You guys have seen those Iceberg memes, right? The ones that go like this:
Basically, starting with fairly well known bits of trivia about a work before getting darker and more obscure over time, even delving into odd fan theories. I'm interested in a lot of anime-specific trivia and a lot of the Pokemon icebergs seem to prioritize the games. This got me thinking about what an iceberg specific to the anime would look like. I came up with quite a bit of stuff for the higher levels, but when it came to the truly dark and obscure, I was at a bit of a loss. I figured I'd post what I came up with so far here and it could make for a fun discussion.
1st level (super well known by fans):
-Electric Soldier Porygon
-Kiss with Serena
-The Legend of Dratini
-Beauty and the Beach
-Voice actor change
-Riceballs
2nd level (slightly less known):
-Sammy is Professor Oak
-The Birth of Mewtwo
-The Misty Lure
-The Kanzenban
-Pokemon Live
-Jynx censorship
-The mother/daughter in the movies
-"Aim for the horn"
3rd level (obscure but still real):
-Pokemon De English
-Pokemon 3D and 4D
-Pokemon Heroes blue tint
-Team Rocket vs. Team Plasma
-Barboach vs. Whiscash
-The Ash coma theory
-Lenora censorship
4th level (incredibly oddly specific and niche):
-"Porygon did nothing wrong"
-Hiroki
-Misty's/Jessie's mallet
-The T. Rex version of the third movie
-The original First Movie teaser/adult Misty
-Pikachu & Pichu is banned in Japan
5th level (obscure fan theories):
-Giovanni is Ash's father
-Alternate continuity Ash is a girl
