Take That/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

** Taken a step further when that last line is abruptly interrupted by [[The End]] {{spoiler|of the introduction.}}

* ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]'' features numerous [[Take That|Take Thats]] against ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya|Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu]]''. Also:

'''Majiru Itoshiki:''' "No, stop, you're going to talk about something stupid. Like [[Lucky Star|how you like to eat a chocolate cornet]]!" }}

** Also, [http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/10/18/goku-zetsubou-op-revealed-skewers-lucky-star/ one section in the Goku OVA] makes some jabs at Chinese knockoffs, including a scene where a Chinese [[Honey Trap]] specialist tries to bribe a group [[Otaku]] upon whom government secrets were confided, with inferior knockoffs of ''[[Clannad]]'', ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' and ''[[Lucky Star]]'', [[Genre Savvy|with little success]].

** Of course, since this ''is'' a satire series, it's loaded with [[Take That|Take Thats]], from [[Michael Jackson]] to corporate sponsorship naming rights. They're also not as insulting as normal [[Take That|Take Thats]] are. And as if to leverage their external criticisms, the show is also fond of [[Self-Deprecation]], both towards the show itself, Koji Kumeta (the author) and [[Studio Shaft]].

* Exclusive to the dub of ''[[Samurai Pizza Cats]]'', we have the lines

** A similar Take That appears in the theme song itself.

* In the English dub of ''[[Bleach]]'', during the Bount arc, there's a scene where Orihime offers Rukia a pudding-filled rice ball. Rukia's response is as follows:

* ''[[Naruto]]'' has one that's fairly subtle and [[Genius Bonus|obscure]]: Deidara notes that his art is not "pop art" but "superflat". You'll only notice that [[Take That]] if you know what [[wikipedia:Superflat|superflat]] and remember that Deidara is [[Mad Artist|evil]] and his "works of art" are in fact ''[[Mad Bomber|explosives]]''.

* Earlier chapters of the ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'' manga feature swipes at numerous Japanese politicians.

* The ''[[Code Geass]]'' fandom has a rather vocal segment which feels that the [[School Festival]] [[Filler]] episodes are pointless wastes of time that distracts from the main plot. Bandai's response came in the dub, when during one of those selfsame [[School Festival]] episodes, Milly comments that "Sometimes life just has these little filler moments - and that's okay!".

** Unknown if this is dub only, but episode 18 appears to have a subtle Take That against the [[Never Say "Die"]] in American Anime Editing.

'''''Sir Bradley''''': Irrelevant; Killing is all one should do on the battlefield. }}

* [[Pluto]] makes only the barest attempts to hide its criticisms of the Iraq War. The United States of Thracia suspects another country of making Robots of Mass Destruction, but before other countries can complete their investigation into whether it's true, Thracia sends troops in and starts a horrific, wasteful war that desvastates the country and leaves just about everyone who fought in it with PTSD, human and robot alike. And the president of Thracia is a guy taking orders from a teddy bear.
