On 16 Mar 2006, "Lee Ratner" <LBRatner@xxxxxxxxx> asked:
We all know that anime is filled with many references to
Japanese culture, Most of these references are fairly mainstream but
some could get rather obscure. Are there any references in anime that
are so obscure they fly over the heads of most Japanese? [...]
According to the "ADV Vid-Notes" that annotate the ADV DVDs of "Excel
Saga" and "Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi" -- two shows whose
raison d'etre is to be *catalogs* of references -- yes.
Not just manga, anime, Osaka-style comedy, and US SF refs -- there are
a few specifically labeled "This is obscure, even for most Japanese."
I don't recall what those were, unfortunately for this thread.
