Line 8:
** The Funimation dubs of the ''Lupin III'' films and specials feature a lot of this.
* In ''[[Lucky Star]]'', Tsukasa's seiyuu [[Kaori Fukuhara]] said the directors encouraged ad-libs. Her famous "barusamiko-su"<ref>"Balsamic vinegar" -- Tsukasa's [[Verbal Tic]] in the anime</ref> line was one of those moments.
* According to legend, the names of the main characters (A-Ko, B-Ko, and C-Ko) in ''[[Project A-ko]]'' began because the creators couldn't think up good names for the characters, and started referring to them as A, B, and C during preproductionpre-production.
* In ''[[Durarara!!]]'', the kitty ears on Celty's helmet was originally a joke by Narita, but it was kept because the character designer really liked it.
* The ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' anime apparently has a lot of this too. France and England's seiyuusseiyuu Masaya Onosaka and Noriaki Sugiyama said in an interview that most of their characters's fights are ad-libbed.
* In ''[[Afro Samurai]]'', following the death of {{spoiler|Brother 1}}, Ninja Ninja's "eulogy" ("Add one mo' body to the body toll, may god rest this po' bastard's soul") was impromptu on [[Samuel L. Jackson]]'s part.
* The Japanese version of ''[[Sonic X]]'' used this a few times. There is a scene in "Super Sonic Appears" where it looks like Sonic is going to get killed. His robot servants ask him if Sonic will survive to which Eggman was meant to have stayed silent (in thought of whether he could actually kill Sonic or not) however the voice actor jokingly said (in Japanese of course): "Of course! No one ever dies in animes!" The other voice actors decided to just go along with the joke causing the scene below to accidentally get created; the show's makers found the scene so funnily 4th wall breaking that they ended up keeping it in.
{{quote| '''Robot 1:''' "Sir... will Sonic survive?"<br />
'''Eggman:''' "Of course! No one ever dies in animes!"<br />
'''Robot 2:''' "Animes?"<br />
'''Eggman:''' "Of course! [[Failure Is the Only Option|The good guy never gets killed in a anime and the bad guy like myself never wins. In other words, not matter how hard we try, the show makers will always make us lose!"]] }}
* In ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', during the ''Day of Sagittarius'' episode, each of the SOS-dan members was commanding a space fleet, and each of them was shown in a bridge filled with [[Bridge Bunnies]] of their own imagining ([[It Makes Sense in Context]]). Mikuru's crew (a bunch of stuffed animals) were lifted from doodles that [[Aya Hirano]] (Haruhi's seiyuu and occasional [[Cloudcuckoolander]]) had drawn in the margin of her scripts.
Line 22:
* On a whim, the artist of ''[[Busou Renkin]]'' decided to add a butterfly mask to the [[Big Bad]] of the first arc. This turns out to be fairly significant, as he is a recurring character, and the butterfly motif drives most of his personality.
* In ''[[Inazuma Eleven]] GO'', [[Hirofumi Nojima]] ad-libbed a [[Kiai]] as Kurumada, which sounded something like "shupoh!" It has since more or less become Kurumada's trademark exclamation.
* Phil Hartman reportedly ad-libbed most of Jiji's lines in the English dub of ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]''
** Mostly they wanted some sort of funny talking animal, but Miyazaki films aren't exactly known for those, so they let him go off at times when Jiji never said anything at all in the Japanese dub; it's not a total distraction, but it takes away from the more quiet mood the original dub gave.
** Likewise, John Ratzenberger's performance in the English dub of ''[[Spirited Away]].''
** Something similar happened in the English dub of Super Android 13. Androids 15, 14, and the titular form of Android 13 originally did not speak most of the time in the Japanese version (the only words ever spoken by either of them being Son Goku, and in the case of 15, Trunks). The dub actors evidentially ad-libbed a large amount of the dialogue.
