Line 159:
* General Hengel in ''[[Tentai Senshi Sunred]]'' takes on even the most boring of everyday tasks -- like buying furniture -- with an ''incredible seriousness'' and lightning effects in the background. His subordinate sees him as slightly loony, but is loyal nonetheless.
* ''[[School Rumble]]'' LIVES off this trope
** During the sports festival, the jousting tournament is accompanied by music that would have fit in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' or ''[[Star Wars]]''. [[AMV Hell]] 3 gives us School Rumble plus [[Star Wars|Duel of the Fates]].
** The Survival Game episodes were made almost in the style of ''[[Battle Royale]]''.
* ''[[Saki (manga)|Saki]]'' has [[Mahjong]] played with dramatic camera angles, speed lines, flashing lights, and gusts of wind. Being able to get plus-minus zero score every time is pretty awesome and somewhat inhuman, but that is just the beginning. It's not just dramatic music and lighting, this turns it [[Up to Eleven]] in ways you would not imagine. Winged creatures, transformation and ''lightning'' are only the '''beginning.''' Good luck understanding ''any'' of the actual mahjong play except through context, but it is frikkin' '''''epic'''''.
