** Or just ''Anime/ErgoProxy'' meets ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' with HumongousMecha.

** While its Anime is summarized as ''Film/MeanGirls'' meets ''Film/SuckerPunch''.
** MagicalGirl ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}''.
** ''ComicBook/TheMaxx'' meets ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena''. BRS even has [[Creator/ImageComics Image]]'s NinetiesAntiHero look.

** Don't forget ''Manga/ShamanKing'' for the whole spirits and swords thing.
** Or ''Manga/SaintSeiya'' meets ''Manga/YuYuHakusho''.
** Or ''Manga/SoulEater'' meets ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''
* ''Manga/BoboboBoBoBobo'' is ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' meets ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' [[ThisIsYourPremiseOnDrugs after taking too much acid]].
* ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'' is ''Literature/EndersGame'' meets ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' meets -- you guessed it -- ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.

* ''Anime/CarnivalPhantasm'':
** The Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} taking a holiday in the universe of ''Manga/HaruhiChan'' with truckloads of anti-depressant laced ice-cream and cake.
** A lot of people have been calling this series the Franchise/{{Nasuverse}}: [[Anime/FullMetalPanicFumoffu Fumoffu]], and with [[RuleOfFunny good reason.]]
* ''Manga/CatShitOne'': ''ComicBook/{{Maus}}'' meets ''Film/ApocalypseNow''. Others have likened it to ''WatershipDown'' meets ''Franchise/MetalGear''.
* ''Anime/CControl'':
** ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' meets ''The Inside Job'' meets ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' all written by some drunk and LSD-laced stock broker.
** More like ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' meets the stock market. [[FridgeLogic Oh, great]] more {{Black Box}}es.
** ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' meets ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf''?
** ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' with credit cards.
** ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' with the Soul Society replaced by Wall Street.
** ''Anime/EdenOfTheEast'' meets ''Franchise/YuGiOh''.
*** [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries CARDGAMES ON]] [[FridgeBrilliance ECONOMICS]]! It is actually "money" instead of "economics", but who cares?
** Warren Buffet's take on ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''.
** Stock Market and International Economics...meets Lovecraft.
** If ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' was an allegory for economics instead of puberty.
* ''Anime/ChirinNoSuzu'' is Ernest Thompson Seton and Friedrich Nietzsche write a Revenge Tragedy : [[TheMovie The Anime]].
* ''Manga/{{Claymore}}'': ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' meets ''Film/TheThing1982'' meets ''Series/CharliesAngels''.
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED'' meets ''Manga/DeathNote'' meets ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'', with a dash of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. Some fans like to add ''Manga/{{X1999}}'' to that description.
* ''Anime/CombattlerV'' is ''Anime/MazingerZ'' meets ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman''.
* ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' can be described as ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' meets the SpaghettiWestern genre, with some ''Franchise/StarWars'' and Creator/JohnWoo thrown into the mix. However, since ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' started syndication in 2002 and ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' in 1998, it would be more accurate to say that ''Series/{{Firefly}}'' is ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' meets zombie horror and conspiracy theory movies.
** It's been called, more or less, ''Franchise/LupinIII'' meets the SpaceWestern.
** Or Creator/SeijunSuzuki meets Creator/JohnWoo [[RecycledINSPACE on Mars]]—the only "western" elements are the word "cowboy" and some bad Television Indians.
* ''Anime/DaiMahouTouge'' is ''Manga/SailorMoon'' meets ''VideoGame/{{Eversion}}''.
* ''Anime/{{Daitarn 3}}'' is ''Franchise/JamesBond'' meets 70s Super Robot shows.
* ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' is ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' after watching ''faaaar'' too much ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', [[TheCowl guest-starring]] Franchise/{{Batman}}.
** Alternately, it's ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' as a prequel to ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}''.
** Though technically speaking he's not so much Batman as "Batman meets ''VisualNovel/PhantomOfInferno's Zwei meets [[ShockAndAwe a downed power line]]."
*** There's also a little bit of ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell'' thrown in for good measure.
* ''Anime/DeadLeaves'' is ''WesternAnimation/SuperJail'' meets ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' and ''Anime/FLCL''.
* ''Manga/DeadmanWonderland'' is ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'' meets ''Manga/ElfenLied'' (with the ''Manga/LoveHina'' replaced by ''Series/{{Oz}}'' and given more insanity) meets the first story arc of ''Manga/RikiOh''.
** Alternatively ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'' mixed with ''Literature/TheHungerGames''.
** Or ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' meets ''Manga/ElfenLied''.
* ''Manga/DeathNote'' is ''Series/{{Dexter}}'' meets ''Series/{{Monk}}'' meets ''Theatre/DoctorFaustus''.
* ''Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ'' is ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' meets ''Anime/PrettyCure''.
* ''Anime/DennouCoil'' is ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'' meets ''Franchise/DotHack'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', with dashes of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' and ''VideoGame/{{Nintendogs}}'', cooked in a KidDetective shaped pot.
** While we're on that note, ''Anime/DennouCoil'' is quite literally Creator/HayaoMiyazaki [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer At His Computer]].
* ''Manga/DesertPunk'' is probably intended as something like ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' meets ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'', with a cast full of [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist jerks]]. It's also inadvertently ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' meets echi.
** Alternately, it's ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' meets ''Franchise/LupinIII''.
* ''Manga/DGrayMan'' is ''Manga/FullMetalAlchemist'' meets ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', as directed by Creator/TimBurton.
** And so is ''Manga/SoulEater''. The biggest difference being that ''Manga/SoulEater'' goes on and off anti-depressants and caffeine, while ''Manga/DGrayMan'' hasn't touched either in years.
*** Alternatively, ''Manga/SoulEater'' is ''Manga/ShamanKing'' meets ''Literature/HarryPotter'' with a dash of Creator/TimBurton for good measure.
* ''Anime/{{Diebuster}}'': ''Anime/{{Gunbuster}}'' meets ''Anime/{{FLCL}}''.
* ''Anime/DiGiCharat'' is ''Manga/LuckyStar'' meets ''WesternAnimation/KaBlam''
* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' in general: ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' meets ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars''.
** Alternatively, ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'', the anime series: ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' meets ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}''.
* ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' meets ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia''.
** Alternatively ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}'' meets ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' meets ''Literature/LordofTheFlies''...FOR KIDS!
** ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'': ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Tamagotchi}}'' meets ''{{Degrassi}}''. Each of the Digidestines have personal issues.
** ''Anime/DigimonTamers'': ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' meets ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. No '''seriously'''. [[http://digipedia.db-destiny.net/misc/trivia.htm#6 See here]]. (To clarify: there are many references to Eva. The general tone of it, however)
** ''Anime/DigimonSavers'': ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' meets ''Series/PowerRangersSPD''... at least for the first arc.
*** The second arc would be ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' meets ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''.
** ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'': ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' meets ''Franchise/SuperSentai''.
** ''Anime/DigimonXrosWars'': ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' meets ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms''.
*** Or ''Digimon'' meets the first half of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.
** ''Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersLeapingThroughTime'': ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' meets ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''
*** Or ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' meets the second half of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.
* ''Anime/DogDays'' is ''MostExtremeEliminationChallenge'' meets ''LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero''.
* ''Anime/DokiDokiPrecure'' is ''Anime/PrettyCure'' meets ''Series/JAKQDengekitai'' meets ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''.
* ''Manga/DragonBall'' started as ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' meets ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' evolves into ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' meets ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''.
* ''Manga/{{Drifters}}'' is ''Roleplay/RecordOfLodossWar'' meets ''Series/DeadliestWarrior''.
* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' is Celtic mythology meets ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' meets [[ImageBoards Anon]][[IAmLegion ymous]]. In Japan.
* ''Anime/ElCazadorDeLaBruja'': Amigo Tacos, when Taco Bell meets MaidCafe.
* ''Anime/ElementHunters'': When it was first announced most people wrote it off as just Pokemon with Chemistry. ([[spoiler:As it turns out, the element {{Mon}}s are more like mascots than anything else.]])
* ''Manga/ElfenLied:'' ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' meets ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'' meets ''Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde'' meets ''Manga/LoveHina'' meets ''Manga/{{Monster}}''.
* ''Anime/ErgoProxy'' is ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'' meets ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' meets ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' minus the GiantMecha and plus the painful amounts of {{UST}} and {{Tsundere}}.
* ''Anime/EurekaSeven'' is ''[[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam X]]'' meets ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. With surfers.
** Or alternatively, it could be how ''Anime/CodeGeass'' and ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' were before they broke up.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'' is ''Manga/RaveMaster'' meets ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' meets ''Manga/OnePiece''.
* ''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fate/stay night]]'': ''Manga/ShamanKing'' meets ''Manga/{{Claymore}}''. ([[HGame with sex...]] [[BleachedUnderpants at least at first...]])
** And ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'' is ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' meets romantic comedy and SliceOfLife.
* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' is ''Film/MadMax'' meets Creator/BruceLee films.
* ''Manga/TheFiveStarStories'' is ''Anime/HeavyMetalLGaim'' meets ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''.
** Or ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''Series/DowntonAbbey''.
* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' is like if '''Creator/HayaoMiyazaki''' and '''ThomasPynchon''' had an anime baby, and '''Creator/QuentinTarantino''' was its creepy uncle.
* ''Anime/{{Fractale}}'' is ''Anime/DennouCoil'' meets ''Anime/NowAndThenHereAndThere''.
* ''Fullmetal Alchemist'' ([[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist both]] [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist versions]]): ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' meets ''Manga/HunterXHunter''.
* ''LightNovel/FullmetalPanic'' is ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam'' meets ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''.
* ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'' is ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' meets ''Series/KnightRider'' meets FormulaOne with some elements of ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' thrown into it.
* ''Manga/GakuenAlice'' is ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' meets ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' and they all get shipped off to [[Literature/HarryPotter Hogwarts]].
* ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'' (and the entire ''Braves'' series) is ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' meets 70s/80s Super Robot shows.
* ''Anime/GatchamanCrowds'': Despite having the name ''Gatchaman'', it's really more like ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' meets Website/{{Facebook}} and/or ''Anime/SummerWars''.
** The Gatchaman Crew themselves are somewhere between {{Sentai}} and [[MagicalGirl Magical Girls]]; the conflict between Hajime and Sugane largely reflects that.
* ''Anime/GenesisOfAquarion'' is ''Manga/GetterRobo'' meets ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' meets ''Anime/VanDread'' meets neo-paganism.
* ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}'' is ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' meets ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''.
* ''Manga/GetterRobo'' is ''Anime/MazingerZ'' meets ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman'' meets CosmicHorrorStory.
* The original ''Manga/GhostInTheShell'' manga is pretty much ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' meets ''Literature/{{Neuromancer}}''. Less so the subsequent anime adaptations.
** The franchise in general could be ''Film/BladeRunner'' meets ''Franchise/TheMatrix'', although it precedes the latter.
* ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'': ''Anime/KOn'' meets ''VideoGame/WorldOfTanks''.
* ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' is ''Film/BladeRunner'' meets ''Series/{{CSI}}''.
* ''Anime/GiganticFormula'' is ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' meets ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}''.
* ''Anime/GodMazinger'' is ''Anime/MazingerZ'' meets ''Manga/GetterRobo'' meets ''Anime/{{GoLion}}''.
* The [[ShowWithinAShow Film Within A Film]] of ''Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer'' can only be described as ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'' meets ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''. It's just that [[MundaneMadeAwesome awesome]] and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments hilarious]].
* ''GundamBuildFighters'' is ''AngelicLayer'' meets the ''{{Francshise/Gundam}}'' franchise.
* The anime ''VideoGame/{{Gungrave}}'' is ''Film/{{Scarface}}'' with Zombies.
* ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' is ''Film/TheProfessional'' meets ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell''.
** Or ''Manga/ElfenLied'' meets ''Franchise/{{Robocop}}''.
** ''Manga/{{Saikano}}'' is ''Manga/ElfenLied'' meets ''Manga/GunslingerGirl''.
** Or ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' meets [[ShonenDemographic Shonen]]
* ''Anime/GunXSword'' has been dubbed "''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' with giant robots." It's like the love child of the SpaceWestern and the HumongousMecha genre, with maybe a dash of ''Film/TrueGrit''.
** More likely, ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' meets ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' - with HumongousMecha!
* ''HakobuneHakusho'' is ''Manga/GakuenAlice'' meets ''WesternAnimation/MyGymPartnersAMonkey''.
* When the ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' novels were licensed, [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer poor advertising]] hilariously and inaccurately described the series as "''Series/HannahMontana'' meets ''Series/{{Heroes}}''". ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''Literature/SnowCrash'' might be better.
** Justified, it was promoted in such in order to attract more US consumers to the light novel market.
** It also meets ''Literature/GoodOmens'' and ''Film/TheMatrix'' on its way.
** It also meets Dan Simmons' ''Literature/HyperionCantos'', considering the book actually influences the story.
*** ''Manga/HaruhiChan'' is regular Haruhi injected with ''Anime/LuckyStar'' and more caffeine.
** What about ''ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes'' meets ''Literature/TheBible''?
** How about ''Series/DoctorWho'' meets ''Series/StargateSG1'' and ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', [[HighSchoolAU in a high school?]]
* The plot of one episode of ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' is described by the [[LemonyNarrator narrator]] as "''Die Hard'' on a cruise ship."
* ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'' is ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'' meets ''Manga/DearS''.
* ''Anime/HeavyMetalLGaim'' is ''Anime/MazingerZ'' meets ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''Anime/UFORoboGrendizer''.
* ''{{Hellsing}}'' is ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' meets ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' meets ''Come and See'' meets ''{{Hellboy}}'' meets ''Creator/QuentinTarantino''.
* ''HeroicAge'' is ''{{Starcraft}}'' meets ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' meets ''Anime/DragonBallZ''.
* ''{{Heroman}}'' is 1960s HumongousMecha [[GiantRobo man]][[{{Gigantor}} ga]] meets 1960 {{superhero}} [[Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}} comics]], as made in modern Japan and set in modern America.
* ''HighschoolOfTheDead'' is ''SavedByTheBell'' meets ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''.
** Or ''Film/DawnOfTheDead'' meets ''TheExpendables''... [[{{Fanservice}} with tits]].
* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' is ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''ChildrenOfTheCorn'' to play ''TabletopGame/{{Clue}}''.
** Alternatively, ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' is ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''Franchise/SilentHill''.
** Or ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''Manga/ElfenLied''.
** Or, ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''ChildrenOfTheCorn'' meets ''Film/GroundhogDay''.
* ''Houou Gakuen Misoragumi'' is ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' meets ''MariaHolic''.
* ''{{HunterXHunter}}'' is ''RaveMaster'' meets ''YuYuHakusho'' meets ''DragonBall'' meets ''{{Berserk}}''.
* ''InfiniteStratos'' is considered, according to its profile page as "''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' meets ''Anime/StrikeWitches''", or "''{{Kampfer}}'' meets ''SkyGirls''."
** However, it can also be ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' with a ''[[TenchiMuyo hilarious Tenchi Twist]]''... and with added ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''
* ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'' is ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' meets ''Anime/NinjaScroll''
* ''Manga/{{Jabberwocky}}'' is (from Mangafox) "''TheDaVinciCode'' (HistoricalInJoke conspiracies) meets ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' (dinosaurs are alive)" meets ''Literature/AnonymousRex'' (they're humanoid and disguised) meets ''TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' (literary characters (EG [[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray Dorian Gray]] and Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo) are real). Stylistically it's ''ComicBook/HellBoy'' meets ''SinCity''.
* ''Franchise/{{Jewelpet}}'' can be described as ''Franchise/LittlestPetShop'' meets ''Literature/HarryPotter''.
** ''Jewelpet'' (first series) - ''Manga/WeddingPeach'' meets ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''.
** ''Jewelpet Twinkle'' - ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' meets ''VisualNovel/NanatsuiroDrops'' minus all the {{Eroge}}.
** ''Jewelpet Sunshine'' - ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody'' meets ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool''.
** ''Jewelpet Kira Deco'' - ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' meets ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''. They get high and hang out with ''Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes''.
** ''Jewelpet Happiness'' - ''Manga/ShirokumaCafe'' meets ''Manga/SchoolRumble'' in a MagicalGirl world.
* Part one of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' could be described as ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' meets ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''. (The later parts are completely different, however.)
** Part two: ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' meets [[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} Apocalypse]].
** Part three: ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' meets ''Manga/ShamanKing'' (although Jojo is the earlier work here).
** Part four: ''Manga/ShamanKing'' meets ''Series/TwinPeaks''.
** Part five: ''Manga/ShamanKing'' meets ''Film/TheGodfather''.
** Part six: ''Manga/ShamanKing'' meets ''Series/PrisonBreak''.
** Part seven... ok, we can do this... ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' does AsTheGoodBookSays, [[RecycledINSPACE IN THE WILD, WILD WEST!]]
* ''Anime/{{Kaiba}}'': The art style can best be described as ''Manga/AstroBoy'' meets ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'' with a hint of ''Literature/TheLittlePrince''.
* From the page here, ''Manga/KaitouSaintTail'' sounds like "''Manga/SailorMoon'' meets ''Franchise/SlyCooper''". This may be inaccurate.
* ''KaitouTenshiTwinAngel: Kyunkyun Tokimeki Paradise!!'': "If you ever wondered what it would be like if Manga/SailorMoon had to battle [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket]] for 7 Manga/{{Dragon Ball}}s, now you know." ([[http://www.crunchyroll.com/twin-angel-twinkle-paradise/episode-1-that-does-not-even-deserve-a-response-enter-twin-angel-580764/comments?pg=2]])
* ''Manga/KamisamaKiss'' is ''Manga/FruitsBasket'' meets ''Manga/InuYasha.''
* ''KarakuridoujiUltimo'' is ''ZatchBell'' meets ''Manga/AstroBoy''.
* ''Literature/KaraNoKyoukai'' is ''Manga/ElfenLied'' meets ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'', with characters pulled from ''Manga/BlackLagoon''.
* ''Katana'' is ''Manga/XxXHolic'' meets [[KatanasAreJustBetter Japanese swords]].
* ''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'' started out with Mafia meeting ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' reading ''Literature/TheLittlePrince'', then it got adopted by Shonen Jump who somehow saw fit to raise it with conspicuous amount of HoYay. Recently it started playing ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' with the child of ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' and ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' (who got married after resolving their differences).
* ''Manga/KatteNiKaizo'': ''[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' meets ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' (it's also from [[KojiKumeta the same]] {{Mangaka}} as the latter), although it predates both series. So it's essentially ''[[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' and ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' before they broke up.
* The manga ''Manga/KazeHikaru'' can be described as ''Manga/PeacemakerKurogane'' meets ''Manga/RoseOfVersailles''.
* Similarly, the page for ''Manga/KeroroGunsou'' makes it look like "''Anime/{{Hamtaro}}'' + ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' -- CrapsackWorld". Once again, possibly inaccurate.
** Or ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' meets ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar''.
* ''KimbaTheWhiteLion'' is ''Manga/AstroBoy'' meets ''AnimalFarm''.
* ''Anime/KillLaKill'' is ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' meets ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'', with helpings of ''Anime/PrettyCure'' and ''Anime/SCryEd'' added in for good measure.
* ''LightNovel/KinosJourney'': ''Series/QuantumLeap'' meets ''Series/TheTwilightZone'', with some ''Literature/GulliversTravels'' on the side.
** Alternatively, ''Literature/GulliversTravels'' meets ''Film/ABoyAndHisDog'' and goes TrueNeutral.
* Adding ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' to ''Manga/{{BECK}}'' will give you ''Manga/KOn'' as a result.
* ''KuroganeNoLinebarrel'' is ''{{Zeorymer}}'' meets ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration''.
* ''Manga/{{Kurokami}}'' is ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' meets ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack''.
* ''Literature/{{Kurozuka}}'': ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' meets ''Anime/NinjaScroll''.
* ''LightNovel/KyoukaiNoKanata'': [[LightNovel/ChuunibyouDemoKoiGaShitai Chuuni]] meets LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}
** ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'' meets ''Manga/KOn''. Mirai is like Ryougi Shiki[[note]]has deathly power, having a hard time expressing her true feelings, meets a genuinely NiceGuy who works under an aloof woman[[/note]], except that she's a {{moeblob}}.
* ''LightNovel/{{Kyouran Kazoku Nikki}}'' is ''LightNovel/{{Haruhi Suzumiya}}'' with the randomness of ''Anime/{{Pani Poni Dash}}''.

* ''LoupsGarous'' is ''{{K-on}}''! meets ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''.

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' can be easily described as ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' meets ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''. Alternatively, the first two seasons are ''Manga/SailorMoon'' meets ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' and ''Franchise/StarTrek'', and the third season is more like ''Manga/SailorMoon'' meets ''[[DetroitOneEightSeven Detroit 1-8-7]]''.
* ''Anime/MacrossPlus'' is effectively ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' meets ''Film/TopGun''.
** ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', meanwhile, can be seen as ''Film/TopGun'' meets ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'' meets ''Franchise/StarTrek'' meets ''Series/HannahMontana'' ([[Anime/{{Macross7}} Not the first time a pop singer motif was used in Macross, mind.]])
* ''{{Madlax}}'': ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' and''Film/ThelmaAndLouise'' had a kid. An animated one. It's babysat by ''GosfordPark'' and spends a lot of time hanging out with that weird [[Literature/TheBrothersKaramazov Karamazov]] kid down the lane. No, really.
* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has been (inaccurately, due to intentional GenreShift) described as "''Literature/HarryPotter'' meets ''Manga/LoveHina''." But it was more like ''Manga/HunterxHunter'' meets ''Manga/LoveHina'', but with magic. But now, it can be described more as ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' meets ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics'', with some ''Manga/DragonBall'' in the mix, and some bonus FanService on top. All the while, having the cast of a HaremSeries.
** Once [[CrazyAwesome Jack Rakan]] shows up, one can add a dollop of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' to the mix.
** So, [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/31826 this guy]] could get some money out of it?
** The magic world arc even starts mixing in bits of [[spoiler: ''Film/TheMatrix'' and ''Film/TotalRecall1990'', what with the Magic World being an artificially created world and everything...]]
** ShowWithinAShow ''Biblion'' seems to be something akin to ''Anime/PrettyCure'' meets ''Anime/ReadOrDie''.
* ''Anime/{{Mai-HiME}}'' is for all intents and purposes ''Manga/SailorMoon'' meets ''Literature/FoucaultsPendulum''.
* ''MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro'': ''Manga/BlackButler'' meets ''Howl's Moving Castle'' meets ''Beetlejuice''.
* ''Manga/MakaiOuji'': ''BlackButler'' meets ''PandoraHearts''.
* ''Anime/MazingerZ'' is ''[[Anime/{{Gigantor}} Tetsujin 28-go]]'' meets ''Anime/AstroBoy'' meets ''Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman''.
** And ''ShinMazingerZero'' is ''Anime/MazingerZ'' meets ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''. And the first arc may be described like the ''original'' ''MazingerZ'' manga meets ''EndOfEvangelion'' (aka, UnbuiltTrope meets {{Deconstruction}}).
* ''MetalFightBeyblade'' is ''{{Beyblade}}'' meets ''SaintSeiya''.
* MillenniumActress is ForrestGump meets {{Titanic}}
* ''MiraiNikki'' is ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'' meets ''Manga/DeathNote'' with a dash of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' and side orders of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' and ''Manga/{{Monster}}''.

* MobileSuitGundam: StarWars meets MazingerZ meets AllQuietOnTheWesternFront.
* Another ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise: ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''. ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets... guess what: ''Manga/DragonBall''.

** Or ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''VideoGame/PunchOut''
** ''Film/RobotJox'' meets ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''
* With the First Generation finished, it's safe to say that ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamAGE'' is ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico''; you could also argue that Age is ''Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam'' meets ''Anime/MartianSuccessorNadesico'' with a hint of ''VideoGame/RedFaction'' for good measure.
** As the story progresses it becomes more like ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''Franchise/StarWars'', with its multi-generational storyline, pilots with Jedi-like reflexes and perception and its characters occasionally flirting with the dark side.
* The first few episodes of ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'' are like ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'' (The Strike is the original RX-78 (White/Blue Hero Gundam), Aegis is Epyon (Red Transforming Gundam), Blitz is Deathscythe (Black Cloaking Gundam), Buster is Heavyarms ({{BFG}} Gundam), and Duel is Sandrock (Semi-normal but heavily-armored Gundam). AS for the rest of the mecha expies:
** Freedom = [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Gundam Double X]] + [[{{Anime/MobileSuitGundamF91}} Gundam Formula 91]].
*** Strike Freedom = Freedom + [[{{Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack}} Hi-Nu Gundam]] (from the novel adaptation, ''Beltorchika's Children'') + [[{{Anime/MobileSuitGundamWingEndlessWaltz}} Wing Gundam Zero Custom]].
** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'' is ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''Franchise/StarWars''.
** ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'' is ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic''.
* Meanwhile, ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Gundam 00]]'' actually ''is Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' meets ''Manga/DeathNote''; or, if you want to be more accurate, ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' meets ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' with [[AGodAmI Light Yagami]] thrown in for good measure. (Incidentally, ''Gundam 00'' is from the same people who also brought you ''Anime/CodeGeass''.)

* ''MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' is essentially ''MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''WorldMasterpieceTheater''.

* ''Manga/OnaniMasterKurosawa'' is ''Manga/DeathNote'' starring [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy Glenn Quagmire]] who then gets abducted and replaced with [[Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye Holden Caulfield]]. In other words, It's DeathNote with ''fapping''.
