Line 115:
** The series runs off the trope.
*** The logical conclusion: Osaka's first scene makes even the simple act of ''walking into a room'' worthy of several dramatic close-ups and a [[Bishie Sparkle]].
** Tomo was [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlUJkykiASE once] so impressed with Osaka's yawning that she got all [[Hot -Blooded|hot-blooded]] about it and decided Osaka should open a "yawning dojo". [[Reality Ensues|It turns out]] that yawning practice on the roof in the afternoon is a great way to fall asleep...
* ''[[Black Jack (Manga)|Black Jack]]'' is to Medicine what ''[[Phoenix Wright]]'' is to Law. Never will you find more epic surgery prep than in this anime.
** ''[[Team Medical Dragon]]'' and ''Godhand Teru''. If these mangas are to be believed, performing surgery is the next most badass thing after being a ninja.
Line 140:
* The third episode of ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'' turns ''googling porn'' into a magnificently epic adventure on the high seas.
** Before that it made Satou ''looking through uncensored hentai game CG sets'' (and [[A Date With Rosie Palms|some other stuff]]) as astounding to the audience as it is to him by punctuating reaching the end with ''giant explosions''. Lampshaded when a note on the screen says this is an imaginary screen.
* Kyoko Mogami, the heroine of ''[[Skip Beat (Manga)|Skip Beat]]'', is prone to exaggeration and flights of fancy. For a talent demonstration, she opts to ''peel a radish'' with what amounts to ''[[Hot -Blooded|BURNING SPIRIT]]'', complete with [[Kiai|intense roaring]] and [[Open the Iris|dilated eyes]]
* ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'', where nearly every main character has a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSYIwS3NK9c different, epic, method to slide a card through their Digivice], complete with fancy card spinning and flipping, and kung-fu moves. The payoff comes in the form of two sequences which come close to being actually epic, including a split-screen triple slash, and the final one where all four mains slash the same card.
** There is a mega-crossover fanfic that included ''Tamers'' that lampshades this. One character slashes their card slowly and carefully to avoid damaging it, and nothing happens. The device explains to them that the effectiveness of a card depends on how quickly it is slashed. Hearing this, another character does a fancy spin before slashing, and their card is much more effective.
Line 196:
* [[Super Milk Chan]]. BELGIAN WAFFLLLLLSSSS!
* ''Comic Party'' ''is'' this trope. The entire plot centers around drawing and selling doujin, and about half the cast is constantly screaming about how awesome it is.
* ''[[The Legend of Koizumi]]'', in which ''all world politics are decided by mahjong''. At several points characters have set themselves on fire from sheer [[Hot -Blooded|hotbloodedness]] of playing mahjong. [[The Pope|The Vatican team]] refer to it as "man's attempt to recreate ''Genesis''".
** The pope does just this in his first match against the eponymous character. The resulting mahjong plays are so powerful that it causes koizumi to collapse and bleed from his eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
* ''[[Cyborg Grandpa G]]'' gives us dramatic ''farming.'' It doesn't help that Grandpa thinks that explosives and flechettes are appropriate farming tools... which actually does make it awesome.
Line 212:
** In episode 5, the ''most extreme'' slide ever. Seriously.
** A ''flying casino''.
* Might Guy and Rock Lee of ''[[Naruto]]'' ''live'' this trope. No matter how they are viewed by their fellow shinobi or how unnerving their appearances have become over the years, '''''[[Hot -Blooded|NOTHING CAN EXTINGUISH THEIR FLAMES OF YOUTH!!!]]'''''
** After a long and anticipated wait, ''Naruto'' brings you Kakashi Hatake vs Might Guy... at rock-paper-scissors.
* In ''[[Clannad (Visual Novel)|Clannad]]'', Akio is the main source of this, often grabbing things and drawing out a baseball bat in a dramatic way with [[Speed Stripes]], whoosh sound and all.
