The next big anime crossover?

I read a few weeks back that the Detective Conan and Lupin III series would be crossing over in a movie this year. I'm a big fan of franchises crossing over, whether it be a game like Kingdom Hearts or a movie like The Jetsons Meet The Flintstones. I was wondering which ongoing series you would like to see crossover. For me, personally, I would like to see Naruto crossover with Pucca. I know Pucca isn't an anime series, but both shows showcase ninjas, comedy, big fight scenes and interesting characters. I don't know, I just thought it'd be cool to see the title characters either team-up or fight each other. Which series would you choose? And please, feel free to make fun of my chose below.

My main exposure to Detective Conan was the Case Closed series and I honestly can't quite wrap my mind around Lupin and Conan crossing paths. It is just weird, like watching the trailer of a high profile movie you believe in your gut is destined to fail.

It would be interesting to see how they would work out a storyline with Conan and Lupin together. considering they would have to have both succeed in the movie. which would be somewhat tricky to pull off.

I find crossovers only work well if either the characters seem like they would be from the same "world" (such as the Conan/Lupin crossover) or a complete re-write (like Kingdom Hearts or the DBZ/One Piece manga one-shot). Something like BerserkxClaymore would be quite epic in scale, the sword fights alone would be awe inspiring. How about a Kure-nai/Nabari no Ou crossover where Yayoi introduces Shinkuro to the ninja world? Personally I've always wanted to know what would happen if the worlds of Macross and Gundam united, nothing bad I would think.
