A recent anime called “Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko” is absolutely filled with references to stuff, and in the past there’ve even been a couple MOTHER references (see here and here). Apparently episode 11 has some more references, this time we see a “FATHER 2″ cartridge and Mr. Pluto in a Super Mario Kart-lookalike: Thanks to Lollita Ares for the tip! ...Read More »

Some time back I posted about how stuff from MOTHER 1 was referenced in a new anime show (see here). Apparently, in a more recent episode, there’s another slight homage to Mr. Saturns. Here’s a screenshot: I haven’t seen this show, so I don’t know if it was mentioned in just this one scene or if it makes other appearances. It sounds like this show is absolutely filled with...Read More »

There’s an anime called “Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko” which is full of pop culture stuff, and in the very first episode there are MOTHER references. Jump straight to 1:25, 3:33, and 4:00 to see them: If you can’t tell what the references are, here’s the intro text to MOTHER 1/EarthBound Zero: Pretty neat, it seems like more and more of these anime shows are referenc...Read More »

In the last year or so we’ve started to see some EarthBound / MOTHER 2 references in more and more anime, and now we have another one! I’ll let Jeagle explain this one: The show is “My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute”, an anime with a protagonist who has a sort of obsession with games revolving around sisters. Dozens of other references to other games/anime with the ...Read More »

A few months ago we looked at a pretty big EarthBound reference in an anime show (see here), complete with a truly bizarre Mr. Saturn character. Then Kelsey sent this in yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s a Mr. Saturn-inspired thing or not, but I thought I’d pass it on anyway: In the new season of the aime K-on!! I have noticed little Mr. Saturn like key-chains. I noticed it in the ...Read More »

I’m usually pretty slow when it comes to keeping up with stuff like this, I don’t even know what to call them! But here’s a cool MOTHER 3 video set to a vocaloid singing “Romeo and Cinderella”. If someone more well-versed in this stuff could help explain it, that would be swell ...Read More »

In the Japanese anime series “Natsu no Arashi”, there’s a pretty big EarthBound cameo that includes Ness, Jeff, possibly King, and a well-endowed Starman. You can check it out here, see around the 1:25-ish mark. EarthBound cameos in TV shows seem to be really rare, in fact the cameo in Shin-chan is the only other one I can think of off the top of my head. So a cameo this big is ...Read More »

For a good while now, a fad among Japanese gaming fans has been to take well-known anime intros and then remake them, replacing characters and places with characters and places from games they like. There are so many of these that it’s crazy, and the EarthBound/MOTHER games have had many anime-izations done too. Here is one based on an intro for Shaman King. It’s pretty kickass, and ev...Read More »
