Line 49:
** What this means is that Wily and Light are the most significant people in the Mega Man Multiverse. What they choose as their discipline ends up revolutionizing the world and completely changing society. It would be interesting to see what would happen if they were geneticists or rocket scientists....wait. No it wouldn't. You'd either get Warp Drive or Ricardo MontalBan.
* The [[Anime]] adaptation of ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'' differs significantly from the [[Manga]] - to the point that none of the events in the second season even happened in the original.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' is an Alternate Continuity of the [[Video Game|game]] and [[OVA]] ''[[Triangle Heart 3 ～sweet songs forever～|Triangle Heart]]'' where her brother and sister are [[Ninja]]-like bodyguards battling a terrorist group that killed their father ([[
* The ''[[Digimon]]'' series had at least six continuities.
** While ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' and ''[[Digimon Adventure 02|Adventure 02]]'' shared a continuity, one of the minor characters from 02, Ryou Akiyama, is also a prominent character in ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', which does not share a continuity with the two ''Adventure'' seasons. The continuity disconnect is not addressed in the English dub or even in the [[Anime]], but it is somewhat explained in the [[Video Game|video games]] made for the Wonderswan in Japan (which never made their way stateside).
Line 72:
* ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'' started as a [[Manga]] (now concluded after 17 volumes) that became the [[Anime]]. The [[Anime]] rearranged the order and details of some events, but maintained much of the same storyline. It ran for two seasons, but ended ''before'' the [[Manga]], leaving unresolved the primary [[Story Arc]] of whether Kaoru and Aoi will ever be able to publicly get together. Very roughly speaking, the [[Anime]] covers much of the events from volumes 1 to 12 of the [[Manga]].
* The ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' [[Fullmetal Alchemist (anime)|anime]] and [[Manga]] start off fairly similar, but begin to diverge more and more as they progress. [[Broken Base|Do not ask people which one is better]]. There is also a second [[Anime]] adaptation that follows the manga's continuity much closer than the first.
* The first half of the ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] are almost identical (barring a couple of [[
** However, the [[OAV]], titled simply ''Rayearth'', is an ''entirely'' separate continuity: the characters are all (mostly) there, and a few of the relationships survived, but aside from their names, their [[Elemental Powers]], and the existence of Cephiro and Rune Gods, the [[OAV]] has nothing to do with [[The Original Series]]. Not even the [[Power Trio|protagonists]]' personalities are the same.
* ''[[Ghost in the Shell]]'' has three alternate continuities: the original [[Manga]]; the first movie and its [[Sequel]]; and the Stand Alone Complex television series, with its own [[Sequel]] movie.
