''Arcade Gamer Fubuki'' is a manga series created by Mine Yoshizaki (who went on to create ''Manga/SgtFrog'' and ''Anime/KemonoFriends''), which was serialized from 1998 to 2002. It was later adapted into a four-episode {{OVA}} series, which was released from 2002 to 2003 and eventually saw a U.S. DVD release in 2005. It's a sort of fan-sequel to an older manga and anime called ''Game Center Arashi'', which had a similar premise but focused on a bucktoothed boy -- who makes a ContinuityCameo appearance in the series.

* PacManFever: ZigZaggingTrope. The show uses real footage of actual games and believable techniques half the time. The other half, we have upside down girls shooting electricity while flashing their panties atop clashing tornadoes of water.
* PantyShot: Practically the entire premise of the show!

** In episode 3 there appears to be an {{Expy}} of a reskinned Kululu who's participating in the match. However, considering the [[TotemPoleTrench suspiciously long trenchcoat and abnormally long limbs, it is quite obviously just those 5 frogs in a trenchcoat]].

...so it's basically an anime adaption of ''Film/TheWizard'', except with the cast replaced with cute girls, the Power Glove replaced with the Black Passion Panties, and Creator/{{Nintendo}} replaced with {{Sega}}.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Okay, not quite as bad, but one has to wonder how the translators managed to translate Glass Joe (said ''[[GratuitousEnglish completely in English]]'' and a ''{{PunchOut}}'' reference to boot) as Joe Dallas. One common explanation for it is because [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/buried-treasure/2009-04-09/buried-garbage-arcade-gamer-fubuki the subtitler loathed it]] and thus [[CreatorsApathy didn't care]].
* ButtonMashing: [[ZigZaggingTrope Both averted and not]]. Fubuki seems to be just randomly hitting buttons and winning when using her magic panties, but other times games are played believably or at least the punching of the joysticks by a boxer named after a '{{PunchOut}}'' character is explained.

The story revolves around a young girl named Fubuki who is entered in the Best Of Arcade Gamer video game tournament. She seems incompetent; but she has a secret weapon in the form of the Passion Panties, a magical pair of panties that give her the ability to play video games really well while upside down and shooting electricity out of her hands. But there's an evil organization of muscle men dressed as Galaxians, led by a woman dressed as a Galaxian flagship; they come from some kind of parallel dimension and are commanded by a mysterious [[HeyItsThatVoice but familiar voice]]. Fubuki also has to deal with other competitors, including her rival, who wields a pair of '''black''' Passion Panties and ''doesn't'' suck at video games without them!

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: There's a conveniently unnamed guy in a karate uniform who works at a rather SEGA-esque company and beats people up for not respecting the game, is [[HeyItsThatVoice voiced by]] Creator/HiroshiFujioka, says "Play until your fingers break!", and stops a missile with his bare hands.

** From ''KeroroGunso'', Keroro plushies can be seen in a crane game in the first episode of the anime. In the manga, there's both a Keroro plushy and even Natsumi herself.
** Meanwhile, the cast of ''Fubuki'' regularly appears in the background of ''Keroro'' manga and less frequently in the anime. Later, there's an entire crossover chapter of the manga featuring Fubuki facing Keroro at an arcade game.
** From ''Anime/SevenOfSeven'', there's Melody Honey. She appears here as the Lord of Rhythm Games and would later become a recurring character in ''Keroro'' in both the manga and anime, even sharing the same voice as the one used here, and showing up in the theatrical movies!
