Shmup parodies on anime series

Post by KAI »

I have mixed feeling every time i see something like that. Anime producers seems to think that shmups are all about flashy lights and shitload of bullets.

Tell me what do you think

Image
From "Kami no mizo Shiru Sekai". Dodonpachi whit a guy riding a horse, the big ship shots exactly the same bullet patterns as Dodonpachi's Last Boss. IKD must be proud.


Image
From "Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai", the main character plays this 2hu wannabe.


Image
From "Pani Poni Dash". No comments.

I'm wondering if the No More Heroes 2 shmup, which is based on a satirical anime, counts.

Not always. HG101's Gradius page has some classier cameos listed.

La Blue Girl (yes, the infamous hentai):

Sky Girls (owned by Konami, so Vic Viper is part of series canon!):

There was some recent anime that used the Tatsujin/Truxton bomb sprite. Maybe someone else knows more. There was also an arcade-themed episode of NieA_7 where they play this fictional versus shmup.

I think the opening of Genshiken 2 and in one of the episodes Madarame is playing Shikigami no Shiro III.

"NieA_7" Vs Shmup, seems good.

"Arcade Gamer Fubuki". Lolis can play shmups on animes, that's a dogma.

Not anime, but the funniest shmup parody I've seen was the space battle in Ice Pirates.

I was watching "Carnival Phantasm" with my friends, and I was the only one who laughed with these jokes. Sad story.

Does Konami know about that?

That pic is hilarious, by the way.

There's a French-Italian live action film La Cena where a Japanese kid dining at the restaurant with his parents plays a shmup on his handheld (I think it was Neo Geo Pocket or GBC). The game could have been Magical Chase or Cotton. Anyway, a witch or wizard riding a broomstick was a motif related to one of the film's stories.
The actor who played the professor is also to be seen in the Italian-Argentinian film Una noche con Sabrina Love (yes, it is every bit as good as the title suggests and I recommend it highly).
As I already mentioned somewhere, one of Tenamonya Voyagers episode's staff roll is upon a yukkuri shmup footage (years before yukkuri became a thing of Touhou).

Looks like the PC version of Raiden IV that she's playing (or it could be the 360 version for that matter). Of course, the original arcade version of R-IV is running on a Taito Type X setup.

All I know is that Moe killed shmups, and dealt a fatal blow to Japanese videogames in general.

It also lobotomized Japanese TV animation.

Basically Moe has been the bane of my existence for the last 10 years.

I gotta admit, this caught me off guard. Also, the teacher of this manga plays as the octopus in Parodius for obvious reasons.

The world god only knows at 11:50 as you mentioned. I digged out the whole EP because it is pretty hilarious and the bad singing at the ending really got me. There are various game sytem references throughout the EP.
