History CaptainObvious / AnimeAndManga

* Used very often in ''Anime/YuGiOh'', usually when a monster is destroyed or a magic/trap card is used, so it happens virtually every move. Contributes to the show's [[InactionSequence Inaction Sequences]].

** A fansub for ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'''s anime adaptation adds "then why does Berserker go berserk?"

* Though Kalinin from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' tends not to say things like this, he did have an instance where he felt the need to mention that Gauron is a "depraved pleasure seeker." You know, just in case the audience and the soldiers who just fought him (and had just witnessed his AxCrazy ways) didn't get it by now.

* ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'':

* ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'' has Ayumu remark to Yuu: "If you hadn't brought me back to life, I'd still be dead." People do generally stay dead if you don't bring them back to life, yes.

* Most lines of the narrator from ''LightNovel/OkamiSan to Shichinin no Nakamatachi'' come down to "what is just happening on the screen", although the way she says them (taking such obvious pleasure in pointing out the salacious side of story events) is what makes having a narrator worthwhile.

* ''[[LightNovel/BludgeoningAngelDokurochan Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan]]'':

** Masashi Kishimoto falls victim to this too as every time a plot point is shown he lampshades it.

** Hell, the later dubbed seasons of the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime are full of this. Characters frequently point out things that anybody watching the show can see.

** The Unlimited Blade Works anime has Tohsaka joining the fray with her own "Looks like the Archer class really is made up of archers!"

** Also in Stardust Crusaders, when Joseph isn't the one on the role, Polnareff takes it on as well. Kakyoin in particular is extremely annoyed by it, and constantly calls the former out on this habit.

-->'''Kakyoin''': We can all see it. You don't have to state the obvious.

* Most lines of the narrator from ''LightNovel/OokamiSan To Shichinin No Nakamatachi'' come down to "what is just happening on the screen", although the way she says them (taking such obvious pleasure in pointing out the salacious side of story events) is what makes having a narrator worthwhile.

* At the start of Episode 10 of ''Manga/FlyMeToTheMoon'' Chitose looks at [[spoiler:the place where Nasa and Tsukasa's apartment building once stood before it burned down]], and says...
