Anime within an anime?
Arnold Kim
things I enjoyed about that was the metafictional anime, Gekiganger III and
the ways it parodied the cliches of 70s super robot shows.
What other examples are there of metafictional anime like this?

Genshiken - with the internal anime Kujibiki Unbalance - comes to mind.

Kujibiki Unbalance in Genshiken, of course (though it later was made one).
Just about every comedy show I can think of has one or refers to one,
usually an existing anime under a 'disguised' name.
Not just animes that appear inside animes either. In AMG, Skuld and Urd
have frequent fights over the television, who gets to watch what when -
Skuld likes animes and some other things, Urd wants her dramas (a thinly
disguised 'Winter Sonata' being the main one).
In Ai Yori Aoshi, video games serve the same purpose. Tina Foster, indeed,
is particularly fond of a series of them with a space wolf chara.

"CHROME SHELLED REGIOS" （「鋼殻のレギオス」） has a mini-anime series
(in English within the Japanese meta-anime) that is introduced in a
portion in each episode. In one episode, a scene from the
anime-in-the-anime is shown by a member of the Masked Wolf troops to
Nina Antalk. Nina asks what the scene is about, and the member of the
Masked Wolf troops explains that it is a scene from the future.
I never figured out the relevance of the anime-in-the-anime to the
meta-anime. Since the former was in the English language and shown in
only short segments within the Japanese-language meta-anime which was
shown to a Japanese audience, I eventually assumed that the
anime-in-the-anime was a ploy to convince casual viewers that the
meta-anime was partly worth watching for the added value of being able
to practice listening to English. (I'm not sure whether the
anime-in-the-anime was good English listening practice to Nine Antalk,
however; IIRC, she never spoke English within the Japanese-language
series. A proof of the value of anime-in-the-anime in a non-Japanese
language to the foreign language listening skills of characters in the
Japanese-language meta-anime is left as an exercise. ;-) )

Sorry; I just discovered (see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Chrome_Shelled_Regios_characters)
that the anime-in-the-anime is actually the "Legend of Regios," and it
in fact takes place in the past, not the future.
Apparently, the connection to the meta-anime has to do with the
Heavenly Blades and the right eye of Ailen, which is said to belong to
Leerin Marfes as Leerin's right eye. Saya, a character from the
"Legend of Regios," is responsible for the Heavenly Blades and decides
who will wield them. Further, Saya is a partner of Ailen, with whom
she wishes to be united. Saya appears in a reflection of Leerin's
eyes, and is fond of Leerin because Leerin's right eye, which is
called "Vine Eye," is actually Ailen's right eye.

Oh, and there's a quick (couple of seconds) shot of "Love Hina" on a TV
in one episode of "Mao-chan". No big surprise, considering Ken Akamatsu
was responsible for both titles.

Yeah, that was awesome. They also made one of the best recap episodes
I've ever seen, switching the roles of Gekigangar and Nadesico.

In Fight Ippatsu! Juden-chan, Plug is regularly seen watching and
enjoying the anime Ai no Senshi Sweetie Millie, a Magical Girl show in
which the lead character ends up in various compromising positions,
sometimes with tentacles, sometimes increasing Juden-chan's urinary

Something's been nagging at the back of my mind all day, and just got it

Paranoia Agent dealt with the making of anime, but I can't recall
if they showed any of the anime.

I thought those were supposed to represent live-action Adult Videos. Well,
it's not like you see anything more than DVD labels in it.

Just as I read this "Kujibiki Unbalance" from Yoko Ishida's Hyper
Yocomix 2 started playing. An omen, perhaps?

You forgot that the Gekigengar crew watch Martian Successor Nadesico,
even if it was just a gimmick for a clip-show...
The only one I know of not addressed in this thread so far is Detective
Kun-Kun from Rozen Maiden Traumend (not doing those umlauts, can't make
me) which got spun off as a special which could be found on one of the
Rozen Maiden games for the PS2 if not elsewhere as well.

The 2006 voice actress shows REC and Love Get Chu naturally have internal
anime, the latter an ice skating show from the year before.

I just skimmed over the Gekiganger Movie with Gekiganger_5 (1998 I think,
subbed in 2001). I keep forgetting how bad this is, even if Xebec did get
the old animators to do it. It's not just Voltron and the like, but I'm
seeing more similarities in the drawing style to Macross that I hadn't
noticed before.
Nadesico itself I love. Great science fiction and best of all, the
Gekiganger March.

Either way, it was enough to knock the series from a B+ to a B- in my
book... almost a full letter grade.

One more, in Midori no Hibi (a.k.a. Midori Days), Shuichi Takamizawa is
obsessed with Ultra-Marin, an anime girl, but I don't remember if the
show she's from is mentioned or not.
Welcome to the NHK's protagonist also has several figurines of anime
girls. I haven't watched it, but I do remember when NewType USA
covered it enough to show some of the figures up close.

Coming late to this thread, but I just started watching this:
In 'Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu' there's the anime 'Clumsy Girl Aki-chan'.
See a bit of it early in episode one, and later on some of the characters
talk about it, read fan magazines about it, and visit web sites about it.
Don't know how big a role it plays in the rest of the series.
