[HIDE]Essentially it ends with them realising they're a tv show and that parts of the show are being changed due to executive meddling.[/HIDE]
Actually I'd say Akibaranger holds that title.
Yeah, but with Akiba, that's all clearly planned. The creators are clearly criticizing the cavalier way Toei views the shows, caring about them as products first and creative works as a very distant seconds.
In particular, Jun Hikasa "left" the last official series he worked on about 2/3 of the way through as part of a move to retool it. I would imagine that experience and others like it informed the plot of Akibaranger.
Poorly planned, sure, I'll give you that. I still think Hibiki has to be the most badly meddled with series, though. Decade was already such a random (if entertaining) clusterfuck that the meddling wasn't that noticeable - with Hibiki the entire show was heavily retooled and it was incredibly blatant that new writers and producers were coming in and changing things.Even for an anniversary show, the **** is the most poorly planned, most easily meddled around show Toei has ever produced.

You... I... this doesn't even... how can you be so... I just... GAHHH! *brain explodes*Given how bad Hibiki was in the first place, I highly doubt the "meddling" could have made the show bad. If anything, the show must have gone up. I'll find out someday though, because I'll give the show another try once someone subs DVD rips (I made it up to episdoe 17 when it first aired).
