Funny Aneurysm Moment/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

** Perhaps an even bigger and worse one is much of volume 9 in the manga. Volume 9 is about Shuichi being Shanghaied to New York to perform for a new record label. During one of the last major climaxes, as Shuichi and company flee from his new boss, Reiji, in order to return to Japan, part of New York City gets the ever-loving crap blown out of it. Later, though it's on a plane headed for Japan, hi-jinks once again ensue, including K busting into the cockpit and shooting (with non-lethal rounds) and bounding the pilots and taking control of the plane. Volume 9 was released in Japan on January 2000, over a year before 9/11. This is made even more jarring when the reader is treated to a nice shot of the New York skyline, which includes the World Trade Center, when Shuichi first arrives to New York City.

* An episode of ''[[Rozen Maiden]] Traumend'' has Kanaria refer to the doll Barasuishou as "Bara-Bara". In Japanese, the word "barabara" means "dismemberment/breaking apart". {{spoiler|Barasuishou's body collapses horrifyingly in the last episode}}.

** King Bradley's origin, and the fact that his life has been on the path it's been on, takes on new meaning when you see that the "Birther" conspiracy honestly believes something similar happened with Barack Obama.

** Fortunately, as of 2008, it seems that, following the 'surge' in Iraq, the total annihilation angle seems to have been averted. So it's only until the end where [[Truth in Television]] holds.

* In the ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' anime, Hughes tells Mustang to hurry up and become a brigadier general, to which Mustang replies, "that's easy for you to say". {{spoiler|Hughes gains two ranks and becomes a brigadier general after he is killed}}.

** A [[Running Gag]] in the series is [[Playing With Fire|Mustang]] being rendered useless by rain (or getting wet in general) since he can't create flames with wet gloves. Hawkeye doesn't hesitate to remind him of that he is "useless when it's raining" whenever it happens. {{spoiler|In the aftermath of Hughes' funeral, he bitterly comments, [[Sand in My Eyes|"It's raining..."]]}}

*** Note: That last example is anime-only. The manga vs. of Envy's true form might be an FAM compared to the anime, though.

** Also, during a flashback of the Ishval conflict, Mustang jokingly tells Hughes that the [[Genre Savvy|soldiers who never stop talking about their girlfriends back home]] [[Fatal Family Photo|always end up dying]]. {{spoiler|You've probably figured out what happens to Hughes by now.}}

** One case in the late '90s involved a girl meeting people in an online group, arranging to meet up with them in person, not knowing any of them except online, finding out that some of the 'men' in the group were actually female and vice versa, then becoming trapped overnight with these strangers. :::shudder:::

** Detective Conan has a massive Funny Aneurysm with the fifteenth movie. First, they released a trailer that showed a massive amount of water bearing down on a helpless village and violently tearing away a bridge. Then, a few days later, the 2011 earthquake happened. [[Too Soon|The version on the official website and promotional images were quickly edited.]] Then a month after the earthquake the movie was released, and it turned out that no one actually died due to the heroic actions of Conan, giving the whole thing a feel of tragic irony.

** Another example: near the end of both anime series, {{spoiler|Negi forms a Pactio with all the members of his class.}} This sounds funny until you realize that {{spoiler|this includes Chao Lingshen, who is revealed later in the manga to be Negi's ''[[Squick|distant descendant]]''.}}

*** Then again, if there are two or more generations between them (which there probably are), then she's no closer than a cousin, genetically speaking. And in Japan, [[Kissing Cousins|it's okay for cousins to marry]].

* Early on in the ''[[Xxx Holic (Manga)|Xxx Holic]]'' manga, Yuuko dramatically [http://www.onemanga.com/xxxHolic/53/02/ pretends to be dead] from the heat, and Maru and Moro even set up a fake crime scene investigation. This becomes much less funny when it's revealed that {{spoiler|she's been [[Dead All Along]]}}.

** Also, a critic commented that {{spoiler|Yuuko looked like "a sexy zombie" when she appeared on the covers of one of the DVD box set}}. This, likewise, is not as funny as it once was when one takes into consideration that she ''was'' {{spoiler|dead}} at the time.

* For an in-show example, in an early episode of ''[[Oban Star-Racers]]'', Molly states that she would rather fall into a bottomless pit than listen to him (the 'him' being Don Wei). {{spoiler|In the race directly after she and her father have a long-overdue discussion when Don reveals that he now realizes she's his daughter, Eva, the Whizzing Arrow is badly damaged and plummets down the almost bottomless canyon.}} Oops.

* In ''Challengers'', Souichi is violently homophobic after an incident several years before where a professor tried to rape him, only to be narrowly saved by Morinaga. When Morinaga finally comes out of the closet to Souichi and confesses his own love, Souichi manages to get over his homophobia enough to keep Morinaga around as a friend and lab assistant, and Morinaga proudly tells another friend later that he's "proven that not all homosexuals are Satan's rape demons." Cue spin-off manga ''[[The Tyrant Falls in Love]]'', where the overarching conflict is set up by Morinaga taking advantage of a drugged but very aware Souichi...

** "I like using poison to kill because it's a gentle death" {{spoiler|becomes a lot less funny when (in Meakashi-hen) Rika is injected with the cure for the Hinamizawa disease that she'd intended to use on someone else, which gave her an allergic reaction since she is the carrier, leading to her being weakened and committing suicide so she wouldnt be tortured to death.}}

* In the dub of ''[[Keroro Gunso]]'', an episode revolves around Natsumi acting in a play involving Peter Pan and a serial killer Captain Hook. Dororo mentions off-stage as Keroro plays Captain Hook "I thought the lost boy he wanted to kill was Corey Haim" ...a month a half after the DVD released...

* ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Hetalia World Series]]'' is poking fun at everyone in a general area but the episodes set in Greece's land show him [[Perpetual Poverty|as apparently living homeless among cats, finding places to sleep among stone ruins, and wishing he were a cat "to not have to think about GDP and trade imbalance."]] With protests in the streets and a nigh-revolution going on over there right now over the economy... Meeep.

* When [[Monster (Anime)|Nina]] first receives the romantic-sounding email from the man "born to smother her with flowers," she laughs at it as a perceived attempt of her [[Butt Monkey]] friend to seduce her. When, in retrospect, it is revealed that the sender is her own brother, the romantic subtext initially seen becomes truly cringe-worthy.

* In episode 6 of ''[[Peacemaker Kurogane]]'', Nagakura Shinpachi accuses Vice-captain Yamanami of cheating during a footrace by turning abaci into rollerskates, and demands (jokingly) that he commit [[Seppuku|seppuku]]. {{spoiler|Yamanami is [[Doomed By Canon|Doomed by History]] to end his Shinsengumi career by committing seppuku.}}

** Similarly, in an early episode of the anime, Okita walks in on Hijikata making medicine, and jokingly states that no one will have to worry about catching colds. {{spoiler|Okita will later die of tuberculosis. }}

* In the early episodes of [[Nana]], Nana Komatsu gets paranoid about her boyfriend, Shouji, {{spoiler|cheating on her for a girl named Sachiko,}} complete with exaggeration that makes it hard to take her seriously. {{spoiler|Guess what happens a few episodes later for real.}}

* In ''[[Bakuman｡ (Manga)|Bakuman｡]]'', the strain of working on manga while in school is not portrayed completely seriously at first, with the characters falling asleep in class to catch up on sleep. Later on, though, Mashiro gets hospitalized for pushing himself too far.

* Part 6 of Hentai manga [[Secret Deep Plot]] involves the main characters going to a beach north of Tokyo which is deserted due to everyone's worries about the nearby [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_Daiichi_nuclear_disaster nuclear power plant]. Gyaa.

* During episode 4 of [[Lucky Star]], there's a scene where Kagami, Tsukasa, and Konata are talking about kidnappings that had been going on. At the end of the scene, Kagami tells her friends that if they ever did anything horrible, she'd tell anyone who asked that she knew all along that they'd do something like that. Come the horror fanfic [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5246822/1/Ahoge Ahoge], in which Tsukasa kills Konata with an ax. Kagami then spends the next few days holed up in her room (obviously speaking to no one), before [[Driven to Suicide|hanging herself with the garden hose]].

** Interestingly, this plot thread may have been born when Nadeko's voice actress, [[Kana Hanazawa]] said in an interview with Nisio Isin that she had always wanted to voice {{spoiler|an evil character.}}

* ''[[Dragonball]]'' had Goku being nicknamed by his friends as "monkey-boy" in reference to his monkey-like tail. With ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', however, and the frequent use of the term "Monkey" towards Goku and the other Saiyans by Frieza and his men, his friend's nickname for Goku sounds awfully racist in retrospect.
