 | | One of the most self-aware and self-referential anime ever, Excel Saga is a treat for viewers who like silliness, parodies, slapstick comedy, Martian princesses chronically about to die, afroed action heroes who can shoot little people out of their afroes, prisoners in iron masks, jungle trains, annoying roommates, humping bunnies, and futon beaters. |
 | | The main character Excel dies frequently, but can't die permanently because that would end the show, and spends all her time starving. |
 | | The plot of the show, loosely speaking, is basically Excel's attempts to conquer the city of F in the name of Il Palazzo and his organization ACROSS (membership: 3), whose directives are never entirely useful, such as killing off all manga artists. |
