* ''PhineasAndFerb'''s special "Summer Belongs To You" has [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1vvRGJ_NnE this little sequence.]]

* HumongousMecha

Due to the LowestCommonDenominator, it might also include other Japanese pop cultural references, that are not actually anime-specific, such as {{Ninja}}s, {{Kaiju}} or the {{Yakuza}}.

* Since ''NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is a parody of anime, it shouldn't be surprising that Japan consists of Tokyo, the children are clearly the focus, the front-line soldiers consist primarily of children, giant robots [[spoiler:that aren't actually robots]] are the weapon of choice, and monster attacks are common, including two tentacle monsters (Shamshel and Zeruel). No ninjas, though. There's also some stuff for the {{Yaoi Fangirl}}s to salivate over.

* In ''LuckyStar'', OccidentialOtaku Patricia Martin has this worldview.

* In ''LuckyStar'', Patricia Martin has this worldview.

* The season one finale of DextersLaboratory starts off here with Dexter accidentally awakening a {{Kaiju}}, while trying to one-up two mecha pilots his age (who both look like GoNagai characters). The rest of the episode has him and his entire family fighting said Kaiju back home, with the help of a CombiningMecha, under the guidence of a KidSamurai.

* In ''TheToxicAvenger'', Toxie's [[LukeIAmYourFather father]] is Japanese. And a CorruptCorporateExecutive. And a sumo wrestler.

* ''{{Durarara}}'': You have the street gangs and the school life, some of the otaku culture too, and because it's UrbanFantasy, while there aren't kaiju, it's TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse.

First of all, [[IThoughtThatWas this must not be confused with]] the famous French magazine ''[[http://www.animeland.com/ Animeland]]'', leader of anime and manga-related press there.

In western works, it might serve as a parody of the Anime fandom in general, in Japanese works, it might be a jab at OccidentalOtaku who seem to actually believe in this, or lampshaded to emphasize that [[ThisIsReality this particular work is more realistic than that.]]

* ''{{Durarara}}'': You have the street gangs and the school life, some of the otaku culture too, and because its UrbanFantasy, while there aren't kaiju, it's TokyoIsTheCenterOfTheUniverse.

* In ''TheHangover'', when a naked, angry asian man jumps out of the trunk of the car, [[CloudCuckooLander Alan]] tries to calm him down by saying that he hates Godzilla too.

* In {{Lexx}}'s last season [[{{Kaiju}} a giant plant person]] invaded japaneseland

* ''MegaTokyo''.

* ''TheSimpsons'', "Thirty Minutes over Tokyo:" an annoucement from the pilot as they're flying home.
->Uh, folks, we're experiencing some moderate Godzilla-related turbulence at this time, so I'm going to go ahead and ask you to put your seatbelts back on. When we get to 35 thousand feet, he usually does let go, so from there on out, all we have to worry about is Mothra, and, uh, we do have reports he's tied up with Gamera and Rodan at the present time. Thank you very much.
* The ''TeenTitans'' film ''Trouble in Tokyo'' is like this- it's definitely an AffectionateParody though, since the series is {{Animesque}}.
