* ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'' features as a main character [https://web.archive.org/web/20141125133048/http://www.total-manga.com/images/Artwork/FR-11-39040-B/highschool-of-the-dead-kohta-hirano.jpg Hirano Kohta]. No, not [[Hellsing|that one]].
* [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|Jean-Luc Pikachu]] from the ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga series, complete with a [http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/2425/jeanlucpikachu.jpg Starfleet communicator]! Also, [[Felix the Cat]]erpie.
** The show also has loads of these. When discussing movies they watched when they were younger, May brings up one that's clearly ''[[Titanic]]'' {{smallcapssmall-caps| [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE!]]}}.
*** In that same episode, the movie Max saw is a shout out to [[Ultraman]], and the movie being shown in that episode is similar to the basic story of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''. The one Ash saw as a little kid is a surprise nod to the ''[http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/manga/pocket_monsters.html Pocket Monsters]'' manga!
** Furthermore, not only is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Slaking_Kong this] episode named after it, but the climax [[Incredibly Lame Pun|apes]] ''[[King Kong]]'', right down to Swellow knocking it off a spire.
** In DP we see two characters who look a lot like [[Cardcaptor Sakura|Sakura and Tomoyo]]. [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/7c/Sakura_and_Tomoyo_DP077.jpg The animator must of been a fan]{{Dead link}}
*** I'm suprised that no one's done a crossover with either of those two with a character in Pokémon.
*** There already has. Just check [[Fan Fiction]].Net.
Line 50:
** ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'': Onizuka fights a group of punks harassing his students with Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken, the series' signature [[Spam Attack]]. He also draws Ken's seven-point scars on his chest with magic marker and screams about a woman named Yuria, Ken's fiancee.
** Mari, the [[Huge Schoolgirl]] from the original ''[[Project A-ko]]'', is pretty much just Kenshiro in drag.
** In the episode of [[AbenobashiMagical MahouShopping ShoutengaiArcade Abenobashi|Abenobashi]] set in a parallel Hong-Kong-action-movie world, Sasshi undergoes a painful (and funny) training, at the end of which he looks like Ken, complete with scars on the chest. And when Mune-Mune [[Cooldown Hug|hugs him]], his head expands and then he deflates like a balloon, returning back to normal, a G-rated version of the many [[Your Head Asplode|splatterrific]] deaths of the show.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SplSDPwVbzc I just saved] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=iv&src_vid=SplSDPwVbzc&v=RU1zIWaKDFE&annotation_id=annotation_564433 you a lot] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH7tmMVCQRI&feature=related of time].
* There are also quite a few ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]:
Line 68:
** The OVA featured a Yukkuri, of all things.
* A scene in ''[[Popotan]]'' features Mii [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoRXZ4Ynh74 imitating the famous MGM Lion]... and in the process [[Tastes Like Diabetes|giving you diabetes]].
* ''[[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Haré+Guu|Haré+Guu]]'' has an episode which involves cosplay of several different characters, including Lum from ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'' and Ichigo from ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' among others.
* Jan-Puu from ''[[Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl]]'' uses the [[Catch Phrase]] ''[[Honorifics|oneeniisama]]'' from ''[[Maze Megaburst Space]]'' when addressing Hazumu. Both series are from the same creator.
* Episode 12 of ''[[AbenobashiMagical MahouShopping ShoutengaiArcade Abenobashi]]'' is crammed with little (and large) references to a vast number of American movies. Other episodes include shoutouts to ''[[Sister Princess]]'', ''[[Ultraman]]'', ''[[FLCL]]'', and a truly staggering number of references to ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' -- just to name a ''few''.
** Don't forget the reference to the Lumberjack sketch from ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]''.
* ''[[FLCL]]'' itself had an episode with a ridiculous number of references to, among other things, ''[[Lupin III]]'', ''[[Trigun]]'', ''[[The Matrix]]'', ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'', ''[[South Park]]'', ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' (an especially clever one in that particular case, recreating the Spike vs. Vicious standoff in the cathedral substituting Haruko with a pair of scissors for Vicious and his katana), and several earlier [[Studio Gainax]] works.
Line 82:
** Though their colors are reversed: Asuka wears blue, Rei wears red. The latter's last name, Saotome, is itself a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Ranma ½]]'', as the character was a [[Sweet Polly Oliver]].
*** All the more [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] when Daitokuji-sensei announces Rei's attendance in her debut, because he was voiced by [[Kappei Yamaguchi]], the voice for Ranma.
** It also has [[GaoGaiGar|this]] [http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/yugioh/images/5/57/SuperVehicroid-RexUnion-JP-Anime-GX-NC.png card.]{{Dead link}}
** The third season has some serious homages to [[Illusion of Gaia]], including but not limited to: General Freed, who bears a stunning resemblance to Dark Knight Freedan; the Comet in Dark World, which is identical to the promotional art of the Comet of Destruction (both of them have roughly the same effect, too); Juudai as {{spoiler|the Gentle Darkness}} while Will, his game counterpart, is the {{spoiler|"chosen one of Darkness"}}; the character Johan, who closely resembles the character Lilly (and, like Lilly, has odd powers that are more [[Handwaved]] than explained); and you could keep going for quite some time, if you wanted (or just look at the [[Shout-Out]] section on the GX page).
** A one-shot character named Alice appears in the second season who seems to be a walking shout out to ''[[Rozen Maiden]]''.
Line 93:
** Ruby Carbuncle looks a lot like [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Espeon]].
* The anime ''[[Hand Maid Mai]]'' does a shoutout to its predecessor ''[[Hand Maid May]]'' by having the drunken Hideo Ozu stumbling past Kazuya Saotome's place, reverently showing the ladder between apartments that was so much a part of the show. Not so reverently, Hideo then urinates on the landlady's fence.
* Due to its premise as a series about otaku, ''[[Genshiken]]'' contains a stunning number of shout outs and/or parodies. The [[OVA|OVAs]] had the animation team sneaking in a few more, from Sasahara reading the ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' manga, to Madarame thinking of ''[[Densha Otoko]]'' on the train, to Ohno's scads of yaoi doujinshi, which included obvious shout outs to ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', ''[[Prince of Tennis]]'', ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'' and ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Gundam SEED]]''.
* ''[[Ichigo Mashimaro]]''; in the manga, Nobue is a high school freshman of 16, while in the anime, she is 20 and in university. In her opening self-description in the anime, while breaking the [[Fourth Wall]], Nobue says she is just a typical 16 year old high school student, then admits that its a lie, and that she is actually 20 and in university. Ana's dog Frusciante and Matsuri's ferret John are named after John Frusciante of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a band Ana likes.
* In ''[[Persona 4: The Animation]]'', when Yu commanded Chie to sit on his lap he was channelling [[Kuso Miso Technique|a certain memetic manga.]]
Line 101:
** The ''[[Slayers]]'' manga ''Knight of Aqualord'' has Lina crossing a desert on a large flightless bird which very strongly resembles a [[Final Fantasy|Chocobo]].
** [[Sorcerer Hunters|"Call me queen!"]]
*** Maybe, or it might just be a reference to the BDSM phrase that ''Sorcerer Hunters'' was quoting.
** There are several ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' shout outs, including Gourry being given Usagi's hairstyle in the first season's crossdressing episode and a "magic doctor" in the second season who looks like a slightly older Chibi-Usa.
** There's even a ''[[Ranma ½]]'' shout out; in ''NEXT'', the [[Single-Minded Twins]] are perfect copies of Shampoo, at least in terms of looks.
* The ''[[Bobobobo Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'' manga had plenty of shout outs to other manga or video games (most notably when Yugi pops out of Bo-Bobo's afro and plays Slifer in order to help defeat the enemy -- drawn by the actual ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' artist). The anime cut down on this (the aforementioned Slifer scene was something else), but still had some, such as at least one ''[[Naruto]]'' shout out. The English dub, however, added shout outs to all kinds of Western things, such as ''[[Woolseyism|Spongebob Squarepants]]'' and ''[[Woolseyism|American Idol]]''.
** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' has a shoutout to ''[[Bobobobo Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'' aswell. Twice in the 3rd volume of the final arc someone is seen with a Nu hankercheif.
* I would list this under Konami, however this is a ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]!'' anime reference only. The art of "Illegal Summon" -- a card that doesn't exist in the card game -- is that of Jiraiya summoning a Toad. This is a ''[[Naruto]]'' reference that there was really no need for, but like with ''BoboBo'' they are all from the same manga publication.
** Another anime-only card, "[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Cut_Jewel Cut Jewel]", has art which bears a striking resemblance to Sasuke Uchiha cutting a gemm.
** A lot of cards in the game make references to Konami's games. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110720221132/http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/yugioh/images/0/0a/AitsuMFC-NA-C-1E.jpg For example], [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/yugioh/images/1/10/KoitsuMFC-NA-C-1E.jpg these]{{Dead link}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20150418151332/http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/yugioh/images/a/ac/SoitsuDR04-EN-C-UE.png four] [https://web.archive.org/web/20150418151338/http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/yugioh/images/7/7c/DoitsuDR04-EN-C-UE.png cards] represent four characters from the Konami videogame "Sexy Parodius", a parody of Gradius.
** Likewise reason with the above (being that they're all from [[Shonen Jump]]), [[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]] manages to snag a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shout out to the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] franchise: During one of the Omake episodes of ''Haru Haru's Interview Dangerous!'', specifically the one with Basil. Reborn is trying to explain to [[No Social Skills|Basil]] what teens his age do in their free time. In the cross sections of what he's saying, you can see Reborn wearing a green Duel Disk (possibly a transformed Leon).
* ''[[Cosplay Complex]]'' is stuffed to the brim with shout-outs to other series, starting with the previous shows of the producer -- mostly in the form of [[cosplay]] costumes.
Line 122 ⟶ 123:
* ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'' is not notable for [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]], but has at least one: the pre-credits scene from one episode has a cameo by a male prostitute who looks suspiciously similar to one who appeared in an episode of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' (which was produced by the same team).
** Also, the final image of ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'s'' closing titles is a flower lying in a puddle. Now look at the final image of the ''Wolf's Rain'' '''opening''' titles. Different puddle, different flower, but even so...
* The second episode of ''[[This Ugly Yet Beautiful World]]'' had references to ''[[Please Teacher!]]'' and ''[[Ikki Tousen]]'' in two of the characters' daydreams when they try to figure out what to do with Hikari. Towards the end of the series, the English dub added a ''[[The Simpsons]]'' reference ("Thank you, come again!")
* Like Bo-bobo, the Funimation dub of ''Crayon Shin-chan'' had a lot of dialogue shout outs changed to fit the U.S. (usually concerning popular names in media). There was also a passing [[Calling Your Attacks|attack call]] reference to the [[Dragon Ball|Kamehameha]] in one episode.
* Towards the end of ''Space Knight [[Tekkaman Blade]]'', a random man with a very strange hairstyle saves a child in a crowd as the entire city flees from the oncoming aliens immediately following [[The End of the World as We Know It]]. The extra's distinctive hair is that worn by the hero of the original ''Space Knight Tekkaman'' cartoon.
Line 141 ⟶ 142:
* The English dub of Alien 9 has a [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]] shout-out when a nameless student -- voiced by Veronica Taylor, who also played Ash Ketchum -- while chasing a small alien creature with a gang of his friends, gleefully chortles, "Gotta catch 'em all!"
* The ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' manga contains a shout out to ''[[The Fly]]''. "But what about the alchemist who was performing a transmutation when a fly flew into the circle and the guy became a ''fly-man''?" "You dummy! That's from a movie we saw the other day!"
** One Panel in the manga seems to have a [[Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Haré+Guu|pokute]] in the backround.
** Also, in the Viz translation of the manga (chapter 76) references several alternate names for the Philosopher's Stone- one of which is the Sorcerer's Stone. This is a reference to the American release of ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Philosopher's Stone (novel)|Harry Potter Andand Thethe Philosopher's Stone]]'' where the Philosopher's Stone was [[Cultural Translation|renamed the Sorcerer's Stone]].
** Hohenheim's name alludes to the real-life alchemist Paracelcus, who was born Bombastus von Hohenheim before adopting his pseudonym.
** What about the ''[[Indiana Jones]]''-style Giant Rolling Ball of Doom in the 5th laboratory episode of the first series?
Line 154 ⟶ 155:
* In the first chapter of ''[[Bakuman。]]'', the creators [[Shout-Out]] twice to their previous series ''[[Death Note]]''; once when a character jokes about a school book being a Death Note, then when someone references a quote from the mangaka themselves. The series also makes [[Shout-Out|ShoutOuts]] to the popularity of ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' and ''[[One Piece]]''. And this is all in the first chapter.
** Thrice. A character mentions "feeling like I was Gevanni", one of the SPK members.
** A conversation of Jump manga ordering talked about how some of the guys favorite ecchi mangas (like ''[[To Love LOVE-Ru]]'', I''s, and ''[[Ichigo 100%]]'') did worse than others due to people not wanting others to see they had ranked those higher, thus getting lower status and less color pages.
* In ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'', the license plate of Rally's [[Cool Car]] reads BRD-529, which is a reference to ''[[The Blues Brothers]]''.
** A certain massacre is played out very similarly to the infamous police station annihilation scene in ''[[The Terminator]]'', complete with similar shots. Later on someone explicitly refers to the person responsible as "a real live Terminator".
Line 171 ⟶ 172:
** There's also a shout-out to Spongebob in [[Crayon Shin-chan]]. In the gag dub, {{spoiler|Parappa the Kappa}} is revealed to be a parody of Spongebob, although it isn't as popular in Japan, which is possibly why the Japanese version didn't have it.
** In a [[Flash Back]] episode, Yoko appeared looking rather like Yomiko Readman of ''[[Read or Die]]'', and even used the name "Yomako".
** And then there was every single one of the Gainax Girls making an appearance in the [[Hot Springs Episode]]... in bunny costumes. Even the old lady from ''[[AbenobashiMagical MahouShopping ShoutengaiArcade Abenobashi]]''.
* In one of its many [[School Festival]] episodes, ''[[Code Geass]]'' has C.C. wear robotic antennae on her ears which, combined with her long green hair, make her resemble [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Chachamaru]]. In that same episode, Shirley wears a maid outfit inspired by [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Mikuru]] - which is then acknowledged by having Anya Alstreim, voiced by Yuko Goto (Mikuru's voice actress), take notice.
** By coincidence, the joke is preserved in the dub, since [[Stephanie Sheh]], Mikuru's dub VA, also does Anya.
Line 182 ⟶ 183:
** There's also a visual shoutout to ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' in episode 16. Hikaru holds up a toy to show Haruhi, and it looks a lot like Ed. It coincidentially becomes an [[Actor Allusion]] in the dub.
* In the ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'' manga, Rosette shouts "[[Calling Your Attacks|Sinner Attack!!]]" and thrusts out her fingers, holding the watch that unseals Chrono's powers similarly to how the trainers hold Pokeballs in ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]''. (Chrono responds with a confused "What the heck is that?!")
* ''[[Darker Thanthan Black]]'' has a number of shout-outs to other anime: One notable one is where one [[Cosplay Otaku Girl|anime and manga obsessed character]] threatens to write [[Death Note|"in her notebook"]] the name of someone who'd offended her.
** Another ''[[Death Note]]'' [[Shout-Out]]: in episode 22 Amber is seen standing on top of a building eating an apple in a manner resembling Light in the first opening.
** The first season finale has a scene ''very'' similar to the [[Gainax Ending|"Congratulations!" sequence]] from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. And the second has a brief scene of a couple of teenage characters in an alternate world where all of the craziness that made their lives hell hadn't happened.
Line 192 ⟶ 193:
* Not too many people remember it, but the series ''Tetsujin 28-Go'', which became ''[[Gigantor]]'' in the US, featured the first characters with the names [[Akira|"Shotaro Kaneda" and "Shikishima"]]. Naturally, the name "Tetsuo" bit was related to there in a convoluted reference also to the (in?)famous live action cyberpunk film "Tetsuo: The Iron Man".
* Little plastic ducks in the first episode of ''[[Witchblade (anime)|Witchblade]]''. They are ''not'' just random toys in completely made-up scene. It's awesome [[Shout-Out]]: [http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/06/28/doomed_ducks_sail_oceans_for_all_eternity/ read their tragic history] (also see several links in comments). There's even ''[http://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-Rubber-Ducks-Eric-Carle/dp/0007202423/ book]'' about them!
* In a recent chapter of ''[[One Piece]]'' we see some snails (which are used for a lot of things in ''One Piece'') that are able to function as security cameras with the lead one having [https://web.archive.org/web/20100729144558/http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/526/13/ weird looking eyes], which is look a lot like {{spoiler|the Rinnegan}} from ''[[Naruto]]'', which {{spoiler|grants multiple bodies a shared line of vision}}.
** Also, recently introduced character [http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Emporio_Ivankof.jpg Iva]{{Dead link}} looks a lot like [[The Rocky Horror Picture Show|Dr. Frank-N-Furter.]]
** In episode 411 of the anime, a brown-haired [[Gurren Lagann|Yoko]] can be seen briefly glancing over at a nearby commotion.
** During the Thriller Park arc, one of Hogback's underlings is a [[Eyeshield 21|devil-like bat with the number 21]]
Line 211 ⟶ 212:
** In episode one, you can see that Yuno has [http://img209.imageshack.us/img209/1089/shoutoutuf7.jpg six volumes] of ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'' manga.
** And then there are of course all those [[Cosplay]] outfits as worn by Yoshinoya-sensei. Her statement that she is "forever 17" is also a reference to seiyuu [[Kikuko Inoue]].
** The "I'm 17" bit is also a point of comedy for ''[[MaiMy-HiME]]'''s Midori Sugiura. In an [["On the Next..."]] episode voiceover, a few characters express their disbelief about Midori's real age, and Yukariko (voiced by Inoue) tells then that they should [[Take Our Word for It|take Midori to her word]].
* Listen closely during Lena's first big fight scene in ''[[Mai-Otome 0[[~S.ifr]]~]]''. One of the bad guys summons "Bakutenou", itself a [[Shout-Out]] to Midori's Gakutenou. This version looks like a dolphin -- and at that moment the music shifts into "Journey of the Sorceror", the theme of ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]''!
* Episode 5 of ''[[Macademi Wasshoi]]'', aside from being very disturbing, has several Evangelion shout-outs. Sakuma gives orders while sporting a pair of orange-tinted sunglasses and a pair of gloves, and the entire episode they are trying to hold off an advancing Angel, disable its force-field, and preventing it from reaching the center of the academy. Hapshiel's theme is similar to something out of [[Akira]] as well, in fact the end credits to that very episode, are in fact a shut out to [[Rose of Versailles]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iZpSWya2Kc Look at them both carefully] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHOOhExhEr8 they're almost the exact same].
* ''[[Muteki Kanban Musume]]'' begins each episode with a parody of the MGM "roaring lion" [[Vanity Plate]], with main character Miki Onimaru in place of the lion.
* 2nd season ''[[The Tower of Druaga (anime)|The Tower of Druaga]]'' anime. An candy is called Babylim Namco, a shout out to [[Namco]], the company that made [[The Tower of Druaga|the game]].
** In addition, a single episode contained ''[[24|Twenty Four]]'', ''[[The Empire Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[The Great Escape]]'' shout outs.
* The ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]-tan'' omake is itself an imitation of the ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]-tan'' omake and makes clear reference to it several times. The ''[[Toradora!]]'' tiger makes an appearance, too, for the same reason--same publisher/studio (J.C. Staff).
** Speaking of ''Index'', it doesn't really shy away from referencing. Straight in the first episode/volume is Misaka asking Touma "Geez... what were you doing? Pretending to be a Samaritanian, protecting delinquents... are you a [[Great Teacher Onizuka|certain hot-blooded teacher]]?"
*** In episode 20, Yoshikawa is having doubts that Accelerator can save Last Order in time. His response is to throw the phone away and remark "[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann|Ore ga dare da to omotte yagaru?!]]"
Line 227 ⟶ 228:
* ''[[Code Breaker]]'''s current villain, a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]], appears to be a shout-out to [[Death Note|L]]: he has long, messy hair; wears a white shirt and jeans, [[Does Not Like Shoes|goes barefoot]], has abnormal sleeping habits (instead of being awake all the time, he sleeps for roughtly 22 hours at a stretch), and is willing to do anything for what he percieves to be the right thing.
* The ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]: Beautiful Dreamer'' film has a scene from the school festival in planning that's chock full of Shout Outs as a number of people cosplay as other series popular at the time, such as a guy dressed as [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]] waiting in line at the school's infirmary.
** Episode 72 (adapted from manga chapter 78), in which Ataru and his classmates made an amateur film, featured several references, including to ''[[Gone with the Wind]]'', ''[[Sailor Fuku-fuku to Kikanjuu|Sailor Suit and Machine Gun]]'' (with Shinobu acting out the iconic "Kaikan!" scene), ''[[Cyborg 009]]'', and (maybe) ''[[The Sound of Music]]''
** Episode 122 (the episode that introduces Kitsune) features a [[Call Back]] to the previously-mentioned one: Kitsune is looking through the window of a movie theater where the "Kaikan!" scene from ''[[Sailor Fuku-fuku to Kikanjuu|Sailor Suit and Machine Gun]]'' is playing, and an [[Imagine Spot]] follows showing that it reminds him of Shinobu.
** Episode 118 featured another amateur film, this time directed by Megane, which featured a scene of Ataru running away from a bomber airplane while wearing a suit and tie -- likely an homage to the crop duster chase scene from ''[[North by Northwest]]'' (at least, AnimEigo's episode notes identify it as such).
** Episode 121 starts with Princess Kurama's crows using a database of every male in the universe in an attempt to find her perfect mate. One of the candidates displayed for a split second is a [[Known Space|Pierson's Puppeteer]].
* The ''[[Crusher Joe]]'' movie has one scene taking place at a drive-in movie theater, where [[Show Within a Show|what's being shown on the screen]] is something that stars the main characters from ''[[Dirty Pair]]''. (In their original [[Light Novel]] versions, ''Crusher Joe'' and ''Dirty Pair'' are parts of the same continuity. Also, this was actually the earliest animated appearance of Kei, Yuri, and Mugi, since the ''[[Dirty Pair]]'' TV series didn't debut until 2 years later.)
* The entirety of ''[[Jinki Extend]]'' is one big shout out to other [[Mecha]] anime. See the article for more details.
* ''[[Gash Bell]]'' has a few of these. A one-shot demon that Bari faced was named "Donpoccho" -- which according to [[Word of God|the author]] was a reference to Don Patch of ''[[Bobobobo Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'' (although he looks more like [[Shrek]]). Later on, we have Ted, who the author says was based on [[Naruto]] (and went on to have his VA in the Japanese version) and [[Final Boss]] Clear Note, who bears more than a passing resemblance to [[Death Note|Light Yagami]] -- at first, anyway.
* ''[[Saint Young Men]]'' has numerous references to the life and works of Buddha and Jesus.
** [[Death Note|Light Yagami]] is shown in the background when Buddha explains that he'd be worried if a kid wanted his and Jesus' job.
Line 271 ⟶ 272:
*** The entire Willis-Space scene has several Bruce Willis movie shout-outs like with Die-Hard, and Armogeddon. The OVA adds in references to [[The Sixth Sense]] and [[The Fifth Element]].
* The ''[[Battle Athletes]] Victory'' series has a pair of athletes recite the Konami Code to break the concentration of their opponents in a three-legged race.
* ''[[Ponyo Onon athe Cliff Byby Thethe Sea]]'' contains a few Shout-Outs to earlier Miyazaki movies: Fujimoto's ship looks like a boat crossed with [[Laputa: Castle in the Sky|a flaptor]]; the elderly ladies' knick-knack shelf contains a toy [[Spirited Away|bird god]], and when Sosuke puts his dad's hat on he looks a lot like [[My Neighbor Totoro|Tombo]].
** Other shououts to Totoro in ''Ponyo'': They have a magnet on the fridge that looks like Totoro's little white friend, and at one point Lisa sings a line from the theme song of that movie.
* In one episode of ''[[Ah! My Goddess|Ah! Megami-sama]]: [[Oddly-Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo|Sorezore no Tsubasa]]'', Skuld sets one of her inventions, controlled by a SNES controller, to reset with a variant of the [[Classic Cheat Code|Konami Code]] (SET SET instead of B A). It could be coincidence, but...
* ''[[Gintama]]'' Has quite a few of these, and there are numerous [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]]s to ''Jump'' Magazine (probably close to, if not more than, a hundred or so) and many, many other things.
* ''[[Wings of Honneamise Royal Space Force|Royal Space Force: The Wings of HonneamiseHonnêamise]]'' may have changed the name of the first man in space, the country that launched him, and the history surrounding it, but they didn't change the [[wikipedia:Vostok-K|hardware design]] much.
* In the [[Hot Springs Episode]] of ''[[Princess Lover]]!'', the circumstances may be different, but there's a clear [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Kaiji]]'' in the form of [[Butt Monkey|Nezu]] falling down a trapdoor in silence, and Teppei's face drawn using Nobuyuki Fukumoto's distinct style.
* ''[[SeitokaiStudent noCouncil's IchizonDiscretion]]'': ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', ''[[Lucky Star]]'', ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' and ''[[Dragon BallDragonball Evolution]]'', ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', ''[[K-On!]]!'', ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'', ''[[Death Note]]'', ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''... Did I miss any? By the way, the show has only been going for two episodes so far.
** You did. These were only (part of) the most obvious ones. Most of the lines in this show were [[Shout-Out|ShoutOuts]]s, but a particularly frapant example is the 1:1 remake of ''[[Strike Witches]]''. And don't even get started on the cut scenes. Actually, if you want to list all the [[Shout-Out|ShoutOuts]]s, you need to make another wiki specially for this.
*** Before the opening theme of the first episode: Forest.com, Keisato, Kai!, followed by the black butler, Lucky Star, Evolution, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (the second season, too, nonetheless), the costumes, and Lucky Star again. This time way too blunt. WAY TOO BLUNT. This makes 12 blatant shout outs for 2 minutes and 20 seconds.
** How did it shout out to DBE? Was it a [[Take That]]?
*** -->'''Minatsu''': "Then let's make it into a story about collecting seven balls with stars on them!" <br />'''Ken''': "Evolution" <br />'''Minatsu''': "Don't mention that one!"
* [[Gundam Seed|Mwu La Flaga]], gundam names sometimes don't make sense at first, until you realize that Koyasu's VA voiced Simon Harvard, the pilot of the [[Tech Romancer|Rafaga]].
* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''. Chie-sensei is an [[Expy]] of Ciel from ''[[Tsukihime]]'', though I guess it could count as a shout out as well.
Line 299 ⟶ 300:
*** Bleach has a surprising amount of shout outs to Dragon Ball. Yammamoto looks very similar to max power Roshi in many scenes. The scene where Ulquiorra and Yammi arrive in karakura town is obviously based on Vegeta and Nappa's entrance (in fact, that whole mini saga itself was very similar to the Saiyan Saga). Lets not forget that unreleased Ulquiorra's cero is basically a green version of Freeza's death beam.
* ''[[Kämpfer]]'' has A TON! Just listing them all would already be staggering enough. And in only a span of 5 episodes, they've got like 15 different shout outs already.
* ''[[Twentieth20th Century Boys]]'' has a chapter named "A Quiet Town in Germany," which is a nod to the place where all the shit hit the fan in Urasawa's previous work, ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]''.
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20200122221001/http://www.mangatoshokan.com/read/azumangadaiohhoshuuhen/692/2/17 This page] from the ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' "supplemental comics" suggest that the scary movie in question is ''[[The Ring]]''.
* The English dub of ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]!'' contains a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' in the second episode preview -- Sato shouts "I mustn't run away!" followed by Hitomi retorting "What are you, stupid?" Those are the catchphrases for Shinji and Asuka, respectively.
** Another Shout out is to ''[[True Tears]]'' the anime the "Moe Game" Sato worked on is based off of. Why would I say this? Well the game was named "True Words" and the main character on the cover looked almost identical to [[True Tears|Noe.]]
* In the ''[[Mazinger Z]]'' manga, after Boss gets his [[Clothing Damage|uniform shredded]] by the Gamia-Qs, he exclaims that this is turning into a Shameless School. ''Shameless School'' is, of course Go Nagai's first work.
* ''[[Kurohime]]'': A mysterious [https://web.archive.org/web/20100522013648/http://www.onemanga.com/Kurohime/58/15/ shinigami] looks a lot like, well, [[Death Note|a mysterious Shinigami]].
* ''[[Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu]]''. Umm... One piece of advice: watch the background. By the time you see Fumoffu, you would already be dead from laughter.
* ''[[Initial D]]'' almost ALWAYS gets a [[Shout-Out]] in a parody series. There's the AE86 appearing in ''[[School Rumble]]'', the parody race in ''[[Lucky Star]]'', the car crashes involving tofu in ''[[Miami Guns]]'', even a badly drawn picture on the chalkboard in ''[[Pani Poni Dash!]]''...
Line 313 ⟶ 314:
* ''[[The World God Only Knows]]''. [[Self-Demonstrating Article|You dare to test your knowledge in this manga? You think you got the right stuff? You want the]] ''[[Self-Demonstrating Article|shout-out?]]'' [[Self-Demonstrating Article|You can't]] '''[[Self-Demonstrating Article|handle]]''' [[Self-Demonstrating Article|the shout-out! And all the other works you thought were "overloaded" with shout-outs? Forget about it. From direct to subtle, the manga has allusions you cannot even begin to perceive. Try to realize as many allusions as possible without looking at our folder of collected shout-outs in the article, well organized in order of appearance and linked to the source itself. Or, don't even look at it and try to catch 'em all. Go ahead, make our day. We dare you, we double dare you.]]
** Here's a list of the most difficult ones to realize: Asaoka Megumi's song, The Story of Perrine, ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]'', ''Commodore Matthew Perry'', ''Esper Mami'', ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' (the TV series), ''[[Char's Counterattack]]'', ''[[Kamen Rider Zolda]]'', ''Honda Keiko'', ''[[You Only Live Twice]]'', ''[[Back to The Future Part III]]'', ''[[Kinnikuman]]'', ''Assemble Insert''...
** [[The World God Only Knows/Shout -Out|Now has its own page.]]
* ''[[Bondage Queen Kate]]'' is set on a distant desert world called ''[[Dune]]''. Creatures called "Sand worms" are among the indigenous species present on the planet.
** Additionally, when leading an assault on the Ulfan headquarters, bookish Lieutenant Smith suddenly sports a [[Rambo|heavy machine gun while wearing a long red bandanna]].
Line 324 ⟶ 325:
** [[Never Say "Die"|But it was just a camera robot]].
** Naw, it was a cargo robot..... [[Dragon Ball Abridged|AND THE CARGO WAS PEOPLE!!]]
* In ''[[Angel Beats!]]'' practically every word that comes out of TK's mouth is a Shout Out. References include [[The Terminator]], [[Bob Dylan]], and many other musical references, cementing his status as the [[Ensemble Darkhorse]].
** At one point, Otonashi attempts to imagine what Angel's house would look like. What comes up are heavily pixellated versions of [[Howl's Moving Castle (anime)|Howl's castle]] and [[Laputa: Castle in the Sky|Laputa.]]
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'' features a number of music references:
** Blair has an attack called [[The Smashing Pumpkins|Smashing Pumpkin]]
Line 336 ⟶ 337:
** Maka Albarn may or may not take her last name from [[Blur (band)|Damon]] [[Gorillaz|Albarn]], and Black☆Star may or may not be named after a hip hop group.
** As for non-music-related shout-outs, Death the Kid's intro episode begins with the trio chasing a developing Kishin which Death refers to as Lupin. This may refer to [[Arsène Lupin]], but more likely refers to ''[[Lupin III]]''.
* In the English dub of ''[[Elf Princes Rane]]'', a character rattles off a string of gibberish to a confused crowd. This starts with the phrase "Klaatu barada nikto" (''[[The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951 film)|The Day the Earth Stood Still]]''), contains the names Londo, G'Kar, Delenn, Loren ''([[Babylon 5]])'', and ends with "Bah weep grana weep ni ni bong" (''[[Transformers]]''.
* When ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' was adapted to anime, Shun and Ikki got an [[Adaptation Dye Job]] that may remind you of a [[Super Mario Bros.|famous pair of brothers]]. To be specific, Shun's color scheme is reminiscent of Luigi's 8-bit sprite, while Ikki's is reminiscent of Mario's back in the mid 80s. Looking at Luigi's portrayal [[Hilarious in Hindsight|nowadays]]...
* ''[[Durarara!!]]'' is another anime with tons of Shout Outs. In the first episode, for instance, Walker and Erika walk around with a life-sized cutout of [[Spice and Wolf|Holo]], which the animators stubbornly kept in frame for several minutes. The same company, Brain's Base, worked on both ''Durarara'' and the second season of ''Spice and Wolf''.
* ''[[Hanaukyo Maid Tai]]''
** ''La Verite''
Line 352 ⟶ 353:
* When cops find [[Cat Eyed Boy]] lurking in a graveyard, one of the police wonders if he's "Keetaro, that graveyard kid" (referring to [[GeGeGe no Kitaro|Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro]] who was originally knows as "Kitaro of the Graveyard").
* [[Jewelpet Sunshine]] once parodied ''[[Flashdance]]'' by having Garnet dance to What A Feeling for a competition. And the entire sequence was almost the same!
* ''[[ShuffleSHUFFLE!]]''
** There's a [[Gundam|Nyandam]] transformable action figure in one of the toy stores.
** The [[Badass Adorable]] cat that appears in the show-to-commercials transition ends his combo with a [[Street Fighter II|Hadoken]].
* The ''[[Baccano!]]'' [[Light Novels]] have a habit of referencing American movies, particularly gangster flicks. This goes meta in ''Bullet Garden'', when several Mask Makers mooks have a Tarantino-like [[Seinfeldian Conversation]] about how they're totally having one of those Tarantino-like [[Seinfeldian Conversation|Seinfeldian Conversations]].
{{quote|"Then I guess I'm Steve Buscemi."
"No, I'm Buscemi."
Line 367 ⟶ 368:
** Near the end of Vol. 3, Tamamin asks the {{spoiler|[[Incompatible Orientation|recently dumped]]}} boyfriend of {{spoiler|[[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Mari]]}} if he would like to cosplay as [[Code Geass|Lelouch]]
** One of the omake of Vol. 3 had Tamamin cosplaying up as [[Yes! Pretty Cure 5|Cure Dream]]. She also brought a [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi]] costume.
* ''[[Wandering Son]]'' has its fair share of [[Shout-Out]]'s. The final episode of the manga had a [[Shout-Out]] to an earlier manga by the mangaka, one scene had Nitori say the exact same thing the protagonist of another manga by the mangaka had said, the series has had multiple references to ''[[Anne of Green Gables]]'', and in chapter 92 Chizuru is shown reenacting a scene from ''[[JuonJu-On]]'' for a [[School Festival]].
** In the anime the scene where Chi is introduced is changed to be more like how Haruhi is introduced in ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]''
* Just about every episode of ''[[Carnival Phantasm]]'' features [[Chew Toy|Lancer]] [[They Killed Kenny Again|dying]]. Just about every one of Lancer's deaths is followed by [[South Park|"Oh my God, they killed Lancer!" "You bastards!"]]
