* [[https://www.justcolor.net/diy/manga-anime-tutorials/proportions/ a tutorial on manga and anime proportions]] falsely states that pre-teens are from 12-16, pre-teens are from 10-12 years old, not 12-16 years old and claim that the characters from the manga and anime series '''Manga/K-ON''' use the 1:5 head to body ratio when the characters from K-ON are 6 heads tall, teenage characters in manga and anime are from 6-8 heads tall depending on the art style and they mention two Ken Akamatsu manga and anime series ''Manga/LoveHina'' and '''Manga/Negima''' instead of mentioning other manga series, however the characters in the aforementioned manga are 7 heads tall.

* [[https://www.kidzsearch.com/questions/49555/ghs-art-lesson-proportions a Q&A about proportions of anime characters]] The writer claims that the average person is from 5 to 6 heads tall, actually, an average person is from 7 to 8 heads tall. she then claims that anime characters in children are 3-4 heads tall, teenagers are 4.5 heads tall and adults are 5 heads tall, teenage and adult anime characters are from 6-8 heads tall depending on the art style and age and children in anime are 6 heads tall depending on the art style and age, whereas anime with a simplistic art style have the children, teenagers and adults with shorter proportions, it's possible the writer was confusing proportions on simplistic western cartoon characters, although western cartoon characters have different proportions depending on the art style and age.

* A lot of the time, [[BaraGenre Bara]] gets miscategorized as BoysLove just because they both feature homosexuality as a main theme. However, they both have completely different demographics, themes, and aesthetics. The same happens with the OtokonokoGenre. It doesn't help that there are actually boys love series that do feature {{hunk}}-y men or effeminate crossdressers in them, and some bara artists also make works for the BL market.

* One of the clues on an episode of Jeopardy was "This classic 5-letter anime isn't named for [[Creator/AkiraKurosawa director Kurosawa]] but for a boy that destroys Tokyo", with the correct answer being "What is ''Manga/{{Akira}}''?". [[spoiler:Akira is already dead when the movie takes place.]] The boy that ''actually'' destroyed Tokyo is Tetsuo (at least they didn't [[IAmNotShazam refer to Kaneda as Akira]]).

** [[TomboyishName Ed]] is [[ViewerGenderConfusion a girl]].[[labelnote:*]] Shinichiro Watanabe has however stated that Ed's gender is "meaningless"[[/labelnote]]

** Rei Ayanami isn't robotic at all, and has never been officially depicted with a "catlike tail" unless you count [[https://otakumode.com/shop/55d2b8c3d59f24081fabf2f2/Neon-Genesis-Evangelion-Rei-Ayanami-Asuka-Langley-Soryu-Grimrock!-Mix-Edition this Grimrock! figure.]] The Rei plaque was later [[https://consui.tumblr.com/post/22879182428/thenewtypetheory-enigmatic-cat-spirit-in updated]] to fix some of the worst inaccuracies... but it still misspells the series' title.

* The TropeNamer is from ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' and a rather incorrect newspaper picture caption (see the page pic). In a similar manner to Harvard University's Statue of Three Lies, every single word except "at", "computer", and the photo credit "Creator/{{Bandai|Entertainment}}" is specifically, individually wrong:

* [[https://gizmodo.com/trigun-maximum-manga-dark-horse-bigolas-dickolas-wolfwo-1850441308 This article]] about the announcement of a deluxe edition of the ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' manga got every detail about the characters completely wrong. They claim that Vash is a former mercenary turned pacifist when he was never a mercenery and always a pacifist, and that Milly and Meryl are journalists when they're insurance agents ([[spoiler:though they do become reporters are the end of the series]]). They also describe Wolfwood as adopting the tenet "Thou Shalt not Kill", when Wolfwood's ''willingness'' to kill is the main source of conflict with Vash. The article also states that "he and Vash kill a ton of people", when Vash [[spoiler: Only directly, voluntarily kills one person in the entire series, not counting the destruction of July]].

* Sentai Filmworks, for its press release about ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'', said that it had a "if you die in the game, you die for real" premise in much the same way as ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline''. Well, if the "adventurers" die, they just get respawned in the nearest Cathedral. The series does have {{Permadeath}}, however, but it's only for the NPC characters (called "People of the Land").

* ''Anime Insider'''s sister magazine ''Wizard'' once ran a review of ''LightNovel/{{Slayers}}'' saying Lina Inverse traveled with the sorceress Naga and "a girl named Gourry".

* Malaysian provider Astro once [[http://i.imgur.com/o02qTqA.png had a description]] of ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' stating that Kirito is a villain the main characters must defeat to get out of the game. He's actually the show's ''main protagonist''.

* This [[http://www.sacurrent.com/Blogs/archives/2015/08/03/i-popped-my-san-japan-cherry-with-hentai-anime-porn first-hand account]] from the ''San Antonio Current'' of someone who's never seen anime before going to a Creator/FUNimation panel refers to every single title listed as "hentai" - ecchi titles like ''Manga/HeavensLostProperty'', ''LightNovel/CatPlanetCuties'' and the ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'' anime are excusable for the mistake due to their adult age ratings and the amount of blatant {{Fanservice}}, but ''Anime/{{Free}}'' has a clear PG label, as well as a fairly mild trailer that showcases no more than shirtless boys (which, considering its about a swim team, makes sense) - how on earth can that be mistaken for hentai?

* The Crunchyroll description of ''Manga/ShirokumaCafe'' read "Polar Bear’s café revolves around a Canadian white bear that quits his boring job and starts a cafeteria near a zoo." Polar Bear does not quit anything, a cafe is not the same thing as a cafeteria, and it takes a train to get to the zoo. And while it's not impossible that Polar Bear is from Canada, the story where he talked about Canada turned out to be a lie he made up, so there's no real basis to say he's actually Canadian. Of all his stories the one most likely to be true is the one showing he's actually from Alaska, not Canada. The only accurate part is "white bear."

* For some reason, Website/TheOtherWiki thinks thinks that the voice actors in ''Anime/BabyFelixAndFriends'' were Creator/GreyDeLisle, Creator/BillyWest, Creator/TaraStrong, Creator/CandiMilo, Creator/CreeSummer, Creator/KathSoucie, Creator/CoreyBurton, Creator/JeffBennett, Creator/MauriceLaMarche, Creator/RobPaulsen, Vince Corazza and Alicia Silverstone. Neither people was involved with the show at all. These errors also show up in [[http://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/tv-shows/Baby-Felix-and-Friends/ Behind The Voice Actors]] just like ''WesternAnimation/TheBrothersFlub''.

** [[TomboyishName Ed]] is [[ViewerGenderConfusion a girl]].

* An Anime News Network writer commented in a [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/magical-girl-lyrical-nanoha-a/dvd-box-set review]] for ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'' that the songs were a good indication of why Creator/YukariTamura and Creator/NanaMizuki hadn't hit the big time as singers. One little problem: Mizuki Nana at the time of the review had already achieved mainstream success in Japan as a musician, with all of her music singles and albums appearing in the Top 10 of the Weekly Oricon charts (Japan's equivalent of the Billboard Charts) for nearly half a decade since 2005. And what's more, guess which song started this long string of hits by making her the first Seiyuu to debut a music single at no. 2 of the weekly charts? Can you say "Eternal Blaze", the opening song of ''A's''?

** Some websites (most notably Anime News Network) list Tetsuya Kakihara's role as Brian Taylor from ''Smile! Pretty Cure'' as being that of a character from ''Anime/GlitterForce'', the English dub of the show. While he does appear in the original Japanese version, his episode was one of eight that was omitted in the ''Glitter Force'' dub released in most countries outside of Asia, though he did get mentioned in a later episode, where Kelsey reads a letter he sent to her.
*** The same thing happened with the ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'' dub, ''Glitter Force [=DokiDoki=]'', which merged or omitted more episodes than ''Glitter Force'', with roles that didn't appear in that dub being listed under the dub's name rather than the original name.

** Rakuten sometimes mistranslates all ''Pretty Cure'' series names on products as ''[[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 Yes! Pretty Cure 5 [=GoGo=]!]]'' regardless of the series they are actually from.

* ''[[Anime/{{Arrietty}} The Secret World of Arrietty]]'' was slammed on ''Lou Dobbs Tonight'' in 2012 for being made to be pro-Occupy Wall Street... wait, what? Even ignoring AnimationLeadTime, not only was the book it was based on written in the 1960s, but the film itself is a ''Japanese'' movie predating the then-ongoing ''American'' economic protest movement by almost two years, making the complaint a rather awkward one.

* In the book ''Japanese Animation From Painted Scrolls to Pokémon'' by Brigitte Koyama-Richard, the film ''Anime/SummerWars'' is described as being about a "shy" heroine who "takes refuge in a virtual universe that she has to learn to leave by trusting others." The actual main character of the film is a ''guy'', the female lead is not shy by any means, and neither of them "take refuge" in the virtual world and need help leaving it. Instead, the characters have to help Oz itself because it has been taken over by a [[AIIsACrapshoot rogue A.I]]. Oddly this is a somewhat accurate description of ''Anime/DotHackSign'' and they perhaps they got the two works confused, although even then there's still some inaccuracies. For one, [[spoiler:Tsukasa]] is literally trapped in the game and can't log out even if she wanted to, and she's more outright antisocial than shy.
