* ''[[Akuma-kun]]'' had an absolutely kickass opening sequence featuring all the monsters our hero can summon displaying their powers or schticks, bad guy monsters attacking, the city going dark, and a blood-pumping musical theme by the Koorogi '73—and then the show itself was creakily slow, with just a little bit of action at the end of episodes in most cases.
* ''[[BakuretsuBurst TenshiAngel]]''.
* Several openings from ''[[Inuyasha|Inu Yasha]]''.
* ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex|Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex]]'' especially the second season. The openings mostly focus on Kusanagi and the Tachikomas going into heated battle, while the show itself is much more cerebral and talky, and action sequences tend to be quick and decisive. A couple of episodes have no action sequences at all.
* ''[[Lupin III]]'' has an intro showing Lupin and friends being chased all over the world by Zenigata. In the actual show, the crew's conflicts with Zenigata tend to feature fewer chase sequences and more clever trickery and disguises.
* ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam|G Gundam]]'' has a first-season intro which shows a chaotic battle royale involving at least a half-dozen Gundams fighting it out in outer space. Except that no one goes to outer space until the end of season two, and nearly every fight in the first season is one-on-one. Season two's opening, oddly enough, has barely any fighting at all, despite coming right at the point where the show's action kicks into high gear.
