* {{Inverted}} and PlayedWith in ''Manga/TwilightStarSuiAndNeri'', in respect to the story's time setting in TheFuture, specifically the 26th Century (2531). While Earth and its interstellar planetary colonies have futuristic technology including [[CasualInterstellarTravel passenger spaceships]], [[EveryDeviceIsASwissArmyKnife multi-purpose cards]], maglev (magnetic levitation) trains, multi-layered buildings and smart glasses, Tetsunagi is the complete opposite to all of these things, as it is a city that is reminiscent to the 21st Century.

** Paper bills and coins are still the staple currency of Tetsunagi, despite multi-purpose cards (like the one Shida uses) completely defeating the purpose of doing so as it functions as a debit card.
** Sui's portable radio, tech that is considered a vintage museum piece in this era, is still functionally working in 26th Century despite the seemingly ancient age of the device.
** Tetsunagi's buildings and neighbourhoods, as a whole, are considered out of place in the 26th Century, as many of its architectural standards resemble more closely to a 21st Century city than a 26th Century city.

** Merlin and several characters weren't in the original myth (and in fact are from myths that were written decades/centuries earlier), but hey, they have to keep it consistent with the most common version of the story people are familiar with.

* ''Manga/ABridesStory'': Anis owns a Persian cat which [[SubvertedTrope appears to have]] the ultra-typed flat face created by American breeders since the 1950s, rather than the short-muzzled look of traditional Persians. However, closer inspection reveals that this appearance is only true in panels where its face is foreshortened; any time the cat's head is seen in profile, it shows the Traditional Persian facial features.

* ''LightNovel/TheCircumstancesLeadingToWaltrautesMarriage'' is set in Myth/NorseMythology, but features things like the metric system and modern day-style swimsuits. The main characters do question where these things come from.

* ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' has most of this in the form of the outfits some of the cast winds up wearing, mostly in the gag episodes. Episode 16 of season 2 involves the cast getting involved in a game similar to tennis; several wind up wearing sportswear that sticks out from the MedievalEuropeanFantasy outfits like a sore thumb.

* Occurs in both ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateZero''. The servants tend to be anachronistic, with most being summoned wearing very modern-looking clothing and hairstyles, and Saber and [[spoiler:Gilgamesh]] wearing armour (and in the latter case, a lot of various weapon types) that did not exist at the time their legends occurred.

* ''Manga/SpyXFamily'': The general technology level and culture of the setting are clearly meant to evoke the 60's era of the ColdWar, but the series is littered with references to things ranging from the 1950's to the 2010's. At the end of Volume 6, the author admits that he intended the series to be set in the 60's or 70's, but if he can't remember or find out if something he wants to include is actually from that time period, he [[ThrowItIn includes it anyway]] on the basis that [[BellisariosMaxim it's a fictional country.]] The only real constant is that the internet and cell phones do not exist.
