* ''Anime/DevilmanCrybaby'' reveals at one point that the ''original 1972 Manga/{{Devilman}} anime'' exists in the universe of the story. One can only assume it's InNameOnly (which, to be fair, a good number of ''Devilman'' adaptations have been, including the 1972 anime which was considerably LighterAndSofter than the manga).

Surprisingly, Natsuru (voiced by Creator/MarinaInoue) has yet to be brought up by anyone.

** This trope also creates some pretty big FridgeLogic thanks to the crossover film ''Anime/LupinIIIVsDetectiveConan''. The crossover indicates that both characters exist in the same fictional universe. But that then raises questions concerning the iconic character Franchise/SherlockHolmes: in Conan's series, Holmes is a fictional character like in ours, and the original stories are what inspired Shinichi/Conan to become a detective in the first place. In Lupin's series, however, Holmes was a real life person, and an episode of the second ''Lupin'' series even has the master thief meeting and impersonating the detective's grandson!

* A case in ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' once revolved around the eponymous character and his friends meeting singer Creator/MinamiTakayama. Minami happens to do the voice of Conan Edogawa, and their similar voices were pointed out by other characters. That story also appeared in the original manga. Not so weird, considering mangaka Gosho Aoyama was dating, and then was briefly married to, Minami.

* ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' has an extremely odd version of this thanks to Mr. Ral, a character who looks and [[CastingGag sounds]] exactly like Ramba Ral from the original ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam''. Unlike most examples of this trope, however, the ''Gundam'' anime '''does''' exist InUniverse, and most of the characters are huge fans of it -- which makes it even more surreal that nobody comments on or even seems to notice the resemblance.

Literary Agent Hypothesis is YMMV and based on fanon; Direct Line To The Author is its objective counterpart


* ''Magazine/ShonenJump'' exists in all ''Shonen Jump'' manga that are set in anything resembling the modern world, as well as some worlds that aren't. ''Franchise/DragonBall'' even goes the LiteraryAgentHypothesis route with this. (''Manga/RokudenashiBlues'' and ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' both feature main characters using ''Shonen Jump'' as ImprovisedArmour.)

* ''Anime/Interstella5555'' is a JukeboxMusical by ''Music/DaftPunk'' about a fictional band called The Crescendolls. Daft Punk appear at a music award ceremony cheering them on, not seeking to care that their songs have been plagiarized.

* Long time Franchise/PrettyCure theme song singer Creator/KanakoMiyamoto has both appeared in-universe AsHerself in Anime/YesPrettyCure5, and then voiced Makoto Kensaki/Cure Sword in Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure. I wonder why Nozomi don't question Makoto why she sounds like her classmate in the crossovers...

Added DiffLines:

** In one episode of the anime, Tomoko can be seen idly browsing around Gangan Online, where her manga is published...[[MindScrew and images of her advertising the anime series actually appear]]! Naturally, [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight she doesn't notice them at all]].

* ''Manga/SoreGaSeiyuu'' has an indirect example. Creator/RyokoShiraishi, Creator/RieKugimiya, Creator/YuiHorie and Creator/MasumiAsano all appear despite the fact that they voiced characters on ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'', and ''Sore ga Seiyuu!'' is confirmed to take place in the same universe (to make it even weirder, Ryoko Shirashi [[RecursiveCanon is mentioned to be the voice of Hayate]]). Masumi Asano's appearance doubles as a CreatorCameo.
