I compiled this list because Gojyo and I were talking about “canons that could cross over,” and because Hikaru recognized Sakuraba. The ones that first came to mind were ones like Ouran, HanaKimi, and CLAMP Campus Detectives. But if you give a mouse CLAMP Campus Detectives he’s going to want to cross over with X-1999, and why the hell not? So the

Runaways takes place in the same universe as the rest of Marvel's stuff; that is, Spiderman and Wolverine appear in it as characters, so I think it would have to qualify as fictional. Clueless and Bevis and Butthead also cannot crossover because there's a scene in Clueless where Josh and Cher watch the show. And Arrested Development canonically has Veronica Mars as fictional.

I don't know what to do about those (technically, the FMA anime can't exist in Ouran because they make jokes about FMA. I guess that means Ouran exists in a perfect world for some FMA fans; who knows?). In the end I left both of them on because I can't call which ones are more real than the others.

Yeah, the confusion is just...confusing.

[second_daddy]

Damn you, fandoms of the world.

Canon is really, really vague on the topic, but I am making the call that DMC happens in an entirely different universe. We have a beneavolent demon lord instead of Jesus, and 2500 year-old towers burried under New York and "normal humans" who can fire a rocket-launcher one-handed. Arguably these are all just plot-holes but I think they add up enough to say that DMC is 100% it's own world.

[second_daddy]

Okay!

Considering that FMA anime and manga are so different, I'd put in two seperate entries since we have representative of each. The Anime/Movie connects to the real world via portal. The manga... we don't know. Other than the fact that they speak english there isn't anything to suggest it's Earth, but it is still a possibility?

Trigun is a future Earth but couldn't share with, say, Les Miserables since Vash would recognize that as fiction. Same with other major fictional characters like Superman/Batman etc.

Firefly, now that I think about it, COULD share a canon with Trigun if not for the fact that they don't have PLANTs >D (that's idle)

Not sure if any of that is what you're looking for but it's what I got.

[second_daddy]

Yeah, that's why I put it in italics and small fonts. XD

Batman and Superman are out because they come from a world in which the common person knows magic/superpowers exist -- clearly not our world. But for Trigun and Les Miserables... like I told Buffy, there's no way to say "Your canon is more real than his canon." I'm not trying to line them all up in a "they could exist" way (as fun as it would be to have multiple types of attacking aliens, four kinds of giant robot, and hermaphrodites all in the same world), just writing them up. But that does prove the general uselessness of this list beyond things like "the rich Ouran kids might have heard of the prestigious Sohma family," etc.

Wait, what are PLANTs in Trigun?

WHY IS TAMAKI SO CUTE icon instant fatality.

PLANTs are, basically, living power sources. They live in giant lightbulbs wich harness their energy which can be used to do just about anything (maintain/stop gravity, fertalize the soil, produce food and water, make giant ass ray beams, probably even manipulate the weather). They look like very organic female angels. Vash is an evolved version of a PLANT, he was actually born and can live outside a lightbulb on his own. He and Knives are the only known male PLANTs.

I USE THESE ICONS TO BREAK PEOPLE.

Huh! In SEED, PLANTs (Productive Location Ally on Nexus Technology or People Liberation Acting Nation of Technology. Neither makes sense) are giant space colonies that look like hourglasses floating around on a stick. They have solar panels for energy gathering and, uh, people live in them and make stuff. I have to wonder if that was stolen from Trigun.

It didn't occur to me until breakfast this morning, but ROD the TV parallels real life in terms of literature, but historically is very much different. They have this guy named Gentleman whose special ability is, apparrently, "Britain becomes the main world political superpower." So in their timeline the British Empire was huge and still in power until something like 2000, 2001? I'd need to check.

...

Yeah, that's pretty AU. 8D

Hunter x Hunter is a whole separate world, except it has Japan (there's a cooking challenge where a cook Hunter asks everyone to make sushi for her, and everyone except one person who hails from Japan goes "huh? What the hell is sushi?" and they have to figure out how to make it by clues like utensils and stuff |D ), so, uh. I DON'T KNOW. It's probably an alternate universe Japan with crazy monsters. XD
