I recently came across an anime called Big-T!me Ollyfont. It's about a time travelling skateboarder and his greasy, middle-aged uncle who can write things into existence. Lots of wordplay and puns about lettering that aren't just endless streams of half-comprehensible Japanabullshit. The real draw for me was that they fight Kaiju monsters, a lot of which are parodies or out-and-out cameos of creatures or stuff from western culture.
The whole series is 30 episodes long, with about 26 Kaiju battles throughout. Highly recommended since it's legitimately funny for people who aren't fucking anime nerds and the Kaiju battles have some of the most efficient use of music, animation and aesthetic that I can think of. They're seriously fucking incredible.
