An eyecatch, or commercial bumper, is a short blurb displayed when a series goes to or comes back from commercial. Anime eyecatches tend to be either humorous, with a little musical sting played over them, or simple representative pictures with the series' name; they are often an opportunity for gratuitous Fanservice. Series that run for more than one quarter frequently will have several eyecatch styles over their run, sometimes with a small set of choices that rotate from episode to episode.
Saturday morning cartoons in North America frequently had one generic set of "we'll be back after these messages" Ad Bumpers per network, played at breaks for all of the series running on that network. Generally in the west, the term "bumper" applies more to this kind of EC, and bumpers are usually done by the broadcaster, rather than as part of the show itself. In the days of syndication, some syndicated cartoons would come with their own eyecatches, but these were typically rather generic (a still from the theme sequence and a voice saying, "We'll be right back" was usually the extent of it).

Digimon:
Digimon Adventure: Cards of the seven (at the time) partner Digimon pile up before reforming into a picture of their evolved forms posing as a team.
Digimon Adventure 02: V-mon does incredibly silly things with chocolate eggs, spontaneously spawning the other partner Digimon to pose as a team.
Digimon Tamers: Vaguely LEGO-like renditions of Guilmon, Renamon and Terriermon pop around for a bit before evolving. Meanwhile, Impmon bonks Culumon on the head, making them evolve again.
Digimon Frontier: Pictures of the five heroes surrounded by hexagons flash around before focusing on one, turning into a picture of the hero and his Human-spirit form posing with the logo.
Digimon Fusion: Cards from the Super Digica Taisen game are demonstrated, with cartoony renditions of the heroes popping up. The first half had one of its two eyecatches feature ghostly images of Agumon, Garurumon, V-mon and Guilmon popping out of Taiki's X Loader and laughing at him.
Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time: Pictures of one of the six Heroes posing with their unevolved partner, then flicks around into a silhouetted image of them posing with their evolved partner, enclosed in a circle.

While Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Clash! Duel Carnival! loads, the game shows the monster Gagaga Girl rendered in the game's "pixelated chibi" style. Once in a while however, it may show the anime's female lead Kotori Mizuki cosplaying as her instead. This may be a nod to the 92nd and 93rd episodes of the anime, during which Kotori actually dressed up as her during the local (obviously Duel Monsters-themed) School Festival.

Zexal dropped this almost entirely. The only thing that marks the beginning and the ending of a break is the series' logo fading in or out in the screen's corner (often during dramatic close-ups). The following series, Arc-V, does exactly the same with its own logo.

Ranma ½ had two different eyecatches, one in the first season, one applied to all of the remaining six seasons, and the first one might not have been a proper eyecatch. The differences between the two could be chalked up to the fact that the series was produced by first one studio, then dropped and picked up by a second.
The first season had a single eyecatch that played in the middle of the episode, and a second one that played just before the end-credits. The former consisted of Genma, in panda form, juggling three pieces of fruit and eating them on the second rotation before washing them down with a cup of tea. The second consisted of Ranma, in girl form, nonchalantly juggling first P-chan (Ryoga's cursed form), then Shampoo's cursed form, then looking horrified and barely managing to catch Genma's panda form.
The latter seasons had a two-parter proper eyecatch, using Super-Deformed artstyle. When the episode ended for its commercial break, Ranma-boy would come running in from the right side of the screen as an angry Akane pursued with swings of a broom, flipping over her and, to the horror of both, unintentionally landing on P-chan, who had followed Akane. When the episode returned, Ranma-boy would back in from the right as Akane, with P-chan sitting on her head, tried to strike Ranma, who backflipped away and pulled a face — only to land in a tub of cold water as Genma-panda suddenly rushed onto the scene, emerging with a dumbstruck, exasperated expression in female form.

In the second set of Angelique OVAs. The artwork consists of fairly standard images of characters posing on Tarot cards. The background however contains some suspicious background text◊ which English-speaking fans figured out came from an article about Queer as Folk (UK). Remember now — this is supposed to be a very chaste series of Dating Sims for girls... but it does have a very large fanbase of Yaoi Fangirls due to the sheer amount of slash-worthy guys involved, making this a rather funny occurrence.

Better Off Ted has a fake ad for Veridian Dynamics (the show's fictional company) before the first commercial break. May be something of an inversion, as it looks so much like an authentic commercial for a generic faceless corporation that it's very easy to tune out (or skip over if you're watching via DVR.)

MythBusters shows their title as letters welded on a rusted steel plate (or sometimes cut out of one) with some action occurring either to or near it (like being shot with a BB gun or moved through their building, M5, on the front of a forklift), usually before and after each commercial break. They use one that reads "Warning: Science Content" sometimes, too. This all fits in with their theme, since they use similar plates reading "Busted," "Plausible," and "Confirmed" at the conclusion of each myth.

Every episode of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann has a different eyecatch, usually related to the plot of the episode (with the pre-break eyecatch displaying the episode's heroes, and the post-break eyecatch displays its villains), and always done in a heavily contrasted and exaggerated style with a giant lens flare. Fans took it upon themselves to make high-resolution vectorized images of them to use as wallpaper. After the timeskip, the hiphop-ish BGM of the eyecatches is accompanied by a memetic chant of "ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH!"

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood has this in the form of pictures of characters appearing in the episode as someone yells "Fullmetal Alchemist!", but the tone of voice often changes with each episode. During certain dramatic parts of the plot, such as character deaths, the speech would be omitted. Some eyecatches can be downright disturbing. It sounds like some of them are done by native English speakers, but others are done by people who know how to pronounce the title but not what tone of voice to use when doing so. And at least one that was the verbal equivalent of Camp Gay.

The "Who's That Pokémon" segment, in which viewers are asked to identify a Pokémon by its silhouette (and, in some episodes, some information about its behavior). The Japanese version dropped this in Advanced Generation, replacing it with normal eyecatches. The American 4Kids dub kept them for the first 40 episodes of Hoenn before replacing it with "Trainer's Choice", a quiz on Pokémon knowledge. That lasted until The Pokémon Company International took over the dub.

Kiddy Grade has a different pair of eyecatch images for each episode, often depicting the main characters Éclair and Lumière in similar situations in each image of the pair (e.g., Éclair sitting on a couch with a Lumière doll in one and Lumière sitting on a couch with an Éclair doll in its corresponding image). Each episode featured a different guest artist and some image pairs also sported...unusual art styles.

The original cartoon had eyecatches before and after each break, each one showing off a different character's transformation and accompanied by the distinctive voice of Victor Caroli intoning, "The Transformers will return, after these messages". The VHS release of some episodes kept these, and added sound effects for flying, transforming, etc. With each season having their own unique set*Season 1 and the first half of Season 2 having Optimus Prime, Starscream, Jazz and Laserbeak; Second half Season 2 with Shockwave, Grimlock, Hook, Astrotain, Cosmos, Thrust, Warpath, Devastator and Omega Supreme; Season 3 with Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Blurr, Trypticon and a random Sharkticon; and Season 4 with Scorponok and Highbrow

Dragon Ball:
The original Dragon Ball anime had two eyecatches, the first being Goku and Oolong juggling Dragon Balls on a Chinese umbrella (with Oolong failing miserably), and the second being Goku trying to take Master Roshi by surprise with a power pole attack.
Uniquely, the Harmony Gold dub of Dragon Ball included its own eyecatches, including two new sets for after the intro and before the end credits. They used a completely original logo and stills from the show, except for the middle break that used backgrounds from the second movie, which they never even dubbed!
Dragon Ball Z's eyecatches for most of its run show Goku playing with toddler Gohan, which quickly became outdated as Gohan grew up. During the Buu saga, the version before the commercial break shows Goten lifting the car that Gohan and Videl are driving in, and the one after the break shows King Kai's car crashing into Goku, who doesn't even budge but laughs apologetically. The Gohan/Videl eyecatch was included thanks to Gohan being a focus of the story again, until the story moves away from this angle yet again.
Dragon Ball Z Kai, a Recut of Z, replaces the original bumpers with a screen of Goku doing a Kamehameha, followed by drawings depicting the characters relevant that episode.

Penguindrum uses a map of Tokyo's Marunouchi subway line with each stop representing the current episode. This is a rare case where the eyecatch isn't just a reference to the plot but an important clue in itself since Marunouchi was targeted in two of Aum Shinrikyo's gas attacks.

Attack on Titan has Information Available For Public Disclosure, which are often diagrams and blurbs of information on the world.

Princess Tutu:
The first season has an eyecatch of the main character's mentor and the eventual villain, Drosselmeyer, spinning on a cog while the Nutcracker March (his leitmotif) plays in the background. The second season originally didn't have an eyecatch, since each episode was split up into two parts and joined with another show—but when they were put back together for the DVD, they added an eyecatch in which a clock spun around to the same tune, then opened to show Drosselmeyer drinking a cup of tea.
One of the episodes in the first season also replaced the normal eyecatch with a special one in one episode. The marriage-obsessed Mr. Cat believed the main character was going to meet him for a date at the pizza parlor, and the eyecatch shows him waiting patiently for her while humming the Nutcracker March.

In general, Excel♡Saga's eyecatches are nondescript — except that the characters often talk over them, sometimes about the fact that a break is happening.
During the bowling episode, the events happening over the eyecatch take longer than the catch did, so the catch was repeated several times. Naturally, the characters then wondered why the catch was being repeated so many times.
During the "survival" episode, Excel accidentally shoots Menchi, with a lot of drama in it. In the "be right back" eyecatch, she tosses Menchi's corpse into the Great Will of the Macrocosm, asking her to reset it. In the "back to the show" eyecatch, the Great Will tells her it's done, and Excel pulls a revitalized Menchi back out.

The eyecatch for Æon Flux is a Visual Pun: a fly crawls closer and closer to a human eye seemingly without iris or pupil. The eyelashes close like a Venus Flytrap, imprisoning the fly, as the pupil of the eye rolls around to examine its catch.

The Wild Wild West had a unique method of doing this. The last frame of the sequence before the commercial (usually a cliffhanger) was transformed into a comics-style illustration (in the pilot and from sometime during season two onwards) or alternatively a black and white (in season one)/tinted color (in the first several season two episodes) and placed into one of five panels that resembled a comic strip, with each sequence being placed in a different panel.

Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice has more stages per "episode" than its predecessors. In keeping with the spirit of the series, this was Lampshaded by running eyecatches about halfway through the plot of each episode, using the battle close-ups of the cast. Instead of running fake commercials, they led into a brief skit featuring "Today's 10 Gents", a.k.a. the Diez Gentlemen.

GaoGaiGar would show technical data on various robots and tools; two per episode. These could get pretty in depth sometimes. It goes to show you how many robots, mechs and machines showed up in GaoGaiGar, that despite the series running for 57 episodes (with two eyecatches per episode) it never used the same eyecatch twice. (That said, sometimes devices were introduced in the episode for the specific purpose of being an eyecatch.)

Strawberry Marshmallow's eyecatches always feature Nobue, rather than the younger girls — though they do sometimes appear in the form of key-chain/cell-phone fob type dolls. They are always against a white background, and usually, in the TV series, from odd angles, such as an extreme closeup of her bottom. The OVAs also have eyecatches in approximately the middle of the episode (ranging from 8 to 23 minutes into a 24-27 minute episode), despite, obviously, not having to break for commercials. The OVAs also change them from episode to episode, rather than reusing them as the TV series did.

Despite each episode of I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying being three minutes long, they normally have one or two eyecatches peppered through them, often accompanied by the sound of someone typing at a computer (most of them are Shout Outs). Instead of signaling a commercial break, they're used to go from one scene to the next and more emotional episodes, like Episode 11, don't have any.

Jem had thirteen bumpers over the course of three seasons. Netflix lacks them but television reruns and the DVD sets don't. The first few were still images but after a while they became animated.

The original Slayers series had no eyecatch. Next had a quick montage of the main characters ending with two of them in a couple pose (often wearing school uniforms); amusingly, when Gourry and Zelgadis (both men) ended together the screen would shatter. In Try the montage showed the main characters as children and ended again on a couple pose, but this one seemed to represent possible pairings as they would be at the end of the main story arc (and the series). Both series reused a set number of eyecatches but had unique ones for the last few episodes. For the first time in the series, Slayers Revolution has the post-break eyecatch showing events directly connected to the current episode. * Slayers Next has eyecatchers in the form of a Setting Update, with memorable cards such as Amelia as a waitress and Goury and Zelgadis as a gay couple, which breaks the screen.

After 5 seasons without eyecatches, the dub brought back Who's That Pokémon for Pokémon the Series: Black & White. Eventually, the Japanese version added it back as well after spending Hoenn and Sinnoh with generic eyecatches.

Fushigi Yuugi makes use of two, but switched rather early: The first is more light-hearted, showing Miaka against a backdrop of food and being pummelled by Tama (who wasn't yet known by non-readers of the manga), who then sits on her head as Yui looks on from behind. This is, of course, complete with bubbly music. After Yui's Face–Heel Turn, which takes place in Episode 11, it is changed into Miaka, Tamahome and Yui appearing sequentially against a starry backdrop. The music used for the new eyecatch is more dramatic.

Sky Girls has one halfway through the episode. It will feature closeup (often Fanservice) of one member of the Sky Girls and a picture of said member piloting their Sonic Diver.

Lucky Star has the round little cat (The Author Avatar) from the episode card to the left of the logo with two variations; the first commercial eyecatch is on a green background with the cat yawning; the eyecatch before the Lucky Channel segment is on a pink background with the cat sleeping and snoring. Both eyecatches conclude with the four main girls saying "Lucky Star!" or "Lucky Channel!" respectively.

Steven Universe does an eyecatch for its 100th episode 22-minute special; after each commercial break, a short animation of the Crystal Gems (including Bismuth) arriving onto a warp pad, with Steven running to them, then tripping and parlaying it into a pose. (It's repeated for both act breaks with a differently-colored background for each.)

Gundam SEED initially has eyecatches showing off the Gundam. Once Lacus is introduced the post-break eyecatch instead switches to a scene with Lacus and Athrun. Later in the series when Lacus becomes Kira's love interest, he replaces Athrun in that scene. The eyecatch in Gundam SEED Destiny is similar to that last scene.

The different Star Trek series will sometimes have the logo shown with a background of empty space (TNG), the station (Deep Space Nine), space with nebulas, solar flares, etc. (Voyager), or the Cool Ship (Enterprise) while a snatch of the theme music plays. The remastered Star Trek: The Original Series got ones with various scenes from the show.
In a similar vein, Babylon 5 would invariably show a shot of the eponymous station, or whatever planet or ship the action was taking place on at the moment, when returning from commercial. (Which incidentally makes it very obvious where the commercial went when watching on DVD.)

Showa era Kamen Rider shows have this. Shows from the Turn of the Millennium onward just directly cut to commercials with the unique exception of 2020-2021's Kamen Rider Saber, which employs them (along with an ending credits sequence, which was previously done a grand total of twice since 2000) to shorten the show's running time, facilitating filming around COVID-19 Pandemic restrictions.

KaBlam!. "Hey Ka-Blammoids, keep your hiner in the recliner! Still to come, [Insert short], [insert short], and more Action League NOW!! Right here on KaBlam!" After the commercials ended, the announcer would say "KaBlam!", while a picture of the logo would do something. Later seasons changed this to Henry trying to lift up the logo, it falls on him, and then June winks at the audience. Then the announcer would say "KaBlam!" again like previously, this was to start the next break.

The Australian series Spellbinder used the "Logo in the corner" version for both entering and exiting the break—quite unusual on Aussie TV of the time. Usually, kids' shows would simply go to commercial, sometimes with an eyecatch that may have simply been a freeze-frame of the title card, and then they came out, the network would superimpose a card across the bottom of the screen showing the network logo, the name of the show, and the rating.

Gundam:
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing has a pretty simple eyecatch involving a brief montage of all the characters.Victory Gundam has an evolving eyecatch that advances two frames per episode.
For those interested here is what you get when watching all of them in one go.
Mobile Fighter G Gundam shows the head of the Shining Gundam in side-view (later replaced by the God Gundam) on a background with circuitry. These represent the circuits of the Mobile Trace System.
Gundam SEED initially has eyecatches showing off the Gundam. Once Lacus is introduced the post-break eyecatch instead switches to a scene with Lacus and Athrun. Later in the series when Lacus becomes Kira's love interest, he replaces Athrun in that scene. The eyecatch in Gundam SEED Destiny is similar to that last scene.
After War Gundam X and Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury simply used the title card as eyecatch. Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans simply uses the episode's title as the eyecatch.
Since Destiny, recent Gundam series tend not to use eyecatches. However, Gundam: Reconguista in G re-introduced eyecatches, showing different main characters doing a short dance routine around the series' logo on a green background.

Starting around the 2nd season or so, NCIS lets its viewers know when a commercial break is starting or ending with a grayscaled half-second snippet overlaid with a soft thump. It can also serve as a sneak peek and even potential (yet minor) spoiler, as 99.9% of the time, the eyecatch from the start of a segment will be a quick view of the end of that same segment (which will also serve as an eyecatch). Partially subverted in that these also happen right before the end credits.

Pani Poni Dash! used them constantly, not just for commercial breaks. For some reason, the early ones were of local Magical Girl Behoimi. Negima!? was much the same, probably because it was by the same studio. The use could be excessive — the last episode of Pani Poni Dash! felt like it was half eyecatches.

The Real Ghostbusters has a variety of these, all featuring the ghost from the GB logo doing something funny and then saying "TRG will return after these messages. / And now back to the RGB.". These include:
Getting caught whistling outside the "No ghosts" symbol, then jumping back where he's supposed to be.
Looking left, then ducking down as a bunch of ghosts run by.
Finding himself upside down, then correcting his position.
Getting caught trying to saw his way out of the logo's diagonal bar, then hiding the saw while blushing.

Knight Rider episodes would shrink the picture to the corner of the screen, with the space being filled by a picture of KITT at night in the first season, and a clip of KITT racing through a desert for the other three seasons. Both versions would use a dramatic fanfare based on a segment of the theme music.
The second season opener instead uses a clip of KITT and Goliath charging at each other.

The eyecatch usually displays the show's trademark "spaghetti ball" spinning for a few seconds before commercials, with an instrumental snippet of the Theme Tune.
Seasons 2 through the Joel episodes of season 5 would also have eyecatches featuring close-up shots of Gizmonic Institute.
Starting with Mike episodes of 5 and running through the end of the show's Comedy Central run, some of the eyecatches would be shots of various experiments in Deep 13, alongside the name of the movie being shown.

Daria. The eyecatch is a slow-motion clip of something that happened earlier in the episode. A subversion occurred when Daria and Quinn pick up a hitchhiker. After they drop him off, Daria freaks out that he stole their money. Cue the eyecatch, only for it to cut halfway through and go back to the show, as Quinn explains that she gave him the money.

The eyecatch of Bokurano has one that, like many other things about the series, gets more and more meaningful and poignant as time goes on. The pilots' chairs spin, then stop with the currently selected pilot's chair in front of the camera, and a spotlight shines on it. All the pilots who haven't died yet whisper "bokurano" together, making for a rather eerie reminder of the Dwindling Party later in the series.

The One Piece anime uses these, and they're downright charming. Each one features a different character.
Originally they simply involved a "Wanted!" Poster of the character blowing by while a snippet of that character's theme music played (although early episodes would mix the posters with different theme music, so one episode might have Zoro's poster with Nami's theme, etc). Heck even Vivi got one during her tenure with the Straw Hats.
When the anime had reached the Foxy arc, they were changed to viewing one of the Straw Hats through a telescope, them reacting to it and then panning down to objects related to them (Luffy's Straw Hat and Vest, Zoro Swords, Ussop's Goggles and a Dartboard, etc). The music stayed the same save for the new themes for Franky and Brook.
After the Time Skip, two new eyecatches were developed. The one before the commercial break features an object related to one of the crew on a table in the foreground as shadows of Straw Hats run by in the background. The Straw Hat related to that object would pass by and pick up the object before it cuts to a picture of the crew walking toward the Sunny with the title imprinted in the middle. When it came back from break, we see an red silhouetted image of Luffy trying to catch his hat and goes off screen as the title forms. He jumps down and forms the "i" of the title.
After the Dressrosa arc, the eyecatch changed back to the wanted posters, but this time, the background showed a scene unique to the featured character.
Episode 336 had a unique eyecatch featuring Chopperman in a brawl with several other characters from the episode.
The crossover special with Toriko also had a unique one. It was just a still image of Luffy and Toriko.
Yet another unique one was during the crossover special with Toriko and Dragon Ball Z. It showed Luffy, Goku, and Toriko laughing together.
Wano arc came with a change of art style and new eyecatches to boot. Only Luffy and Zoro got their own for now but they're splendid, showing the character preparing for an attack accompanied by a japanified version of their theme.

The Pokémon remakes FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, and SoulSilver featured eyecatches that would be displayed when the player entered certain locations, usually caves, forests, and special buildings. HeartGold and SoulSilver actually featured four different eyecatches for each area, which were displayed depending on the time of day.

Hetalia: Axis Powers is an interesting case. It's not aired on television and is instead aired through cellphones and the internet, and the episodes are only about 5 minutes long, so the eyecatches are used to switch scenes instead. The eyecatches themselves have the logo with a chibi nation-tan popping out from behind the logo and saying the title in a slightly more high-pitched voice.

I'm Gonna Be an Angel! is an interesting case in that throughout the whole series its eyecatch featured always Noelle and Yuusuke - the main couple, but in the last episode, it was switched to one with Mikael and Raphael, implying that THEY were the main couple, because Mikael was the real main character.

Yu-Gi-Oh!:
The Japanese dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! has a spinning Millenium Puzzle and the word "Yu-Gi-Oh!" appear on the screen. There's also the 'Fair play fair duel' with Yami Yugi's silhouette.
The Season 0 anime also had one that was more Egyptian themed, usually with Yami Yugi's silhouette.
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX has a different one every episode, generally of a character and monster relevant to the plot for that episode.
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds has Yusei summoning Junk Warrior or Stardust Dragon. Near the end of the series, they did away with this entirely.
Zexal dropped this almost entirely. The only thing that marks the beginning and the ending of a break is the series' logo fading in or out in the screen's corner (often during dramatic close-ups). The following series, Arc-V, does exactly the same with its own logo.

Instead of full-screen eyecatches, some shows just display the logo in the corner before going to commercial. My-HiME and Monster do this. Alternatively, the "logo in the corner" version may appear after the commercial break, as done, for example, in Harukanaru Toki no Naka de - Hachiyou Shou; in this particular case the logo is also accompanied by falling sakura petals (just like it does in the opening).

The first Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch eyecatch was composed of pictures of Lucia and Hanon in glowing stars (apparently ignoring Rina, even though the show is focused on the three as a trio). Once the OP changed for the first time, Lucia would draw a card from a deck of playing cards, with Hanon and Rina around her. She smiled if the card bore a hero and gasped at a villain; the character on the card was usually a character that had a big role in the episode, and if not, it was Lucia. The second season's eyecatch was one of the mermaids (or Hippo◊) surrounded by a bubble border; again, if no specific character held the spotlight, Lucia or Seira appeared. Caren, Noel and Coco each appeared in this eyecatch a total of one time.

In Sonic X, a card would appear with data about one of the characters — usually one relevant to the plot. That is how the name of Cream the Rabbit's mom Vanilla was revealed. Sometimes they double as Trailers Always Spoil, especially in the case of the weekly robot that hasn't shown up yet. This, however, is averted in Episode 26, where the featured robot, E-99, was shown in silhouette. For that extra-special effect, it took up both of the usual spots of the eyecatch (still in silhouette), and Dr. Eggman even popped up in front of the second occurrence.

A very interesting example on Person of Interest. The show's premise involves a Machine that spies on everyone. When the show comes back from commercials, the Machine's point of view of many of the security cameras around New York (and often audio feeds, articles and other means of surveillance) are seen moving across the screen, the Machine then focuses on one of them, taking us into the scene.
When the first scene after commercials is a flashback, a similar screen is shown, with a timeline overlay of years (and sometimes months, days and hours) which then scroll back to the year the flashback takes place in. Sometimes, the Machine recaps data straight from the commercial too, in which case, this is an Subverted Trope.
The only exceptions to this as of Season 3 are in the Season 3 finale "Deus Ex Machina" and its precursor "A House Divided" where we are shown the Start of Darkness of Peter Collier often straight from the commercial. We just enter the scene as with any other TV show, except "2010" is featured prominently on the screen. It's pretty jarring, considering viewers are accustomed to hearing the incoherent slur of thousands of voices straight from the commercial.

The original Dragon Ball anime had two eyecatches, the first being Goku and Oolong juggling Dragon Balls on a Chinese umbrella (with Oolong failing miserably), and the second being Goku trying to take Master Roshi by surprise with a power pole attack.

The first season of Ikki Tousen featured Hakafu kicking the camera for the "going to commercial" eyecatch, followed by her skirt lifting, giving us a panty shot for the "back to show" eyecatch. 2nd-4th seasons feature still images of suggestive poses and revealing attire on the female characters while rock music plays.

Uniquely, the Harmony Gold dub of Dragon Ball included its own eyecatches, including two new sets for after the intro and before the end credits. They used a completely original logo and stills from the show, except for the middle break that used backgrounds from the second movie, which they never even dubbed!

Pokémon: The Series:
The "Who's That Pokémon" segment, in which viewers are asked to identify a Pokémon by its silhouette (and, in some episodes, some information about its behavior). The Japanese version dropped this in Advanced Generation, replacing it with normal eyecatches. The American 4Kids dub kept them for the first 40 episodes of Hoenn before replacing it with "Trainer's Choice", a quiz on Pokémon knowledge. That lasted until The Pokémon Company International took over the dub.
After 5 seasons without eyecatches, the dub brought back Who's That Pokémon for Pokémon the Series: Black & White. Eventually, the Japanese version added it back as well after spending Hoenn and Sinnoh with generic eyecatches.
Interestingly, while the Japanese eyecatches almost always tied-in with the episode's plot (one even featured the infamous "Jigglypuff viewed from above"), 4Kids would often swap them out for completely unrelated 'mon, possibly to give The Merch a better cross-section of spotlight or just to make the answers less obvious.

Sailor Moon had new catches for each season, usually involving the team jumping around inspirationally. A few of the eyecatches were also recreated for the video games. Noteably the first part of R's eyecatch is recreated in one of the first games, unless Chibi-usa mode is selected, wherein she drops into the eyecatch on top of the Sailor Senshi. The Continuity Reboot Sailor Moon Crystal uses elaborate artwork for its eyecatches.
The pre-break eyecatch has the series logo against a baby blue starry sky, with the earth below it. At right, in pastels, a reverse painted silhouette of Sailor Moon is tangled in draped ribbons, along with the moon and inner planets.
The post-break eyecatch has silhouettes of Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon beneath a large roman column, accented by red rose petals, as the Earth hangs in a white sky with the series logo at right.

Most British broadcasters use a static caption with the show's title and sometimes a superimposed channel logo, sometimes accompanied by a snatch of the theme tune, at the start and end of each break. In the past there were a few shows that used animated bumpers, notably The Prisoner (1967) with an animated pennyfarthing bike disassembling before the break and reassembling afterward. (These are not included in the main body of the remastered DVD episodes, but appear as extras.)As The BBC doesn't carry any adverts, this can cause issues when BBC programmes are repeated on commercial channels such as UK Gold, which do. Early on it was common to have eyecatches specific to the programme (usually a screencap with the programme title and channel logo) but more recently they tend to use generic eyecatches which just have the channel logo.

Pretty Cure:
Futari wa Pretty Cure eyecatches usually involved Nagisa and/or Honoka messing around with the Card Commune, showing what abilities they had. MaX Heart included one where the three Cures are tiny, and being played with by a giant Pollun.
Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash★Star's first eyecatch had Flappy and Choppy open a present to reveal a tiny Saki and Mai inside.
Yes! Pretty Cure 5 has an eyecatch with a four-way split-screen of the Cures doing their signature activity, ending with a "YEAH!" Shot of Nozomi and Coco.
Fresh Pretty Cure! has model shots of the three Cures making heart shapes with their hands. This was updated halfway through when Cure Passion came along. The returning eyecatch has chibi versions of the Cures flying around the screen, dressing up Chiffon.
HeartCatch Pretty Cure! has spinning slides of Tsubomi and Erika playing dress-up.
Suite Pretty Cure ♪ has a chibi Hummy and Hibiki sneaking some cupcakes, which makes chibi Kanade fly into a rage and chase them.
Smile PreCure!'s eyecatch has a hand placing a Cure Decor in the shape of the Smile emblem, or the same decor into the Royal Clock into the Smile Pact. It causes it to show a random character, usually a Cure for the first eyecatch and Candy in a different outfit or in the sky with Pop for the second one. Four times, the second was an Akanbe.
Doki Doki! PreCure has Mana give Ai-chan a bottle, with the other Cures inching over to see.

Urusei Yatsura: Changed several times during the TV anime series' run.
The first generation eyecatches played up the Ataru-Lum-Shinobu Love Triangle by having Ataru pursue either Shinobu (in the commercial intro) or a topless Lum (in the commercial outro) lustfully, only to face-fault when the girl he is pursuing changes into her "rival." The music is a piano riff of part of the chorus from "Lum no Love Song."
In the second generation eyecatches, Ataru is hit on the head (complete with a bump on the head) and hammered down by the series logo. The animation is the same for the intro and outro but the sound effects are different.
The third generation eyecatches feature a chibi Lum as a magician pulling Ataru out of a hat (commercial intro) or simply extending a hand in greeting to the viewer (commercial outro) over an excerpt of "Yume wa Love Me More" (with vocals in the intro, instrumental in the outro).
The animation remained the same for the fourth and fifth generation eyecatches (with a chibi Lum and a scrambled series logo) but the music and sound effects changed.

Stellvia of the Universe has a unique pair for each episode, too. The pre-commercial eyecatch is also often (but not always, especially when it doesn't fit) accompanied by light-hearted jingle (which is identified in the soundtrack).

Dragon Ball Z's eyecatches for most of its run show Goku playing with toddler Gohan, which quickly became outdated as Gohan grew up. During the Buu saga, the version before the commercial break shows Goten lifting the car that Gohan and Videl are driving in, and the one after the break shows King Kai's car crashing into Goku, who doesn't even budge but laughs apologetically. The Gohan/Videl eyecatch was included thanks to Gohan being a focus of the story again, until the story moves away from this angle yet again.

Each Durarara!! episode has its unique eyecatch. The pattern is simply a silent black screen with the characters from the title ("デュラララ!!", but with a random and often huge number of ラ) arranged into some sort of shape or formation, like a spiral or a heart. This pattern is kept in the second series, but it adds "×2" and the kanji representing the "cour" the episode is part of.

Code Lyoko has five eyecatches in each episode, one for each member of the Five-Man Band, in variable order, with an animation of the Lyoko avatar, name and face of the character in the XANA logo. Interestingly three of these eyecatches (Jeremie's, Aelita's and Odd's) use their signature colors (light blue, pink and purple respectively) as a background while the remaining 2 (Ulrich and Yumi) use red and green respectively. While Yumi's signature color of black not being used makes sense as it would make the eyecatch unpleasant to look at and the use of green could count as subtle Ship Tease (since green is Ulrich's signature color), Ulrich having a red background is a bit confusing since red is the signature color of William Dunbar, Ulrich's rival for Yumi's affection.

Transformers
The original cartoon had eyecatches before and after each break, each one showing off a different character's transformation and accompanied by the distinctive voice of Victor Caroli intoning, "The Transformers will return, after these messages". The VHS release of some episodes kept these, and added sound effects for flying, transforming, etc. With each season having their own unique set*Season 1 and the first half of Season 2 having Optimus Prime, Starscream, Jazz and Laserbeak; Second half Season 2 with Shockwave, Grimlock, Hook, Astrotain, Cosmos, Thrust, Warpath, Devastator and Omega Supreme; Season 3 with Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus, Blurr, Trypticon and a random Sharkticon; and Season 4 with Scorponok and Highbrow
Transformers: Armada would have a scene of Optimus posing dramatically for going to commercial, and Megatron for coming back.
In fact, there's a whole list at the TF Wiki, covering both US and Japan.
