* ''Anime/DemashitaPowerpuffGirlsZ'' is ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' meets ''Anime/PrettyCure''.
* ''Anime/DennouCoil'':
** ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'' meets ''Franchise/DotHack'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Recess}}'', with dashes of ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' and ''VideoGame/{{Nintendogs}}'', cooked in a KidDetective-shaped pot.
** Literally Creator/HayaoMiyazaki [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer At His Computer]].
* ''Manga/DesertPunk'':
** ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' meets ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'', with a cast full of [[UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist jerks]].
** ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' meets echi.
** ''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''

*** First arc: ''Digimon'' meets ''Series/PowerRangersSPD''.

* ''Manga/DragonBall'' started as ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' meets ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' evolves into ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest'' meets ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''.

** Add the spiritual elements of ''{{Anime/Noir}}'' with ''Film/ThelmaAndLouise''.
* ''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 ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' meets ''Manga/LoveHina'' meets ''Manga/{{Monster}}''.
* ''Anime/ElHazardTheMagnificentWorld'' is ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'' meets ''Literature/ArabianNights'' meets ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture''
* ''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.
* ''euphoria'' is ''Gantz'' meets ''A Serbian Film''.
* ''Manga/FairyTail'' is ''Manga/RaveMaster'' meets ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' meets ''Manga/OnePiece''.
** Or maybe Rave Master meets Manga/{{Hunter X Hunter}}.
* ''[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Fate/stay night]]'': ''Manga/ShamanKing'' meets ''Manga/{{Claymore}}''. ([[HGame with sex...]] [[BleachedUnderpants at least at first...]])

* ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' is ''Film/MadMax'' meets Creator/BruceLee films.
* ''Manga/TheFiveStarStories'' is ''Anime/HeavyMetalLGaim'' meets ''Franchise/FinalFantasy''.

* ''Anime/{{Fractale}}'' is ''Anime/DennouCoil'' meets ''Anime/NowAndThenHereAndThere''.
** Alternatively, it's ''[[Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]'' meets ''[[VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia Skies of Arcadia: Legends]]''

* ''LightNovel/FullmetalPanic'' is ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamThe08thMSTeam'' meets ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing''.
* ''Manga/FutureDiary'' is ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'' meets ''Manga/DeathNote'' with a dash of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' and side orders of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' and ''Manga/{{Monster}}''.

* ''Anime/FutureGPXCyberFormula'' is ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' meets UsefulNotes/FormulaOne, where the race cars are equipped with AI naviagations a la ''Series/KnightRider''.

** ''Anime/TheBraveExpressMightGaine'' is ''Franchise/{{Batman}}''... with Trains, meets Cinderella.
** ''Anime/BravePoliceJDecker'' is {{Transformers}} meets Anime/{{Patlabor}}...or a brief 90s Sunrise mecha anime called ''Armored Police Metal Jack'' with sentient robots instead of powered armor (some Metal Jack storylines were even reused for J-Decker, as they shared some of the writing staff).
** ''Anime/TheBraveofGoldGoldran'' is the ''Anime/{{Brave Series}}'' meets ''GoldenWarriorGoldLightan''.
** ''Anime/BraveCommandDagwon'' is the ''Anime/{{Brave Series}}'' meets ''TransformersSuperGodMasterforce''.
*** ''Chouja Reideen'' is ''{{Anime/Raideen}}'' meets ''Brave Command Dagwon'' (same staff).
* ''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.
* ''Literature/{{Gate}}'': Basically Franchise/StargateVerse meets MedievalEuropeanFantasy with a dash of TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse. And perhaps a tiny bit of Literature/TheSalvationWar in there as well...
* ''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/GhostInTheShell The film adaptation]] could be seen as ''Creator/WilliamGibson'' meets ''Creator/PhilipKDick''.
* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' is ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' meets ''Manga/UruseiYatsura''.
** Or ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' meets ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''.
* ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'': ''Anime/KOn'' meets ''VideoGame/WorldOfTanks''.
* ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex'' is ''Film/BladeRunner'' meets ''Series/{{CSI}}''.

* ''Anime/GodMazinger'' is ''Anime/MazingerZ'' meets ''Manga/GetterRobo'' meets ''Anime/{{GoLion}}''.
* ''LightNovel/GonnaBeTheTwinTail'' is essentially ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' filtered through a whole lot of familiar LightNovel tropes.
* 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]].

** 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!
* ''{{Manga/Guyver}}'' is the "DarkerAndEdgier biological mutant Tokusatsu" aspects of ''Film/ShinKamenRiderPrologue'' with the "unsuspecting passer-by accidentally becomes the hero" aspect of ''Series/KamenRiderFaiz'', in animated form.
* ''{{Manga/Green Blood}}'' is Film/GangsOfNewYork meets {{Film/Unforgiven}} meets Manga/{{Golgo 13}}.
* 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/{{Heroman}}'' is 1960s HumongousMecha [[GiantRobo man]][[Anime/{{Gigantor}} ga]] meets 1960 {{superhero}} [[Comicbook/{{Spider-Man}} comics]], as made in modern Japan and set in modern America.
* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' is ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' meets ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima''.
* ''Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead'' is ''Series/SavedByTheBell'' meets ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' and ''VideoGame/Left4Dead''.
** Or ''Film/DawnOfTheDead1978'' meets ''Film/TheExpendables''... [[{{Fanservice}} with tits]].
* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' is ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''Franchise/ChildrenOfTheCorn'' and ''Franchise/FridayThe13th'' to play ''TabletopGame/{{Clue}}''.
** Alternatively, ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' is ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''Franchise/SilentHill''.
** Or ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''Franchise/FridayThe13th''.
** Or, ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''Franchise/ChildrenOfTheCorn'' meets ''Film/GroundhogDay''.
* ''Manga/HououGakuenMisoragumi'' is ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' meets ''Manga/MariaHolic''.
* ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' is [[Manga/DragonBall Dragon]][[Anime/DragonBallZ Ball]] meets ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''.

* ''Anime/IGPXImmortalGrandPrix'' is ''Anime/SpeedRacer'' meets HumongousMecha
* ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' is considered, according to its profile page as "''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' meets ''Anime/StrikeWitches''", or "''LightNovel/{{Kampfer}}'' meets ''Anime/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''
* ''Iria: Zeiram the Animation'' is ''VideoGame/{{Metroid}}'' meets ''Film/{{Terminator}}''
* ''Manga/{{Jabberwocky}}'' is (from Mangafox) "''Literature/TheDaVinciCode'' (HistoricalInJoke conspiracies) meets ''Franchise/JurassicPark'' (dinosaurs are alive)" meets ''Literature/AnonymousRex'' (they're humanoid and disguised) meets ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' (literary characters (EG [[Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray Dorian Gray]] and Literature/TheCountOfMonteCristo) are real). Stylistically it's ''ComicBook/HellBoy'' meets ''ComicBook/SinCity''.
* ''Franchise/{{Jewelpet}}'' can be described as ''Franchise/LittlestPetShop'' meets ''Literature/HarryPotter''.
** ''Jewelpet'' (first series) - ''Manga/WeddingPeach'' meets ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}''.
** ''Anime/JewelpetTwinkle'' - ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' meets ''VisualNovel/NanatsuiroDrops'' minus the ero parts.
** ''Anime/JewelpetSunshine'' - ''Anime/OnegaiMyMelody'' meets ''Manga/CromartieHighSchool''.
** ''Anime/JewelpetKiraDeco'' - ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'' meets ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''. They get high and hang out with ''Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes''.
** ''Anime/JewelpetHappiness'' - ''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!]]
** Alternatively:
--> '''Phantom Blood''' is ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' meets ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' (HotBlooded KungFu Gothic Vampire Action)

* ''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.
* ''Anime/KaitouTenshiTwinAngel: Kyunkyun Tokimeki Paradise!!'': "If you ever wondered what it would be like if Franchise/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]])

* ''ComicBook/{{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'': ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' meets ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' (it's also from [[Creator/KojiKumeta the same]] {{Mangaka}} as the latter), although it predates both series. So it's essentially ''[[LightNovel/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''.
* ''Manga/KimbaTheWhiteLion'' is ''Manga/AstroBoy'' meets ''Literature/AnimalFarm''.
* ''Anime/KillLaKill'' is ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' meets ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'' meets ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' meets ''Franchise/MortalKombat'', with helpings of ''Anime/PrettyCure'' and ''Anime/SCryEd'', along with a dash of ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' added in for good measure.

** ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' meets ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''.
** Anime/SailorMoon meets Film/KillBill.
* ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'' could be considered ''{{VideoGame/Kirby}}'' meets ''{{Anime/Anpanman}}''
* ''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 ''Manga/{{Zeorymer}}'' meets ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration''.
* ''Manga/{{Kurokami}}'' is ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' meets ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack''.
* ''Literature/{{Kurozuka}}'': ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'' meets ''Anime/NinjaScroll''.
* ''LightNovel/KyouranKazokuNikki'' is ''LightNovel/{{Haruhi Suzumiya}}'' with the randomness of ''Anime/{{Pani Poni Dash}}''.
* Manga/{{Legendz}} is Franchise/KingdomHearts Meets Anime/CrayonShinChan.
* Anime/LittleWitchAcademia is Anime/KikisDeliveryService Meets Literature/HarryPotter.
* ''Anime/LordOfLordsRyuKnight'' is ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' meets ''Anime/PanzerWorldGalient''.
* ''Anime/LoupsGarous'' is ''Manga/KOn'' meets ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry''.
* ''Manga/LoveHina'' is ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'' meets ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' (swapping the martial arts hijinks for MundaneFantastic hijinks)
* ''Anime/LuckyStar'' can be described as ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' meets ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}''. Or alternatively, ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'' meets ''Manga/{{Genshiken}}''.
* ''Franchise/LupinTheThird'' is ''ComicBook/{{Tintin}}'' meets ''Film/JamesBond''.
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' can be easily described as ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' meets ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''. Alternatively, the first two seasons are ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' meets ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' and ''Franchise/StarTrek'', and the third season is more like ''Sailor Moon'' meets ''[[Series/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.]])
* ''Anime/{{Madlax}}'': ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' and''Film/ThelmaAndLouise'' had a kid. An animated one. It's babysat by ''Film/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''.
* ''Manga/MahouShoujoSite'' is ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' meets ''Manga/DeathNote''.
* ''Anime/{{Mai-HiME}}'' is for all intents and purposes ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' meets ''Literature/FoucaultsPendulum''.
** Alternatively, ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' meets ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' with a bit of ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''.
* ''Manga/MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro'': ''Manga/BlackButler'' meets ''Literature/HowlsMovingCastle'' meets ''Film/Beetlejuice''.
* ''Manga/MakaiOuji'': ''Anime/BlackButler'' meets ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' meets ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' ... with slightly less HoYay.
* ''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'' ''Anime/MazingerZ'' manga meets ''Anime/EndOfEvangelion'' (aka, UnbuiltTrope meets {{Deconstruction}}).
* ''Anime/MDGeist'' is ''Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS'' meets ''Manga/ViolenceJack'' meets ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''.
* ''Manga/MedakaBox'' is ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'' meets ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya meets ''Manga/{{Gintama}}.

* ''Anime/MichikoToHatchin'': ''Manga/LoneWolfAndCub'' meets ''Film/ThelmaAndLouise''.
* ''Anime/MillenniumActress'' is ''Film/ForrestGump'' meets ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}''
* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'': ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' - ''GiantBugs'' + ''SuperRobot''×(''{{Cynicism}}'' + ''{{Realism}}'')
* Another ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise: ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''. ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets... guess what: ''Manga/DragonBall''.
** More like ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', to be honest.
** 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:

* ''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.

* ''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'': ''[[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' meets ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' (it's also from [[Creator/KojiKumeta the same]] {{Mangaka}} as the latter), although it predates both series. So it's essentially ''[[LightNovel/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.

* ''Franchise/LupinTheThird'' is ''ComicBook/{{Tintin}}'' meets ''Film/JamesBond''.
* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'' can be easily described as ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' meets ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''. Alternatively, the first two seasons are ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' meets ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' and ''Franchise/StarTrek'', and the third season is more like ''Sailor Moon'' meets ''[[Series/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.]])
* ''Anime/{{Madlax}}'': ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' and''Film/ThelmaAndLouise'' had a kid. An animated one. It's babysat by ''Film/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''.
* ''Manga/MahouShoujoSite'' is ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' meets ''Manga/DeathNote''.
* ''Anime/{{Mai-HiME}}'' is for all intents and purposes ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' meets ''Literature/FoucaultsPendulum''.
** Alternatively, ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' meets ''Film/{{Highlander}}'' with a bit of ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''.
* ''Manga/MajinTanteiNougamiNeuro'': ''Manga/BlackButler'' meets ''Literature/HowlsMovingCastle'' meets ''Film/Beetlejuice''.
* ''Manga/MakaiOuji'': ''Anime/BlackButler'' meets ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' meets ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' ... with slightly less HoYay.
* ''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'' ''Anime/MazingerZ'' manga meets ''Anime/EndOfEvangelion'' (aka, UnbuiltTrope meets {{Deconstruction}}).
* ''Anime/MDGeist'' is ''Anime/ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS'' meets ''Manga/ViolenceJack'' meets ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar''.

* Another ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise: ''[[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam G Gundam]]''. ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets... guess what: ''Manga/DragonBall''.
** More like ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', to be honest.
** 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]].

(Incidentally, ''Gundam 00'' is from the same people who also brought you ''Anime/CodeGeass''.)
** I thought it was ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'' meets ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic''.
* ''Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam'' is essentially ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'' meets ''WorldMasterpieceTheater''.

** Part 1 can be described as ''Anime/NinjaScroll'' meets {{Hunter x Hunter}} meets ''Manga/DragonBall'', and part 2 as ''Anime/NinjaScroll'' meets ''Manga/DragonBallZ''.

* ''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 Manga/DeathNote with ''fapping''.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** ''Manga/DragonBall'' meets ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' meets the ''Literature/LandOfOz'' with lots of [[Main/WidgetSeries widgety-ness]].

* ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' can be summed up as the bastard lovechild of ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' and ''Manga/ExcelSaga''.

* ''Anime/PlasticMemories'' is ''Film/BladeRunner'' meets ''Manga/{{Chobits}}''.
