Line 37:
* The first episode of the ''[[Berserk]]'' anime is chronologically set ''after'' the events of the rest of the series, in which Guts has already become the one-eyed/one-armed wandering mercenary he is known to be. The rest of the series covers how he got to be that way.
* The DVD box art combined with the first episode of the anime ''[[Gungrave]]'' makes you think this will be a [[Grimdark]] show about an old lone gunman fighting evil, right? Guess what, the majority of the series from that point on is a giant flashback that shows how two small-time thieves rise up through a mafia-like organization to the point where it reaches the time of the first episode.
* The first few pages of ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20190717190935/http://www.tnemrot.com/ Tnemrot]'' make it look like it's about the main character surviving in an apocalyptic wasteland [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]. Then he's captured and we see it's Pokemon with real people.
* The first two-and-a-half episodes of ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' make the series look like a [[Magical Girl]] series with [[Slice of Life]]. That's [[Genre Deconstruction|half-correct]]. Though to be fair, the scene with the [[Eldritch Location|witch's barrier]] right at the end of episode 1 makes it clear this is not your usual happy fun time show...
* ''[[Rumbling Hearts]]'' begins as a sweet, almost saccharine story of young lovers coming together despite awkwardness and misgivings, promising to overcome their initial mistakes. And then in the last five minutes of episode two, [[It Got Worse|it gets worse]].
