This year we see a new season of Gintama is returning soon ( and rank in MAL ranking like always ) while the manga is coming to an end , Fairy Tail manga has ended already with news that the final anime season has been announced and SAO movie : Sword Art Online the Movie -Ordinal Scale- is out .

But it puzzled me about the last two anime .
Why haven't Gintama parody Fairy Tail and SAO yet?
Gintama is like the king of parody of anime and games . Whether is new fresh anime or old classic anime no one is safe from the parody machine of Gintama . This year Love Live has being parodied .

Sure Gintama parody Dragon Ball , One Piece , Naruto and Bleach mainly due to being Shonen Jump and anime like Ao no Exorcise and D. Gray Man have being parodied by Gintama because they are from Shueisha . But top anime like FMA has once being parodied by Gintama despite not being from the same company.

Different publisher. So doing a direct parody is skirting on lots of things.

Gintama doesnt like to parody garbage. Nakama power and Jesus kun too edgy to be parodied.

Not really sure, besides, they parodied stuff like Gundam among other things. Maybe the iconic level?

I'm pretty sure Japan is a little more loose on stuff like this, as such you can sometimes see parody of things from different publisher. Though perhaps they tend to stick to their own publisher a little just to be safe.

There's also a chance the author might not like these types of shows all that much...

Why making a parody about something which is unintentional funny in the first place ?

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

A show must reach a certain standard to be parodied by Gintama. And let's face it, those two are absolutely dreadful.

Objectively. They are so bad they transcend subjectivity.
They are objectively shit.

I guess because Gintama is too good to do parody of SAO or Fairy Tail xD

Because SAO is a parody of itself, so there's no need for that.

I don't know the reason, but Gintama could decide not to parody those animes because they aren't as important and influential as Dragon Ball, Bleach, One Piece, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Doraemon, Mobile Suit Gundam...

Anyway, I don't have anything against Fairy Tail.

Because SAO is already less relevant than it once was. Let it die.

I doubt it. SAO fans are mostly casual viewers that most likely couldn't care less about people posting on forums.

They haven't done Dragon Ball Super yet. Anything recent is off limits, it's got to be something a bit older.

Gintama didn't parody those two for obvious reason !! Both don't deserve to be parodied cuz the two are already a parody lol

So we can't parody a parody ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

You don't have to be a fucking expert to see that a show that aired in 2012 has decreased in relevance.

It just had a successful movie and is the highest selling LN series this year.

Well, it's not like it's gintama's last season already. You can keep your hopes up & wait til the final season or maybe they'll insert it in some of the coming episodes, who knows. If you ask me, i can't think of a perfect way to do a parody of fairy tail & sao at this point of the anime. Maybe an intro for the last arc as a flash back parody.
