* ''[[One Piece]]'' is a fairly standard [[Shonen]] anime with a focus on humor that occasionally leans toward parody. The most obvious, though, is cowardly hero Usopp's disguise of "Sogeking", a clear parody of live-action tokusatsu series'. He even has a theme song, complete with 60's style Japanese Live-action special effects and the appearance of being largely filmed inside a [[BBC Quarry|quarry]].

* ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' is arguably as much an Affectionate Parody as it is a [[Reconstruction]] of the super robot genre; the heroes are able to win, for example, on [[Determinator|pure determination]] alone, literally (and I do mean ''literally'' as the series explains halfway through the series) and it's otherwise just [[Serial Escalation|so over the top]] and [[Beyond the Impossible|outright impossible]] as to be awesome even when it's not trying.

* With ''[[Shinkon Gattai Godannar]]'s'' hot-blooded retro theme song, ridiculous ''[[Voltron]]''-esque [[Multinational Team]], [[Calling Your Attacks|attack-yelling]] and absurd robot design, it's highly unlikely the creators were being serious here.

* ''[[Sumomomo Momomo]]'', the manga slightly more so than the anime, is an affectionate parody of both martial arts anime and [[Unwanted Harem]] romantic comedies.

* Being a very popular show, ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z'' has been parodied in lots of anime and manga. The [[Super Mode|Super Saiyan Transformation]] and [[Kamehame Hadoken|Kamahame-Ha]], the show's most recognizable trademarks, are always used. It even shows up in the shojo genre: [[Shugo Chara|FU-GI-SA-KI-HAAAA!]]
