Ok, as always, i'm going to talk about cowboy bebop. You might not of noticed, but on every title, it is music related. Examples: cowboy FUNK, juptior JASS, there all music related. Just watch the special stuff on the movie!
Do you know any intresting facts like this one or even better?

Well on the funny title line, Galaxy Angel titles are all food related.

Here some sorta secret.
Abenobashi does two monty python (british famous for his comedies) parodies. One of a lumberjack routine, and another for a resturant skit.

(It took me forever to figure that out...)

Some of the Cowboy Bebop titles are Rolling Stones songs. For example Sympathy for the Devil and Wild Horses

Bohemian Rhapsody is a Queen song.

Real Folk Blues is an Album name for Muddy Waters.

i knew of the CB titles, anyone notice that Goku's Kamehameha is named after a fat Hawaiin king, thats why Cartman says "big fat Kamehameha biatch"

Frieza's gang is all named after foods you keep in a freezer.

(Almost positive on this) Evangelion's fictional city takes place on the same spot as Love Hina's fictional city (Tokyo 3 = Hakone, Hinata = Hakone).

yes, he was a hiwaiian king, but he was famous for being the first to unite the islands.

And back on topic, to matticans, they are both in episode 12, if you don't notice them I think they are mentioned in ADV notes (assuming you have the DVDs...) actually there are millions of parodies in Abenobashi including one that's even obsure in Japan (episode 11)

thanks

. and i guess i will have to check out those adv notes. i am guessing they are gonna be like the ones in Excel Saga and FLCL since. All three are such crazy animes and excel had soooo many parodies.
