Imagine Spot: Difference between revisions

Line 44:

* Used several times in a row in an episode of ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'', when Nanami is trying to embarrass Anthy (and win Miki's affection) by planting weird stuff in her room. She envisions each ploy going off without a hitch, only to have them fail because Anthy is ''already'' keeping weird stuff in her room. And Miki finds it cute.

* Saitou Hajime of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'': [[Memetic Badass]], [[Inspector Javert]], [[The Comically Serious]]... and master of the [[Imagine Spot]]. He makes the "If Kaoru → Tanuki and Megumi → Fox, then Misao → Weasel" in one and images a broom shooing away a rooster when Chou and Sanosuke get into an argument.

** In the anime, after Saitou casually drops the fact that he's married (and the manga has to add a [[Not Making This Up Disclaimer]]), there's an Imagine Spot of Saitou reclining on the statue of a [[wikipedia:Bodhisattva|Bodhisattva]].

* Often used in ''[[Paradise Kiss]]''. In one instance, Yukari pictures a [[Love Triangle]] as a [[Duel to the Death]] between {{spoiler|Tokumori}} as a samurai and {{spoiler|Arashi}} as a ''[[Lupin III]]'' pastiche, for the love of {{spoiler|Miwako}} as a schoolgirl in [[Sailor Fuku]]. She notes it's only natural {{spoiler|Arashi}} won, after all, he had a gun.

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has quite a few, as well as a few Imagine Sketches from Haruna (or Nodoka's magic diary). In one notable instance, after Nodoka confesses to him, Negi imagines himself marrying her... ''without'' losing the [[Blank White Eyes]] he got from the revelation.

Line 56:

* Played '''with''' and played '''straight''' in the second episode of the ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' TV series -- when Keiichi mulls over what wish of his Belldandy should grant, he first imagines [[If I Were a Rich Man|life as a wealthy man]], then Belldandy, who's reading his mind the entire time, says she would gladly "give him more money than he could hope to spend in his lifetime". Then Belldandy says she could also grant the wish of wanting to destroy the entire world, "although [she] would prefer to not do business with that type of client." Cue Keiichi imagining a giant explosion levelling a city, with him off to the side, laughing evilly, in a monocle, a wiry mustache, and what suspiciously looks like a [[Those Wacky Nazis|Schutzstaffel uniform]].

* May Chang in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' (manga and second anime) is prone to daydreaming about the Elrics (first Ed, then upon [[Expecting Someone Taller|finding him insufficiently tall]], Al) with copious [[Bishie Sparkle]]. Already funny, it becomes downright [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] when [[Monica Rial]] was cast as her English voice actress, leading to ''many'' [[Ouran High School Host Club]] jokes among fans.

* Isaac and Miria of ''[[Baccano]]!'' have a ''joint'' one (fitting, considering their [[The Ditz|ditzy duo]] status) complete with [[Art Shift]] when they speculate with horror on Jacuzzi's fate at the hands of the mythical Rail Tracer. Which, by the way, they visualize as a giant green worm with fangs.

* Early on in the anime, [[Naruto]] fantasises about becoming Hokage and beating [[The Rival|Sasuke]].

* ''[[Ayane's High Kick|Ayanes High Kick]]'': We get to see one of these from Ayane when Kunimitsu makes a pitch to get her to join his dojo, declaring that she can become a champion. She sees herself in the middle of a ring with a pro-wrestling world title belt and a cheering crowd, unaware that Kunimitsu is actually referring to her becoming a champion ''kick-boxer''.

* Ryo has a few of these in ''[[Brass Restoration]]'', to amusing effect.

* Kareha in [[~~Shuffle~~]] has a tendency to go into these whenever thrilled about something possibly romantic. It unnerves the rest of the class, who refer to them as hallucinations. We never get to see what she is actually thinking at these times, [[Covert Pervert|perhaps for the best]].

* ''[[Fate/stay night]]'': In the Unlimited Blade Works Scenario, Saber argues about sleeping with Shirou in his room due to {{spoiler|his having been [[Brainwashed]] by Caster to go to her base the night before}}. Shirou stops himself from countering with his belief that {{spoiler|Caster won't try it again}} after he imagines Saber berating him for being such a [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]].

* In ''[[Kanon]]'', there's a rather... unique scene at lunch where Yuuichi is trying to imagine how Sayuri and Mai spend time together. Naturally, with the vastly different behavior and personality between them he finds it hard and eventually comes up with the idea that they're schoolgirl lesbians who then invite him to a threesome. Believe it or not, this is one of the times where Yuuichi refrains from speaking his mind.
