Eh... I'll give you that.

Although, again, "jokingly?" I'm... trying to understand what you think the show is, because it's CLEARLY very different than my understanding. Like, these are just straight references, the only joke I see is the kind of irreverent style of the show itself... I mean, the only joke I can think of involved in a reference is the first time they combine. Everything else, like the Inazuma Kick or Chou Ginga doing the Gunbuster pose, which is already a reference to Getter Robo G...

I really shouldn't take this down this track of insane mecha fan rambling. Like, I'm seriously crazy about this shit and still have crazy moments whenever I discover a series I didn't know about before. Speaking of which, I'm off to read up on Brain Powered and Layzner.
