Crossovers That Should Not Be 25 - A Quarter-Century of Bad Ideas

A complicated plan to assassinate Sauron goes awry, in Dial M for Mordor

There's anime out there about pretty much any activity being practised by cute girls as a high-school club activity... but I don't recall any about golf. Maybe nobody could commit to a Hokago Tee Time.

I'm pretty sure there's a golfer-girls anime airing right now, or as part of the current season anyway. I don't remember the name though, I skip all sports anime by default so "golf" was as far as I read before moving on.

eta: a quick search brings up Birdie Wing -Golf Girls' Story- which pretty much puts it right on the tin

e2: the trailer makes them look older than the usual high schoolers, but that could just be the art style. Also seems to shiptease a yuri crush? "Her golf swing is just so amazing! Perfection! (heart eyes!)"

Indeed there is, but it isn't a "Cute Girls doing Cute Things" anime. More of a "Girls with Guns" anime, in the vein of Noir or Madlax. It is actually scripted by the author of Madlax, and apparently happens in the same universe. Also made by a Gundam studio, which explains why the blonde protagonist (an amnesiac foundling that may or may not be a clone of one of the greastest golfers ever) was taught golf by Char Aznable's seiyuu while the brunette rival/yuri love interest (the daughter of two of the greastest golfers ever and raised from birth to be the greatest golfer ever) is coached by Amuro Rei's seiyuu.
And there are rival mafia gangs settling billion dollar disputes with literally underground illegal golf deathmatchs in a geofront playing on a mechanically randomizing golf court.

It's so over the top it is hilarious. You should really check it out.

We've switched Nanoha Takamachi (Lyrical Nanoha) with Ann Takamaki (Persona 5). Let's see what happens next in both continuities...

[robkelk]

We've dropped Fate Averruncus, Fate Testarossa, and Doctor Fate into a Grail War. Let's see what happens.

a strange thought that occured to me the other day...

A Deadpool film directed by Mel Brooks, there'd be no Fourth Wall left!

[nocarename]

They'd leave a little. Just enough to know what you're looking through.

A sort of... framing device.

The story of a love triangle... that involves esper gondoliers on Mars.

Zone of Ender's Game

[classicdrogn]

I'm not sure it wouldn't actually belong in the other thread, but what about an Ender issekai on Westeros? Yes, it's Ender's Game of Thrones, followed perhaps by Speaker For The Undead...

From there... Dracocide? Children of the Forest? There's actually something like twenty novels and short stories in the Ender's Game continuity, with at least one more still pending to complete another trilogy with the first two books in 2016 and 2019 according to Wikipedia.

[Norgarth]

how about "End Zoner's Game" in which several members of the Wedge Defence Force get annoyed with a game Zoner is constantly playing. 8P

[Tennie]

Or how about Ender's Squid Game, purely to see what kinds of insanity result?

[robkelk]

So, Zone of Ender's Squid Game of Thrones?

Or Zone of Bender's Squid Game of Thrones?

Now we're just getting silly.

Codename: Sailor V... for Voldemort.

[robkelk]

Has anybody ever crossed the "L is real 2401" meme and Death Note?

No?

Good...

[classicdrogn]

I dunno, Luigi replacing L might make an interesting short, at least.

[ECSNorway]

Hmm, perhaps we should replace Agent Elle of the Men in Black with L from Death Note....

[Labster]

No one went for Squid Girl Game? And here I thought the Japanese were always up for inkvading Korea.

[Vulpis]

...I thought Japan already had that, and called it 'Splatoon'?

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the Sailor Team:

• Usagi "Hannibal" Tsukino, who loves it when a youma plan falls apart;
  
• Rei "Face" Hino, the one with that memorable smile;
  
• Makoto "M.K." Kino, the team's muscle, who has a fear of flying; and
  
• "Howlin' Mad" Minako Aino
  

Oh, and that recurring character who used her brains instead of her brawn... what was her name, again... Ami?

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... Ooarai's A-Team:

• Miho "Hannibal" Nishizumi, whose plans always come together;
  
• Saori "Face" Takebe, the one who can talk you into anything... except being her boyfriend;
  
• Hana "H.I." Isuzu, the team's muscle, who uses as much force as needed but no more; and
  
• "Howlin' Mad" Yukari Akiyama, mistress of disguise
  

Oh, and that recurring character who used her brains instead of her brawn, but kept sleeping through the action scenes... what was her name, again... Mako?
