No one disagrees. Our point was that someone enjoys a parody more when they have a frame of reference of what is parodied. I mean it’s the whole point of a parody. One can enjoy OPM but if the same person had seen 500 battle shounen up to the point where they’re fed up with the same tropes, OPM is just a million times funnier than when that is just first anime.
I don’t want to shit on your favorite show here, but it’s just common sense that a parody is better if you know what is parodied.
