Line 9:
{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Vandread]]'': the Nirvana (or more accurately its power source, the Paksis) is alive, but communicates more through feelings rather than words.
Line 32 ⟶ 31:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Firefly]]'': Played with in the final episode when River {{spoiler|tricks the bounty hunter Jubal Early into believing that ''Serenity'', the ship which is constantly anthropomorphised throughout the series, is actually alive, and that [[Sapient Ship|she has become a part of it]].}}
** The metaphorical meaning also applies - Whedon considered the ship to count as a main character (just ahead of River's feet).
* ''[[Stargate Universe]]'': ''Destiny'', the Ancient ship that's home to the main characters. While it's not actually sentient (we think), it had enough quirks and foibles to fall into the category within the first few episodes. For the first season, the ship navigates on its own and runs 90% of functions without the crew's input, based on parameters set by the Ancients that the main characters can't figure out. In season 2, we learn that the ship can affect brain waves to cause dreams and hallucinations.
