Re-watch that scene, its him. I dont get how that beginning part pieces in with the rest of the story. I think his slot as a perminent humanoid-animal character was taken by Viral, and they just said **** it, turn him into that thing for 30 seconds the thats it!" Odd concept though. maybe it fits into the parrelel works? Those were cool (Exept one...)

I watched the episode in question while I was calling you out on it and, much to my surprise, it didn't happen the way you said at all. They don't even tell you how far in to the battle they are until it's a few minutes in. Maybe you need to rewatch the series.

Season 2, episode 17/18; they go from every faction teaming up to prevent orbital debris from demolishing a city, and a major character dying...then the next episode, it's four months later and opens with Celestial Being in a giant battle, destroying an orbital cannon.

So...Dragon Ball Z is a parody, then? Because it's literally just Gurren Lagann without the robots.

Um...no. All kinds of no. That's not what TMNT did. They adapted it to be marketable to kids show, not to make fun of the source material.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

It was fan made, as an intro, using the theme from Lupin the 3rd for crying out loud. It was really well done though.
Also, did you know there is a live action MGS Movie? Its full, and 100 percent fan made, and I never watched the whole thing, but from what I could tell, it was OK.
