* Happens in ''[[Berserk]]'', when Griffith and Guts pass each other on horseback during a battle. This actually foreshadows {{spoiler|that they end up as enemies}}, but ''[[Berserk Abridged]]'' has another, hilarious take on it, flashing "Totally straight moment!!!" as they pass.

* A variety appears in ''[[Blue Drop]]'', when the car Mari is in passes Hagino, who stands amidst a huge swarm of terns, leading to a wonderfully drawn out moment when their eyes meet.

* In one of the many nicely shot sequences in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]: The Second Raid'', Kaname Chidori is walking down a Tokyo street, nervous because she knows her soldier/student companion Sousuke Sagara is no longer in town to protect her. Among the crowd passing Chidori we suddenly spot a psychotic female Chinese assassin introduced in an earlier episode. Chidori, who has never met the woman, looks around, terrified for no reason she can discern. As she flees, the assassin watches her, planning her murder.

* Inanimate variation in ''[[Usavich]]'': As Kirenenko runs by a television screen showing [[MacGuffin|the sneakers of his dreams]], time slows down and sexy jazz music starts playing.

* Quite a few times in ''[[Darker Than Black]]'', although never in slow-mo. It's typically when someone's been chasing the assassin BK-201 and their car roars around a corner towards where they saw him [[Stealth Hi Bye|disappear]], passing the innocuous-looking Li in the process.
