History FreezeFrameBonus / AnimeAndManga

* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' has a few of these. For example when Anya is looking through a photo album if you freeze at the right moment you can see [[http://i43.tinypic.com/4r8djl.jpg a picture]] of Milly groping Shirley. The first season has a lot of (usually) very good English text on video monitors that give out a lot of little bits of information like minor character details for both the Black Knights and Britannians.

* During the ninth episode of ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'', Ao gives Shiori a plan [[spoiler:for [[InnocentCohabition living at Mira's house]]]] called "Proposal for a New Life," compiled by her friends. Its content only appeared for a second or so, and Website/{{Crunchyroll}} only translates its heading. Some of its contents becomes essential to understand some of what Ao does [[spoiler:to follow Mira to Ishigaki]]. To cope with the extra expenses arising from her living separately, she has to work at the Suzuya Bakery[[spoiler:; and this is why she can get a salary advance from Moe]].

* ''Manga/TwilightStarSuiAndNeri'': In the table of contents of the manga's Volume 2 by closely looking into the briefcase that says "December 24, 2531". This is fully affirmed that the whole story takes place 500 years into TheFuture, specifically 2531.

* ''Manga/TwilightStarSuiAndNeri'': In the table of contents of the manga's Volume 2, zooming into the briefcase that says "December 24, 2531", fully affirming that the whole story takes place 500 years into TheFuture, specifically 2531.

* This trope tells you Rukia of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' [[http://i54.tinypic.com/i1a0d2.png doesn't wear a panty]] underneath her long skirt. This snapshot shows nearly as much of her lower anatomy as is allowed.

* English-speaking fans of the sweet shoujo series ''VideoGame/{{Angelique}}'' were rather surprised to see [[http://angeasylum.com/images/captions/pink.jpg text from an article]] about ''Series/QueerAsFolkUK'' show up as an eye-catch background in the second OVA series.

** In the final episode, [[spoiler:Satan]] plainly explains to Akira during his monologue how demons and devilmen have become the basis of all human myths and legends, particularly showing a still images montage of [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent a Wolf-Man]], [[UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler Vlad III the Impaler]], [[Myth/HinduMythology Ganesha]], [[Myth/EgyptianMythology a Sphinx]], [[Myth/ClassicalMythology a Minotaur]], [[Myth/ClassicalMythology a Centaur]], [[Myth/HinduMythology Hayagriva]], and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the prehistoric fossils]] of [[MixAndMatchCritter a chimeric monster with an avian head and lobster pincers]] and a [[Main/OurManticoresAreSpinier manticore-like]] fossil.

* In ''Anime/{{Catnapped}}'' when the giant Papadoll attacks the city and the cat people are evacuating their demolished houses, the WesternAnimation/PinkPanther can be spotted briefly in the crowd.

* In episode 10 of ''Literature/DirtyPair'' (the TV series), during the aircar chase, Yuri can briefly be seen making the ''[[EyelidPulltaunt akanbe]]'' gesture out the window of the aircar.
** In one of the OVA episodes, pausing on the "before-after" slides of [[SuperSerum Hustle]] users reveals some additional effects of the drug that are otherwise not alluded to in the episode -- for instance, one user's IQ went from ''180'' to ''60''.
* In ''Manga/FairyTail'' if you pause at certain scenes you can see strange creatures such as a strange fish/thing/God-knows-what coming out of the water and farting. Some are harder to notice than others.
* In Creator/RumikoTakahashi's ''Fire Tripper'' (only available on VHS), look very closely at the flames in the early scene where Shukumaru is trying to rescue his little sister Suzu from the burning building. Is that [[spoiler: Suzuko, the teen version of Suzu from the future still decked out in her school uniform, standing in the doorway]]? Why, yes it is, for all of about two frames before the flames cover the shot.
* In ''Anime/{{Mapletown}}'' if you pause the intro when Patty falls over after the grass starts bulging to turn into a roof you will see she isn't wearing her undies while these are clearly visible sticking out from under her dress throughout the intro's remainder.
* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** A lot of crowd scenes in the anime feature a guy with a panda mask, or a full costume. The [[http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Pandaman Pandaman]] is never on screen for more than a few seconds, and always hidden like Waldo in a group of other characters.
** When one freezes the scene where Luffy shows his first wanted poster, there is a small bit of text under his bounty worth. Roughly translated, it's a ThisIsAWorkOfFiction Disclaimer.
* ''Anime/ProjectAKo'' has several of these:
** Similar to the ''Macross'' example above, some of the missiles are sake cans.
** The brief scene showing the interior of the Max 5000 mecha reveals that it contains a ''shishi odoshi''.
** In one scene where B-ko is in the background, she very briefly takes out some paper fans, waves them around, then puts them away.
** ''Plot of the Daitokuji Financial Group'' has a scene where one of the spies shoots a firework rocket which goes out the window and explodes. At the instant it goes off, there's a picture of C-ko waving paper fans.
** In the opening of ''Cinderella Rhapsody'', a split-second before a cut, some of the pool balls split in half.
** And during the broadcast of the alien invasion in ''Final'', [[Manga/{{Akira}} Kenada, Kei, Yamagata]], and his girlfriend are briefly seen with their backs turned, watching a row of monitors.
* In ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'', among the buildings destroyed in the first episode are the studios Creator/StudioNue, Creator/{{Artland}}, and Anime Friend, which all worked on ''Macross''. The Studio Nue building has a picture of their chibi-''nue'' mascot on it, and the mascot's facial expression changes to a frightened one while the building collapses. (The mascot is depicted in the lower left corner of the image [[http://macross.anime.net/memories/01/index.html here]].)
** In TheMovie adaptation ''Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove'', while Hikaru is flying through the LaserHallway just before he reaches Bodolza, he fires several flights of missiles. One of the missiles is a can of 'Tako Hai'. One of the other missiles is a can of Budweiser.
* In Episode 10 of ''Anime/TropicalRougePrettyCure'', pausing on Manatsu's failed quiz shows that she somehow managed to get ''her own name'' marked incorrect.
* In ''Anime/TenchiMuyoRyoOhki'' episode 7 ("The Night Before the Carnival"), when Ryoko intentionally has a CrashIntoHello meeting with Tenchi, at the moment of the collision, there is a picture of both of them drawn in SuperDeformed style.
* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has eye catches in a few of the [[HitFlash collision flashes]] as well. Among them are;
** Ukyo holding the arms of a Anime/{{Voltron}}-like robot.
** Shampoo, naked.
** Ryoga with a word bubble screaming OH MY GOD - because he's looking at Ranma and Akane embracing ''stark naked.''
** In the anime it's not uncommon to see characters from Rumiko Takahashi's older works like Urusei Yatsura in a quick crowd shot, or in the case of Cherry the priest, as a statue.
* ''Anime/SailorMoon'':
** At least once, during a collision (Chibi-Usa landing onto Usagi) there was even a shot of Usagi ''naked'', "sadly" drawn in a SuperDeformed style that prevented any chance of {{Fanservice}}.
** In one episode, her English assignment has a bit of text referring to a tired businessman going out for "comfort" from a young woman after work. The last frame barely shows a line about the girl in question being a ''new-half''[[note]]Pre-op transgender presenting as female.[[/note]]
* ''Anime/ErgoProxy'' has most of its back story spread throughout the opening credits in this form.
** Most of the notes in episode 16 are poems and short stories by Stanley Donwood. A quick search reveals he has a connection with Thom Yorke of Music/{{Radiohead}}, who wrote the ending song.
* In ''Anime/ExcelSaga'', during the first time Excel gets dropped down the [[OverlyLongGag very, very, very long]] pit, she passes by a number of {{shout out}}s that can't really be caught unless you go very slowly.

* ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Gundam Wing]]'' does this a couple of times. In the episode where Heero is hospitalized, the computer display includes text taken from the readme file for Photoshop's TWAIN plugin. More subtly, when Quatre is shown examining the blueprints to Sandrock, the startup screen includes several technological references to other ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' series, including the movable frame from ''[[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam Zeta Gundam]]'' and the ALICE artificial intelligence from ''Gundam Sentinel''.
** When Heero deactivate the nuclear missiles, you can see a sign that says "Intel Outside".
** ''G Gundam'' does this as well with the last episode or two where various Gundam's from various series help fight in the end. Such Gundams inlcude the original, the Zeta Gundam, and some Wing stuff in there as well to boot.
*** Which doubles as a EarlyBirdCameo. G was the first AlternateUniverse ''Gundam'' series, W was the second. There was a bit of overlap when both were in production at the same time, making this cameo possible.
** Also in ''G Gundam'', during the second opening sequence, you can see a man wearing a ''[[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration Next Generation]]''-era Starfleet uniform in the crowd around Argo Gulski. This man is actually [[CreatorCameo series director Yasuhiro Imawaga]], who's on the record as being a giant ''Trek'' fan.
* In chronological episode 11 of ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', Mikuru actually has an extremely brief PantyShot when she jumps over the camera.
* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/732c262467b99195f741bfc4672e4f66.jpg From episode 9]] of ''Manga/YourLieInApril''. [[spoiler:Little Kaori]] can be seen among the audience (behind Tsubaki's seat) that watching Kousei's first performance just after his mother's death.
* Near the beginning of ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemistTheConquerorOfShamballa'', right after Ed tells Al that he rigged the evil lair to explode, there's a cutaway to show some pipes blowing up. If you pause just before the explosion you see an unflattering drawing of Colonel Mustang on one of the pipes. It's implied that Ed did it.
** In another episode of the first anime, "Fullmetal vs. Flame," there's a scene in which Edward and Mustang are fighting. Ed hides in the crowd of military onlookers because Mustang can't possibly blow everyone up for the hell of it. Mustang taunts Ed out with a [[BerserkButton short remark]], which causes Ed to reveal himself in the crowd. Mustang sends a streak of flame that way that blows up the area, sending military men flying everywhere. One man flies directly in front of the camera, moving so fast you barely see him; however, a freeze frame will reveal that he has the most hilarious (blue) face that the artists have ever done in that anime.
*** He also looks a little like Seiji Mizushima, the [[CreatorCameo director]].
** Before that, in the third episode of the same anime, we see a few quick pans over "Intro to Alchemy", a textbook Ed and Al are familiar with. However, examining the text after pausing the episode will reveal that it was apparently copy-and-pasted from [[http://imgur.com/KiJdiej a review of "Alchemy and Herbalists", a Dungeons and Dragons sourcebook.]]
* In the 2009 anime version of ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' In a couple of episodes if you read the newspaper talking about the war in Ishval (the 10th episode of season 1) the story on the right of the page is actually about the Rodney King Beatings and LA Riots)
* Practically every second of every episode of ''Anime/PaniPoniDash'' contains some reference or ShoutOut to something, often unbelievably obscure. The blackboard in particular contains different text every time it's viewed; it's often ''covered'' in text, with five or six references at once, and appears for only a split second. The PDF liner notes that come with the {{Fansub}} can stretch to over ''twenty pages''.
** ''Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei'' is almost its successor in this regard. Shaft in general is known for this.

** In the final episode, [[spoiler:Satan]] plainly explains to Akira during his monologue how demons and devilmen have become the basis of all human myths and legends, particularly showing a still images montage of [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent a Wolf-Man]], [[UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler Vlad III the Impaler]], [[Myth/HinduMythology Ganesha]], [[Myth/EgyptianMythology a Sphinx]], [[Myth/ClassicalMythology a Minotaur]], [[Myth/ClassicalMythology a Centaur]], [[Myth/HinduMythology Hayagriva]], and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the prehistoric fossils]] of [[MixAndMatchCritter a chimeric monster with an avian head and lobster pincers]] and a [[Main/OurManticoresAreSpinier manticore-like]] fossil
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''
** The show has this to a small degree in the opening, and to a much larger degree during ''End of Evangelion''. ''End of Evangelion'' has Misato being blown into pieces and a brief shot of fan mail Anno received, to name only two.
*** Kaworu's face is shown in a completely red picture, just before we see Rei in moonlight.
** ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion 2.0'' has '''Asuka [[NippleAndDimed fanservice]]''' featured like this.
** It has also become a tool of foreshadowing or [[WildMassGuessing messing with fans' heads]] in ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion''.
*** The Evangelion Mark.06 is hiding familiar battle damage under its helmet.
*** The medical display of Asuka's [[spoiler:Angel infection shows it spreading through all the same spots as Asuka Langley Soryu's injuries in ''End of Evangelion''.]]
*** The latest trailer shows Asuka [[spoiler:wearing her old plug suit, battle damage and all]].
*** Even more ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'' [[ShoutOut references]] have been squeezed into shots involving the [[spoiler:Adams]].
** An unintentional example: Creator/MadmanEntertainment's DVD release of the original TV anime has a little extra. [[https://www.reddit.com/r/evangelion/comments/92sc2f/strange_video_on_my_evangelion_dvd/ As documented by Reddit user Superhondanut]], while viewing Shigeru's profile in the MAGI files that are on the Collection 0:7 volume, a short clip of now-former porn star Annabel Chong in her undergarments can be seen during the menu loop that focuses on the profile. It turns out that this was an authoring error by Madman, and that clip -- which was actually from the documentary ''Sex: The Annabel Chong Story'' that they also released -- was mistakingly inserted into an anime DVD.
* A lot of the {{Shout Out}}s in ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'' are quick blink-and-miss freeze frames.
* In ''Film/{{Metropolis}}'', after [[spoiler:the character Lamp]] is shot and killed, a candle appears by his head for a second or two.
* English-speaking fans of the sweet shoujo series ''VideoGame/{{Angelique}}'' were rather surprised to see [[http://angeasylum.com/images/captions/pink.jpg text from an article]] about ''Series/QueerAsFolk'' show up as an eye-catch background in the second OVA series.
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' has a few of these. For example when Anya is looking through a photo album if you freeze at the right moment you can see [[http://i43.tinypic.com/4r8djl.jpg a picture]] of Milly groping Shirley. The first season has a lot of (usually) very good English text on video monitors that give out a lot of little bits of information like minor character details for both the Black Knights and Britannians.
* Episode 12 of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaStrikers''. "When did Nanoha arrive in the nick of time?" you may wonder. Well, slow down the episode at the scene just before the commercial break, and you will see a single frame of Nanoha's InstantRunes appearing [[spoiler:[[TakingTheBullet in the path of]] [[SmallGirlBigGun Dieci's massive beam attack]]]].
* ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'':
** If you pause the anime's first opening at around the one minute and fifteen second mark, you can see Rui on a tree branch in the background, the Mother demon in the background behind and to the right of Inosuke, and the Sister demon behind Zenitsu.
** During Tanjiro’s fight against Yahaba, there’s two different angle shots of the same stance where Tanjiro works his way out of Yahaba’s vector powers, one shot has Tanjiro’s Water Breathing attacks embedded with the usual water effects, but the other quick shot has Tanjiro perform his attacks without any water around his sword despite it being the exact same scene; in any other series this would be an animation error, but in here the animators did a quick nod to the fact none of the elemental visuals accompanying the Breathing Styles are real, they are just visual flair to make their attacks look cooler.

* Similar to the ''Sailor Moon'' example above, ''Literature/{{Slayers}}''' anime adaptation has some single-frame eyecatches that can only really be seen in freeze frame. A memorable one includes a super-deformed Gourry mooning the audience, as well as a frame of [[http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9628/zelrose.png Zelgadis with a rose in his mouth]] after Lina kicks him in the first season and a shot of a super-deformed Amelia after she gets hit in the head with a mace in the second.

** Honey, I shrunk the Keionbu?
* Kuniko's panty shot in the finale of ''Literature/ShangriLa'' ([[AllMenArePerverts if that counts as a Freeze Frame Bonus]]).
* What's [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Squidward]] doing in my [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Gunman]]?
** The same thing [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Kenny]] is doing in your [[Anime/{{FLCL}} keychain]].
* In the final episode of ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'''s first season, we get an upskirt of [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Shinobu]]. Most people will probably only realize that there ''should'' have been an upskirt somewhere in there later on. [[spoiler: It's an upskirt and not a panty shot because she's only wearing [[VaporWear a bandaid]].]]
** Bakemonogatari in general contains countless examples of this trope, thanks to the frequency of "black" and "red scenes," sudden blank frames inserted into the animation which occur when the protagonist blinks or is experiencing considerable emotion. Although they usually don't contain anything other than a few Japanese characters which pertain to the situation, and they probably aren't intended to be read, they sometimes contain important information. In the first episode, for instance, much of the show's background is laid out in this way, but is impossible to read without pausing.
* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'':
** During the first episode of ''Black and White'''s [[TournamentArc Club Battle]], as we get over a pan of the contestants, Georgia appears twice. Or rather, Georgia appears, and Luke's Zorua disguised as her makes a quick cameo.
** In ''Diamond and Pearl'', Dawn gets a one-frame PantyShot when she and Ash hitch a ride on a Mantine during "Steamboat Willies".
** At the end of ''Sun and Moon'', one of the plane seat undersides reveals Jigglypuff hitched a ride back to Kanto.
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'':
** In episode 3, as Madoka and Mami are entering Charlotte's maze, there is a sign "Caution" with [[spoiler:a row of decapitated corpses on crosses. [[FalseReassurance But don't worry]]! [[BlatantLies It's not like they're]] {{Foreshadowing}} [[OffWithHisHead anyone's death or anything]]!]]
** In the CompilationMovie version of Episode 9, there is a hidden frame of [[spoiler:[[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:SHAFTUSNEAKY.png Kyoko and Sayaka together]], lifted from ''[[ImageSong And I'm Home]]'' when [[TogetherInDeath Kyoko's Soul Gem explodes and kills both her and Sayaka/Oktavia]]]].
** In episode 11, during Homura's battle with [[spoiler:Walpurgisnacht]], she pulls some huge artillery cannons out of a river; for a split second, you can see [[Creator/StudioShaft "SHAFT"]] written on the side of one of them.
* While we're on the subject of ''FLCL'', it's also worth mentioning an equally-insane effort by one of the directors, ''Anime/DeadLeaves''. In a scene where the prisoners get shot, a penis flies off and into another's mouth. It appears around the 17:38 mark, visible in the general area around the robot prisoner's head.
* ''VideoGame/FatalFury: [[TheMovie The Motion Picture]]'', during some of [[MsFanservice Mai Shiranui's]] fight scenes, particularly the last one, careful frame-by-frame viewing reveals several brief [[WardrobeMalfunction nipple slips]]. Considering Mai's [[{{Stripperiffic}} outfit]], her [[LightningBruiser fighting style]], and her sizable endowments, it's surprising this sort of thing [[TheissTitillationTheory never seems to happen]] in any of the games.
* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' has fun putting in a number of freeze frame bonuses, from informative (Wild Tiger is a former holder of the King of Heroes title, and Mr. Legend was responsible for Jake Martinez's arrest) to amusing (Samantha's photo album included Barnaby's suggestive speedo pics, and someone managed to get an exclusive interview with ''[[VigilanteMan Lunatic]]'').
** Every single time there is text on the screen it is in fully thought out sentences and paragraphs, from the news ticker below Hero TV to the data on a computer screen to the books read.

* This trope tells you Rukia of ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' [[http://i54.tinypic.com/i1a0d2.png doesn't wear a panty]] underneath her long skirt. This snapshot shows nearly as much of her lower anatomy as is allowed.
* ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'' - While lasting longer than most examples, in the third episode of season 1 of the anime when Shana trashes various teachers, one of them looks like UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler.
* ''Anime/TheIdolmaster'' - Haruka and Chihaya have a sleepover in an apartment building named "Mber". Haruka, Chihaya, and Imber were in a robomantic love triangle in Anime/{{Idolmaster|Xenoglossia}} [[MythologyGag Xenoglossia.]]
* ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' has some of these hidden in [[HitFlash collision flashes]], often in the form of a character's eyes being briefly depicted as large circles with something written inside. It also has some high-speed tracking shots (often used for chase scenes) where various things are briefly visible as the "camera" rapidly moves past them; in episode 158, for example, a shot like this briefly shows Franchise/LupinIII and Jigen in a yellow Fiat 500.
* The opening for the ''Battle Tendency'' arc of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' has brief images of thorny vines over a scene of Joseph punching and posing; this is a CallForward to the next story arc, ''Stardust Crusaders, where Joseph develops a [[FightingSpirit Stand]] named Hermit Purple.
** The ''[=JoJo=]'' openings contain several of these; for example, in ''Battle Tendency''[='s=] opening, the name Kamikaze Douga briefly changes into Kamiarashi Douga, a reference to Wammu's [[BlowYouAway Divine Sandstorm]] attack. In ''Stardust Crusaders''[='=] second opening, the song's title ("JOJO ~ Sono Chi no Kioku"[[note]]"JOJO ~ The Memory of This Blood[[/note]]) changes into the title of the ''Phantom Blood''[='s=] theme song ("Sono Chi no Sadame"[[note]]"The Destiny of This Blood"[[/note]]) for about one frame.
* ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' is full of little details only available when looking like this, such as the correct 'plume' from the muzzle flashes in some of the shots of tanks firing.
* ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato2199'' has a lot of English visible in freeze-frames. It also has a massive spoiler hidden in one...[[spoiler: at the end of Episode 25, a freeze-frame shot of Dessler's ship exploding reveals that he's cheated death for the ''third'' time.]]
* In ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' when Tetsuo gets a headache after arguing with Kaneda and starts getting visions, you will see a series of scenes that yet to occur in the film at that point such as Tetsuo's flashback to meeting Kaneda, his mutation, and Tokyo blowing up.
* This is used during several of the ''Anime/LupinIII'' [[MadeForTVMovie Made for TV Movies]] and television specials:
** In ''Anime/LupinIIIDeadOrAlive'', Lupin is shown researching the "sand" he found at Drifting Island. The computer screen briefly gives out the atomic weight and number. [[spoiler: The computer {{Engrish}} calls it Atomic Quantity, but the numbers are for the weight and number of '''Gold'''.]]
** There's also a brief instance in ''[[Anime/LupinIIIThePursuitOfHarimaosTreasure The Pursuit of Harimao's Treasure]]'' where, if you pause at just the right moment during the close-up of the boat jump sequence, you'll see [[spoiler: a little kid with his hands up the tour guide's skirt, with his hands on her ass]]!
** And in the television special, ''[[Recap/LupinIIIS2E145 Albatross: Wings of Death]]'', there's two close-ups of Fujiko's naked fanny as she's running through Lumbach's plane. The first is relatively easy to catch as she runs into the frame, the other is so brief that it almost requires you to pause, then go frame-by-frame in order to see it.
* ''Literature/{{Shimoneta}}'' has several between its OP and ED sequences:
** The most noticeable one, during the OP, is the profile shot of Ayame as she [[BackToBackBadasses poses back-to-back]] with Tanukichi. It last just long enough for viewer to see she really ''[[GoingCommando is]]'' [[ModestyBedsheet naked]] while in her Blue Snow disguise.
** During the chorus, there's a still frame of Bikin-chan cupping her hands between her thighs to hold her skirt down, right as a member of Gathered Fabric has pulled her panties completely off her legs.
** And the ED of episode 9 has still frame of [[spoiler: Oboro]] that confirms he ''really does'' [[DudeLooksLikeALady look like a lady]] - even when fully nude. Not only does he have a woman's figure, you'll also see he's crossing his arms over his chest the same way a woman does, when topless.
* ''[[Anime/StreetFighterIITheAnimatedMovie Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie]]'' has one that's very easy to miss, if you don't know about it, or know when to look for it. But if you pause during the montage sequence in Calcutta, right before the soldier gets shot to death, you'll see [[spoiler: Akuma]] [[LotusPosition meditating against the wall.]]
* During episode 9 of ''Manga/GourmetGirlGraffiti'', in a blink and you'll miss it moment, Shiina and her mother appear on the television very briefly when the announcers on tv mention the {{new year|has come}} while Kirin is attempting to feed Ryou.

* In ''Anime/GreenLegendRan'' when Ran and Aira have a splash fight, at one point when Aira returns fire she has a brief [[WardrobeMalfunction nipple slip]].
* ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'':
** The EyeCatch sequences in the anime adaptation usually display useful information about the world, filling viewers in on various subjects such as the three Walls, 3D Maneuvering Gear, and more. However, they pass after a few seconds, so it's difficult to read unless you pause them first. The final episode of season 1 has two [[WallOfText walls of text]] that '''require''' this, and it's foreshadowing TheStinger to boot.
** In Episode 1, there's a split-second shot of a decapitated statue wearing a soldier's outfit sitting by a fireplace during Eren's cryptic dream at the beginning. Keen-eyed viewers who've read the manga will notice that [[spoiler:it's a statue of Helos, the savior of Marley who slayed the Earth Devil and joined forces with the Tybur family to overthrow Karl Fritz]].
** In Episode 37, [[spoiler:immediately after Hannes is eaten]], a group of flowers being splashed with blood briefly flashes on screen. [[spoiler:The exact same group of flowers splashed with blood from Eren's cryptic dream in Episode 1]].

* In ''Manga/{{Hanayamata}}'', when Naru and friends look at a list of their school's clubs, it includes a school idol club, a tank club, and a love research club ([[ShoutOut shout-outs]] to ''Franchise/LoveLive'', ''Anime/GirlsUndPanzer'' and ''Koi-Ken!'' respectively).
* In ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'', a MonsterOfTheWeek-to-be is looking at a list of results.[[http://magicalgirlsandcerulean.tumblr.com/post/111367788403/takashin-matsuji-sarcastic-tone-i-wonder-who Takashin Matsuji]] got third.
* ''Anime/BubukiBuranki'' uses this in its opening, providing the kanji for [[EmpathicWeapon Bubuki]] ("dance battle implement") and [[HumongousMecha Buranki]] ("dance violence implement"). Without noticing that, "Bubuki" and "Buranki" just seem like nonsense words. Further into the opening, it also names the main characters and the heroes' weapons.
* In the final episode of ''Anime/MazinkaiserSKL'', when Yuki analyzes the Iron Kaiser and the Gravity Curtain, her computer screen displays text copied from the English version of Website/ThatOtherWiki -- specifically, the articles for "Robot" and "Gravity" respectively.
* The opening of '' Anime/TheBigO'' has sets of layered newspaper clippings, which are obscured by spinning black shadows of the show's plot items. These clippings are a mix of English and German, and include multiple pieces about jazz festivals and performances, including an announcement of the death of Lester Young (an actual famed jazz saxophonist who died in 1959). Could be a case of ShownTheirWork, as the series was produced in 1999 and was set 40 years after a mass amnesia event, making the article very eerily synchronous.
* At the end of ''Anime/CastleInTheSky'' when Laputa collapses, you can actually see Colonel Muska falling to his death among the debris, it's at the part where the camera focuses on a big chunk of the castle as it's falling
* Doubles as {{Foreshadowing}} in ''Anime/DanganRonpa3''. In ''Side:Future'' episode 9, during the scene where the group is investigating [[spoiler: Kirigiris' lifeless body]], you can see [[spoiler: a familiar and empty bottle rolling past]]. [[spoiler: It's the first hint that her condition [[OnlyMostlyDead isn't as dire or permanent as it appears...]]]]
* In ''Literature/BeyondTheBoundary'', when Mirai briefly looks at a nude photo of Ai, pausing reveals that a heavily blurred nude is actually there.
* In ''Anime/Persona3TheMovie: #4 Winter of Rebirth'', when Makoto first summons Thanatos, there's a short flash where his silhouette changes to that of [[spoiler:Ryoji Mochizuki]].
* At the end of the second episode of ''Manga/{{Bokurano}}'', when Ushiro elbows Waku, [[spoiler:causing Waku to fall off the robot]], for a moment, Waku has a vacant expression on his face, rather than one of surprise or pain. [[spoiler:This foreshadows that he'd died before he fell]].
* ''Anime/BlazBlueAlterMemory'': When Ragna parries Ada's attack at the beginning of his fight with the Clover siblings, his expression is actually one of tedious resignation than anger or fear. Highlighted by ''Webcomic/{{Blazen}}'':
-->'''Ragna's InnerMonologue:''' ''This. This is my life. Just once, I would like to have a day, where I don't have to deal with any of this FUCKING HORSESHIT!''
* ''Manga/AssassinationClassroom'':
** The kanji displayed at the back of the classroom changes as the episodes progress. The text reads, "Assassination", "Speed of Sound", and "Tentacle".
** The "S.A.A.U.S.O." logo on the students' knives and weapons is a detail featured only in the anime. Pause at the right time and you'll find that it stands for "Special Arms Against Unidentified Slimy Octopus".
** The English print in the newspaper article describing Koro-sensei's assault on a pro baseball game becomes ten times funnier in the anime.
--->'''Article''': ...to encounter such a situation when I was pitching in a good condition. What the hell was it?" I am embarrassed since my teammates make fun of me, saying "JAPANESE HEITAI" and my wife gave me a meaningful comment, "I envy you". I had hard time a little bit to recover...
** The "Poison Storage" manga in Episode 5 is pretty amusing, but it's easy to miss since it's only glanced over for a few seconds.
** The second opening lists all the students' names in English, including a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shot of Kimura's real given name, "Justice", which isn't revealed until a few chapters later.
* The second opening to ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'' plays with the trope, as the camera points up for a moment as Mikoto passes overhead as if to tease with a split-second panty shot. But by this point, everyone knows Mikoto will have none of that, as (proven again by the opening) she wears ModestyShorts under her skirt.
* In ''Anime/{{Catnapped}}'' when the giant Papadoll attacks the city and the cat people are evacuating their demolished houses, the WesternAnimation/PinkPanther can be spotted briefly in the crowd.
* ''Manga/BloomIntoYou'' has a few cases in the anime version.
** When Yuu examines an old SchoolPlay script in Episode 4, [[spoiler:Mio Nanami(Touko's dead older sister)]]'s name can be seen in the cast list.
** Several of the text messaging conversations can be read if you pause and look closely, from Miyako making fun of Riko for being unathletic to Yuu messaging Natsuki.

* During the ninth episode of ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'', Ao gives Shiori a plan [[spoiler:for [[InnocentCohabition living at Mira's house]]]] called "Proposal for a New Life," compiled by her friends. Its content only appeared for a second or so, and Website/{{Crunchyroll}} only translates its heading. Some of its contents becomes essential to understand some of what Ao does [[spoiler:to follow Mira to Ishigaki]]. To cope with the extra expenses arising from her living separately, she has to work at the Suzuya Bakery[[spoiler:; and this is why she can get a salary advance from Moe]].
* ''Anime/YuriOnIce'':
** In the ending credits, if you pause the video during the quick transitions between the Instagram pictures, you can see the skaters' comments on the photos (in English to boot!), as well as other details like their account names and how many likes they have. You can also see that the last picture, a tender photo of Victor combing Yuri's hair, was uploaded by the Nishigori triplets.
** During a flashback in the first episode, Yuko briefly holds up a magazine that has an InUniverse interview with a younger Victor, [[http://lookiamnotcreative.tumblr.com/post/152194922083/has-anyone-done-this-yet-yes-no-maybe-in-any which is actually readable if you pause and zoom in enough]].

* ''Anime/SpaceBattleshipYamato2199'' has a lot of SurprisinglyGoodEnglish visible in freeze-frames. It also has a massive spoiler hidden in one...[[spoiler: at the end of Episode 25, a freeze-frame shot of Dessler's ship exploding reveals that he's cheated death for the ''third'' time.]]

** In the ending credits, if you pause the video during the quick transitions between the Instagram pictures, you can see the skaters' comments on the photos (in SurprisinglyGoodEnglish to boot!), as well as other details like their account names and how many likes they have. You can also see that the last picture, a tender photo of Victor combing Yuri's hair, was uploaded by the Nishigori triplets.

* In ''Manga/FairyTail'' if you pause at certain scenes you can see strange creatures such as a strange fish/thing/God-knows-what coming out of the water and farting. Some are harder to notice than others.

* In Creator/RumikoTakahashi's ''Fire Tripper'' (only available on VHS), look very closely at the flames in the early scene where Shukumaru is trying to rescue his little sister Suzu from the burning building. Is that [[spoiler: Suzuko, the teen version of Suzu from the future still decked out in her school uniform, standing in the doorway]]? Why, yes it is, for all of about two frames before the flames cover the shot.
* In ''Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross'', among the buildings destroyed in the first episode are the studios Creator/StudioNue, Creator/{{Artland}}, and Anime Friend, which all worked on ''Macross''. The Studio Nue building has a picture of their chibi-''nue'' mascot on it, and the mascot's facial expression changes to a frightened one while the building collapses. (The mascot is depicted in the lower left corner of the image [[http://macross.anime.net/memories/01/index.html here]].)
** In TheMovie adaptation ''Anime/MacrossDoYouRememberLove'', while Hikaru is flying through the LaserHallway just before he reaches Bodolza, he fires several flights of missiles. One of the missiles is a can of 'Tako Hai'. One of the other missiles is a can of Budweiser.

* In episode 10 of ''Literature/DirtyPair'' (the TV series), during the aircar chase, Yuri can briefly be seen making the ''[[EyelidPulltaunt akanbe]]'' gesture out the window of the aircar.
** In one of the OVA episodes, pausing on the "before-after" slides of [[SuperSerum Hustle]] users reveals some additional effects of the drug that are otherwise not alluded to in the episode -- for instance, one user's IQ went from ''180'' to ''60''.

** In the final episode, [[spoiler:Satan]] plainly explains to Akira during his monologue how demons and devilmen have become the basis of all human myths and legends, particularly showing a still images montage of [[{{Werewolf}} a Wolf-Man]], [[UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler Vlad III the Impaler]], [[Myth/HinduMythology Ganesha]], [[Myth/EgyptianMythology a Sphinx]], [[Myth/ClassicalMythology a Minotaur]], [[Myth/ClassicalMythology a Centaur]], [[Myth/HinduMythology Hayagriva]], and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers the prehistoric fossils]] of [[MixAndMatchCritter a chimeric monster with an avian head and lobster pincers]] and a [[Main/OurManticoresAreSpinier manticore-like]] fossil

** The brief scene showing the interior of the Max 5000 mecha reveals that it contains a ''[[TheThingThatGoesDoink shishi odoshi]]''.

* In episode 10 of ''LightNovel/DirtyPair'' (the TV series), during the aircar chase, Yuri can briefly be seen making the ''[[EyelidPulltaunt akanbe]]'' gesture out the window of the aircar.

* Subliminal frames (A filmography term for frames that last well under a second while playing) were often done for slapstick moments in the earlier seasons of the ''Anime/{{Slayers}}'' anime. Some examples include a frame of [[http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/9628/zelrose.png Zelgadis with a rose in his mouth]] after Lina kicks him in the first season and a shot of a super-deformed Amelia after she gets hit in the head with a mace in the second.

* The first time Anime/{{Excel|Saga}} gets dropped down the [[OverlyLongGag very, very, very long]] pit, she passes by a number of {{shout out}}s that can't really be caught unless you go very slowly.

* In chronological episode 11 of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', Mikuru actually has an extremely brief PantyShot when she jumps over the camera.

* [[Manga/DeathNote L]] [[http://img1.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire1/05202008/2/a/e/6/2ae6998b86a5d0_full.jpg riding a bike]] (among other ''Manga/DeathNote'' characters) in an episode of ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'': The Second Raid.
* Similar to the ''Sailor Moon'' example above, ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' has some single-frame eyecatches that can only really be seen in freeze frame. A memorable one includes a super-deformed Gourry mooning the audience.

* Kuniko's panty shot in the finale of ''LightNovel/ShangriLa'' ([[AllMenArePerverts if that counts as a Freeze Frame Bonus]]).

* In the final episode of ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'', we get an upskirt of [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Shinobu]]. Most people will probably only realize that there ''should'' have been an upskirt somewhere in there later on. [[spoiler: It's an upskirt and not a panty shot because she's only wearing [[VaporWear a bandaid]].]]

* ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'' - While lasting longer than most examples, in the third episode of season 1 of the anime when Shana trashes various teachers, one of them looks like UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler.

* ''Anime/UruseiYatsura'' has some of these hidden in [[HitFlash collision flashes]], often in the form of a character's eyes being briefly depicted as large circles with something written inside. It also has some high-speed tracking shots (often used for chase scenes) where various things are briefly visible as the "camera" rapidly moves past them; in episode 158, for example, a shot like this briefly shows Franchise/LupinIII and Jigen in a yellow Fiat 500.

* ''LightNovel/{{Shimoneta}}'' has several between its OP and ED sequences:

* In Anime/BeyondTheBoundary, when Mirai briefly looks at a nude photo of Ai, pausing reveals that a heavily blurred nude is actually there.

* Near the beginning of the ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist'' [[TheMovie movie]], right after Ed tells Al that he rigged the evil lair to explode, there's a cutaway to show some pipes blowing up. If you pause just before the explosion you see an unflattering drawing of Colonel Mustang on one of the pipes. It's implied that Ed did it.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': During the first episode of the [[TournamentArc Club Battle]], as we get over a pan of the contestants, Georgia appears twice. Or rather, Georgia appears, and Zorua disguised as her makes a quick cameo.

* In the final episode of ''Anime/MazinkaiserSKL'', when Yuki analyzes the Iron Kaiser and the Gravity Curtain, her computer screen displays text copied from the English version of Wiki/ThatOtherWiki -- specifically, the articles for "Robot" and "Gravity" respectively.

* In chronological episode 11 of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', Mikuru actually has an extremely brief panty shot when she jumps over the camera.

* In chronological episode 11 of ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'', Mikuru actually has an extremely brief PantyShot when she jumps over the camera.

* Kuniko's PantyShot in the finale of ''LightNovel/ShangriLa'' ([[AllMenArePerverts if that counts as a Freeze Frame Bonus]]).

* In the final episode of ''LightNovel/{{Bakemonogatari}}'', we get an upskirt of [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Shinobu]]. Most people will probably only realize that there ''should'' have been an upskirt somewhere in there later on. [[spoiler: It's an upskirt and not a {{Pantyshot}} because she's only wearing [[VaporWear a bandaid]].]]

* The second opening to ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'' plays with the trope, as the camera points up for a moment as Mikoto passes overhead as if to tease with a split-second PantyShot. But by this point, everyone knows Mikoto will have none of that, as (proven again by the opening) she wears ModestyShorts under her skirt.

** The EyeCatch sequences in the anime adaptation usually display useful information about the world, filling viewers in on various subjects such as the three Walls, 3D Maneuvering Gear, and more. However, they pass after a few seconds, so it's difficult to read unless you pause them first.
