A true anime shipper isn’t stopped by trivial details like two characters not living in the same universe. Sure, cross-series anime ships may consist of characters who never actually meet each other, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t a great match or that fans can’t enjoy thinking about them together. After all, fan fiction has spliced Twilight with Supernatural for years…

Have you ever watched an anime character suffer through something unimaginably dangerous then wondered how they could have possibly survived that?

There are a tonof anime characters that belong in other anime, and…
When most people talk about their favorite Naruto characters, their lists are full of Konoha shinobi.

One of the biggest problems with Naruto is how many side characters there are who don’t get the attention they deserve.
