Line 13:

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* The beginning of episode 1 of ''[[Genshiken]]'' is the beginning of ''[[Kujibiki Unbalance]]'' including the [[Cold Open]] and the opening titles (complete with fake credits that are parodies of the people who really worked on the show), until the scene shifts to a character watching that show on TV. One fansub of the show took this further, and actually used parodies of the fansub-makers' screen names during this opening (listing the real ones during the end credits). Which is odd because it implies that the main character is ''watching an English fansub on TV.'' In ''Japan''.
Line 97 ⟶ 96:
* ''Cat-A-Lyst'' by [[Alan Dean Foster]] opens with two soldiers on a battlefield in the American Civil War. It turns out to be a scene from a movie, starring the main character.
* ''If On A Winter's Night A Traveller,'' by [[Italo Calvino]]. The whole book is a sequence of these, held together by a reader trying to continue the story he had begun but getting continually drawn off into new stories.
* ''[[Bored of the Rings]]'' starts with an almost-sex scene that has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the plot, and shocks people who are expecting a parody of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''.
* The first ''[[Harry Potter]]'' book opens with a description of the Dursleys and their banal existence. The fourth book opens by describing events which occurred fifty years ago in a town that had never been previously mentioned in the series. The sixth book opens with the unnamed Muggle Prime Minister of all people.
