* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' just before Shinji and Rei prepare to go snipe the angel, during which they muse about why they pilot the Evangelions, the binds they have with people, and Rei promises Shinji that he won't die because she'll protect him, ending the scene with "Sayonara" with a big full moon over her shoulder. The whole scene was very melancholy and introspective.
* One of the recurring songs in ''[[Beck Mongolian Chop Squad|BECK]]'' is "Moon on the Water". The song is in of itself a melancholic love song but in episode 5 when both Koyuki and Maho [[Skinny Dipping|skinny dip]] in the school pool they sing it song together under a summer full moon.

She has been alone ''[[Who Wants to Live Forever?|for the past 1700-years]]''.}} In one ending, she {{spoiler|dies, and Kei prosaically laments how Sakuya's soul is going to the moon.}}
* One of the various NPCs on Windfall Island in ''[[The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker (Video Game)|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]'' spends their nights gazing up at the moon. They also whine about how nobody can understand them. One of the sidequests involves taking a picture of a "perfectly round, pale object" as a test to see if Link truly understands them.
