what are your favorite anime references in anime
everyone knows about the references in ngnl and the monogatari series though
but what are the most funny and underrated references you know?

my favorite is probably the aot reference in keijo
also one of my favorites is the giggamesh reference (also in keijo)

I haven't seen many, but I really like the NGE ending reference in that one Gintama episode. I was still watching NGE during the time so Gintama actually spoiled it for me :p

Generic answer is Gintama, Gintama parodied a lot of other series, especially other manga in Jump.

For serious scene (not for comedic purpose), Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann referenced some most memorable scenes from Ashita no Joe.

there are lots, for example in banneko tv, the mother picks up a desk and says:''otoko nante...'', she was about to say ''otoko nante dai kirai'' shinobu's catch phrase in urusei yatsura, well, it's the same VA.
also in banneko, they put a short clip of nekki basara singing, it was the same studio production reed.
in ad police ova there is a big poster with lum, weird seeing lum in a cyberpunk anime made by aic

Well, in the last episode of Gintama I've watched, they were supposed to tell scary/ghost stories but kept mixing them up with Saint Seiya's plot and characters, while the MC complained they were gonna get sued by Toei Animation


That pretty much describes almost every Gintama episode
(another episode was about a shinigami, and you can't even imagine how many direct references to Bleach they did)

The way Gintama parodies almost everything is genius, especially the shounen stereotypes!

Also, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei has some funny references to many anime, parricularly on the black board and the walls of the classroom that you cant immediately see, and that is if the sub groups actually translate everything

Erika and Walker referenced many other series, I think most of them were LN series from the same publisher with DRRR!!. Those otaku duo were just hilarious overall.

about 50 times in gintama I think. Fortunatly, you do not need to know any of these to enjoy gintama. I didn't even understand half of those.
