Nerima Daikon Brothers is about three struggling would-be musicians, Ichiro, Hideki, and Mako, who dream of becoming a famous R&B act and building a huge domed stadium where they play sold-out shows night in and night out that also carries their namesake. In the meantime, they run a daikon (radish) farm in Nerima Ward (famous for its daikon harvests) while trying to fend off creditors, their neighbors, trespassers, and Mako's unmitigated greed.The show uses a musical comedy format, with the characters often breaking out in song to show their emotions or go through a montage scene- there will often be 4 or 5 songs in the body of an episode. The melodies are sometimes recycled episode after episode with different lyrics substituted for the particular situation. The musical comedy format is rare in Japanese animation and the show's style is influenced by American musicals such as The Blues Brothers and Bollywood musicals such as Muthu. There's some Bonnie and Clyde inspiration in there as well.Despite its containing Nabeshin's trademark off-the-wall crazy Mind Screw humor and more sexual innuendo than was previously thought possible in a 12-Episode Anime, the show is at its core a rather high-level satire, mercilessly skewering a number of very real prominent people and groups in Japanese society... to the point that the production came very close to getting in trouble at least once. Let's just say that it manages to slaughter a few sacred cows that are normally never criticized, at least not in animation.The series originally aired in 2006 in Japan, and was released on DVD by ADV Films in 2007.Funimation acquired the series during ADV's 2008 collapse and streamed it on its video portal, but eventually they too lost the license note the license is now held by Aniplex USA, making it very unlikely for this show to ever see the light of day on home video in North America ever again . | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| Nerima Daikon Brothers / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: A large number of the villains are parodies of celebs or political figures from Japan. The Big Bad is an Expy of Junichiro Koizumi, the prime minister at the time the show came out. The original ADV release went into great detail on exactly who these people are meant to be. In the episode with the Michael Jackson Expy, the VidNotes started out with: "We really hope we don't have to explain who this is a parody of." | |

Failure Is the Only Option: Despite defeating the bad guy at the end of each episode, they never get to keep the money, not even what they lost during that episode to begin with! That goes double for Hideki trying to woo Mako. | |

Accent Adaptation | |
| Nerima Daikon Brothers / int_29718d62 | comment |
Accent Adaptation: Mako's Okayama dialect is given the typical switch to a southern accent in the dub. Interestingly, when she starts speaking Okayama-ben exclusively, the subtitles use a Cajun dialect to reflect this, but the dub just has her using rather dense slang, probably because Luci Christian isn't Cajun (a notoriously difficult dialect to imitate). Hideki also has a Texan accent in the dub, but doesn't really have a particular dialect in Japanese. | |

Strictly Formula | |
| Nerima Daikon Brothers / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: Every episode until the final arc follows the same basic formula: the group encounter a villain of the week who is exploiting money from people in the neighborhood, rent a new item from Nabeshin to help them resolve the situation, have a big finale musical number and fight scene, and end up losing the money they just stole from the villain in some way. However, a lot of humor is derived from tweaking and subverting the formula and the various stock songs that play every episode. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The English version ending theme which is basically saying, "Thanks For Buying the DVD of this show (since there was no way in hell it would ever get broadcast on mainstream American TV). Now we have money for booze." Sadly the joke is kind of lost when watching the episode on Funimation's website. And when buying a used copy. | |

| Nerima Daikon Brothers / int_4a8c4e5f | comment |
Hideki gets annoyed at Ichiro for treating Pandaikon as this in the first episode, insisting that a normal person would at least go "Waaa!" at seeing a panda in a daikon field. It's also parodied/enforced in Episode 4, when the Nerima Daikon Brothers deliberately ignore Yukika's Dramatic Entrance for as long as possible. | |

Punny Name | |
| Nerima Daikon Brothers / int_6d7026fa | comment |
Punny Name: Most of the villains have these. Yukika also applies. She's a detective-inspector, which is often shortened to Deka in Japanese. But Deka can also mean (among other things) machine. Because of this and the cybernetic things that occasionally come out of her, the dub opted to nickname her "Inspector Widget". It should be pretty obvious what they're referencing there. | |

Camp Gay | |
| Nerima Daikon Brothers / int_722b3319 | comment |
Camp Gay: The talent producer in the first episode is this, cranked far beyond 11. In the original Japanese, he speaks with feminine inflection – common for gay/effeminate characters – until Hideki ticks him off enough that he switches to extremely masculine rude language. Since English does not make any grammatical distinction between masculine and feminine speech, he drops his gay-lisp and starts cursing to get the effect across. | |

Henohenomoheji: Anytime a member of the Brothers is MIA and the other two have to rent from Nine Dragons without that member, said member’s place in the song is taken by a cardboard cut-out with this face. Except for a couple of times, one in which Yukika joins in and another wherein Nabeshin himself joins up (along with Yukika again) Sort of – the one time Hideki is MIA, Yukika simply takes his place. | |

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking | |
| Nerima Daikon Brothers / int_808cbaeb | comment |
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: Madame Gokutsubushi threatens to expose various famous people's scandalous activities such as a politician keeping a house for his mistress with public funds, an athlete's steroid usage, and a sumo wrestler who uses baby toys on his wife in bed at night.* This is actually a big deal because one of the requirements to be a grand master sumo wrestler is that one must carry oneself with dignity both in the ring and away from it, which using sex toys (especially ultra-kinky ones) is definitely not an example of. Essentially, he'd get stripped of his title and banned from the sport faster than a juicing Tour-de-France winner. | |

Cranky Neighbor: Hideki is constantly getting into fights with his neighbors. In their defense, Hideki has a tendency to hold his band practices in the middle of the night on an open-air stage. At one point, they literally call in the SDF (the closest thing Japan has to a military since, thanks to that little incident, they're constitutionally barred from having one) to bomb the daikon field. Hideki himself counts, given his reactions to his neighbors' complaints. In his defense, on at least one occasion they started screaming at him before he even started practice. | |

Shout-Out: Hoo boy. Where to start? The gang's clothes and preferred style of music is reminiscent of The Blues Brothers. At one point, Hideki references a song sung by his (Japanese) voice actor back in the 70's. In one of the episodes, the villain is an Expy of Michael Jackson, so you can bet there's plenty of shout-out-related fun to be had, especially in the dub. Luckily for them, MJ was still alive at the time so there was no need to hold back. In episode 12 during the final battle Yukika transforms into a mecha that looks a lot like the SDF 1, and shouts out "Do You Remember?" as she launches a volley of missiles | |

Freudian Excuse: Parodied in Episode 7, where we get to see a flashback of the bad guy du jour (a crooked lawyer), and how when he was a child a girl he creeped on would constantly threaten to sue him for it. It's completely ridiculous, but he and the main characters treat it as thought it were an honest-to-goodness Dark and Troubled Past. | |

Magic Skirt | |
| Nerima Daikon Brothers / int_c978ad0b | comment |
Magic Skirt: Lampshaded in one episode with an upside-down Mako, Hideki watching for her skirt to fall, and Ichiro explaining that the artist doesn't feel like drawing it. The real reason for this is because series aired on TV Tokyo and they don't allow panty shots (for the most part). Their censorship standards have been kinda strict since 1997. Worth noting Nabeshin himself is not a fan either; he considers it cheap and lazy (though he otherwise doesn't shy away from fanservice). When directing Excel♡Saga back in 1999, he sent a note to the animation directors specifying, "No Panty Shots!" | |

Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Hideki gets annoyed at Ichiro for treating Pandaikon as this in the first episode, insisting that a normal person would at least go "Waaa!" at seeing a panda in a daikon field. It's also parodied/enforced in Episode 4, when the Nerima Daikon Brothers deliberately ignore Yukika's Dramatic Entrance for as long as possible. However, there are plenty of straight examples too. For example, nobody seems to think anything of Madame Gokutsubushi's green skin, or the fact that the recording studio the band visits in the first episode seems to be filled entirely with alien creatures. | |

Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick: Yukika's image song, where she sings general life advice you'd expect to hear from a cop, has her randomly segue into advising viewers not to drink before they sleep so they won't wet the bed, using herself as an example. note The Japanese and English dubs differ on timeframe – in the original, she says she wet the bed until 8th grade; in the English she says she wet the bed when she was in 8th grade. | |

The Idiot from Osaka: Mako is from Okayama, which is a fair ways west of Osaka and Kyoto, but still considered part of Kansai. | |

Shown Their Work: Nerima ward in Tokyo is (or was) famous for its daikon radish fields. Episode 8, the one with the corrupt attorney, goes into some detail on Japanese marriage law – first cousins can marry in Japan, but Mako says they can't and Hideki believes her. The final episode is one giant reference to Prime Minister Koizumi's eventually successful attempt to privatize parts of Japan's Postal Service which, despite its name, does a lot more than just delivering packages – it also dabbles in small-scale banking and insurance. | |
