History MundaneMadeAwesome / Anime

** Dissaperance opens with an epic first person struggle to turn off an alarm clock.
* On the matter of ''epic'' ping-pong, one can hardly forget the fighting manga-esque ping pong battle in ''[[TheWallflower Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge]]''.

* ''[[{{Kurozuka}} Kurozuka's]]'' anime gives us the incredible, breath-taking, five-minute 'throwing a bag of excrement into the river' scene. I ''really'' wish I was just making that up.

* HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi: Water Gun fights and Zombie Tags are [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] to many viewers. However, they are rather over-exaggerated.

* ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi Rei'' [[BeachEpisode episode 1]]: Who would've thought that taking off Keiichi's trunks would be SeriousBusiness. Takano's Kunai Syringes, [[strike:Ciel's Black Keys]] Chie's T-squares, the Yamainu lurking in the pool, Oishi's riot police, Kasai's stun grenade among many others. Oh, and Keiichi's [[UnusualEuphemism fur seal]]. The fighting is like in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9L6slBJDQU Daybreak]].

* ''Kami no Shizuku'' combines the truly epic act of decanting wine with {{Engrish}}. ''[[MemeticMutation Decantering from such a height...]] [[http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww135/MaxGore/416px-Decantering.png Incredible...]]''

** And, just like everything else about ''Yu-Gi-Oh'', [[WebOriginal/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries the Abridged Series]] lampoons this mercilessly.

* ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds}}'': [[WebOriginal/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Card games... on MOTORCYCLES!]]

* ''HighSchoolDXD'' gives us the debut of one of Issei's primary [[PowerPotentialPerversion powers he'll use later on]] called ''"[[ClothingDamage Dress Break]]."'' The anime turned this debut UpToEleven when it had ''OminousLatinChanting music'' playing while he spreads his demon wings out.

* Ever silly, a RecapEpisode of ''ExcelSaga'' had quite possibly the most epic scene of setting up dominoes that has ever been made.

* [[{{Kuroshitsuji}} Sebastian Michaels.]] THAT IS ALL.

** For those who are curious, the scene in question is available [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aj-nfYMcJpk here on YouTube]].

* ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'' gives us Koyomi brushing Karen's teeth. Epic toothbrushing.

* In the universe of ''PrincessTutu'', ballet is ''a force of pure badass''. Yes, [[ThePowerOfRock ballet]]. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHZqxecCukg&feature=related Check it out.]] Did we mention this show is BetterThanItSounds?

* The grand poo-bah of this trope could very well be the [[{{Calvinball}} senseless]] [[CrazyEnoughToWork wonder]] that goes on in ''every episode'' of ''[[BoboboBoBoBobo Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo]]'', from using one's ''[[ImprobableWeapon nose]] [[PrehensileHair hairs]]'' as a fighting style, making people bald SeriousBusiness, constant MindScrew, letting loose a surreal [[CloudCuckooLand world]] inside the [[AfroAsskicker main character's]] ''[[FunnyAfro afro]]'', holding contests out of ''blowing into fans'', super power-inducing jackets, using ''[[{{Fartillery}} farts]]'' as weapons of doom, and on top of that, being so purely and utterly random '''''ANYTHING''''' can be transformed into an captivating battle- such as hanging upside down from bungee cords or just sleeping! Even facing an enemy with geometry-based powers can become epic- because when you're Bobobo, you can shut those 3-D-reliant moves down by turning reality into a '''''[[BeyondTheImpossible literal]]''''' ''2-D video game!''

* The snowball fight in episode 19 of ''[[XxxHolic xxxHolic]]''. Too awesome to spoil with extra words.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0lSNITIJ20&feature=related Crocus's abuse of the dramatic moment,]] part of one of the more bizarre episodes of OnePiece. Also LampshadeHanging.

** Even the weapons are awesome from Ayame's {{Dual Wield}}ing Chopsticks, to Monarch's One-handed cart swinging and finally Orthus's shopping baskets {{Speed Blitz}}zes.

* ''Anime/DeathNote'' loves doing this. You'd be surprised how epic [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skfMexjZ4O0 eating chips]] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjydsimSvHk writing in a notebook]] can really be. You obviously aren't trying hard enough. Granted, said notebook is an ArtifactOfDoom that ''kills'' people when their names are written in it, but is dashing across the desk (complete with red/blue after-effects and flaming eyes) really necessary? The manga wasn't anywhere quite as ridiculous with some of these aspects, and it's arguable this is just a result of trying to transfer the striking and stylized visuals possible with individual panels.

** DeathNote seems to have a second premise away from the story: MAKING ''EVERYTHING'' EPIC!!!!!!

* In ''PrinceOfTennis'', a mere tennis serve is illustrated by a sequence including the extinction of the dinosaurs by a meteor shower of tennis balls. Happily, this means the series about tennis does, indeed, put more drama into tennis than [[DeathNote the series about mass murder]] does.

** Naturally, ''HaruhiChan'' takes it further, with ''DeathNote''-style doodling-as-swordplay and Kyon and Haruhi building balloon-modeling into a fierce battle.

* The last episode of ''MacademiWasshoi'' features an intensive manga drawing scene complete with evil overlord pencil techniques, maniacal laughs, and pencils leaving streak marks across the sky... all too similar to [[DeathNote a certain other anime]].

* It looks like the ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' anime [[AffectionateParody learned a few things about this trope]] from ''DeathNote'' (even throwing in a [[TheCameo shinigami at the end]]), seeing how it kicked off its 3rd season with what else but tactical warfare over...who'd get to eat sukiyaki?

* ''OnaniMasterKurosawa'' is basically DeathNote [[XMeetsY but with fapping]]. Yes, really.

* In ''{{Bleach}}'' the [[RuleOfFunny king of this trope]] might be Uryuu who occasionally displays lightning-fast, incredibly accurate... ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qqIst0t96A sewing]]'' skills, complete with the same stern concentration he has when fighting or speaking of [[SeriousBusiness quincy pride]]. It's also applied to him more generally as he'll make his own uniform for battle, solely for the sake of looking cool. He even has a [[CrazyPrepared back-up cape]] just in case the one he's wearing gets damaged.

* ''AzumangaDaioh'' -- Who knew test scores could be so action-packed?

* What terrifying event upon the Flying Pussyfoot drives [[Literature/{{Baccano}} Isaac and Miria]] to horrified tears? It's not the hijackers, or the apparent appearance of the [[UrbanLegend Rail Tracer]]. Nor is it the mutilated, unrecognizable corpses scattering the train cars. The truly terrifying thing is the sudden realization that ''they forgot to get Ennis a present!'' '''[[BigNo NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!]]'''

* ''{{Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan}}'' plays Sakura-kun's death and resurrection in this manner in the final episode of the first series. Normally, this would be a legitimately dramatic scene... but in this series, this happens at least {{once an episode}} and is played purely for comedy, so handling it as if it were actually dramatic only makes it funnier -- which was probably their intention.

* ''{{Akagi}}'' will freight the outcome of a simple round of {{Mahjong}} with [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic an amount of drama and symbolic content]] roughly on par with [[TheBible the Book of Revelation]].
