Ah! The obscure and hard to find Daicon III. This was the first anime made by Gainax, the group that made Nadia: Secret of Blue Water, and Gunbuster. This was the first parody anime (even though it was only an introduction), and it's sucess eventually led to the creation of Daicon IV. By the way, that is an RX-78-2 Gundam turning into Ideon on the right. Length: 1 intro (~5 min) Rating: N/A

The sequel to the lesser known Daicon III. This was the second anime made by Gainax, the group that made FLCL, Mahoromatic, and Evangelion. This was the first parody anime (even though it was only an introduction), and it paved the way for Otaku no Video which, in turn, paved the way for everything else. By the way, that is a Z'gok in the lower right screenshot, and those are stormtroopers sitting behind Darth Vader on the right. Length: 1 intro (~5 min) Rating: N/A

| Excel
Saga Excel Saga is hard to describe. The secret ideological organization ACROSS is trying to take over the world, one city at a time. Each episode, the original manga author gives his approval to parody a different type of show. Then the cast of insane (literally) characters proceeds to go about their daily business, which normally involves several of them dying and being brought back to life. This show definitely deserves it's 17+ rating, and that's just for the first 25 episodes. Don't even ask about episode 26. Length: 26 episodes (~25 min ea.) Rating: 17+
