani Poni Dash!: Not everything’s hunky dory in an "anime parody world." Hilarity ensues, for example, with self-aware middle aged delusional otakus believing they could turn pro, and create world-peace overnight by joining NASA โ then creating space anime by their selves eventually beating Japanese companies out of their anime-based country.
