* The trailer for the English release of ''[[SHUFFLE!]]!'' does a good job of keeping the secret of who the [[Unlucky Everydude]] ends up with, until you realize that {{spoiler|it's playing Asa's [[Leitmotif|theme music]].}} This is a bigger hint than it would usually be, since {{spoiler|Asa is usually pushed aside until the viewer is hit in the head with her surprise victory, even left out of most plot summaries!}} Someone is going to put two and two together. |

* Like the ''Phantom Menace'' example below, ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' spoiled the death of a certain character by having one of the tracks on the official soundtrack being titled "(Character)'s Death". |

* The tendency for trailers to spoil is parodied in ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei|Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei]]''. The plot summary on the back of the first volume of the manga appears to be spoiler laden, until you learn it has nothing to do with ''Zetsubou's'' actual plot. Likewise, the end of the [[Magical Girl]] parody features a "spoiler" filled "Coming Next Episode" sequence, revealing (among other things) that Nozomu's mask was made of cardboard, and that he hasn't actually been defeated. Naturally, the real next episode is a return to the show's usual format. |

** Before the end of the series, plenty of previews of ''[[Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Leaping Through Time]]'' were released, confirming that {{spoiler|Damemon will be revived and become Yuu's partner for good (hasn't happened yet), that Shoutmon being killed off in episode 53 wasn't going to be permanent, and that in ''Young Hunters'' all characters were [[Put on a Bus|take the bus]] except for Taiki and Yuu}}. |

** The next episode previews at the end of each episode of ''[[Digimon Frontier]]'' usually spoiled the most important plot points of each episode. And if one simply chooses not to watch those, the ''episode titles themselves'' would be more than happy to do the spoiling in their stead. |
