* It's not dialogue, but when ''[[
* In-universe example in ''[[Midori Days]]'': Seiji and his gang of delinquents get hired to play minor parts in a movie starring their favorite actor. During the final scene, the hero is mortally wounded. The boys are supposed to have a big mourning scene as he dies, but get a little ''too'' into the moment, and beat the crap out of the guys who "shot" him in revenge first. The director decides to keep it.
* Because most anime is animated first and then dubbed to fit with ADR, in contrast to the Western practice of recording the voice first and then animating to the voice, there is a tendency for dialogue to be more ad-libbed.
** When [[Norio Wakamoto]] was brought in to record the voice of Chiyo-chan's "father" in ''[[
* When Jan Valentine in the ''[[Hellsing]]'' OVA storms into the Council of Twelve's meeting room and faces a dozen weapons pointed in his direction, the original seiyu doesn't say anything before being shot. The English dub VA however ad-libs in a hilarious 'Oh f*ck me' comment.
* The ''[[Lupin III]]'' special "Crisis in Tokyo" isn't a particularly funny movie in the native Japanese, but the dub had a ton of ad-libbing done by the actors (though not to the point of it being a [[Gag Dub]]), particularly Christopher Sabat who voiced Jigen. It worked, it's one of the funniest Lupin movies ever released in the states.
** 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
* 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 ''[[
* In ''[[
* 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.

Line 19:
* 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.
* According to ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'''s scriptwriter, Nishida Masafumi, Origami Cyclone's habitual photobombing tendencies were something that he suggested to the producers as a joke. He was surprised that they agreed with the idea.
* In ''[[
* 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.
