Ah. Then you'll wanna go to 4Kids Entertainment. Another travesty 4Kids is producing: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie.  |

Oh, you forgot parody/straight comedy as a genre, Oniisan!
"Miami Guns" is absolutely hilarious. ;D

They showed a bit of Abenobashi at Otakon this year... but I missed it. *sigh*

Abenobashi In A Nutshell:
Two kids find out that their local shopping center is about to be torn down, then magically find themselves in an alternate dimension of it. Each alternate dimension parrodies a certain aspect or genre of otaku culture. The kids must find the magic words to get back to their world, but each time they perform the ritual, something goes wrong, and they end up in another reality (that is often wierder than the previous one).
Be on the look out for running gags about breasts. (CLUE: "Mune-Mune")

Sort of like Excel then? And it's out on ADV here, hmmm. Might be something to look into.

Get Miami Guns while you're at it too. It's a parody of cop shows/spaghetti westerns/anime/wrestling/everything. In the first four episodes, we have references to Charlie's Angels, Eva, Wacky Racers, Mach Go Go Go/Speed Racer, Inital D, the famous seizure-inducing Pokemon episode, and more.

There's another genre you forgot, Alex: Fighting/Romantic Comedy.
How DARE you forget the glory that is Ranma 1/2!
J.T. Magnus -- owner of, at present, the first season boxed set of the anime and first five volumes of the manga, planning to get more.

I think he just sorta grouped Ranma 1/2 under the "romantic comedy" category, since that's pretty much what it is. Yes, there's martial arts in there, however, it all ties in with the comedic element.

Damned if I know what category this falls into, bu "Super Milk Chan." WTF?!  I mean I love stuff like Excel Saga, The Venture Bros., and Sealab 2021, so I'm no stranger to random zanyness, but please! The show is just stupid! |

Never have seen it. However, I've heard that "WTF?!" is the most common review, reaction, and opinion on the show. Perhaps I should check it out, just to see what all the fuss is about.

Yes, WTF?! sums it up nicely.
