As much as I love shows that make blatant references like Hayate and Lucky Star, I kinda like references that are more subtle, such as Arika using Dendoh's Sword of Akatsuki
Also, on the Nanoha note, Signum is based off Lamia Loveless. They have similar personalities, their ultimate attacks are bows and they even have the same voice actress.

I agree with that, while shows like Lucky Star are great but the subtle references beat out because they are unexpected.Destiny_Gundam wrote:As much as I love shows that make blatant references like Hayate and Lucky Star, I kinda like references that are more subtle

Check the Random Video thread for said video.Recon 5 wrote:Ya know, someone made a MAD movie of the Nanoha transformation sequence using the GaoGaiGar transformation soundtrack.

Plus Zest (I think that's his name) has a striking similarity to Zengar. And his showdown with Signum was pretty epic, as everything Zengar does is.
And just for the record, the StrikerS staff admitted to being fans of mecha. Kind of makes sense since mecha and magic girl anime often have so many similarities. Thank you, Uncle Go Nagai.

I just saw Hayate no Gotoku episode 4 and I found some references. Hinagiku's older sister holds the sword the same way that Saito Hajime from Rurouni Kenshin and even says his infamous Slay Evil Immediately line. One of the teachers was building a Char's Zaku II model kit. Those references make it so much funnier.

Guys,
I found these pics in other Gundam forums showing the seed characters such as Kira and Athrun in 00.
Kira shopping new spam parts for his improved ultra awesome freedom in the upcoming seed movie.
Athrun is running away from his tyrannical overlord Cagali by hiding in AD universe

It might not be an "anime" cameo per se, but in one of the Orb episodes in Gundam SEED (post Jesus getting his Freedom), for a few moments you can see an animated version of Nami Tamaki's "Believe" music video. I can't remember exactly what episode, but I think its the one right before the Drug trio show up, when the leaders are talking about evacuations. I just thought that was a little meta for Gundam.
And I still love all of the mecha cameos in the last three episodes of G Gundam. Man, Wing Gundam looks so much better without all the extra red.

And who can forget GEAR Fighter Dendoh's tribute to Super Robots? (Of particular note, Raideen's bow and the Combattler V's Chodenchi Yoyos...)
Oddly enough, they remembered Xabungle, too.

About anyone could look like "Kira". Heck, I even think that he could've been Kaoru from Ai Yori Aoshi. Same voice actor, only Kaoru was done better.
I am a general mecha fan! Anything from Mazinger Z to Gundam, Getter Robo to Macross!

Wow. I can't believe I missed that. It even crossed my mind at one point: "Signum sounds a lot like someone I've heard before...but who?"

I also heard the new Genshiken series is making a lot of references to stuff. Is this true and how so?

The rest appeared in an episode with some masked "ball".
Mazinnger Z
Zaku II
Alien Ok not really anime but still worth mentioning.
Char Aznable
