Weird anime associations

[Ingemar]

Have you ever associated anime characters in non-sequitur positions? If you don't understand what I mean, I will give you some examples:

• Imagining characters lip-synching or replacing singers in music videos (i.e. Hatori lip-synching to Seal's "Prayer for the Dying" vid instead of Seal himself)
• Himura Kenshin as a bass player
• Takuto as the main character of 24

And it gets worse. Having watched episodes of Fate/Stay Night, I imagine Saber as the lead guitarist to a band with a Chasidic Jew on rhythm guitar, a knight on bass, a "stereotypical 19th century East Indian" on drums and a vocalist who is too weird to describe. I am not making this up.

I've once imagined Shinobu (Love Hina) and Rin (Inuyasha) being rappers.

I once dreamt that Hamtaro and crew were part of the cast of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, if that's what you had in mind.

[Ingemar]

That is dead on, Mel.

I could sorta see Shinobu and Rin as rappers. On a slightly unrelated topic, I see there are quite a bit of Rins in anime-dom as there are quite a bit of Sakurae and Kagurae (sorry for the somewhat Latinized pluralization. And the American spelling).

Yeah, I would gather they're roughly the Japanese equivilant of the American Emily, Katie, and Sara[h].

Hmmm. How about Miyuki and Natsumi (of You're Under Arrest) on NYPD Blue?

Ooo. Maybe not. Never mind.

*Rin is in the drivers seat of her car wearing a black sweatshirt and baggy black jeans, listeing to 50 Cent*

Rin: *turns around* Yo! Shinobu!

*Shinobu walks up to her "homegirl" wearing sunglasses, a red basketball jersey with a white T-Shirt underneath and blue baggy jeans*

Shinobu: Wat up, dawg?

Rin: Not much yaw. Jus' chillin' like a villian.

Shinobu: Word.

*sees Sesshomaru and Keitaro walking down the street*

Rin: Yo! Check out those guys!

Shinobu: Whoa! They're fine!

*Rin honks at them*

Rin: Hey fellas!

Shinobu: Over here!

*Sesshomaru and Keitaro roll their eyes*

Sesshomaru: Immature children...

Keitaro: You said it.

*Sesshomaru turns to see Keitaro*

Sesshomaru: Do I know you?

Keitaro: Uhhh...eep! *runs away*

I have also imagined Inuyasha and Kenshin being rockers. ^_^;

Er, i visualized yuki and/or kyo in my wedding...as you know, the groom. ^_^;; does that count?

[Android raptor]

Well, I used to think of Ghinius, Shiro, and Eledore (08th Team) in a Nirvana-like band AS A JOKE. Ghinius is like Kurt, Shiro is like Krist, and Eledore is like Dave. Thankfully, I got over it, for it was too weird...

This may not be what you had in mind exactly, but a few years back there was a local headline: "No Need for Tax Cuts" Says Senator.

My first thought was "Tenchi Muyo goes to Washington"

My friend and I associate anime characters with food, just for fun, and for some reason we decided that "a piece of tempura shaped like a fetus" fit Minamoto Raikou from Tactics best.

[Tarnish]

Hmm...no, not anime.
But once, I heard a song and a dancing moogle popped into my head...
