Line 18:
* The Megastructure in ''[[Blame]]'' consists of thousands upon thousands of post-apocalyptic wastelands stacked on top of one another and compartmentalized.
* The planet Chimera in ''[[Jyu-Oh-Sei]]''.
* Apparently the Gourmet World of [[Toriko]], as evidenced in Chapter 112. Seems to be a more hyper exaggerated form of the New World in One Piece, from the little we know about it so far. Rapidly changing climate and weather coupled with ungodly behemoths of destruction? Well, maybe just one night...▼
* Every Earthlike planet, save one, in [[2001 Nights]] is a Death World that eventually overwhelms the efforts of humans to colonize them: mind-altering spores, periodically being engulfed in firestorms, wasting diseases, and run-of-the-mill hazardous planets and animals. As a few characters occasionally point out, and as humanity learns to great ruin, a few decades is not enough time to fully understand the biosphere of an alien planet. And the one basically Earthlike exception to the mix {{spoiler|was actually terraformed at hideous expense, and even then said terraforming will degrade and collapse in a few centuries, rendering the planet uninhabitable}}. Oh, and even it has a few giant man-killing monsters.
* Earth becomes a death world in ''[[Blue Gender]]''. The only safety and civilization is in orbiting colonies, and only remains safe for those willing to train to die on the planet.
* Pretty much the entire world of [[Toriko]], as it is filled to the brim with animals that are strong enough to level cities (creatures are given capture levels, and monster with a capture level 5 or higher can topple tanks singlehanded and can't be taken out with conventional methods), the worst place being the Gourmet

* The titular planet in ''[[Hellstar Remina]]''. In addition to being a living planet that consumes other worlds, the surface of the planet is filled with horrible hostile flora, and the atmosphere is not only poisonous, but nightmarishly corrosive as well.
* Mercury in ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam the Witch from Mercury]]'' is established as one in [https://en.gundam.info/about-gundam/series-pages/witch/music/novel/ a short fiction on the official website] and alluded to being one in the series proper. True to reality Mercury is either ''extremely'' cold or ''extremely'' hot, and it's vulnerable to solar flares due to its proximity to the sun. Despite its hostility to life, humans have "colonized" it by putting space colonies in its orbit so they can use mobile suits to mine its resources. Suletta (the protagonist) and her widowed mother have managed to eek out a living as rescue pilots, establishing Suletta as a very capable pilot despite her [[Cowardly Lion|her personality]].
