Anime Opening and Ending parodies, often referred to as MADs in Japan, involve fans painstakingly recreating famous anime sequences using characters from different series, video games, or live-action media. These parodies gained massive popularity on platforms like Nico Nico Douga and YouTube, where iconic themes like Evangelion’s 'A Cruel Angel's Thesis' or Naruto’s 'Silhouette' are reimagined with comedic or surreal visuals. The humor typically stems from the juxtaposition of the high-energy, dramatic music with mismatched or absurd characters. These memes serve as a tribute to the original animation while showcasing the community's editing skills and creativity, often becoming viral hits within specific fandom circles.
