In 2019, a rift to another dimension suddenly opens in the skies above, revealing a "turnabout" alternate world called "Shinkoku Nippon." This parallel version of Japan maintained its militarism and remains stuck in the Showa era. Shinkoku Nippon invades our Japan with its "Genmu" gas weapons and giant humanoid "Garan" weapons. The invaders immediately take over our government and all but conquer Japan. As a result, our Japan never ushers in the Reiwa era. A decade later, our Japan has been revamped as Genkoku Nippon, a puppet state of Shinkoku Nippon. Under harsh censorship, the once thriving manga, anime, idol, and similar sub-cultures have completely died off...or so it seemed.

Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo
(One episode watched):
I think this show is trying to be a parody of the mecha genre, what with the generally silly tone (like mecha that look like dogs). At one point a character remarks "Robot anime protagonists are usually dragged into the main plot by accident!", after just that happens. But the fact that I'm not quite sure indicates that it isn't doing a brilliant job of it. Maybe a decent parody has to generate more laughs than episode one of this show did before the message gets across that it is indeed trying to make fun of something. This show seemed to me more like an attempt to crank out one more generic mecha anime than an attempt to parody them. As a result, it never really caught fire with me (though I sort of like the protagonist, Hosomichi). It claims to be about dreams and stuff, but didn't seem all that sincere. The bad guys were generic and uninteresting, though I guess they were supposed to be more of a joke than seem threatening. Another all-too-common bit was the way in the midst of a battle the enemy mecha seemed to sit around twidling their thumbs while the situation is explained to Hosomichi (if this show is trying to be a parody, why wasn't any sort of joke made about that?). I used the ANN synopsis above because episode one said only that "This Japan never knew the Reiwa era", and made no mention of inter-dimensional contacts or anything like that. In short, I was not particularly impressed by anything about this show. Parody may actually be one of the most difficult forms of entertainment to pull off, not one that can be done cheaply and quickly. If you want a good parody of an anime genre (heroes), I recommend Samurai Flamenco, which I happened to be re-watching at the moment.
