A thread about posting and discussing Anime Sound/MADs.
Feel free to share what you like about a particular Anime MAD or the Anime it's about, also, if you have any referenced parts that might seem mysterious to you use the provided tags/comments on a video to find more about it, or feel free to ask here.
Q. How do I search for Anime MADs on Nico Nico Douga?
A. Refer to the video posted in this thread: >>>/b/1833
Also particularly regarding Anime MADs, many studios have the ability to take down any video containing even a small clip of their anime on Nico Nico Douga, but many of them choose not to do so because they recognize that Anime MADs, from an analytical standpoint, have actually helped them achieve many more sales than they could have otherwise which was especially relevant back then. Of course, there are a few instances like the Anime Rurouni Kenshin (KYM) where Fuji TV will seize any opportunity to remove any type of video featuring their anime, even if it's just a small clip. So, the workaround for that was to collaborate and completely re-animate parts of the series that were frequently used in MAD videos, so Fuji TV couldn't claim it as their property.
Please try to refrain from posting anything created by overseas individuals and any YTPMV Cover-styled MADs; you can usually identify those using tags like 「原曲不使用」 (Original Song Not Used: that recreate the entire BGM with a bunch of fake instrumentally sounding samples).
You do not need to translate a MAD in order to post it here, although I bet it would be greatly appreciated by anyone browsing the thread, and often you can find the lyrics online. If you do decide to do it, here are a few tools you could probably use:
Subtitle Software: https://github.com/Ristellise/AegisubDC or https://github.com/arch1t3cht/Aegisub
Translation: Deepl.com, Rikai-kun(Chrome Extension)/Rikai-tan(Firefox Extension) and ChatGPT.
OCR Software: https://github.com/kha-white/manga-ocr (pip install and then run with powershell or cmd using a command like "./manga_ocr" in conjunction with the capture function found in something like ShareX: https://getsharex.com/)
I spent some time picking out these for the thread:

About that Anime that the Lucky Star video is parodying it is completely unknown to foreigners. It's basically about some alien angel that came to earth to help a unlucky boy who then creates more accidents, and I'm unsure if you can even find any subtitles for the episodes anywhere. The opening song as you might have noticed is hinting at something dirty, and believe it or not it was aired at 6 PM slot on Sunday when kids were watching the show: https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/16297.html
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the entire song revolves around the chorus.
Clearly singing about a certain body part, right?
The most important issue is that "Hanasaka Tenshi Tenten-kun" aired on Saturday evenings at 6 o'clock.
As Shonen Jump has many child readers, Shueisha probably took that into account and scheduled the broadcast for the evening. However, the lyrics clearly pick a fight with the PTA.
Originally, this dirty joke-filled song...
originated when Tenten-kun, amidst classmates worrying about the other protagonist Hideyuki, suggested, "Let's sing together to cheer ourselves up."
His classmates immediately retorted, "Can we sing lyrics like these?" which left many readers bursting into laughter. It was a scene that no one would have imagined a few months later becoming the theme song of the anime adaptation.
During the broadcast, the Bla Bla Bla Boozes, who were performing the theme song on a variety show that handled Fuji TV anime, appeared in bizarre attire. (Even Shonen Jump's magazine commented, "Who are these guys?")
When the program's host, Koji Imada, asked, "You were clearly saying 'that,' right?" regarding the lyrics:
"I'm just talking about being stiff," was the reply.
During the chorus, even the female backup singers seem to take a step back from the microphone.
No matter how ambiguously expressed, it sounds nothing but obscene...
Moreover, this program aired during prime time.

Edit
The ebichu videos sometimes carried the 運営のお気に入り (Favorites of the Management) tag, implying that despite clearly violating the rules, they were never taken down by Nico Nico’s staff. This comes from the idea that "they aren’t deleted because they’re favorites of the management," especially in the context of copyright violations and prohibited lewd content.
I've included the original clip for context. Also I'm pretty sure you could watch the entire show on youtube which included entire explanations at the start of the video for each joke made throughout the episode: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcUL2nawj67ImGBOzjqtsPzDYKG818rQ1 [Play] (some of them were sadly removed)

I might translate a few more of these since I really love Ichigo Mashimaro. I must have re-watched it about every year ever since I found about it.
Also I can't believe I managed to actually get the 「質実剛健笹塚盛大諸行無常立てろ」joke translated since I couldn't really tell what he was saying there and so I had to look through every single episode where the teacher appeared and piece the words together one by one.

If you're wondering what the "no seat for you" line is about, it's a famous line from the final episode of a Japanese drama called "Life" where a former bully in the last episode is facing their own downfall and is told this line in a moment of role reversal. You can read about it here, but I'm unsure if the series is even available in English sub: https://dic.pixiv.net/a/おめーの席ねぇから%21 https://dic.nicovideo.jp/a/おめーの席ねぇから%21 https://youtu.be/Q76SCriE-Vs [Play]
