* The main conflicts in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' have shades of this, with the [[Hot -Blooded]] protagonists representing this trope while their opponents appear to be [[Nietzsche Wannabe|Nietzsche Wannabes]] {{spoiler|[[Well-Intentioned Extremist|there's more to them than that]], but they're still ''very'' depressed people}}.
* [[Crazy Awesome|Jack Rakan]] from ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima (Manga)|Mahou Sensei Negima]]''.

** Likewise, the only way to live on past your death is through others. [[The Power of Friendship|Might as well ensure that you can keep people smiling, even after you're gone.]]
** Indeed, many if not most atheists embrace this as their world view in place of any belief in a higher power or afterlife.
* [[Friedrich Nietzsche]]'s version of the Anti-Nihilist in particular is less of a "utilitarian" who works [[For Happiness]] and more of a "Let's [[The Ubermensch|live by our own rules]] while being [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arete |awesome]], [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtus_%28virtue%Virtus chr(28)virtuechr(29 )|manly/virtuous]] and [[Magnificent Bastard|magnificent]] at it". It should also be noted that he pointed out that a way to make life suck a little less could be through charitable acts (note that he didn't say that it would make you happy, just feel less angsty/guilty/whatever)
* There might be older instances of this trope that couldn't be properly called Nihilists, since they predate the movement, but they should go through a Discussion first, so as not to dissolve the trope into meaninglessness.
* [[Albert Camus]], despite [[The Stranger]].
