A long time ago, I read some really funny anime capsule summaries. I believe it was "T.H.E.M. Minute Anime" but www.themanime.org has completely changed since then and the minute reviews don't seem to be there anymore. The point of those "minute anime" was to poke fun at various series by summarizing them in a ridiculously brief yet oh-so-recognizable way. For example, the Evangelion summary went something like this:
Another characteristic of those minute anime was that descriptions where peppered with capitalized words to underscore the "crucial plot points", like this Saber Marionnette J summary I found here :
So... would someone happen to have a backup/copy of those minute anime summaries lying around somewhere? Or post your own here... if you think you're funny enough

I don't have what you're asking for, but the idea for the list came from http://rinkworks.com/bookaminute/

The feature was called Reduced Anime. I'm *still* looking for where I backed that up ... we managed to recapture some of it in the Wayback Machine.
I'll see what I can find when I get home. |

I was thinking that all short anime reviews should be in haiku form.
Ex: Pita-Ten Glomping girl next door Demon roommate who likes to cook Let the sugar flow Evangelion Whiny boy with robot an ice queen and a loud b^t#h the end of the world? |

Easy...
The Wings of Honneamise In the midst of war, The spaceship on its launchpad. But will it take off? - - - Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou Quiet time passes In the small country café. Another coffee? - - - Kumo no you ni, kaze no you ni The emperor's wife Eats three meals a day and naps. Empires will all fall. Hmm. I wonder if a more complicated form might be useful... spenserian stanza? - abunai |

Damn it... I did a bunch of movie haiku last summer, but only one of them in my blog is anime. I could have sworn that I did a Kiki's Delivery Service one.

Their dad plays along. Kiki's Delivery Service Young witch in city! Life is tougher than I thought. Magic gone? It's back! |

We tried that for a while -- that was fun. Of course, this was *years* ago when our knowledge of anime wasn't nearly so good.

Good try Tenchi, but the point is not actually to summarize the anime but rather to oversimplify it to the extreme. Case in point, Akira:

Hmm. I had a look at them, and they weren't really as funny as you'd made them out to be. Well, the Evangelion one was, and so was the Utena one - but the rest were pretty dull stuff. "I think we can do better than that." - abunai |
