About

Girl’s-High Ending Parodies (Japanese: 女子高生EDパロ) refer to a series of parody video remixes for the ending credit movie in Joshikōsei Girl’s-High (女子高生 GIRL’S-HIGH), a TV anime for a Japanese manga High School Girls written by Towa Oshima.[1] This ending movie has been one of the popular subject for mimicking by hand-drawn animation in the Japanese video sharing service Nico Nico Douga (NND) since 2008.

Origin

The TV anime series for the manga aired 12 episodes between April and June of 2006. Its ending movie is mainly consisting of still-illustrations of girls cute and funny facial expressions and their unsophisticated dancing. The ending theme song “incl.” was sung by a Japanese singer Megumi Hinata, better known as her alias meg rock.[2]



Spread

This anime itself didn’t get so much popularity because the historical hit title The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya was aired in the same period. But this ending movie became to a popular subject for parody among amateur illustrators because it’s quite easy to mimic by hand-drawn animation.

Several earliest instances in this video remix series were uploaded to YouTube and NND in 2006 and 2007. These were a stop-motion animation by Gundam plastic models[3] and a hand-drawn animation featuring characters from Japanese manga/anime Big Windup!.[4] But the meme finally took off when this hand-drawn animated video featuring Japanese manga Nintama Rantarou[5] was posted to NND in June 2008 (shown below).

Since then, many videos reproducing the movie by their favorite anime/manga characters have been continually posted to NND by amateur illustrators.[6]

Various Examples

Most of videos in this series omit the dancing parts except for several highly-motivated users works.
