Robot Parody? I thought it was unique...

Dude, it parodies everything from Gundam to Transformers and it's not the first to do that.

Any references you can point out? (Besides the headmaster?)

A few cameos here and there but no, it isn't. Cameo =/= parody. You're thinking of Megas XLR. Yes, it started as a parody of the Super Robot genre, but by Episode 8 it walked right past parody into the genuine article.

What? Time-skips aren't a form of parody, tons of shows use them. Gundam 00 and Gundam AGE both did it twice each, and Gundam is a staple of giant robot fiction.
You made a pretty bad call with this one.
Dead Metal wrote:Yes of course because time skips usually happen in the middle of a multi-part story ark just to return in the middle of another multi part storyline.
Shadowman wrote:Dead Metal wrote:Yes of course because time skips usually happen in the middle of a multi-part story ark just to return in the middle of another multi part storyline.
Um...the time skip happened between story arcs. Team Dai-Gurren defeats Lordgenome, then it skips ahead seven years for the Anti-Spiral story arc. I think you actually just missed an episode.

Nope, I'm talking about the first time skip, the one that happens after Lord Genome teases Virol with the origin of the Beast men and what humans are.
The next episode takes place a month later on the 7th day of the battle against lord Genome.
Check episodes 13 and then 14, then tell me I missed an episode.

Well, you're right about there being another time skip, it's a been a couple years since I watched the show. But there's no real break in the story, and the viewer is never left hanging on what happened, like you're saying. "It's Day 6 of the battle, we're here, bad guys are there. Good to go? Good to go."
Oh, and it's day six, not seven.
So you're still dead wrong about it being a parody. And no amount of arguing is going to change that, in fact, it's just making you look sillier.
Unless you want to start calling Gundam 00 a parody, they did literally the exact same thing.

Not a parody of anything specific, more a broad parody of the genre and pretty much everything in it made me believe it was.

Well to tell you the truth, it's not. Calling this a parody is like calling every mech based anime a parody of Gigantor. Or calling every other anime a parody because they have funny moments in them. The time skip thing, we've shown you that that has nothing to do with being a parody either. And what other anime do you see from people living underground to throwing galaxies? This question just makes me call it one thing. Overkill
