History ComicallyMissingThePoint / AnimeAndManga

* In ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5GoGo'', Cure Dream keeps Milky Rose around for a little too long, leading her to reveal her identity as Milk. Cures Mint and Aqua realize what this means. Cure Dream... just happily tells Milk she ''just'' missed meeting Milky Rose. Cure Rouge has to tell Dream that Milk ''is'' Milky Rose. Granted, poor Dream isn't the brightest bulb on the shelf.

** Another moment takes place between Chi-Chi and the Ox-King in the Cell Saga right after Gohan transforms into a Super Saiyan 2. The moment also borderlines on DramaticallyMissingThePoint had it not been for Chi chi's exaggerated tantrum that she throws during it.

* A chapter of ''Manga/MonsterMusume'' featured Ren Kunanzuki, a member of Rachnera's previous host family (the one who sold her off to the shady director). After completing many trials set up by the other homestays, Ren pleads her case to Kimihito, saying that she wants to overcome her challenge and be a family with Rachnera once more. As expected, Kimihito not only turns down her request, but also [[WhatTheHellHero admonishes her for seeing Rachnera as an obstacle rather than a family member.]] However, Ren completely misunderstood the point Kimihito was trying to make and rushes out of the house, vowing the over come the "challenge" he gave her.

* Sagara Sōsuke from ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' does this. A ''lot''. With anything that ''isn’t'' military-involved. This causes [[EvenTheGuysWantHim many of his admirers]] [[ObliviousToLove great amounts]] of [[AllLoveIsUnrequited frustration and anguish]].

* In ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'', Issei's girlfriend has just stated her desire to kill him, and is going through a MagicalGirl-esque TransformationSequence into a {{Stripperiffic}} winged form...and he cares more about the fact that it was a (briefly) ''nude'' transformation.
-->'''Issei:''' ''[as he lies dying on the ground]'' If you're going to kill a guy...you should at least let him fondle your breasts.

* In ''LightNovel/{{Inukami}}'' both Keita and Youko have mortified expressions as Kei tells them about how her family made a deal with a {{shinigami}} for the great wealth but in turn the shinigami kills their offspring once they reach adulthood. They're horrified because they simply can't believe [[OlderThanTheyLook someone that looks as young as Kei is almost 20]].
* ''Manga/InuYasha'': A demonic witch kidnaps Kagome so she could use her to transfer her spiritual power into a copy of Kikyo (Inu Yasha's late love interest) made from dirt and her buried ashes. When a part of her soul is transferred back into Kagome's body, she wakes up visibly shaken - not because she just had her soul temporarily torn out of her body, but because she had a bad dream that involved failing her math test. Cue looks of disbelief from Inu Yasha.

* Katarina in ''LightNovel/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'' thinks she's the story's villain and judges everything based off of whether or not she's managing to avoid the bad ending in store for her. Unbeknownst to her, she actually avoided all the bad endings the moment she realized the role she was in, but now she thinks the best way to prepare for the future is to learn how to farm, build toy snakes, spoil her little brother and play matchmaker for a girl that is quite openly in love with Katarina herself.

* In ''LightNovel/NoGameNoLife'', during a conversation about Feel and Kurami's backstory, Steph notices the ramifications of Feel's desire to end slavery in her home country.
