Line 4:
''Please remember that some [[Book Ends]] can be spoilers.''
----
* In ''[[
* ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'' ends when {{spoiler|Tenma saves Johann from dying via shot to the head}}, an event that bears pretty obvious similarity to what started the whole thing.
* Near the beginning of the first episode of ''[[FLCL]]'', Mamimi offers Naota the rest of her canned juice, but he protests "You know I don't like the sour stuff," and eventually tosses it aside. At the end of the episode, after all the craziness with the giant robots coming out of his head, he gets another offer of sour juice, and this time takes a reluctant gulp.
Line 57:
* ''[[D.N.Angel]]'' begins with a reporter speaking into a camera as police run towards a building, then cuts to Dark and Krad charging at each other. The last episode of the series shows this scene again, indicating that in reality that scene was a flash forward.
* ''[[Somedays Dreamers]]'' begins and ends with Yume at Shibuya in Tokyo, one of the most crowded crossings in the world--with the marked difference that {{spoiler|in the end she has gained courage to cross it by herself}}.
* The final scene of ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'' takes place at the twin smoke stacks where Shu first met Lala Ru.
* ''[[Darker than Black]]'' begins with the police trying to catch Louis, a Contractor with gravity-cancellation powers. He gets away, [[Mook Horror Show|only to run into Hei]], who, despite Mao's protests, kills him. The first season ends with {{spoiler|Hei sparing someone who really deserved to die thanks to Kirihara's protests}}, then shows the police chasing a Contractor with the same gravity-cancellation ability Louis had- but this time they catch the guy by entangling him with cables shot out of a fancy new upgrade to their handguns.
* The second arc (and the first major storyline) of ''[[Dragon Ball]]'' is about Goku training for and competing in the Budokai. Several later arcs revolve around the Budokai. The anime is renamed ''Dragon Ball Z'' after Goku finally wins the Budokai and the story changes tone, and the manga ends right in the middle of a new Budokai.
