Rebuild of Evangelion: Unit 01 fires an Eva-sized Gatling gun at Shamshel, raining spent cartridges on the street below, one of which flattens a car.Mariya Renevskaya of Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force has the ability to fire live bullets without the use of a gun, so this was inevitable when she started wrapping her arms with thick ammo belts and started firing them like a machine gun.In the first episode of Gunslinger Girl, the audience is treated / subjected to a small shower of golden 5.7x28mm shells seemingly originating from the female protagonist's groin.The intro to Gungrave features this in a couple of places.And again in the partisan mop-up operation scene in the sixth Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin movie.Also happens in Mobile Suit Gundam F91 movie during the colony takeover part when a woman is also struck in the head by such a shell from one of the colony defense force units while trying to evacuate with her child.

In Mobile Suit Victory Gundam, there's a scene in which a civilian, caught in a battle between two mechs, is killed when a mecha-sized empty casing (coming with several others from a mecha-sized machine gun) falls on her head.In the very first episode of the original Mobile Suit Gundam Amuro is nearly killed by spent casings from a Zaku's pan-fed machine gun after running out of an emergency shelter.Happens repeatedly in various Gundam anime, which is bad news for any innocent bystanders, considering the shells are typically a) the size of two-liter soda bottles and b) falling from several stories up.Shows up in the first episode of Elfen Lied.When the Gatling guns come out, except them to basically vomit spent shells in every direction, leaving huge piles littered around the ground that are often bigger than the combatants and their firearms combined.

The Black★Rock Shooter TV anime absolutely relishes in this.

The Area 88 OVA opens with a shot of 20mm shells falling from Shin's F-8E Crusader as he tears up a column of enemy tanks.

Shiro's notes indicate that he thought it would look cool if the E-SWAT members weapons sent spent casings flying everywhere, but he felt that would conflict with the professional nature of their missions, and thus their weapons would have attached pouches to catch spent casings and keep their operation neat.

Deliberately averted in the original Appleseed manga.
