* ''[[Sky Girls]]'' has nanomachines as the focus of the entire story. [[Monster of the Week]]? Nanomachines originally built to cure medical problems gone rogue. Pilots wearing [[Latex Space Suit]]? They are protected by nanomachine armor that only lasts ten minutes <ref>or twenty nine minutes, depending on which version you're watching</ref>. The weapons that the Sonic Divers carry? They are all nanomachine bullets.
* ''[[Strike Witches]]'', a show quite similar to ''[[Sky Girls]]'', features the alien [[Grey Goo]] version of this as ''all'' of the [[Monster of the Week|Monsters of the Week]].
* [[Theme Naming|Foo Fighters]] from ''[[
* In ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]'', nanomachines are widely used. In the first season, one of the potential treatments for cyberbrain sclerosis is based on nanomachines (although it isn't very effective). One episode also mentions that nanomachines are used to counteract air pollution. ''2nd GIG'' introduces the "Japanese Miracle"; a nanomachine-based technology for neutralising radioactive fallout from nuclear explosions.
** Though, being written before "nano" became a popular buzzword they're called ''micro'' -machines.
Line 167:
* ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'' and its sequels use nanomachines for ''everything'', from transmissions to healing bleeding wounds to {{spoiler|aiding in a fake possession}}.
** [[Parrot Exposition|Nanomachines?]]
** In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty|Metal Gear Solid 2]]'', Raiden actually has all of his ''blood'' replaced with ''synthetic blood teaming with nanites''. Never mind the actual viability of that particular gruesome mashup, this is what allows him to interact wirelessly with nerds. Uh, nodes. This is actually perfectly viable, or at least it should be in the next few decades. [http://www.kurzweilai.net/meme/frame.html?main=/articles/art0468.html Current designs] project replacing even 10% of your blood with these machines could allow you to go hours without ''taking a breath''.
* Vanilla H's healing ability in the ''[[Galaxy Angel (video game)|Galaxy Angel]]'' games comes from nanomachines. This works on both ships (her Angel Wing, Harvester, is a living nanomachine colony) and people (with her pet, a catlike living [[Lost Technology]]). Vanilla is one of the very few people that can pull this off, and became an [[Emotionless Girl]] as a side effect of honing her skills. Nano-Nano Pudding, from the later games, is another living [[Lost Technology]], this time a [[Catgirl]]. Like Vanilla's pet, she too is constructed from nanomachines.
* In the ''[[Galaxy Angel (anime)|Galaxy Angel]]'' anime, none of this is mentioned at all, and Vanilla's powers may or may not come from a magical bead.
