{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Slayers]] Try'' (1997) and ''[[Slayers]] Revolution'' (2008) -- 11 years.
* Both in-universe and out-of-universe, there was a Sequel Gap between ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' and ''Mobile Suit Z Gundam''. Real life: 7 years. In-universe, 5 years. This happened again later with Char's Counterattack, which came out 8 years after Z Gundam, and then after that, a couple of years later, came F91. Another, even bigger Sequel Gap is between [[Chars Counterattack]] and its direct sequel, ''Mobile Suit Gundam UC'', which had its first episode launched about ''17 years'' after CCA. The Universal Century certainly loves Sequel Gaps a lot.
Line 11:
* ''[[Gunbuster]]'' (1988–89) and ''[[Diebuster]]'' (2004-05) -- 14 years.
 
== [[Film]] ==
 
== Films -- Animation ==
* ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]] 3'', a gap of 11 years from ''2''.
* ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'' will be getting a prequel, ''Monsters University'' in 2013–12 years after it was released.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* ''[[Cat City]]'' (1986) and ''Cat City 2: The Cat of Satan'' (2007) -- 21 years.
* ''[[The Incredibles]]'' (2004) and ''[[The Incredibles 2]]'' (2018) -- 14 years.
 
 
== Films -- Live-Action ==
* ''[[Tron]]'' (1982) and ''[[Tron: Legacy]]'' (2010) -- 28 years.
* ''[[Wall Street]]'' (1987) and ''Money Never Sleeps'' (2010) -- 23 years.
Line 71 ⟶ 67:
* ''[[Top Gun]]'' (1986) and ''[[Top Gun: Maverick]]'' (2022) -- 36 years, though work was being done on it as far back as 2012.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* [[Vernor Vinge]]'s ''[[Zones of Thought|A Fire Upon the Deep]]'' came out in 1992; the sequel, ''[[Zones of Thought|The Children of the Sky]]'', was released in 2011 (19 years). ''[[Zones of Thought|A Deepness in The Sky]]''—set in the same universe but not a direct sequel—came out in the interim.
* [[C. J. Cherryh]]'s ''[[Cyteen]]'' and ''Regenesis'' (1988/2009) -- 21 years. Similar to the Vinge example above, Cherryh had other [[Alliance Union]] books come out between the two.
Line 98 ⟶ 94:
* The first two books in Leslie Barringer's [[Low Fantasy]] ''Neustria Cycle'' came out in 1927 and then '28. The third and final book was published 20 years after the second.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
 
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Bionic Commando]]'' (1988) and ''Bionic Commando Rearmed'' (2008) -- 20 years.
* ''[[Duke Nukem 3D]]'' (1996) and ''[[Duke Nukem Forever]]'' (2011) -- [[Duke Nukem Forever/Development History|15 years]]. There were a few games that played differently a few years after ''3D'', however.
