Parody anime have a strong tendency to not only mock their base material but also celebrate them with an organic sincerity. While those tendencies are to mock, that doesn’t mean the product itself can’t be good at what it’s satirizing, sometimes to an improved degree.
Usually, these Satire anime are comedies that use irony, humor, and exaggerations to criticize or mock culture, politics, or other topical issues. Here we are listing down the top 10 most discussed and accepted satire parody anime of all time.
