**** Guilmon " I'm in a box!"

* Seven syllables: ''[[BoboboboBobobo Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo]].'' (Beauty, Gasser and Softon are [[OnlySaneMan the only people aware of this]])

*** Luffy's Devil Fruit powers are apparently fairly strange even among Devil Fruits, as when Luffy fights alongside two other pirates with Devil Fruit abilities (one related to magnetism and one that switches people's body parts around), one tells him that his is the strangest.
**** Part of what makes Luffy's power interesting is that even though it's a Paramecia (common, random properties) type, it has abilities very similar to a Logia (rare, can turn into, create, and manipulate an element/substance) type. The other part of why his powers are interesting comes from the inventive ways he comes up with to use them, namely using his rubber circulatory system to pump his (rubber?) blood super fast to hyper oxygenate his muscles, and inflating his rubber bones to give himself giant limbs and super strength (since it forces his muscles to stretch out in a way he can't just will them to do). This is actually completely averted later when the group gets broken up and Brook winds up kept in a cage by people who want to exhibit him in a freakshow. Turns out he is pretty interesting. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Because he only has]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint one joint in his arms.]]

** Also, in the Buu/Saiyaman saga, people notice when Gohan speeds down a highway with his Saiyan speed and they also notice when Gohan is gone for long periods of time (particularly Videl. A nice subversion to how most superhero sagas have the characters slip out and no one notices. People also notice Gohan when he's a Super Saiyan and that leads to him having to wear a mask. The most hilarious example of this is when they're playing baseball and Gohan FLIES up in the air to catch it and wonders why everyone's staring at him.

** The appearances of Hohenheim, Ed, and Alphonse (when not in the armor) should qualify as this, as it's more than likely that they are the [[LastOfHisKind only three people alive]][[note]]Not counting [[BigBad Father]], whose body is a copy of Hohenheim's.[[/note]] with the distinctive Xerxian gold eyes [[CurtainsMatchTheWindow and equally golden]] hair [[note]] Their hair is actually drawn in a unique way to indicate that it's different from that of blond-haired characters. While blond haired characters have their hair drawn with a black outline, the hair of the Elrics has a yellow outline, because it's ''golden'', rather than blond[[/note]].

* Averted hilariously in BusoRenkin, in which various characters including man-eating monsters attempt to take advantage of this trope, only to find that people do not turn a blind eye to weirdness happening in their vicinity.

* In ''[[MahouTsukaiNiTaisetsuNaKotoNatsuNoSora Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~]]'', Sora uses her magical powers to prevent a truck from crashing from an overpass onto the subway station underneath. This gets ''some'' response, causing Sora to become embarrassed, but after some questioning by the police she continues her trip as if nothing had happened. Sure, [[MundaneFantastic magic is fairly common]] in the world depicted, but it should still be a big deal if someone uses it to save numerous lives and it would likely get a lot of media attention.

* Anime/FlyingHouse: is set in Biblical times, but no one ever reacts to the flying house itself, the strange clothing, or the robot.

* The Dead Moon Circus in the ''Manga/SailorMoon'' anime are masters of this trope. Nobody seemed to notice (besides Usagi) that a GIGANTIC CIRCUS TENT which manages to dwarf most of the buildings surrounding it in size suddenly appeared. The monsters in the Circus actually mock the citizens because they don't notice them. It isn't until advertisements go out for the show that people notice the circus tent. And still, no one asks just when they arrived, or how they managed to set up a tent that size in such a short time. In the manga, their headquarters is a regular circus tent, and they take a month to get ready for their first performance.

* The most anyone tends to find strange about the Medicine Seller in ''{{Mononoke}}'' is his exorcism tools and (in a more modern setting) clothing. Not his pale skin, blonde hair, [[UnusualEars pointy ears]], or FacialMarkings. On the other hand, it's implied that people are just too self-interested to pay him much mind.
** In the last storyarc, which takes place during Japan's modernization period his appearance is commented on by one of the characters, and he responds that a person who sells folk remedies has to look exotic to get customers. Not that it explains his inhuman body features, but a WeirdnessCensor may be in effect there. His deceptively small sword sometimes draws comments in the Feudal period as well, since as a merchant he shouldn't have the right to carry one.

* In the [[GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex Ghost in the Shell]] anime, The major's outfit is only mentioned once, only because she had no choice but to change out of it and into something even more revealing. Her hair and eyes are never mentioned [[AllThereInTheManual (because it's explained that her visual appearance is that of a popular mass-production cyborg model from a few years back.)]]

* ''CromartieHighschool'' is practically built out of this. Among the classmates there is a robot, a gorilla, a luchador who convinces everyone that he's a missing member of the cast just by telling them he is, and a mute, shirtless Freddie Mercury who rides a huge black stallion.

* ''ToLoveRu'' is full of this. No one seems to really care that Lala has a tail, that Zastin wears a suit of armor all the time, that Rito has a giant carnivorous plant in his backyard, etc.

* ''FrankenFran'' has quite a few chapters where she decides to go back to attending school. Unlike most of the people who see her FrankensteinsMonster appearance, none of the students give her a second glance in these stories, nor do they give her as much flak for her weird surgical procedures. One story had many students casually asking for weirder and weirder cosmetic changes to their bodies, and the chapter ends with her becoming one of the more normal-looking students on the campus.
* ''{{Slayers}}'' brings us Zelgadis, who is a cursed chimera consisting of 1/3 human, 1/3 golem and 1/3 blow demon. This [[CursedWithAwesome gives him rock hard, greenish-bluish skin]], scale-like protrusions all over his body, and literal wire-y hair. In early episodes he makes a few comments about preferring to avoid towns and keeps the hood of his cape up, but in most of the later seasons he walks around just like everyone else and never gets a second glance from the innocent townspeople.

* In ''OnePiece'' there's Brook, a nine-foot tall walking, talking skeleton ''with an afro'', yet anyone who sees him comments passingly - "Oh look, a skeleton." - and then moves on with the conversation. This is even stranger in light of the fact that Franky once noted that Brook would have trouble being accepted because of his appearance, which Brook did not attempt to dispute.

* In the VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi anime, [[CreepyChild Maria's]] facial distortions and creepy laughter go uncommented on by the others. This is in sharp contrast to the original sound novels and the manga, where people ''do'' notice and are understandably creeped out.
* Although they may just be the artist's way of conveying his personality, Hiruma's pointy ears and fangs go without mention in {{Eyeshield 21}}.
* ''SetoNoHanayome''. Things like a submarine smashing through the floor of a gymnasium, a KillSat blowing up a section of the school, or the school being turned into a war zone over a rivalry usually elicit mind surprise at best. Given the [[GagSeries nature of the series]], one would think this is normal...except that [[TheMasquerade hiding the existence of mermaids]] is the idea that drives the whole plot. Even though the mermaids would be one of the less weird things that occurs.

* SonicX has this, but it's averted in the first episode, where Sonic causes a lot of trouble in the city after being transported there by the Chaos Emeralds. This is averted until Sonic makes an appearance that NOBODY can ignore, and is treated like a hero afterwards to the point where people watch a RACE between him and a member of a special group of police.
* ''ChronoCrusade'' is set in a world chock-full with ''normal'' hair and eye colors, yet Chrono can run around with a purple mullet, red eyes, UnusualEars and ''fangs'' and nobody ever seems to be bothered by this. Even if we assume that Chrono's hair and eye color appears normal to the people around him, you'd think ''someone'' would comment on his ears and fangs.

** {{Lampshaded}} in one chapter (both in manga and anime) when one of the students, Chisame Hasegawa, angrily comments that she doesn't understand how anybody (Chachamaru among them) doesn't notice all the weirdness in the school. She also comments on the abnormal amount of foreigners in the class and how a 10 year-old can work as a teacher if that's against child labor laws.

** Even better, only a select few characters can tell that the robot actually ''is'' a robot (and they don't even get the excuse of him being a RidiculouslyHumanRobot, as he's basically a giant tin can with claw arms.)

** Even better, only a select few characters can tell that the robot actually ''is'' a robot.

** Even better, only a select few characters can actually tell that the robot actually ''is'' a robot.

* In the Anime/{{Pokemon}} anime, Team Rocket's Meowth is one of the very few Pokemon to be able to talk. A few people find it strange, but most don't.

* Subverted on several occasions in the series, though. In the Android saga, people NOTICE how weird Androids 19 and 20 look and think they're circus freaks, and not only that, when Krillin comes flying out of the sky and asks a guy if he saw someone weird, the human's reaction? "You, man, you! You came flying out of the sky, dude!"
* Also, in the Buu/Saiyaman saga, people notice when Gohan speeds down a highway with his Saiyan speed and they also notice when Gohan is gone for long periods of time (particularly Videl. A nice subversion to how most superhero sagas have the characters slip out and no one notices. People also notice Gohan when he's a Super Saiyan and that leads to him having to wear a mask. The most hilarious example of this is when they're playing baseball and Gohan FLIES up in the air to catch it and wonders why everyone's staring at him.

* In ''Anime/{{Beck}}'': Strange Frankenstein dog? Oh, who cares.

* [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in ''Anime/PrincessTutu'', where there actually is a WeirdnessCensor in place. So nobody thinks that all those [[SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism anthropomorphic animals]] doing ballet are at all out of place. Occasionally {{Lampshaded}} by Duck.

** Another case of this trope occurs during the registration for the Sinnoh League at the Lilly of the Valley Conference where one of the trainers in line was in possession of a [[Olympusmons Heatran]].

** Also the appearance of the giant dragon Parunga in West City. At first, the inhabitants of the city are shocked but once they realize it's at Capsule Corp, they ignore it and go on with their daily lives.
*** Presumably they're used to weird things popping up at Capsule Corp.

* In ''Manga/DragonBall Z'', people are pretty shocked to discover that Piccolo, a man with green skin and antennae, is an alien. Piccolo himself is shocked to discover this. The same thing happens when they find out that Goku (who used to have a tail and would transform into a giant ape in the full moon) is an alien. Granted, given the [[PettingZooPeople kinds of things walking around]] on Earth in this series that are native to the planet and clearly not human, Goku and Piccolo don't stand out all that much.

** A good example would be that nobody really seems to care about Sajin Komamura being a humanoid dog. A few characters mentioned noticing it, some villains taunt him for it, and the omakes pinpoint him as being an animal lover partially because of it....but not one person ever asks him what exactly he ''is.''

* SetoNoHanayome. Things like a submarine smashing through the floor of a gymnasium, a KillSat blowing up a section of the school, or the school being turned into a war zone over a {{SchoolgirlRival}}ry usually elicit mind surprise at best. Given the [[GagSeries nature of the series]], one would think this is normal...except that [[TheMasquerade hiding the existence of mermaids]] is the idea that drives the whole plot. Even though the mermaids would be one of the less weird things that occurs.

* Damn near everything Sousuke Sagara does in public barely elicits any reaction from civilians or authorities in ''FullMetalPanic''. From frequently talking about past military experiences, to [[GunsInChurch carrying around loaded guns that he once pulled on a guy bothering Kaname in a crowded subway station]], to interrogating that same guy with a toilet after someone posts a bunch of notes around school bad-mouthing Kaname. Oh and did I mentioned he ''[[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment pulled on a gun on guy in a crowded subway station]]''!? In a country where it would [[AlternateHistory probably]] be very difficult to even '''OWN''' a gun legally even if he weren't a minor!?

**** Part of what makes Luffy's power interesting is that even though it's a paramecia (common, random properties) type, it has abilities very similar to a logia (rare, can turn into, create, and manipulate an element/substance) type. The other part of why his powers are interesting comes from the inventive ways he comes up with to use them, namely using his rubber circulatory system to pump his (rubber?) blood super fast to hyper oxygenate his muscles, and inflating his rubber bones to give himself giant limbs and super strength (since it forces his muscles to stretch out in a way he can't just will them to do). This is actually completely averted later when the group gets broken up and Brook winds up kept in a cage by people who want to exhibit him in a freakshow. Turns out he is pretty interesting. [[ItMakesSenseInContext Because he only has]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint one joint in his arms.]]
* ''FullmetalAlchemist's'' Alphonse Elric seems to both subvert yet fit this trope. He's a giant seven-foot suit of armor who regularly walks the streets with his older brother, but nobody seems to notice or care. Occasionally somebody will ask him about why he "wears" that armor, though, and it's used to comedic effect when someone mistakes him for the Fullmetal Alchemist (who is actually his brother) due to the armor. Otherwise, passers-by pay him no notice.
