Line 11:
Compare [[Mood Whiplash]], which is a smaller version of this taking place in a single story rather than spaced out among multiple installments. [[Dude, Not Funny]] may occur if one character is lagging between transitions.

== [[Anime]]
* The ''[[Gundam]]'' franchise as a whole goes through this, with series varying from ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Zeta Gundam]]'' to ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]]'', to ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Victory Gundam]]'' to ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|G Gundam]]'', from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Gundam Wing]]'' to ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam SEED|Gundam SEED]]'' to ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00|Gundam 00]]'' to ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam AGE|Gundam AGE]]''.
** ''Zeta'' to ''ZZ'' is a miniature example in and of itself. [[Yoshiyuki Tomino|Tomino]] himself [[Word of God|said]] that ''Zeta'' was too dark and depressing, and thus made ''ZZ'' light-hearted because he felt that anime should make people happy. However, this seems to have resulted in over-correction, resulting in ''ZZ'' being very silly at the start before evening out later on, which has lead some fans to apply [[Fanon Discontinuity]] to just the early episodes.

== Literature ==
* ''[[Discworld]]'' has been going through this in later books, starting with the book-long [[Tear Jerker]] ''[[Night Watch (Discworld)|Night Watch]]'' and cynical ''[[Monstrous Regiment]]'', but the next book, ''[[Going Postal (Discworld)|Going Postal]]'', introduces us to a [[Loveable Rogue]] and a lighter tone. Next is the Nightmarish ''[[Thud!]]'', followed by ''[[Making Money]]'' and ''[[Unseen Academicals]]'', both of which are a ''lot'' more fun. This is then followed by the pitch-black ''[[I Shall Wear Midnight]]''. The series was wrapped up beautifully with ''[[Snuff]]'', which is also dark in bits, but has several heartwarming/tearjerking moments as well as [[Terry Pratchett]] says a long, extended goodbye to his wife (shown in small comments Vimes makes to Sybil and the dedication of the book).
