Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEpisode 26, "Going Too Far", was intentionally designed to be too controversial to be shown on TV. Among other things, the episode features nudity in the opening credits and Hyatt spewing ridiculous amounts of blood (instead of just bleeding like in other episodes). The episode is included on the final volumes of both the Japanese Excel Saga DVDs and the region 1 DVDs released by ADV.
- Crazy creditsAs the credits play, Menchi the dog walks up to a microphone and begins singing a sad tune in dog speak. A woman in the lower right-hand corner provides translations. The song is about Menchi, who is about to be cooked as a meal. Occasionally, a hand (presumably Excel's) drops down from the top of the screen to sprinkle salt on Menchi. As the curtains close in the end, the hand picks up Menchi and wisks him off.

Featured review
THE Anime to riff all of the T.A.T shows!
And what I mean by T.A.T is Typical Anime Trash (you know, the repetitive clichéd crap), and Excel Saga pounds all of those titles in to the ground. And probably the best parody/satire show I have seen, even better than IMO South Park (Which SP can be good at times, a lot of times can be annoying too).
Excel works for Illpalazzo of Across, an organization based on taking over the world. She may be a loser, but at least she "tries" to do her job. And with her new partner from outer space, the constantly vomiting and coughing Hyatt, she ain't giving up. Meanwhile 3 roommates get a job with a secretive government agency, a Brazilian construction worker is forced to be the love slave to the embodiment of the universe, which is (yes, it is true!) a vortex with slender womanly arms(!) and a man with an afro gets into so much trouble for reasons unknown. And I just only scratched the surface of the series.
The only downside of this series is that it ended in 2000. But luckily, there still is the Manga that is still being published to this day, I think.
But if you are tired of the Typical Anime Trash shows, Excel Saga is one to check out. The parodies and satires in the show are PRICELESS!
