Line 31:
* Subaru over her idol, the title character of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''.
* ''[[One Piece]]:'' [[Dojikko|Major Sergeant Tashigi]] is pretty much fangirling on the inside over Zoro [https://web.archive.org/web/20131110151207/http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-097/page018.html on this page]. There's kind of a double-subversion going on, though. She immediately presumed he was a bad person upon finding out he was a pirate, but doesn't realize that Zoro is still a good guy, and is still all what she was squeeing over earlier and far, far more. To clarify a couple of key points: First, she thought Zoro was a bad guy even before finding out he was a pirate ([[Idiot Ball|because bounty hunters clearly are only slightly less reprehensible than pirates]]). Second, at that point in the story, ''she didn't know that the guy buying swords was Zoro''. Yeah...
** Also, the entire Straw Hat crew is shocked and excited when they find out the coating mechanic they hired is none other than [[Retired Badass|"Dark King" Silvers Raylegh]] the First Mate of Gol. D Roger himself. Robin most of all, as she has spent her whole life studying the Void Century, something Roger (and it seems, Raylegh) knew quite a bit about.
* Subverted in ''[[Death Note]]''. When Misa meets L, (giving Light the chance to get L's real name) at first he just stares at her thoughtfully and then, when he recognizes her, starts acting all fanboy-ish over the idol, drawing the attention of everyone around. It turns out that {{spoiler|he was suspicious of Misa beforehand and everything [[Batman Gambit|was part of a plan]] to steal her cellphone, thwarting Light's attempts to get his name and at the same time raising his suspicions about Light}}.
* In very early ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', the very first Sailor to appear is "[[Codename: Sailor V|Sailor V]]". Usagi often acts as a V fangirl, even after becoming Sailor Moon. (In several episodes she's shown at an arcade playing the ''Sailor V'' video game!) Eventually V is revealed to be Sailor Venus, who joins the other Sailors, prompting a few star-struck moments before things settle down.
Line 43 ⟶ 44:
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', Wild Tiger/Kotetsu T. Kaburagi is a rather vocal fan of Sternbild's first superhero, Mr. Legend. Ends up on a Broken Pedestal when Kotetsu is told that {{spoiler|once Legend's powers began to fade, the 'crimes' he foiled were actually set up by the TV show. One wonders what his reaction would be if he found out how ''bad'' Legend [[Alcoholic Parent|really]] [[Abusive Parents|got]].}}
* A villainous variant occurs in ''[[Fate/Zero]]''; Uryuu, the demented serial killer, accidentally summons Caster, and soon goes into total fanboy mode when he discovers that Caster is even more [[Complete Monster|enamored with disturbing violence]] than he is, and has various superpowers to assist in his creatively horrific mutilations.
