Line 26:
* A particularly ingenious version of this is used in ''[[Martian Successor Nadesico]],'' in an inversion of its [[Show Within a Show]] relationship with ''[[Gekiganger 3]]'' -- it airs as an episode of ''Gekiganger'' in which its characters are watching ''Nadesico.'' It manages to [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] the [[Recap Episode]] when one of the ''Gekiganger'' characters complains that nothing new happens in them, and it's an excuse for the production company to take a break.
* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]] Extra Chapter: Galaxy Police Mihoshi's Space Adventure'' (a.k.a. ''Mihoshi Special'') is framed by Mihoshi telling the story to the other characters from the original [[OAV]] series. Most of the characters in the "inner" story are [[Alternate Continuity]] versions of them.
* ''[[Baccano!]]!'' uses this both in the anime and the first of the [[Light Novels]], though in different ways. The anime starts with the Vice President of the Daily Days and his young assistant trying to make sense the bizarre history of the last three years. The book starts with the ''conta è oro'' of the Martillo family ({{spoiler|eventually revealed to be ''Firo'' rather than the assumed Maiza}}) relaying the 1930 story to a Japanese tourist in the present.
* ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'' opens with a passage from Revelations which puts the actions of the series it parallels in a very different context.
* The story of the manga ''[[Not Simple]]'' is told as a reporter named Jim writes a book (also titled Not Simple) detailing the many trials of the protagonist's life.
Line 79:
* [[Stephen King]] used a nursing home and the narrator's old, ''old'' age to frame his re-entries into the serial story of ''[[The Green Mile]]''
* Also by [[Stephen King]], book 4 of [[The Dark Tower]] series, ''Wizard and Glass'', is a back story told by Roland to his group.
** Similarly, in the next book, ''Wolves Of The Calla'', we get a another story within a story. This time, it's Pere Callahan explaining the to [[Nakama|ka-tet]] what happened to him in-between ''[['Salem's Lot]]'' and now.
* All William King's ''[[Space Wolf]]'' novels are framed - the first two as his flashbacks because something reminded him, and the third as his recounting to [[New Meat|younger Marines]] an episode as an explanation.
* [[Michael Crichton]]'s ''[[The 13th Warrior]]'' is framed as an analysis of an ancient manuscript written by an Arab traveling to Scandinavia.
