History NinjaPirateZombieRobot / Anime

* ''Anime/GunXSword'' is a SpaceWestern about a [[BadassLongcoat Tuxedo Wearing]] [[HealingFactor auto-healing]] Badass who goes around in search for vengeance kicking ass, [[ImplausibleFencingPowers stopping bullets with his sword]] and piloting an [[EmpathicWeapon empathic]] HumongousMecha competing against a samurai.

* ''Anime/{{Blassreiter}}'' presents [[NanoMachines nanobot]]-[[TheVirus infested]] ShapeShifting MadeOfIron BadassBiker cyborg saint [[ImplausibleFencingPowers swinging]] [[ShapeshifterWeapon the blade he grows]]. While riding ShapeShifting jet CoolBike with [[SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence AI]] who talks via FairySexy [[ProjectedMan projected girl]]. There are other... ''interesting'' characters where these two came from. Even the {{mooks}} are [[ViralTransformation transformed]] by [[NanoMachines nanobots]] BrainwashedAndCrazy ZombieInfectee, sometimes even ''corpses'' reanimated by nanomachines, making them ''cyborg zombies'' MadeOfIron. And there's MiniMecha built by the AncientConspiracy. ItMakesSenseInContext.

** Don't forget that the team that defeated her included a [[WingedHumanoid winged]], [[HalfHumanHybrid half]]-{{tengu}} [[HeroicAlbino albino]] [[{{Youkai}} demon]], ([[{{BFS}} BF]])[[ImplausibleFencingPowers Sword-wielding]] {{Samurai}} [[DemonSlaying demon-slayer]] ([[HunterOfHisOwnKind think about that]]) [[{{Onmyodo}} Onmyouji]], [[SchoolgirlLesbians lesbian]] with a BodyGuardCrush in [[CatGirl cat ears]] and [[{{Meido}} maid]] [[{{Cosplay}} clothes]] who [[ReverseShrapnel can shoot swords]].

** Did we mention [[spoiler: Vivio Takamachi]] the [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses royal]] [[OlderAlterEgo age-shifting]] [[HumanAlien alien]] [[LesYay les]][[PuppyLove bian]] [[MagicalGirl mage]]/[[KungFuWizard martial artist]] with [[HasTwoMommies two mothers]] who was [[CloneJesus cloned from]] [[CrystalDragonJesus from the focal point of a religion]]?

** Did we mention [[spoiler: Vivio Takamachi]] the [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses royal]] [[OlderAlterEgo age-shifting]] [[HumanAlien alien]] [[LesYay les]][[PuppyLove bian]] [[MagicalGirl mage]]/[[LittleMissBadass martial artist]] who was [[CloningBlues cloned]] [[CloneJesus from the focal point of a religion]]?

* ''LightNovel/KoreWaZombieDesuKa'' is about an ordinary high school boy who gets murdered and becomes a [[WholesomeCrossdresser cross-dressing]] [[MagicalGirl magical]] [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie]]. With a pink chainsaw.

* ''StrikeWitches''. Repeat with me: Mecha Fighter pilot [[MagicalGirl Magical]] CatGirl Lolis in PoweredArmor. None of them wears skirts or pants. One of the leads also has a weakspot-revealing [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] and [[KatanasAreJustBetter wields a katana]]. You just can't get any more awesome than that!

* Tooru, the main character of ''Manga/KobayashiSanChiNoMaidDragon'', is a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]], [[LesYay lesbian]], [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons dragon]], [[{{Meido}} maid]].
** Kanna is a [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]], [[LesYay lesbian]], [[InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons dragon]], {{goth}}, [[PuppyLove loli]].

** [[spoiler: And seeing as how Witches are basically {{Eldritch Abomination}}s, this results in MagicalGirl [[OurLichesAreDifferent Lich]] [[WitchSpecies Witch]] [[EldritchAbomination Abominations]]]]! And one of them [[spoiler:is a [[TimeStandsStill time-stopping]] {{Time Travel}}er with a HyperspaceArsenal [[MoreDakka big enough to wage a one-girl war]]]], and another (the title character) eventually [[spoiler:takes the Witch and Abomination out of the equation and becomes a MagicalGirl [[OurLichesAreDifferent Lich]] [[OurGodsAreGreater Goddess]] and [[AbstractApotheosis the Personification of Hope]] for her universe]]!

* ''Anime/MaiHime''. It revolves around HighSchool-aged {{Magical Girl}}s (one of whom [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair has blue hair]] and [[BadassBiker rides a motorcycle]]) who can [[SummonMagic summon]] {{mons}}ters and [[HyperspaceArsenal generate weapons out of thin air]] for battling DemonicInvaders, infiltrating and destroying a KillSat, and eventually [[spoiler:[[ThereCanBeOnlyOne fighting each other to the "death"]].]] [[YesButWhatDoesZataproximetacineDO May also contain]] {{Robot Girl}}s, [[spoiler:crossdressing]] {{Ninja}}s, [[AncientConspiracy Ancient Conspiracies]], and a [[WeirdMoon constant full moon that's visible even in full sunlight]].

* One of ''Anime/KillLaKill'''s major characters is Senketsu, a sentient, [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampiric]] SailorFuku who can transform into incredibly {{Stripperific}} PowerArmor.

* The protagonist of ''{{Vassalord}}'' is a devoutly Christian cyborg vampire who works for the Vatican. And he wears glasses.
* {{Claymore}} is apparently all about a {{BFS}} wielding silver eyed [[HeroicAlbino albino]] [[ActionGirl warrioress]] with at least two BadassTransplant and a switchable SuperpoweredEvilSide seeking [[ItsPersonal revenge]] against an [[VillainSue all powerful]] OneWingedAngel able to shapeshift into a CuteMute.

* There's a character in the second season of ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' who's a [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] PsychoLesbian [[InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja ninja]] with a [[WoodenKatanasAreEvenBetter wooden]] [[LaserBlade laser]] [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]].

** There are also [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] [[InstantAwesomeJustAddNinja Ninjas]].

* ''OutlawStar'' has Magic Ninja Space Pirate Ship Robots.

** The ''Anime/NightmareOfNunnally'' spinoff also features Zombie Knights piloting Zombie Mechas. Who fight by ''jumping out of they mechas onto enemies'''.

* ''StrikeWitches''. Repeat with me: Mecha Fighter pilot [[MagicalGirl Magical]] CatGirl Lolis in PoweredArmor. None of them wears skirts or pants. One of the leads also has a [[ForMassiveDamage weakspot-revealing]] [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]] and [[KatanasAreJustBetter wields a katana]]. You just can't get any more awesome than that!

** The ''NightmareOfNunnally'' spinoff also features Zombie Knights piloting Zombie Mechas. Who fight by ''jumping out of they mechas onto enemies'''.

* ''{{Biomega}}'', or to be more specific, Kozlov Grebnev. I mean, cyberpunk and zombies are cool, cyberpunk zombies are even cooler but a Russian talking bear with a sniper rifle is in a league of his own.

* In episode 6 of ''Manga/GochuumonWaUsagiDesuKa'' when Cocoa learnt about Aoyama, she thought about being "the neighbourhood international barista lawyer who bake pastries while pursuing the path of a novelist." Doubles as a ContinuityNod; she imagined all except the novelist point in episode 3.

* RideBack: Ballerina terrorist [[LaResistance fighting]] [[OneWorldOrder totalitarian world order]] [[CoolCar on a motorbike]] ''[[TransformingMecha that can transform into a bipedal mech]]'', [[IJustWantToBeNormal while proclaiming to be pacifist.]] [[{{Wangst}} And wangsting.]]

* As of ''[[Manga/AxisPowersHetalia Paint it White]]'' England is officially a secret agent/wizard/pirate/ninja
* ''GhostInTheShell'' brings us the Major: a ninja cyborg bisexual police-officer assassin hacker VR porn star.

* ''Anime/{{Macross Frontier}}'' has a character that's an Afro'd HotBlooded HoYay ''Male'' BridgeBunny, the TokenMiniMoe [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Blue-Haired]] GenkiGirl who can become the [[OneeSama Big Sister]] AmazonianBeauty (just add water) and the {{Bifauxnen}} JerkWithAHeartofGold just to name a few; it's like the series '''tried''' to put together all of the most incompatible tropes just to see how it would turn out.
** [[spoiler: It turned out ''[[CrowningMomentofAwesome Awe]]''-[[CrowningMusicofAwesome some]]]]

* ''Anime/{{Mai-HiME}}''. It revolves around HighSchool-aged {{Magical Girl}}s (one of whom [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair has blue hair]] and [[BadassBiker rides a motorcycle]]) who can [[SummonMagic summon]] {{mons}}ters and [[HyperspaceArsenal generate weapons out of thin air]] for battling DemonicInvaders, infiltrating and destroying a KillSat, and eventually [[spoiler:[[ThereCanBeOnlyOne fighting each other to the "death"]].]] [[YesButWhatDoesZataproximetacineDO May also contain]] {{Robot Girl}}s, [[spoiler:crossdressing]] {{Ninja}}s, [[AncientConspiracy Ancient Conspiracies]], and a [[WeirdMoon constant full moon that's visible even in full sunlight]].
* What can we say about ''TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' that hasn't already been said elsewhere on this very wiki?

* ''{{Hellsing}}'' and its Nazi vampires. ''Synthetic'' Nazi vampires, people!

**** [[MadeOfWin Until someone opens Schrödinger's pants, Schrödinger is simultaneously in a state of both being a boy, and not being a boy.]]

* ''SoulEater'' has a blue zombie ninja teaching in the [[ExtranormalInstitute school]] sponsored by the GrimReaper. His weapon partner is a brown-skinned mummy nurse!

* The original Anime/{{Mobile Suit Gundam}} has some instances of this also, most obviously in episode 37 (or 36 for English-speakers), "The Duel at Texas." Samurai vs. Knight in the Wild West [[RecycledINSPACE IN SPACE]]!!

* ''SamuraiChamploo'' combines [[AnachronismStew samurai with hip-hop]], and has ninjas, pirates, and zombies, but it really outdoes itself with episode 23, which centers around a game of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ninja baseball]].

* [[VinlandSaga Thorfinn]] has been described by more than one reader as an emo viking ninja. Now he's an emo viking ninja LUMBERJACK.
* ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' delights in taking the normal MagicalGirl template and checking how many seemingly unrelated stuff they can combine it with. For example, Vita is a ReallySevenHundredYearsOld [[ElegantGothicLolita Elegant Gothic]] LittleMissBadass [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots sentient program]] that wields a [[DropTheHammer mechanical hammer]] [[SwissArmyWeapon that can become]] rocket-powered, [[ThisIsADrill sport a drill]], or grow to the size of a large building for HumongousMecha smashing.

* The reason why the Jeremiah/Sayoko pairing in Anime/CodeGeass is so popular. He's a cyborg and she's a NinjaMaid.

** The {{Nightmare Of Nunnally}} spinoff also features Zombie Knights piloting Zombie Mechas. Who fight by ''jumping out of they mechas onto enemies'''.

* NininGaShinobuden has a crocodile Ninja.
* From Manga/OnePiece, we have Franky (a [[TransformingMecha transforming]] [[HollywoodCyborg cyborg]] pirate shipwright [[ItRunsOnNonsensoleum powered by cola]]) and Brook (a [[FunnyAfro afro-wearing]] [[DirtyOldMan perverted]] [[DemBones skeleton]] pirate [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome musician]] who can [[WalkOnWater run across water]]), the two latest additions to the main cast. If anything, it will probably get more random from there.

* Creator/{{CLAMP}} went overboard with ''TsubasaReservoirChronicle''. The main group of TrueCompanions comprises a half-Chinese KidHero that knows kung-fu and magic and [[spoiler:has an [[EvilTwin evil clone]]]], a (cursed) {{ninja}} [[spoiler: with a [[ArtificialLimbs cybernetic arm]]]], a ([[DarkAndTroubledPast cursed]]) [[{{Bishonen}} pretty]] [[spoiler: vampire]] wizard with an [[EyepatchOfPower eyepatch]], a ([[MysteriousWaif cursed]]) magical [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses princess]], and a [[HeadPet cute]] [[TeamPet cuddly mascot]] with immense magical powers. In case this wasn't enough, it also features witches, [[GambitPileup ridiculously convoluted magical conspiracies]], [[ArtificialHuman loads of clones]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent dimension-travelling vampire twins]], dimension-travelling bounty-hunter brothers, more clones, and the [[BigBad bad guy]] is so evil he actually wears a monocle.

* SetoNoHanayome has Mermaid Yakuza, one of whom is also [[CaptainErsatz The Terminator]].

** The Nakajima sisters; Subaru and Ginga are [[RollerbladeGood rollerblading]] [[FullContactMagic combat mages]] [[spoiler:and are [[HollywoodCyborg cyborgs]].]]

** The Nakajima sisters; Subaru and Ginga are [[spoiler: cyborg mages]].

* ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'' delights in taking the normal MagicalGirl template and checking how many seemingly unrelated stuff they can combine it with. For example, one MagicalGirl is a ReallySevenHundredYearsOld [[ElegantGothicLolita Elegant Gothic]] LittleMissBadass [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots sentient program]] that wields a [[DropTheHammer mechanical hammer]] [[SwissArmyWeapon that can become]] rocket-powered, [[ThisIsADrill sport a drill]], or grow to the size of a large building for HumongousMecha smashing.

* The first episode of ''{{Mnemosyne}}'' has the protagonist, an [[{{Immortality}} immortal]] private investigator, use '''SHOTGUN GLOVES''' on a bunch of [[ZombieApocalypse zombies]].

* Kujako-Oh the PeacockKing. Buddhist ki-and-bead shooting monks ala [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Donovan]] vs nazi-summoning demons, demon-summoning nazis, demonic nazis, cybernetic demonic nazis with [[GatlingGood Gatling arms]], and a bishounen vampire nazi robot [[AssPull who isn't even aware he's a robot]]. And it's done in an incredibly serious and dramatic fashion. Yes, really. There's absolutely no comedic value behind any of it as opposed to some of the lunacy in Fullmetal Alchemist. And at one point the nazis went to war with one of the demon lords. [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome And won!]] Also, FMA appears to have a shoutout to one of the movies, King Bradley looks a heck of a lot like the demonic nazi gaufuhrer, who plays a similar role to the anime's Dante. (He's the BVNR's subordinate, until the BVNR's robot form is revealed when he's supposedly killed, at which point he reveals his eyepatch hides not the mark of the homonculi, but is home to the FinalBoss of the demon army!) {{HSQ}} drinking games with this series will leave one a soused and broken wreck.

** The design of the titular mecha also counts. Many described the Mazinger as a Demonic Knight Fortress, and in case of {{Mazinkaiser}} Demonic Knight Fortress Body Builder [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking wearing a diaper.]]

* ''MazingerZ'': [[{{Mook}} The Iron Masks and the Iron Crosses]] are corpses the BigBad reconstructed using cybernetic parts and reanimated, programming them to serve him faithfully. Hence, the are cyborg zombies. Besides, the Iron Masks wear uniforms resemble the armor of an ancient Greek soldier, and the Iron Cross's uniforms remind of Nazi soldiers. It is fitting since his leader IS an ex-Nazi officer turned cyborg by the BigBad.

* ''{{Macross 7}}'' is a series about a rock and roll band that fights evil space vampires with their TransformingMecha... and ThePowerOfRock and roll. No, really.

* ''{{Macross Frontier}}'' has a character that's an Afro'd HotBlooded HoYay ''Male'' BridgeBunny, the TokenMiniMoe [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Blue-Haired]] GenkiGirl who can become the [[OneeSama Big Sister]] AmazonianBeauty (just add water) and the {{Bifauxnen}} JerkWithAHeartofGold just to name a few; it's like the series '''tried''' to put together all of the most incompatible tropes just to see how it would turn out.
