== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'', Shu and Lalaru watch the sunset as on three occasion, the first time when they first met, the second time when they escaped Hamdo's fortress and the third time {{spoiler|Lalaru disappears from existence.}}
** Also, Lalaru said that she likes watching the sunset.
* In a ''[[Bleach]]'' filler episode, Toushirou likes to hang out in a place that has the best view of the sunset because it reminds him of his childhood days spent with Momo, where they eat watermelons while watching the sky.
Line 26:
== [[Film]] ==
* Luke Skywalker [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEUGF3NGbPg watches the twin setting suns] of Tatooine in ''[[A New Hope]]'' while [[Crowning Music of Awesome|the Skywalker]] [[Leitmotif]] plays in the score, establishing Luke's longing to leave and do great things but being tied down by a sense of duty to his uncle.
** Also appears in ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'', as Yoda, Palpatine and the rest watch the Clone Army's ships lift off against an ominous sunset -- basicallysunset—basically a visual shorthand for "It's all [[Downer Ending|downhill]] from here".
* ''[[Aladdin (Disney film)|Aladdin]]''
* In ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'', when Ariel sees the sun is near setting, and her contract to be human will have failed, she decides to take some action.
Line 41:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* In ''[[Angel]]'', the eponymous hero had [[Ring of Power|a ring that made the wearer invincible]]. He destroyed it, but not before wearing it for a full day, finally crushing it after the sun set.
* In ''[[Babylon 5]]'', the episode ''Sleeping in Light'' shows Sheridan making a point of [[Watching the Sunset]] {{spoiler|after he's confirmed his time to die has come}}. Delenn continues the tradition started by Sheridan {{spoiler|after he disappears when his time comes}}.
 
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 49:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* ''[[Final Fantasy X]]'' had such a scene. Made awkward by the fact that Yuna can't say Tidus's name.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'': [[Official Couple|Sora and Kairi]] watch the sunset together a few hours before [[The Heartless]] attack their island. [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Axel and Roxas]] do the same thing in ''[[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition|Kingdom Hearts II: FM+]]'' They, along with [[Three Amigos|Xion]], also do it a ''lot'' in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days Over 2|358/2 Days.]]'' The fact that Twilight Town is in perpetual sunset definitely helps.
* In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', in the end sequence, Mario and Peach watch the setting sun from Sirena Beach. (In the game, every time you go to Sirena Beach, the sun is setting.)
 
Line 59:
* The final strip of ''[[Rip and Teri]]'' is the titular pair, having managed to shake off the various threats that were stalking them throughout the story and escape to an anonymous life, sitting on a beach watching a beautiful sunset together. It, along with the fact that Teri is now pregnant, symbolises the end of their adventures and the start of their new life together.
* [[El Goonish Shive]] has one with [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-10-20 Elliot and Sarah.]
* In ''[[Question Duck]]'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20150522015807/http://questionduck.smackjeeves.com/comics/998706/056/ it's time for the duck to ask a question.]
 
== [[Western Animation]] ==
Line 67:
* On ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'', in "Dying For Pie", Squidward thought [[SpongeBob]] was going to explode at sunset, so he spent the day doing everything [[SpongeBob]] wanted to do and then watched the sunset while he waited for the explosion. {{spoiler|The first explosion turned out to be just [[SpongeBob]] blowing bomb bubbles.}}
* Baljeet and his friend Mishti, at the end of the ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' episode "That Sinking Feeling."
** Defied by Isabella in the "Summer Belongs to You" special: Phineas has wagered his entire worldview on getting the group around the world by the end of the day, but as the sun is almost set they've crashed on a deserted island with no apparent way off. Just as Isabella (who has a crush on him) is forlornly wishing that he would give up and just watch the sunset with her, Phineas [[Despair Event Horizon|loses all hope]] and falls to the ground next to her, weakly saying that they can "[[Ironic Echo|at least watch this beautiful sunset together]]." Hearing the despair in his voice makes Isabella jump up and give a [[Rousing Speech|rousing]] [[Do Not Go Gentle]] speech that winds up saving the whole enterprise.
* Whenever anyone is expecting the [[Gargoyles]].
* At the start of the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "The Return of Chef", [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Stan and Kyle]] are seen sitting on a log at Stark's Pond, watching the sun set.
