Anyone seen a interesting homage/parody in anime?

Two that I can think of that weren't mentioned yet are from Magical Shopping District Abenobashi and Magical Project S (Pretty Sammy).

Abenobashi is one of Gainax's newest shows. There are SO many references to other anime, sentai shows, RPG's and other things. First of all, almost all of the character designs are from other Gainax shows. The main male character (can't remember names) looks like Taro from FuriKuri, and the main girl character is Hikari from Eva. Later on there are blatent references to DBZ and Fist of the North Star.

Near the end of Magical Project S, Pixy Misa (the evil magical girl) is seen flying through space in a big space ship. They show her behind one of those huge wooden steering wheels, and she's dressed up as Captain Harlock. Keep in mind that Magical Project S IS a parody show about magical girls. But with the Captain Harlock reference it's hard to figure out who the target audience is.

Here are a few on the Tenchi side that I think were missed.

In the Tenchi OAV series, I think Episode 4 (the bath-house episode). At the beginning the galaxy police are nearing Kagato's ship and the one guy, who is blown up in a bit, looks like Spock from Star Treck.

Tenchi has a lot of references to Space Movies in general, including both Star Treck and Star Wars (how can you not see this).

Furthermore, Tenchi refferences itself and the Demon at Rashoman story is refferenced in at least two different Universe Episodes and the first movie (there might be more, I don't remember).

Oh yeah and pretty Girl Sammi (in Universe episode), is aSailor Moon parody. The whole alternate universe mini series in Universe had many different homages.

I don't really think there are hommages unless the director says so.. it's just hard to say what somebody else is thinking.
