* The one-shot "sequel" chapter of ''[[Death Note]]'' looks noticeably different from the original manga, and often a bit sloppier. It's worth noting, however, that Takeshi Obata apparently may not have had a part in this.
** The anime adaptation had its fair share of QUALITY when it came time to adapt the second arc, though some examples were present in earlier episodes (with Misa being a notorious one). It seems that besides cutting the story up for anime format, [[They Just Didn't Care]] about how characters looked in some episodes. Misa and Mello were both hit badly with this, and Mogi and Aizawa even had their ENTIRE FACES disappear in a scene.
* ''[[Weiss Kreuz]]'' suffered terribly from Off-Model animation.<ref>This is the result of having a series co-produced by [[T MsTMS]] and [[Studio DEEN]]</ref> Not only do the characters' faces and hair length change from show to show, a character's sunglasses are at one point drawn off-model and subtly shift back to a more accurate design as the scene progresses. Characters wearing single earrings frequently have them switching from one ear to the other - or even to ''both''. The show seems to take a demented delight in going off-model to the extent it becomes distracting, and not only does the art quality vary wildly from episode to episode, it randomly degenerates ''in the middle of episodes'' as well.
* ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' is generally a very good-looking show, but the animation takes a hit in a few episodes, such as the final confrontation with Caster. And no discussion of "off-model" in the context of anime is complete without [http://web.archive.org/web/20071008195340/http://www.avg-hotgame.net/blogview.asp?logID=185&page=1 this ghastly Chinese figure of Saber], which fans have nicknamed "Sader". Much fun has been had with the idea of Saber encountering this thing. In fact, there's a whole [http://www.freewebs.com/aortic/fatekaranokyokai.htm doujin] about it ("Variant Tabi J").
* In the ''[[Lucky Star]]'' OP, when the four girls are talking and all you see is their legs, the normally [[Older Than They Look|significantly shorter]] (by half a foot) Konata has legs that are the same length as the other girls'. This has been spun off into at least one piece of fanart showing the full scene... where [[Scully Box|Konata is standing on a crate]].
