Well, not really at all, except in the sense that there's a new CCG out there that is based off of multiple different anime universes.
In this case, of course, it's series that are popular with fandom now, such as Evangelion, Fate/Stay-Night, Macross Frontier, Clannad, Disgaea, Da Capo, Fairy Tail, Lucky Star, To Aru Majutsu No Index, Shakugan no Shana, Familiar of Zero, Nanoha, and many more.
It's called "Weiss Schwartz", and it's a Japanese CCG that's being imported into the US by Hammergirl Anime (my Friendly Local Anime Shoppe).
http://www.heartofthecards.com/ws/ is the US homepage. It has links to the rules, card translations, and the Japanese publishers' homepage.
The cards are presented in the original Japanese, untranslated, as there is not yet enough demand to print much translated (there is an English printing of the Disgaea starter, so far, but that appears to be it until demand improves).
