Line 23:
* ''[[Outlaw Star]]'' episodes always start with an opening narration, some of which fall into this category; most of the rest are universe building or exposition.
* The ruminations about life and love that begin and end each episode of ''[[Boys Be]]''.
* Vash does a form of this in the [[Post Episode Trailer]] at the end of each ''[[Trigun]]'' episode. There are three exceptions: Meryl recites a capsule description of him for the trailer to the [[Recap Episode]]; Vash as a ''child'' does the narration for "Rem Saverem" (the [[Whole
* ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' is about 90% Kyon talking to himself.
** Koizumi's segments also tend to be this. Admittedly he usually has a relevant point eventually... but he has such a long-winded and tangential way of going about it that it still qualifies.
Line 30:
** This is far from the only instance of this in the series. In the confrontations against two [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] both the villains and the protagonists start ranting a mile a minute about things like free will, determination, hope, despair, responsibility, and everything the series goes for. They never say anything terribly original or deep, but it's presented as though both sides are profound.
* ''[[Glass Fleet]]'' features [[Fauxlosophic Narration]] from Michel before the opening credits of each episode.
* ''[[Code Geass (Anime)|Code Geass]]'' tends to do this during the [["Previously On..."]] segments that are part of several episodes. The musings are usually meant to comment on the different twists and turns of Lelouch's current situation or his eventual fate, but some end up sounding a bit repetitive or go off into philosophical tangents.
* ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'' would sometimes, albeit rarely, do this. One such involved Yumichika saying a rather obvious musing of "Compared to letting it fall apart, holding it together is so much more difficult", talking about why Renji should just forget about Rukia after her adoption into the Kuchiki clan. And the Bount filler arc spends almost the entire last episode talking about circles. And saying the same things about them. Repeatedly.
* ''[[FLCL]]/Fooly Cooly/Furi Kuri''. Naota usually begins each episode with some sort of semi-emo philosophical musings. He says several times throughout the six-episode series that "nothing exciting ever happens here. Everything is ordinary", which is clearly not the case, what with the fighting robots and such (though this is probably meant to be ironic).
Line 138:
* ''[[Andromeda]]'' opened with the text of a different quote (usually at least bordering on this trope), sometimes real ones from actual real-world sources, often from some in-universe source.
* ''[[Godivas (TV)|Godivas]]'' used this to open and close each episode, even though the monologues (which were often food-related in keeping with the show's setting) rarely had anything to do with the story.
* In the ''[[
