* In the anime adaptation of ''LightNovel/GirlishNumber'', something different happens to one of the cast in the title sequence. For example, in the third episode a pan falls on Chitose's head.

* ''LightNovel/CatPlanetCuties'' typically starts each episode with an OpeningNarration before the opening credits start, acting as a parody of classic television like ''Franchise/StarTrek'' or ''{{Series/Bewitched}}''.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'' does this as well, essentially "slipping in" a few seconds of new footage in between a section of the Openings; only carrying over the music until it returned to the stock footage. [[{{Foreshadowing}} Used very effectively.]]

* ''LightNovel/ShominSample'': Each heroine periodically gets a cover of her [[MsFanservice raising her skirt.]]

* Every episode of ''LightNovel/SisterPrincess'' ended with Yamada alone in his apartment watching something on television -- usually the fictional HumongousMecha show ''Garban'' -- which had a comment relevant to the episode's action.

* ''Manga/Beastars'': The first season's closing credits are a theatre performance centered on Legosi, which varies in ending song and visuals depending on the mood of the episode.

** At least for its first 33 episodes ''Anime/HappinessChargePrettyCure'' will have cameos of each of the previous Pretty Cure heroines up to that point congratulating the franchise for hitting 10 years.

* The the openings and endings of ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' in the original Japanese version included clips from the episode.

* ''Franchise/PrettyCure'':

* Any anime subbed by Dattebayo Fansubs frequently has a wry comment at the end of the opening credits. This can range from an in-joke between the Dattebayo production team, to something like "Attempting to unlock [[{{Manga/Bleach}} bankai]] in [[InstantExpert three days]] can be [[TrainingFromHell hazardous to your health]]."

* Though not exactly a joke, the endings to ''Manga/AxisPowersHetalia'' have variations of this. During the second season, the ending song was sung by the character that was the focus of that episode. During the third season, a certain potion of the credits changes to depict either the Allies or Axis Powers standing around a tree, and then focuses in one one of the characters' faces.

* ''Manga/HidamariSketch x365'''s opening has several: Miyako eating a different dish in each episode, the scroll on the wall behind her changing, the message Hiro writes on the paper airplane changing, and Yuno's attempt at a group picture getting messed up in different ways.

* Manga/KemonoMichi: One/Some of the main cast looks at the screen (generally in their debut episodes) at the end of the opening credits, whoever it is depends on who is the main focus of the episode.

* ''Manga/NandeKokoNiSenseiGa'': The start and end of the opening credits and the full ending credits change to showcase the "main" teacher of the current arc which includes a "Do It Yourself" Theme Tune ending done by said main teacher.
