* [[FanService For some reason]] giant, beautiful women guest starring in music videos is really popular. However for the musicians in these videos the encounters with these giant ladies usually end unpleasantly.
** Averted in Go West's video, "Call Me", where she doesn't eat them, but ''literally'' gives the two singing leads the brush off!

* Episode 30 of ''Manga/SgtFrog'' introduced the Flash Spoon, a device that could make its user grow to enormous size. In the first half of episode 57, Keroro uses it to one-up Viper the Elder when the villain grows to giant size in a last-ditch effort at beating the Keroro Platoon. In the second half of the episode, a trip to the Nishizawa Group's private island (while waiting for the effects of the Flash Spoon on Keroro to wear off) results in a cuttlefish, a crab, and a turtle being turned into giant monsters by the spoon, while the rest of the cast also grows in an effort to stop them (except Dororo, who doesn't get his hands on the Flash Spoon until the batteries have run out).
** The same thing happened in the dub, only it was called [=SpoonWow=] (made in Germany, you know the Germans always make good stuff).
* Mana Eimiya, the titular ''Manga/SuperDreadnoughtGirl4946'', stands at 49M and 46CM and fights alien monsters of comparable size.
** Then at the end, she enters a SuperMode where she grows to the size of 4946M.
* Let's not forget ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. It went from the 50 feet tall variety in the beginning all the way to the size of a galaxy! What can you do when your opponent is also that size? Obviously you throw galaxies at them. Super Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann is stated to be roughly 3,5% of the size of the observable universe. Its only weapon? A huge energy-drill that's 10 times bigger than the thing itself. The Anti-Spiral counters by growing to 3,5% the size of the observable universe and wielding a 10 times as big drill... Yes, the final battle has over 77% of the observable universe occupied by mecha and their weapons!
