* Originally, [[Real Robot]] shows were ''[[Gundam]]'' clones. Then came ''[[Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'', which took the genre [[Trope Codifier|into more or less what we know today]], and finally things like ''[[Patlabor]]'' and ''[[Armored Trooper VOTOMS]]'' that went [[Mohs Scale of Sci Fi Hardness|for the very top of the hardness scale]].

* The ''[[Pokémon]]'' franchise spawned craze in Japan for anything with collectable monsters, that would later be immitated by series such as ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' (via the ''Dragon Quest Monsters'' series) and ''[[Telefang]]'' (which overseas was ironically sold as a bootleg ''Pokemon'' game, after being poorly translated). The collectable monster concept proved successful as a card game as well, when the Pokemon card game was released. This success would lead to ''Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters'' becoming extremely successful. The success of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' lead to imitators trying to get on the bandwagon of making a show about a game, so that kids will want to buy the real version. With so many shows like this out there nowadays, such as ''[[Duel Masters]]'', ''[[Beyblade]]'', ''Battle B-Daman'', ''[[Medabots]]'', ''[[Bakugan]]'', and ''[[Chaotic]]'' just to name a few, one could say that "Card Game Animes" have become a genre. They all feature a tournament arc, talking about what the game is "truly about", and posing dramatically while playing the game.
