Line 40:
* The Eva pilots in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' are all fourteen. [[Justified]] in that only children born after the Second Impact can pilot the [[Humongous Mecha|Evangelions]]. Also [[Subverted]] in the sense that ''Neon Genesis Evangelion'' is by no means a kids' show nor does it try to appeal to young children.
* In ''[[Violet Evergarden (anime)|Violet Evergarden]]'', Violet estimates that her age is around fourteen, although the series makes no effort to appeal to younger audiences. Violet's age allows the series to get dark quickly in episode nine.
* Mary Smith in ''[[Mary and the Witch's Flower]]'' is around this age gap, mature enough to go on adventures in the nearby [[Wizarding School]], but not mature enough to excel at it or fit in.
* In ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]'', the titular Nadia is the standard fourteen years old. This age is crucial here, as the series gets dark ''real quickly''.
