* The first trailer of ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldMovie'' dropped on a Monday, which is Garfield's least favorite day of the week.

* Manga/ThePromisedNeverland: Chapter 176, [[spoiler:where Isabella is fatally wounded while protecting the children]], was released on Mother's Day (May 10, 2020).

* ''Fanfic/AsylumOfDoom'': This ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' story revolves around Gaz getting sent back in time and becoming a patient at a BedlamHouse. It was posted on Website/FanfictionDotNet on November 1, 2020 — just after Halloween (the author had intended to publish on Halloween itself, but suffered a ScheduleSlip).

* ''Fanfic/WitchingHour'' is an ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' HistoricalAU about Gaz being accused of witchcraft in Medieval times. Appropriately, it was posted to Website/FanfictionDotNet and Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn on October 31/Halloween, 2021.

* Whether by chance or on purpose, both seasons of the ''Anime/AceAttorney'' anime have this to a degree- Season One aired in 2016, the year the first game takes place, while Season 2 (covering the third game) was released in October of 2018, which was when "The Stolen Turnabout" (the first case in the third game where Phoenix is the lawyer and that isn't a flashback) takes place.

* A triple-release on the same day, for the same movie. On October 21st, 2015 we got ''Film/BackToTheFuture''-themed episodes of:

* ''VideoGame/Persona5'', a game with a major visual {{motif}} in the form of hearts and a theme of "stealing hearts," was set to release in the Americas and Europe on Valentine's Day 2017, before delays pushed the release back to the no-longer meaningful April 4.[[note]]For what it's worth, the game's story proper starts on April 9, but that would be unfeasible as a release date because that date was a Sunday in 2017.[[/note]]
** The UpdatedRerelease ''Persona 5 Royal'' was released in Japan on Halloween 2019, which fits into the game's themes of masks, costumes, and monster summoning.

* Although its US release was in April of 2010, ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' was released in Asia, the UK, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand on the 10th of October of 2010 (some places even broadcasted the episode at 10:00 AM to drive the point home). 10 is Ben's age during the [[WesternAnimation/{{Ben10}} original series]], the number of starter aliens in said series and ''[[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Alien Force]]'', and it's even part of the protagonist's surname ('''Ten'''nyson).

* [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13646760/15/The-NEW-151-Pokeshipping-Stories A Friendly Battle]] was released on February 27th, 2021, the 25th anniversary of Pokemon and the writer's 20th birthday. It focuses on Ash and Misty having a full battle with each other. Another story of this collection, [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13646760/35/The-NEW-151-Pokeshipping-Stories 25 Years Later]] was released on April 1st, 2022, 25 Years after the Japanese premire of "Pokemon, I Choose You!," when Ash and Misty made their debut.

* In ''Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu'', it's stated that it's been twenty years since Mewtwo was created. The American release of ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'', which featured Mewtwo's birth, was released in North America 20 years before ''Detective Pikachu'' got released. The protagonist Tim, on the other hand is 21, which means he was born in 1998, which is the year the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' anime premiered in North America.

* ''Manga/SeitokaiYakuindomo'', being a SexComedy, had it's movie released on July 21, 2017 because it's a pun on "masturbation" in Japanese.

* ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'' was released on October 26, 2018, which happens to be the 137th anniversary of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral that involves gunfighters Wyatt Earp and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doc_Holliday Doc Holliday]], the latter of whom died of tuberculosis at age 36 in 1887 [[spoiler:(and in coincidence, this disease could also be the same fate that would befall the 36-year-old Arthur Morgan 12 years later in the fictional 1899)]].

* ''Series/Dimension404'' first premiered on Creator/{{Hulu}} on April 4th[[note]]4.04[[/note]].

* ''[[VideoGame/ModernWarfare Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2]]'' came out on November 10th, 2009, and the launch trailers ended with "11-10-09" blinking on in sequence like the countdown before an explosion. Presumably, this was meant to signify the "exploding" international tensions in the game's plot [[spoiler: which results in America being invaded]], or just the ramped-up action in the game.

* ''VideoGame/{{OMORI}}'' released on Christmas of 2020. Within the game's story, [[spoiler: the main character was gifted a violin as a Christmas gift, which winds up being the catalyst that leads to the game's conflict.]]

** The GrandFinale "Watching and Dreaming" aired April 8, 2023, the day before Easter Sunday. [[spoiler: With Luz undergoing [[DisneyDeath death and resurrection]] and Belos' religious symbolism, it fits right in.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/Arthur'':
** The episode "Prunella Sees The Light/Return of the Snowball" aired on November 28, 2002, the 10th birthday of Cameron Ansell

** The episode "SB-129" in which Squidward accidentally time travels too far into the future, then too far into the past [[spoiler:and then "nowhere"]] aired on December 31st, 1999--the last day before the year 2000. Nickelodeon actually aired several new episodes of shows with a millennium/future theme that night, including ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBeavers'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Kablam}}''.

** "Graveyard Shift" ends with an appearance by Film/{{Nosferatu}}. The episode first aired on September 6th, the birthday of Max Schreck, who played the titular vampire (and who also reprised the role here via a still image).

* The anime of the books ''LightNovel/FateZero'' is rather infamous for a release schedule wherein certain episodes would air on holidays that made them tragically ironic. For example, Mother's Day aired the episode where [[spoiler:Kiritsugu blow up a plane with his adoptive mother on it]], while the episode where [[spoiler:Kiritsugu kills Grail-created incarnations of his wife and daughter]] aired on Father's Day. WordOfGod says that these (along with the episode where [[spoiler:Rider dies]] airing on the anniversary of his historical incarnation's death) were coincidence.
