Genre Roulette: Difference between revisions

Musical '''Genre Roulette''' is closely related to [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]. The difference is that a Genre Roulette album can have a country song followed by a punk song, while an NPZR album will have a song that's country ''and'' punk at the same time.

 

 

{{examples}}

* The ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' anime played this with pretty much every episode being a parody of a certain genre. Everything from War Movies, to Dating Sims, to Sports, to Variety Shows to Post-Apocalyptic is given a once over.

** ''[[Excel Saga (anime)|Excel Saga]]'' made a point of this, opening ''every episode'' with manga author Koshi Rikdo giving his (reluctant) approval to give the series a Genre Shift. The style and weirdness remained consistent enough despite this, however.

* ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]''. As a whole though, you can probably put it into [[Magical Realism]], though every piece has its own defined genre.

* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''.

* ''[[Brigadoon Marin and Melan]]'' is a sci-fi adventure drama, but it's also a middle-school [[Slice of Life]] show, a comedy with occasional parodic elements, and a teen romance. One minute you're in the middle of a serious political discussion at an alien council, and the next minute, the aliens are trying to settle their dispute with a pie fight. Serious [[Mood Whiplash]] may result.
