This shit is better then Akira

That was my fav episode

>always the same Akira references
>always the same Ghibli references
>always the same Sailor Moon references
Get another anime to reference, it's always the same shit over and over

This

Yeah, cause its references that people get.

Obscure references are rarer because only a few people would know them in the first place, let alone spot them.

>subtle
>the overplayed Akira reference
Man, i love this ref, but i won't call it subtle at this point.

>always the same Evangelion references
added one for you

>Every cartoon network creator
>REMEMBER THIS ANIME FROM THE 80s/90s?!
Jesus, no wonder there's nothing entertaining coming from this studio anymore.

Modern cartoon creators in general have a massive boner for the 80s/90s (aka their childhoods)

That's fucking dumb, references aren't supposed to be substitutes for actual jokes
Adventure Time of all things got this right by referencing shit like Zardoz

Craig of the Creek does anime references pretty good, maybe i'm just easy

Then where's all the overt Tenchi Muyo references? Or Yu Yu Hakusho? Or Slayers? Ranma 1/2? Or Escaflowne? Or Fist of the North Star? Or Inuyasha? Or Samurai Pizza Cats? Hell, Gundam of all things is barely referenced. How the fuck do you run the well dry with constant references to DBZ and Sailor Moon, and yet leave out THE modern mecha anime series?

>most of Zig Forums only knows titmouse because of big mouth these days

Which ones have CotC done?

I initially only knew of them because of the Scott Pilgrim animation

That’s a Zig Forums I no longer want to be a part of...

Just random parodies mostly, like My Hoagie Academia and Two Piece, but every so often theres mini references like when JP holds up a tiny version of the goat boat from One Piece and stuff.

Plus the Elders are meant to be loser weebs so whenever they're doing stuff its normally got some kind of anime joke whenever they do something

>megas xlr
>class of 3000
>motorcity
>mao mao
>cleopatra in space

no one watches fucking big mouth
if any newfag were to recognize titmouse would be from the last 2

Maybe because, you know, these are the only anime worthwhile

Learning "creativity" in the usa is basically learning a book of official jokes.

Good joke redditor

a comedy master

Oh shit, I loved Motorcity. I heard they were prety cool with Zig Forums but I didn't know they had an actual shoutout! I wish they could continue the series, or at least have something in the same vein. There's not enough race/car shows out there.

i thought the hole was a reference to a certain showrunner's vagina

Don't forget the Naruto or DBZ reference.

They jerk off over unconscious women?

didn't the guy who created titmouse also create mtv's downtown

Yep.

>Just random parodies mostly, like My Hoagie Academia and Two Piece
Oh, so shit ones.

Uwotm8?
Didn't titmouse to Metalocalypse?

Blow your brains out

References should be easter eggs, not substitutes for making something original.

>It's a pokemon reference
>It's a yugi-oh reference
>It's a speed racer reference

>Or Slayers
There's an entire cartoon of this, borderline plagiarism.
