  1. Nestflix is awesome!

    One of my favorite fake show-within-a-show is Magical Kyouko, which takes place within the anime To Love Ru. It's a parody of the magical girl genre. The main character has pyrokinesis. She thinks that she's the local superhero, but the populace actually dreads her arrival her because she "solves" every problem by setting things on fire.
