"On the Next Episode of..." Catch-Phrase

Go To

Usually, a TV series will will try to find a way to distinguish itself from the rest of the crowd. One of the ways is to build audience anticipation for the next episode. But how do they keep it? Add a catchphrase, of course. Usually after the preview of the show's next episode, we're treated with somewhere along the line "Next! On (insert show name here)! (insert episode title here)!". Afterward, there's that one phrase that this show keeps repeating in the end of every preview just once. And it's this trope. Sometimes, they pick a certain character to say the phrase, though sometimes the speaker changes.

A Sister Trope to Signing-Off Catchphrase.

  • Aria the Scarlet Ammo: "I'll blow a hole through you, if you don't tune in next week." (Aria)
  • Cat Planet Cuties: "I've come to play."
  • As Project Blue Earth SOS is meant to be a homage to early science fiction TV shows, each segment of each OVA ends with someone literally saying "Find out on the next episode of Project Blue Earth SOS!"
  • Hetalia: Axis Powers would sometimes end with a chorus of children piping 'To be continued!' or a more half-hearted 'To be continued maybe...'
  • Bakusou Kyoudai! Let's & Go!! doesn't really have a catch phase, but at the end of the next episode preview, the Seiba brothers shout the anime's name out loud together.
  • Beast Saga: "Beast Fight!"
  • Black Butler:
    • Season 1:"After all, I am merely one hell of a butler." This is changed in Episode 22 where it becomes "After all, I am merely one hell of a... demon."
    • Season 2:"A Phantomhive butler who cannot [do something vaguely related to the episode] is not worth his salt." Both the Season One and Season Two catchphrases are also Sebastian's catchphrase within the show.

  • Chrome Shelled Regios: Thus far, it is either "[title of next episode], restoration!" or "Restoration to [title of the next episode]!" (The Japanese is the same; it's just that the fansubbers out there seem to be changing their minds on how to translate it.)
  • Cowboy Bebop ends each episode with a black screen that reads "See you Space Cowboy...", and was so iconic, that it even became slang for "goodbye" or "goodnight" at one point!

  • Digimon:
  • Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball GT: Heya! I'm Goku! (Son Goku, obviously)

    • Goku's greeting is used again in Dragon Ball Z Kai and Dragon Ball Super, and more consistently in the dubs to boot.
    • In the English dub of Z, most of these were done by a narrator, but a handful were introduced with something along the lines of "Hey, it's me, Goku".
    • "Find out on the next exciting episode of DRAGON BALL Z!"
    • The European Portuguese dub of both Z and GT always ended the episodes instantly recognizable "Não percam o próximo porque nós também não! YES!." note  The original Dragon Ball fiddled around with many different catch phrases, and this one caught on by the last few episodes.
      • Just like the aforementioned European Portuguese dub, both Z and GT Filipino dubs always ended the next episode previews with "Kaya huwag kayong mawawala! Hanggang sa susunod nating pagkikita! Paalam!" (Goku) note

    • Zeta Gundam: "You will see the tears of time."
    • Victory Gundam: "Please watch it!"
    • G Gundam: "And now! Gundam Fight! Ready, Go!" (This one is an inversion, because this happens in the episode preview in the beginning of every episode.)
      • Also played straight in the actual previews, except it's shortened to "Ready, Go!"
      • Stalker starts off every episode with "And now [Ladies and gentlemen], the moment you've all been waiting for...!"

    • Gundam AGE: "Three destinies will form history!"

    • Of course, if we count the events of Saikoroshi-hen, Rika mutters to Hanyuu that she should return to being Rika Furude and that she should stop being the witch Bernkastel.

    • Macross Frontier: "Song of ______, resound through the galaxy."

  • Monster Rancher: "It'll make your heart pound!"
  • Moon Phase: "Full... Full... Full... Moon!" Usually used to measure the time limit for figuring out the preview's riddle, but used even in the previews that have "Let's sumo wrestle!" instead of a riddle.

  • My Hero Academia: "Go beyond! Plus Ultra!" Said by Deku and whoever else was doing the preview with him.

  • Neon Genesis Evangelion capped off some previews with Misato promising copious amounts of Fanservice.

  • Ojamajo Doremi had a different tagline for each season:

    • The dub's version is "The Ouran Host Club will be waiting for you. We'll see you then!" Of course, there was a bit of playing with the line... Examples notable to this trope include Caitlin Glass doing a pretty spot-on impression of Colleen Clinkenbeard as Luffy for the "On the next!" segment and appropriating the One Piece catchphrase: "I'm gonna be king of the Host Club!"

  • Pilot Candidate: "For those with wings, fly to your dreams."

    • In Best Wishes, it is now "Tsugi no bouken wa... kore da!" ("Our next adventure... is gonna be this!"), said by Ash at the start of the preview.
  • Pop Team Epic: The Hoshiiro Girldrop segments in the anime had "Fall in love again next week!". The show itself didnt have a catchphrase of its own, partly because they used the Girldrop segments as the preview.

    • Yes! Pretty Cure 5: "Watch it, watch it, watch it, okay~?" note  (Nozomi Yumehara)

    • Star★Twinkle Pretty Cure: "Next time will be twincool!" (Hikaru Hoshina) note 
  • Prétear: "I'll win in the next episode, too!" (Himeno) However, this was only used earlier in the show—as it started to become darker and Himeno's confidence started to falter, she ends previews with phrases like "I really don't want to lose. I really don't! But..."
  • Princess Tutu:
    • "All children who love stories, come, gather round! Hahaha..." (Drosselmeyer)
    • Also, when the episodes were split into two 15 minute parts in the second season, the preview of the second part would have the narrator asking "How will our story end? A happy ending? A sad ending? Or...?"
  • PriPara, with the exception of season 2, uses this:
    • Season one used "We're aiming for this! Let's go, PriPara!"

Frog: Starts with one of the many main characters talking about something that may be related to the next episode (though it is sometimes completely random), which Keroro then interrupts with"Who cares about that?","It's one whole story/it's two stories together..." (referring to whether the episode consists of one story or two) and finishes with "How's that? Ke~kerooo!". (Keroro)
    • Animax's dub replaces the last line with: "(Sir, yes/no sir!) Keroro!" (Keroro) Whether he says the bit in the brackets depends on how long the other character has been rabbiting on for and whether he says "yes" or "no" depends on the next episode's content.

  • "Gokutai Kudasai" (Please don't miss it) or "Otanoshimi (ni)" (Look forward to it) is a phrase that is commonly used in anime or Japanese live action previews, the former more prominent in the 70's. The alternate would be "Jikai (Next time on), (Show title), (Episode name)!", and most anime and toku will use this.

    Radio 
  • The Lone Ranger: "Will the Lone Ranger triumph as he fights on for justice, law and order? Tune in next week when General Mills brings you another exciting episode of The Lone Ranger!"
  • Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar: During the serialized period of the show, star Bob Bailey gives a brief, one-sentence preview of the next part of that week's story. He ends with, "Join us, won't you? Yours truly, Johnny Dollar."

    Web Animation 
  • Parodied with the Liquid Generation series Masterpiece Movie Reviews. Each episode ends with Professor Butterhands saying, "Thank you for watching Masterpiece Movie Reviews. Join us next time/week when I [insert lewd activity here]."

    Web Original 
  • Epic Meal Time used to end its episodes with "Next time, we eat [strange thing]!" This stopped after the five-year anniversary episode, because several episodes before that, Harley admitted that he only had a few unused "Next times" left and couldn't think of any new ones.
  • Game Grumps: Where either Egoraptor or JonTron scream "NEXT TIME ON GAME GRUMPS!", only to either mumble incomprehensibly or spout a Non Sequitur, never really describing what might happen on the next episode. In-fact, when they actually do have something to say for the next episode, they point it out. Since he took on the role of Not-so-grump, Danny's been using this to express his increasingly large amount of pessimism at Arin's skill at games.
  • Achievement Hunter: "LLLLLLLets Stop!"
