Line 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 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].
Line 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]].
Line 276:
* 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]] 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: The Wings of Honnêamise|Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honneamise]]'' 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.
* ''[[Seitokai no Ichizon]]'': ''[[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]], 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]], 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.
Line 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]]''.
* [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.
Line 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 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''.
Line 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!"]]
