Ranma ½: The third episode ends with Kunou confessing his love to girl-type Ranma in this setting. In The Movie, Big Trouble in Nekonron, China, the cast address their resolve to rescue Akane from Kirin and the Seven Lucky Gods against an image of the setting sun with the word "youth" stamped on it. In a story where Principal Kuno vows to teach Akane how to swim, she has all but given up (and has a mild neurotic breakdown) when Ranma, the Principal, and all her classmates encourage her to try again, with the setting sun framing them. She tries again. And fails. |

Parodied at the end of the first episode of Brigadoon: Marin and Melan. After Melan rescues Marin, they face each other against the sunset. He's worried about whether she was injured. She's just worried about whether he saw her patched underwear. | |

Early in Angel, he made a speech reaffirming his commitment to protecting people while watching the sun set, and as it went down smashed the magical ring that made him invulnerable so he could see it. | |

The final scene of episode 18 of Yes! Pretty Cure 5 GoGo had Syrup and Urara having a meaningful conversation in this setting, and then he gave her an "air ticket" as a gift for her, in case she wants to ride him (not that way) to feel the wind on her face. And all of that just held even more evidence that they were eventually going to become the Gamma Couple, with Nuts/Komachi as the Beta and Coco/Nozomi as the Alpha. |

Mon Colle Knights' Show Within A Show sees this happen with Sergeant Bunchou and an ally, which later tops off a delusion by Count Collection where he sees Mondo against such a sunset, and believes it to be proof of his newly formed bond with Mondo, complete with hallucination of Mondo wearing the clothes of the sergeant. Mondo for his part is actually thinking about Rokuna. | |

Ouran High School Host Club has a scene where Tamaki is carrying Haruhi out of the ocean after having saved her from drowning. There's a beautiful sunset behind him as he walks onto shore. The last episode of the anime also has Tamaki and Haruhi falling from the bridge with this kind of sky, toward the water below holding onto one another. |

One Piece: Sogeking's personal introduction ends with him staring out from a cliff at the setting sun. Fitting, since the whole sequence was a massive parody of the opening sequences of Japanese hero shows. The Nine Red Scabbards gained their epithet after being seen marching to battle with Kozuki Oden against Kaido to the backdrop of the setting sun, which made their katanas shine burning red. |

In the Ultra Series, whenever vows are made involving the Ultra's human forms. Ultraseven have Dan confronting the fake Dorothy Anderson at the end of a cliffhanger during a two-parter. Dan then runs towards the camera with the sun in the background. The pilot of Return of Ultraman, where Hideki - as Ultraman Jack, having killed his first monster, Earthron, and made a vow to the MAT crew, then faces the setting sun as the credits roll. Ultraman Leo have the returning hero, Ultraseven, and the show's new hero Ultraman Leo as they made a pact to fight any and all alien threats against Earth. Dan even compares himself to the setting sun and Leo to the rising sun. |

In Macross 7, Basara sits on the roof and writes a song against the red setting sun — only the red setting sun is a fake projection against a humongous screen, designed to make the interstellar colony ship that's his home seem more Earth-like. In the song, he refers to a red sunset projected on a screen.... | |
