** An issue of ''[[Game Players Magazine]]'' did something similar when previewing the Ranma SNES game. They said the series was about "a family of fighters where the kids are trained by their parents. The kids become masters and beat up would-be bullies."

* During a ''Trainer's Choice'' quiz during the Hoenn season of the Pokemon anime, they asked which Pokémon evolved into Seviper. The answer was Arbok. Arbok doesn't evolve at all, and Seviper doesn't evolve from anything, so breeding Seviper doesn't get an Ekans (which evolves into Arbok). While this was quickly picked up as ammo against [[Four Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] (who, as in the movie example above, either didn't notice or didn't change the mistake) it later turned out that they got quiz questions and answers from Pokémon USA -- ''the company in charge of the franchise in the United States''. Apparently, the employee they stuck with that role hadn't paid enough attention to the episodes in early Hoenn where Jessie releases her Arbok and then catches a Seviper.

* The anime's dubbers themselves totally misnamed the Pokémon that appear in the 'Who's that Pokémon?' section of the first movie. Granted, it was the Team Rocket trio naming the Pokémon, but those mistakes weren't present in the original Japanese version and the dubbers just made the Rockets look like idiots as an excuse to leave the errors in. Doesn't excuse the "Sandshrew" and "Pidgeotto" bits elsewhere, either.

* An in-media example for ''[[Gundam Sousei]]'': a newspaper announcing the release of the Gundam movie features a picture of [[Action Girl|Sayla]], while captioning it as "the hero, Amuron".

* The American Family Association wrote an article on the dangers of video games and this somehow segued into [[Hentai|h-games]]. This would've been fine and all....except the article misspelled it as 'hentia'. Again, wouldn't have been a problem except the article KEPT ON spelling it in that manner. [[Did Not Do the Research|Did not do the research]], indeed.

* ''Bleeding Cool'', a comic book news website, has an article called "Swap File", where they show different background items being used in two separate comics. A [http://www.bleedingcool.com/2011/06/30/swipe-file-clamp-and-brightest-day/ recent one] showed that a [[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Clow Reed circle]] was used in one of the ''[[Brightest Day]]'' spin-off covers. Not so bad. The bad part is when they show clips and pictures from Cardcaptor Sakura and kept saying it was from ''[[Tsubasa]]''. Readers were quick to correct them on their mistake.

* There have been some articles on anime sites that refer to Chiba from ''[[Wandering Son]]'' as "Saorin Chiba". "Saorin" is a nickname, as putting -rin to the back of a name is common for girls in Japan; her name's just "Saori".
