* For all ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'' is a great story, physics were never its strong suit. Maria freezing Hanon and her being fine fifteen minutes later is a bit of a glaring example. Maybe mermaids can survive freezing...
* Happens in an episode of ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]''. The spirits of two Genbu Seishi encase Miaka in a block of ice as a test to see is she's really the Priestess of Suzaku. {{spoiler|She is and is saved by what they claim is "Suzaku's Flames"}}. Could be considered Justified as both the freezing and 'thawing' was magic.
* During the [[Final Battle]] with [[Person of Mass Destruction|Phoenix King Saffron]], Ranma from ''[[Ranma One Half½]]'' turned the freezing power of the Gekkaja on himself. The weapon froze him solid, allowing him to survive through Saffron's mountain-vaporizing heat beam --which thawed him almost instantly afterwards. The art isn't very clear on how complete the freezing was, but consider this: the Gekkaja can turn multi-ton chunks of rock into solid ice just by touching the ground, and Ranma's clothes and hair were still covered in ice despite being hit head-on by the Imperial Annihilation.
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Asuna is frozen solid by [[An Ice Person|Evangeline]], who did so because Asuna managed to strike her, and breaks out within ten minutes of her own struggles and her friends hitting the twelve-foot crystal she'd become. [[Meta Guy|Chisame]] [[Lampshade Hanging|pointed out]] how above-human their fights had become, wondering if Asuna was actually alive. Eva later commented on how the spell that should have lasted for ten years, and congratulates Asuna on surviving it and scoring a hit. To be fair though, this might just be because of her anti-magic abilities.
* Played straight in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' when {{spoiler|Rein encases Lutecia and Agito in a giant hunk of ice. They wind up escaping by blasting a hole through the ground,}} which is a bit [[Fridge Logic|head-scratching]].
