* ''[[Full Metal Panic]]'', which despite being set in an alternate history where the USSR never fell and terrorism is of the good old fashioned state sponsored kind, got the Type One treatment, with it's US premiere postponed for about a year following 9/11, just because it's fourth episode featured a plane being hijacked, despite the fact {{spoiler|that, the plane then landed safely and all it's teenage passengers where rescued by Mithril.}} So except the actual act of hijacking and airplane there was ZERO parallel with 9/11.

* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', which despite being set in an alternate history where the USSR never fell and terrorism is of the good old fashioned state sponsored kind, got the Type One treatment, with it's US premiere postponed for about a year following 9/11, just because it's fourth episode featured a plane being hijacked, despite the fact {{spoiler|that, the plane then landed safely and all it's teenage passengers where rescued by Mithril.}} So except the actual act of hijacking and airplane there was ZERO parallel with 9/11.

* In ''[[Eden of the East]]'', Mononobe's plans involve what's basically a copy cat crime version of 9/11. He noticed how those attacks brought people together in America, and so wants to recreate that effect via a [[False-Flag Operation]] which involves firing missiles at Japan and killing thousands of people. Oddly, the hero doesn't find the [[False-Flag Operation]] part an intrinsically bad idea- he just wants to create the same effect but without having to kill anyone.
