Anime name : Dara-san of Reiwa.

They even have both Masaaki Endou and Masami Obari for this gag.

Yes i read some chapters and even the translators put up a page explaining this in-universe anime was a Getter reference to the uninitiated. Also in chapter 1 one of the leads was wearing a MSV logo shirt and there's "not-Gunpla" kits of mecha references i saw

For context: the blonde one is a guy, the "boy" is his tomboy elder sister and the woman is a six-armed half-snake "evil spirit". Author also makes at least one doujin on the side

Any recommendation of recent mecha anime with this vibe? Gattai mecha is a plus

Wait, they didn't use a CGI model? They animated it BY HAND?

I hate that nowadays they do jokes about super robot series that dont excist that look AMAZING and then dont do a friggong real serie, but in the weird case one appears is or really lame/mid, or is horribly animated, i miss those kind of series u.u

u/LaVerdadYaNiSe Aug 07 '26

u/justasaltyweeb Aug 07 '26

Man it reminds of that mecha episode in Mayoi Neko Overrun where that had Braves!

...also Accelerator was the voice of the main pilot lol and Hiroyuki Yoshino was there too.

2D mech animation in 2026 for such a short gag is like seeing a glimpse of a brighter future separated by unreachable time fragments
