Guillotine Gorilla
The anime definition of Jumping the shark
The phrase comes from the Anime Samurai Flamenco . During episode 7 when after the previous 6 episodes establish that series was about a normal guy trying to become a Super hero in a realistic world. Midway through the episode during a drug bust, a random criminal suddenly transforms into a Guillotine Gorilla and kills a few officers. Since that point the show continued to escalate and completely changed the tone of the series.

I stopped watching this show after they pulled a Guillotine Gorilla. It was never the same again.
