| I've seen the genre "Parody" in some Animes like "One punch man" and "Gintama" and I was wondering what exactly this genre is.Can someone explain it to me?Thanks :) |
| "Parody- Used to poke fun or mock original pieces of work. " There's your answer straight from Yahoo. |
 |
| It means you don't have to take the show seriously. |
| let the parody speak to you |
| Sonic X is basically an isekai |
| It's where they don't give a damn with copyrights. |

| There are two main types: anime that parody a specific type of anime such as One Punch Man and Madoka Magica and anime that parody other anime along with other things such as Seitokai no Ichizon, Lucky Star, Joshiraku, and Gintama. There is some overlap between these, though. The whole concept is mockery. Satire is a similar concept if you understand that better. |

| Satire is making fun of something, likely to criticize it. OPM is satirical because it makes fun of superhero tropes. Parody is imitating something in a humorous way, not essentially to criticize it but just for laughs. Like, say this is a parody People mix them together for some reason. And no, Madoka Magica is far from a parody. |

| the official guideline says Parody - Anime that imitate other stories (can be from TV, film, books, historical events, ...) for comic effect by exaggerating the style and changing the content of the original. Also known as spoofs. This is a sub-genre of comedy. https://myanimelist.net/info.php?go=genre |

| Parody, in genre, means poking fun of something that is already existing by creating something that is necesarrily close to it, yet it is not it. This is once widespread in the anime industry. However, after a law has been passed which banned parodying to a greater extent, this genre has been dying a slow death to be honest. Gintama is a perfect example for this. And Hayate no Gotoku was once this genre before it switches into a more action-oriented, romance and harem comedy. |
