Koshi Rikdo didn't write himself into his manga, that was something done later for the anime, Nabeshin too.

Though I am pretty sure that Rikdo did intent to make a totally zany manga full of parodies :wink:

As for the meaning of Excel Saga....clearly it's to conquer the prefecture of F, to put Ilpallazo one step closer to world domination!!!!11!

Excel saga isn't really supposed to make sense, but, if you grasp that fact quickly, it becomes an extremely enjoyable anime anyway. I enjoyed the zaniness until it started to get a reasonable plot in episode 24-ish. :)

Yeah. But then the final episode kicked things back into high gear. BOO-YEAH!

Yes, 26 was the absolute most pointless, raunchy, and zany episode of the series.

In other words, I LOVED IT! :twisted:
