Line 27:
* In ''[[Houshin Engi]]'', when {{spoiler|Taikobo}} is apparently killed, he finds himself in this sort of situation and wonders if this is what death is. However, it was something else entirely.
* ''[[Dragon Ball]]'': This is what happens to anyone killed by King Piccolo and his creations (until they're brought back at least), since they are creatures of pure evil. The first sign of Piccolo Junior's dangerously aproaching [[Heel Face Turn]] is that Goku and Raditz were allowed to pass on to the afterlife (King Kai's planet and Hell respectively).
* ''[[Nasuverse]]'': The concept of [[Akashic Records|The Origin]] is fundamentally similar to this, expounded on by ''[[
* In [[Mind Game]], this is where the souls of the dead are dumped by God (who is a [[The Gods Must Be Lazy|jerkass]] as God maintains his own all-white-and-bright personal space as an exception).
Line 90:
** The first episode establishes the series' [[Darker and Edgier]] cred right away by having a character brought back from the dead for one minute. Asked what he saw, he says "Nothing..." then, with growing horror, "Oh God, there's ''nothing''!" just before he dies for good.

** In the Series 1 finale, Annie (the ghost) {{spoiler|realizes she is about to "move on" when a literal door to the afterlife materializes. One of her friends asks her if the door leads to "something good, or... something else?" Annie replies, "I think it's something else."}}
** And in Series 2, after Annie {{spoiler|has been dragged through the door against her will}}, she complains of having to [[And I Must Scream|fill out forms]].
