Line 37:
=== Anime and Manga ===
* The far-out extreme would be the cover of ''Warriors of the Wind'', the original dub of the classic [[Anime]] film ''[[Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind]]'' done in the mid-'80s. The artist just [[wikipedia:Image:Wotwuscover.jpg|made things up and added characters and elements]] that weren't in the movie at all.<ref>There were no flying horses, guns, robots, swords made of light, or shadow-men, the monsters in the movie the one on the cover vaguely resembled were not ever ridden, and of those five characters only the one on the right looks anything like a character in the actual movie (Nausicaa, who even then wasn't blonde).</ref> The dub itself [[Cut and Paste Translation|wasn't an accurate representation]] of [[Hayao Miyazaki]]'s work either, but it wasn't ''that'' different.
* On the very last English dub DVD of ''[[Sailor Moon]] R'', "Love Conquers All", Sailor Chibi Moon is pictured alongside Neo-Queen Serenity. However, Chibiusa doesn't actually show up as a Sailor Senshi until halfway through the next season. Apart from being spoilerific, entirely different companies did those seasons.
* ''[[Delinquent in Drag]]'', anyone? The ADV Films release's VHS cover made [[Go Nagai]]'s high school comedy look like an action film.
* The cover of one of the ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' DVDs depicts [[Creepy Twins|Hansel and Gretel]] as a pair of cheerful smiling gothic lolis. Anyone who's actually ''seen'' the episodes concerning them will know they are probably the most horrific examples of fearsomeness that exist in any anime that doesn't involve the supernatural. And probably some that ''do''.
Line 89:
* The cover art of one American [[Haruhi Suzumiya]] DVD release shows Haruhi standing alone with her shadow being that of her [[Bunny Girl]] outfit, implying that a bunny girl plays a much larger role in the plot than it actually does.
* One of two different DVD covers used by [[Central Park Media]] for the OVA ''[[Hen|Strange Love]]'' depicted two characters kissing, in front of an abstract red/pink background. One of them is the main character (Chizuru), but the black-haired girl is a very minor character with little screentime and is not Chizuru's love interest—the picture was taken from an [[Imagine Spot]] scene that explains that Chizuru isn't attracted to her or any other women, [[If It's You It's Okay|with one exception]].
* ''[[Slayers|Slayers TRY]]'' actually lampshades it by having a flashing sign which reads "sorry, opening only" pointing at a dragon-riding character (Lina's sister) in the title animation.
