Immanuel Kant
That's a funny way to spell Gustav Klimt. It's probably best to tag both anyway, it's a given that the original source of the parody was the Elfen Lied OP, not The Kiss directly. I think I've tagged it correctly with style_parody, but I'm not sure if there's a way to designate the 'parent' artist.

Holy shit, dude... I can't believe I actually wrote that. Guess I'm going to return that Art final exam certificate.

Is there something in the picture that indicates this? It looks like a straight-up parody of Klimt's painting to me, but then again I've never watched Elfen Lied.
Not really convinced by the reasoning here... even if the author was inspired by Elfen Lied, the parody is still of Klimt and not of Elfen Lied. :/ Unless you can point out something that does appear both in this and the Elfen Lied version but does not exist in the original painting. ...Anyways, removed the EL tag for now.
