* ''[[Ranma ½]]'': Girl-type Ranma being introduced to the Tendos, "I'm Ranma Saotome. Sorry about this.", etc.
* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': Shinji's "reunion" with his father, the battle with the Third Angel, etc. Many have described the EVA canon as one of the most stiff and rigid to bend for fanfic purposes without going to full blown [[Alternate Continuity]].
** Well, the Angels keep coming, on a preexisting schedule and with preexisting forms (the later ones evolve slightly to deal with prior ones' defeats, but that can't kick in until later). What else is going to happen? The only one that really averts this is [[Nobody Dies (Fanfic)|Nobody Dies]], which has the Third {{spoiler|killed somehow by Rei before the story even begins, in a manner that postpones the Fourth by a few years}}, and that's only possible because the diversion point is in the backstory of both the series and the fanfic.
** Even the official rebooted continuity, ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion]]'', hardly changes anything from the first six episodes - Evangelion 1.0/1.01/1.11 goes through the stations at a rapid pace, but still every one of them, with the only changes being some new and different [[Foreshadowing]]. Then the second movie comes along and everything goes completely and totally [[Off the Rails]] as far as the plot goes.
*** Even so, the second movie still keeps a number of major points. A lot of angels are skipped, but Unit 02 still appears high in the air spinning about, Unit 03 still does it's thing, Zeruel still pwns everything, and {{spoiler|Eva 01 still gets it's S2 Organ.}} It's hard to argue that these are the most important stations in the episodes the movie is made from. However, the individual twists to each, as well as all the stuff in between, have massive changes.
