Line 36:
** His [[Genki Girl]] secretary Kiko appears to be completely convinced that she lives in a [[Shojo]] comedy. [[Captain Obvious|She doesn't]]. It also gets sort of turned around in the [[OVA]], since it parodies the main series; Mayu has exactly the same ideas as Kiko about what genre she's living in, and starts stalking Hei because she thinks of him as a romantic hero. Hei and company spend so much time dealing with crazy [[Spy-Versus-Spy]] plots and counterplots that it never occurs to them that Mayu might be following him due to nothing more than [[Stalker with a Crush|a huge crush]] and start speculating that another, previously unknown organization is after them, briefly making ''them'' Wrong Genre Savvy.
* In the third episode of ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'', Tamaki identifies the show as a high-school romance anime, calling himself and Haruhi the main pair destined to be together - not ''too'' far off the mark so far, but then he identifies the rest of the club as "[[Social Circle Filler|the homosexual supporting cast]]". This last remark inspires [[Deuteragonist|Kyouya]] to show him up by coming up with a better plan to save [[Bifauxnen|Haruhi]] from being exposed by the physical exam and saying "[[I Take Offense to That Last One|I just don't think I'm supporting cast]], homosexual or not."
* The protagonist Sugisaki Ken from ''[[SeitokaiStudent noCouncil's IchizonDiscretion]]'' is this. He seriously believes that he is inside a [[H-game]], always says that the student council is his harem, always getting downplayed by Kurimu: [[Catch Phrase|"This is not a harem, it's the student council!"]].
** " Don't be ridiculous. I don't think I'm in a dating sim. In a dating sim I get all the girls! Have you ''ever'' seen me with a girl?" Yep, that'll show her. Still spends too much time looking for flag events though.
* ''[[Code Geass]]'': Poor, ''poor'' Shirley Fennette. She seems to think she's in a shoujo series, [[Crapsack World|when it's anything but]], and [[It Gets Worse|things just keep getting worse until the bottom falls out for the poor girl]]. Just two episodes after her proclamation of [[The Power of Love]], and right after she seemingly consummates her one true love or it looks like she has a better chance than the other girls in the story... {{spoiler|[[Kill the Cutie|she gets mercilessly killed off]] for trusting the wrong person. A ''boy'' who also has interest in the guy she loves. [[:Category:Yandere|Sorta]].}}. All the more [[Irony|tragically ironic]] in that said power also had just earlier inspired Lelouch as Zero to make his inspiring speech about the Power of Passion after he and the Black Knights liberated China, and may have also saved Lelouch from falling into madness, {{spoiler|and his eventual [[Despair Event Horizon|self-induced]] [[Suicide by Cop|demise]] via [[Thanatos Gambit|Zero Requiem]], if not for Shirley's murder}}.
** Suzaku Kururugi seems to think the pacifistic method of working within the system of [[The Evil Empire]] is the correct method towards peace. Too bad for him, said empire is a rotten, violent and [[Social Darwinism|completely Darwinistic]] one occupied by [[Manipulative Bastard]]s.
* Minor example from the second episode of the 2005 ''[[Gaiking]]'' series. The main character fires off his [[Rocket Punch]], expecting it to fly back to him afterwards. It doesn't, and he even screams out "But don't these things usually come back?!"
