History AffectionateParody / AnimeAndManga

* Chapter 74 of ''Manga/KaguyaSamaWaKokurasetai'' is one to ShoujoDemographic romance stories. Kaguya goes from a calculating person to a typical shoujo heroine, she's in a LoveTriangle with Shirogane and Ishigami (of all people) and has to choose between them to go to the aquarium, and BishieSparkle is rampant. And it's all because they starting reading ''[[{{Glurge}} Today Will Be Sweet]]'' together. Extra points go to Aka for [[PaintingTheMedium trying to imitate the large advertisement space of shoujo magazines during the chapter]].

* ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' is an affectionate parody of the Franchise/NasuVerse, as it depicts characters from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' and ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' in bizarre amd goofy situations, such as the Holy Grail War being reduced to a Game Show, or playing a beach volleyball match (with ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' mechanics no less), where [[SlapstickKnowsNoGender poor Ciel was severely injured and abused]] (Mostly by [[FriendlyEnemy Arcueid]]). Aside of all this absurdity, they all look pretty happy (Even the local ChewToy Lancer) and living normal lives, very uncommon in the source material.

* ''Manga/UchiNoMusumeNiTeODasuNa'' is a parody of the superhero genre, with its two lead heroines ([[http://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/1630422 Athena and her daughter, Clara]]) being parodies of ''ComicBook/PowerGirl'' and ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'' respectively. Athena, while more commonly referred to as "the First Generation Eighth"[[note]]since she was the original from 20 years ago, while Clara is referred to as "the Next Generation Eighth"[[/note]] is also known as: [[LustObject "the MILF]] [[InSeriesNickname of Steel".]]

* ''Anime/TheBigO'' is a parody of a number of manga/comics/anime subsets... Batman, Mazinger Z, Astro Boy, Cutie Honey, Lupin III, and the 80's anime OVA "A Wind Called Amnesia"... not to mention Phillip Marlow/Sam Spade detectives.

* Being a very popular show, ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' has been parodied in lots of anime and manga. The [[SuperMode Super Saiyan Transformation]] and [[KamehameHadoken Kamahame-Ha]], the show's most recognizable trademarks, are always used. It even shows up in the shojo demographic: [[ShugoChara FU-GI-SA-KI-HAAAA!]]

* ''SuperRobotRetsuden'', a ''Anime/MazingerZ'' / ''Anime/GreatMazinger'' / ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' / ''Manga/GetterRobo'' / ''Anime/KotetsuJeeg'' {{Crossover}} with story and art by Creator/KenIshikawa, parodies the seventies Creator/ToeiAnimation {{Crossover}} movies that featured several Creator/GoNagai robots.

* ''Franchise/LupinIII'': Of Literature/ArseneLupin, obviously. The characters are often used to parody other stories, such as ''Film/MissionImpossible'', ''Film/ThePinkPanther'', and even Franchise/{{Superman}}.

* ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'' is probably the [[WidgetSeries weirdest]] infatuated parody of the CthulhuMythos ever made. It also makes fun of many trappings of the {{otaku}} lifestyle, as well as the HaremGenre.

* With ''Anime/ShinkonGattaiGodannar's'' hot-blooded retro theme song, ridiculous ''{{Voltron}}''-esque MultinationalTeam, [[CallingYourAttacks attack-yelling]] and absurd robot design, it's highly unlikely the creators were being serious here.

* ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'' is an affectionate parody of the Franchise/NasuVerse, as it depicts characters from ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' and ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' in bizarre situations, such as the Holy Grail War being reduced to a Game Show, or playing a beach volleyball match (with ''VideoGame/MeltyBlood'' mechanics no less), where poor Ciel was severely injured and abused (Mostly by [[FriendlyEnemy Arcueid]]). Aside of all this absurdity, they all look pretty happy (Even the local ChewToy Lancer) and living normal lives, very uncommon in the source material.

* NinjaSlayer is pretty much a parody of 80's and 90's Anime from how Americans thought of Anime at the time. That is Ultraviolence, LesYay, Ninjas, Cyberpunk and LimitedAnimation.

* ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' is a great parody of MagicalGirl shows and the original VisualNovel ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', featuring Illya as a MagicalGirl. She is incredibly GenreSavvy and points out a lot of the silly things happening around her. However it all soon changes tone to have more serious moments as well.

* ''Manga/GekkanShoujoNozakiKun'' makes affectionate fun of Shoujo manga.

* Shounen series ''Manga/GekkanShoujoNozakiKun'' is a light-hearted parody of shoujo manga and its making.

* ''LightNovel/KanojoGaFlagOOraretara'' is a gentle parody of the HaremGenre, by infusing it with RapidFireComedy and packing in pretty much every CharacterArchetype LoveInterest ever invented for it, then turning said characters UpToEleven.

* Likewise, ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' has fun with parodying a lot of {{cliche}}s associated with romance and high school comedies, even though the series itself falls under ''both'' banners (and the manga artist herself had written things like it in the past until ''Ouran'' became her breakout hit).

* Despite [[Franchise/SailorMoon its successor]] becoming one of the most influential and popular [[Anime/SailorMoon anime]] franchises in history, the original ''Manga/CodenameSailorV'' manga reads like a lighthearted parody of the MagicalGirl and HenshinHero genres. While ''Sailor Moon'' could be pretty jokey at times, it doesn't come close to matching the sheer absurdity of ''Sailor V''.

* ''Anime/TheBigO'' is a parody of a number of manga/comics/anime subsets...Batman, Mazinga Z, Astro Boy, Cutie Honey, Lupin III, and the 80's anime OVA "A Wind Called Amnesia"...not to mention Phillip Marlow/Sam Spade detectives.

* ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' parodies [[MoeAnthropomorphism world]] [[RefugeInAudacity history]]. With extra HoYay!
* ''SchoolRumble'' replaces the intense drama of high school romance anime with over the top and often illogical humor.

* ''Anime/BenTo'' is one for the average shounen FightingSeries, taking SeriousBusiness to extreme levels (half-priced lunch boxes), parodying the nom-du-guerres of each character, etc.

* Episode 10 of Manga/SetoNoHanayome, which introduces Lunar's dad, is a parody of ''Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay''. Lunar's dad himself is a parody/ShoutOut to [[Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger Ah-nuld.]]

* ''SumomomoMomomo'', the manga slightly more so than the anime, is an affectionate parody of both martial arts anime and UnwantedHarem romantic comedies.

* ''Big O'' is a parody of a number of manga/comics/anime subsets...Batman, Mazinga Z, Astro Boy, Cutie Honey, Lupin III, and the 80's anime OVA "A Wind Called Amnesia"...not to mention Phillip Marlow/Sam Spade detectives.

* ''{{Slayers}}'' is a good-natured send-up of HeroicFantasy novels, games, and anime.

* ''SpecialDutyCombatUnitShinesman'' is an AffectionateParody of the {{Sentai}} genre.

* The ShowWithinAShow of ''MartianSuccessorNadesico'', ''Anime/{{Gekiganger 3}}'', is a homage to and parody of classic SuperRobot anime such as ''Manga/GetterRobo'', and ''also'' serves as an ironic counterpoint to the main show's plot! Impressive.
** ''MartianSuccessorNadesico'' itself is a friendly send-up of the RealRobot (and UnwantedHarem, although it plays that end mostly straight) genres, though not without its moments of seriousness and genuine [[AnAesop Aesops]].

* ''ProjectAKo'' was a sendup of just about everything in anime between 1976 and 1986.

* ''SuperRobotRetsuden'', a ''Anime/MazingerZ'' / ''Anime/GreatMazinger'' / ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer'' / ''Manga/GetterRobo'' / ''Anime/KotetsuJeeg'' {{Crossover}} with story and art by KenIshikawa, parodies the seventies {{Toei}} {{Crossover}} movies that featured several Creator/GoNagai robots.
