Covers Always Lie: Difference between revisions

** This is lampshaded in several cases, when filler pictures of the characters complain about how little they are in the story.

* [http://ancientearthentertainment.com/store/images/dvd/Simoun-Box.jpg The front cover] of the North American DVD release for ''[[Simoun]]'' featured Neveril and Aeru sort of...hugging? Dancing? Playing patty-cake? Whatever they are doing they are close together and naked, but somehow their embrace has no sexual overtones at all, so the whole thing just looks weird. Also, there is not a single Simoun visible on the front cover, back cover, or spine. The series is '''named''' ''Simoun'' and the machines are nowhere to be found. Without already knowing the background to the series there is no way to determine even what genre the show is, first guess would probably go to [[Magical Girl]] or an [[Ecchi]] series.

* This trope could be applied to the ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'' season sets. The first set, containing the first '''34''' episodes, features Super Saiyan 4 Goku on the cover, Super Saiyan 4 being a form Goku first achieves in '''episode 35'''. And the second set features Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, a '''''[[One-Scene Wonder|One Episode Wonder]]''''' from late in the series.

** When the Saban-dubbed episodes of [[Dragonball Z]] were released on DVD by Pioneer, there were three covers for the Namek arc that shown concept art of the characters ''past'' the Saban run. The concept art in question? Vegeta in the outfit he wore during the Freeza fight, Goku preparing the Spirit Bomb to use against Freeza and Goku as a Super Saiyan with the last one being on two of the three covers. Kid Goku is on the last cover, but he's not shown in any flashbacks in the episodes on that set.
