Has anyone considered doing a X-over/mega X-over of anime series using the same VA of that series as a main character.
Case in point:
Tomozaku Sugita
Considering, for the last 3 series that has aired and he's the main character (Shuffle!, Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi and Kanon), and being the same character. It's been bouncing in my head since I read "The Blunt Force Trauma of Suzumiya Haruhi".

I remember a lot of terrible Ranma crossovers based on the fact that female Ranma's VA is ubiquitous. Everything from the fanfic where Ranma and rei shared the same soul and downhill from there.
The number of Kasumi/Belldandy are the same person fanfics I've read makes me cry when I think about it.
But are you talking about fanfics where the VA him/herself appears? I can't think of any.

Hmm..I supposed that has been done.
Granted, Megumi Hayashibara and Inoue Kikuo had been prolific. But, they had played the different characters.
Even the Bell/Kasumi fics has a different in the matter of degree..
However,

If you watch Shuffle!, Suzumiya Haruhi, now Kanon (and quite possible the next season of Nanoha), the lead male has the exact same character...I mean, swap them around and the odds are no one would notice the difference.

If you want my recomendation, try, instead of VA's, similar character designs. I'd heard one very interesting meta-continuity idea that the reason many anime characters look similar is because of their 'actors'.

What!? Were you expecitng something witty?
You mean like Hikaru of Rayearth and Lina of Slayers being the same person?
Or Mai Tsurugino(Dont Lose! Makendo), Mia Alice(Dangaio), and that android girl from Zeorymer as the same person?--------------------

Silence of the Kawaii?
Or if you want to go the other way...every female character with the mad noblewoman laugh...from Naga the White Snake to Sumire Kanzaki to Kodachi Kuno (fanon?).
Can you imagine a synchonized laugh from all of them?

Well, some years ago I suggested (mostly tongue-in-cheek) a grand multi-crossover in which all the characters voiced by Kotono Mitsuishi shifted one universe to the left -- and since she's done a large number of characters including Sailor Moon, Misato Katsuragi, Excel Excel, Mink from "Dragon Half", Mireille Bouquet, Juri Arisugawa, Birdy from "Birdy the Mighty", and Ebichu the hamster, the possibilities for comedy were, I felt, endless...

... I can only begin to imagine what Juri would be doing in Ebichu's place... And vice-versa.

I remember that topic, I had a lot of fun reading it.

Oh yeah, that's definitely where it started. I think we worked it over again in another thread, but I haven't gone looking to confirm, though.

I've had an idea for years about a totally straight rewrite of the first ep of Evangelion.
With Mink picking up Haruka Tenou at the train, taking her back to NERV, where Haruka pilots the Evangelion to save the life of the terribly injured Lina Inverse...

Actually, I was thinking of her reactions to the shenanigans Ebichu's owner puts her though... But now that I do think about it, a sword would most likely come into play rather quickly.
