Line 20:
* The infamous [[Elseworld|Schoolyard Comedy]] sequence in the final episode of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. It's up for debate whether Shinji's fantasy world was a real possibility or just [[Lotus Eater Machine|an Instrumentality-induced illusion]], which is probably [[Mind Screw|intended]].
* In the anime ''[[Mai-HiME]]'', Mai experiences this at one of her lowest points courtesy of another HiME's powers. Her temptation is an idyllic life free of the many tragedies that have afflicted Mai's thus far but she rejects it for harsh reality. (And mind you, this is not even her ''last'' temptation; that would be [[End of the World Special|the temptation to remake the world to her liking]], which she eventually rejects as well.)
* This happens to [[Tenchi Muyo]] near the end of ''Tenchi In Tokyo'', in which the temptation is to be with his girlfriend Sakuya forever in a [[Lotus Eater Machine|dream world]] after she was [[Ret
* In the last episode of ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'' Setsuna creates a picture perfect world in which there are no angels fighting, Sara is not his sister and mass destruction has not occurred. It doesn't last long, of course.

* ''[[Gao Gai Gar]]'' has this happen {{spoiler|during the TV Series has Gai being shown a vision of himself awakening from a two year coma. He of course breaks free using the power of [[Hot
* [[Mahou Sensei Negima]] has Evangeline trying to convince Setsuna to give up her swordsmanship in favor of living the life of a normal girl. [[Take a Third Option|It doesn't go as planned.]] ''[[Alternate Character Interpretation|Maybe.]]''
*** In chapter 296, {{spoiler|Zazie<ref>(or her sister)</ref> appears to be springing a [[Lotus Eater Machine]] version on one or more of the members of Ala Alba, giving them all their greatest desires, and the only way to escape is to reject it. What does Negi experience? [[Tear Jerker|He finally gets to be with his parents]].}}

** Unusually, the vision may have had an effect on The Doctor, as it's quite likely WHY {{spoiler|the Family received their fate worse than death}}.
