OOFURI STAR! I think this one is the most amazing of any Lucky Star parody I've seen yet. The art is FABULOUS.
AZUMANGA TENNIS!
HARUHI KARAOKE PANIC!! Some crazy fans sat around and imitated the seiyuu singing an ENDLESS MEDLEY of songs. It's amazing AND KIND OF EERILY ON TARGET even down to Kyon's inability to sing.
Same as above, but with only Haruhi. It's not as fun, but the imitator is amazing.
GACHI STAR. I think these are the same imitators as the ones in the Haruhi Karaoke Panic but god they sound like them.
Fan version of Taniguchi singing the theme song to the Adventures of Mikuru! SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS THIS IS AMAZING. The lyrics are 150% Taniguchi.
I also love Tomokazu Sugita with an undying flame. Kyon's image song, Kentai Life Returns. He is terrible at singing but who cares, he is going to be Kyon forever. No one will ever be Kyon like Tomokazu Sugita can be Kyon.
Most of the drama CD is A++++ level lulz, but the middle of this one beats even the GAS!GAS!GAS! rap. It starts at around 2:48.
SPEAKING OF GAS!GAS!GAS!
You know how Yuki = Rei and Haruhi is kind of = Asuka and Itsuki is definitely = Kaworu and there's all those Eva parodies? I'm just sayin'.
Haruhi parody of the Death and Rebirth trailer. (compare to the original, for kicks.)
Once upon a time IOSYS made this video, which was inexplicable, but catchy, and in turn spurned so many parodies there are actually parodies of people watching multiple parodies of this video.
Here's a Window's sound effects version of the song, which is genius in and of itself to think about, but somehow even better when it actually happened.
This. I. Well. Just please watch it. Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa has never seen better.
I totally love this AMV because I AM A RABID FANGIRL OKAY. And also because with the limited material it even manages a sort of plot and IT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST I EVER SAW, LEAVE ME ALONE.
But this one flows so much better and I bet if this all you ever saw of Haruhi Suzumiya you would totally believe me if I told you it was based off a bl manga where Itsuki is a ESPer who tries to win over Kyon's heart and it's all heartwarming and beautiful and Kyon gradually opens himself up to Itsuki's persistent gachihomo in the face of evil. (er. wait. isn't this what Haruhi Suzumiya is actually about...? :>)
(This does remind me though, I don't understand seriously pairing Itsuki up with anyone -- well, I mean, other than Kyon, and, okay, maybe Haruhi, I mean pairing him up with any of the girls -- because I feel like there is honestly no chemistry between him and any of them. Like, he treats Mikuru nicely, Yuki with respect, and Haruhi with a subservience that is almost manipulative -- or is actually manipulative. It just doesn't smack me of romantic intent at all. I really find Itsuki/Mikuru to be the most baffling of them all, though.)
