Abenobashi - "The Alkazar"

[Antonio E. Gonzalez]

I already loved the scene in ep. 12 of Abenobashi Magical Shopping
Arcade where Grandpa Masa breaks into The Lumberjack Song, now I find
out there's even more depth to it!

It seems the Seiyu who played Grandpa Masa was also the voice of
Michael Palin in the Japanese dub of Monty Python. That's right, he'd
already dubbed *the original* Lumberjack Song! TV Tropes calls this
"The Alkazar," after the episode of Futurama where Leela, voiced by
Katey Segal, effectively becomes Peg Bundy, the live action role she's
most famous for.

Interestingly not mentioned in the anime category . . .:

- Excel Excel, voiced by Mitsuishi Kotono, doing a word-for-word,
move-for-move recreation of Sailor Moon's "Punish You" line in ep. 17
("Otaku USA") of Excel Saga.

- The "Brothers" exchange in Oh Edo Rocket.
