I CANNOT BELIVE THEY DREW SASSHI'S PENIS! Haha! Great Terminator reference!

"You fucking cowboy! On your way back from fucking school!?"

Hilarious North By North West reference with the plane shooting at Hasshi.

LOVED the Die Hard 2 explosion: "Oh shit!"

Indiana Jones + Matrix = LOL.

Split-second Akira reference with the cult lady sliding down the building!

Oh God, so many laughs in this episode, haha.

You can see Nenene - the character from manga - in the "Back to the future" scene. Who can tell me, what she speaks there?

I really liked the show at the beginning. it reminded me a lot of FLCL, but my faith in it started to dwindle near the end. This episode brought me back up though. At the end I was just thinking, that was the greatest episode ever! It was hilarious! And it had so many references to great movies.

...Did they just reference Escape from New York and The Thing. HELL YES.

It's too bad that other than this, the first episode, and the flashback one, this show is really falling flat for me though. I had such high hopes and then it turned into mindless LOL RANDOM comedy, oh wells.
I've got this burnin' like my veins are filled with nothin' but gasoline.

Throw oxygen cylinders at it! ROTFLMAO

Terminator, Exorcist, North by Northwest, RoboCop, Die Hard, India Jones, Matrix, Twister, Jaws, Titanic, Air Force One, Back to the Future, Escape from New York...lots of Hollywood movie parodies indeed!

Last episode, here I come... are we there yet? LOL

Eh it was entertaining but the older I get the more I'm realizing that reference-humor is really lazy. They basically predicted Sharknado tho, and that's amazing.

I can't say no to a Monty Python reference, or a Back to the Future reference, or a North by Northwest reference, or a Knight Rider reference, or a Shining reference.

Hell, this whole episode was awesome.

Also, they predicted Sharknado!!!!!!

Arumi beating Sasshi up fingerstyle (like in kung-fu movies) was probably something she's been looking forward to this whole time xD

That Terminator reference x) "why are we naked again" - again?...

There's too much hilarious material here to comment on (and a lot of references that were amusing despite me not "getting" them; not a movie nerd) xD Switching between a serious Masa-jii flashback and THAT...what pacing x) Another episode with amazing in-betweens (and random cats in them, as well as characters from Akira and Honneamise; I wonder who voiced them btw, or did they use prerecorded voices from the movies?), storyboards by Imaishi and Anno voicing Nebula 71 from Spectreman and giving Sasshi an order to transform! Finally I've witnessed him as a "seiyuu" for the 3rd time.

P.S. Great preview for this ep. breaking the 4th wall again. There was even a "director's" voice. Or was it?

That episode was just jam packed with references, probably the most I've ever seen from a single episode. I dunno though, this anime comes across is a little too try hard in it's comedic execution.

this episode was bat shit crazy and reference overload.


Yeah, and that's why it's one of the most unforgettable. Indiana Jones music was pretty much identical. It was easy to understand even back then that the end was near at this point.

It would be very hard to sustain a level of nonsense reference insanity like this episode for even a 13 episode show but this is absolutely Abenobashi at its best. Them all just murdering Jaws with oxygen tanks was really great. If the show had've stayed this insane for the whole run it would be an all-timer.
