Line 19:
* ''[[Sketchbook]]'': There were some cats, a chicken and a crayfish (and briefly a lobster). The cats had big anime eyes and made un-catlike sounds; the chicken was extremely cartoony, and the crayfish could have been taken out of a field guide to North American streams.
** ''[[Sketchbook Full Colors|Sketchbook ~full color'S]]'' greatly differs between animals and pets, as dogs, cats and chicken were displayed in a cute way while wild animals (fishes, crayfishes and insects) in a realistic way.
* ''[[Ranma
* In one of many nods to [[MC Escher|M. C. Escher]], [[Mamoru Oshii]]'s movie ''[[Urusei Yatsura]] 2: Beautiful Dreamer'' has a scene in which we see puddles, showing the reflection of the gang walking above, leaves on the surface, and a carp impossibly swimming below.
* In one episode of ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'', Jin is shown fishing; the fish are portrayed more realistically than the characters themselves or any other animals.
* In ''[[Yotsubato|Yotsuba&!]]'' the fish are depicted as living beings that bleed, much to the distress of Miura (depicted above). They get caught to be eaten and, once cooked into food, even Miura has absolutely no objections.
* In ''[[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Azumanga Daioh]]'', cats are about as unrealistic as you'd expect (not counting Chiyo-dad). For dogs, Mr. Tadakachi looks more like a plushie Great Pyrenees than a real one. But when the girls go scuba-diving during the class trip, the fish are quite realistic. Oddly enough, at one point Sakaki reads a cat magazine while planning a (short-lived) attempt to take a picture of Kamineko; the cat pictures she looks at are, appropriately, [[Art Shift|photorealistic]].
* ''
** This is practically the only time Tezuka uses this trope, though. Most of his fish are pretty damn cartoony. The best example would probably be Mach Fumiake (named after a famous female wrestler), the prize carp from the ''[[Black Jack (Manga)|Black Jack]]'' story ''Heart of a Giant''.
* ''[[Nagasarete Airantou]]'': A while after coming to Airantou, Ikuto finds he can understand and talk to the Mon-style animals of the island. In an omake, he learns that the original castaways decide they couldn't eat such cute, playful creatures and so only eat fish for meat. The fish, although showing some sign of intelligence, tend to be ugly and spiny but delicious.
Line 32:
* Title character aside (and even he can look it [[Art Shift|when he needs to]]), all the animals are rendered realistically in [[Gon]], and anthropomorphised with human expressions or emotions as needed in each story, fish included.
* An episode of [[Kirby of the Stars]] had Kirby feed a recently hatched limbless dragon, Galbo, tons of fish from a nearby lake. This taking place in a world where alot of the creatures, even some of the plants, are sentient in some way.
* "Doubutsu no Kuni" is a huge offender of this trope. The world of Animal Country is populated with [[Civilized Animal|Civilized Animals]], some with more varying degrees of anthropomorphism (the tanukis look like bipedal teddy bears with comically over-sized heads, while the wolves are more like [[Talking Animal|Talking Animals]]). Part of the manga's main themes is the issue of the strong animals eating the weak ones, yet no one raises a paw when the Tanukis catch fish to survive for the winter or when the adopted human offers a fish to a pack of wolves who previously attacked the Tanuki village to feed a starving cub.
