The 8th episode of anime "gdgd Fairies" season 2 that was aired last night in Japan has a parody scene of Daigo Umehara's famous comeback from Evolution 2004.
During the race between 3 protagonists in a Mario Kart-like racing game, Shirushiru tries to stop Korokoro by throwing her to a Street Fighter III-like mini game. To make it hard to win, Korokoro is forced to start in the last round with a few pixels of life. However, she is able to parry all of the hits of Chan-Li's super move, and makes a big comeback. Shirushiru then shouts in surprise "Are you Umehara?!"
Everything including the way Korokoro dashes, the way Chan-Li builds meter using normals, the super moves, were very well-animated just like the original.
gdgd Fairries (pronounced Gudaguda Fairies) is a sitcom-styled anime created entirely using CG animation. It is being aired on 2 TV stations in Japan, on Niconico, and on Crunchyroll (English).
This's not the first parody of Umehara's famous comeback, the scene was reproduced in anime Acchi Kocchi last year.
