Widget Series has been renamed to Quirky Work as per TRS (it's also YMMV).


* In it's first few minutes, ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' seems like it'll be a typical SliceOfLife story about a jaded preteen boy in a small, boring town. However, any sense of normalcy is thoroughly shattered with the sudden arrival of a deranged woman riding a Vespa, who hits said boy in the face with a guitar. [[WidgetSeries And it just gets weirder from there...]]

* By the time you read and watch ''Manga/CellsAtWorkCodeBlack'' you will soon realize that this is not the [[Manga/CellsAtWork regular]] [[ShonenDemographic shonen]] series you read and watch but the Seinen [[DarkerAndEdgier darker and grittier]] version of it that involves dangerous diseases and cells getting [[AnyoneCanDie killed off a lot]]

* ''Manga/ShimejiSimulation'': It starts with Shijima Tsukishima going out after two years of her reclusion, where she later has a fateful encounter with Majime Yamashita. That is until the appearance of the Gardener and countless oddities in the world start to show that there is more to the manga that what is initially seen.

* The anime of ''Manga/ExcelSaga'' opens with Excel Excel, recently graduated schoolgirl, skipping across the schoolyard, happy that she's already got her first adult job lined up. Then she skips out into the street and is immediately hit by a truck. As her life (literally) flashes before her eyes, a voice calls out to her: "Excel. You must not die in the first episode. Even if you care not for yourself, think of the storyline." The series gets weirder from there.

** While most of the ''Pretty Cure'' series are light-hearted, ''Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure'' actually starts off with a DownerBeginning, with Trump Kingdom and Cure Sword being defeated; letting you know that it's going to be ''much'' DarkerAndEdgier than the other works.

* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'' sets up the tone of the series very early on the first time we see [[DecoyProtagonist Firo Prochainezo]], which also counts as an EstablishingCharacterMoment for him. Firo gives some money to an old homeless man, who immediately pulls a knife and tries to rob him. Firo catches the knife without even looking, but gets his fingers sliced off in the process. [[HealingFactor Then the fingers reattach]], and Firo knocks the dumbstruck man out with one punch.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' begins with Touma running away from a gang of delinquents. He loses them, only for a girl to appear and reveal that she knocked out the delinquents herself--he was actually trying to save ''them'' from ''her''. The girl attacks him with [[ShockAndAwe giant bolts of electricity]], which he [[AntiMagic negates using his right hand]].

* The first two scenes of ''LightNovel/FateZero'' can easily sum up the themes behind the show. The first scene is Kiritsugu seeing his wife and her newborn child, with his first words being that he'll be the one to kill his wife and she shows that she's completely cool with it so long as it helps Kiritsugu fulfill his ambition of making the world a better place. Next scene is the deuteragonist, who arrives at a Master's house with his father to talk about their roles as overseers of the Grail War and how their job is to make sure the war's as balanced as possible... only for his father and the Master to then tell him plans regarding how they will support said Master in winning the war. These two scenes help establish the central theme of the show: There's no honor to be had in this war, not with well-intended pragmatists who bend the rules running the game.

* The manga adaptation of ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' establishes the tone of the series and Kaname and Sousuke's relationship in the first few pages, which are also given in full color. Kaname wakes up on an average day, takes a shower, and screams in fright when she notices a cockroach. Sousuke smashes in through her window in full combat gear with a gun in hand and ask-yells if she's okay. After a few seconds registering what just happened, Kaname wallops him for acting crazy ''[[NoodleIncident again]]'' and [[AccidentalPervert for seeing her in just a towel]].

* ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer'': The first entry establishes this series is not pulling its punches when it shows a party of novice adventurers who don't really know what they're doing going into a cave to deal with a goblin infestation. Within the span of a few minutes, the mage gets stabbed in the gut with a dagger coated in debilitating poison (and later has to be {{Mercy Kill}}ed despite their efforts to save her), the warrior is graphically torn limb from limb by a horde of them after his long sword gets caught on the cave ceiling and knocked out of his hand, and the female brawler is smacked into several walls by a huge goblin, beaten to a pulp, and then pinned down and ''[[MarsNeedsWomen gang-raped]]'' by the rest. Only when poor Priestess, the only member of the party who knows that rushing in without thinking is a bad idea, is cornered by more goblins who want to do the same things to her does our ''real'' protagonist arrive and show us how goblin slaying is ''properly'' done, and he establishes himself to be ''ruthless'', not even sparing the children among the goblins he kills.

* ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' seemingly begins with the usual [[TrappedInAnotherWorld isekai shenanigans]] [[spoiler: though there are [[ChillyReception several hints]] of things starting to go downhill for the Shield Hero well before his little [[BitchInSheepsClothing "helper"]] [[CynicismCatalyst sets him up the very next day.]]]] Unfortunately, [[DownerBeginning this isn't like your typical isekai with the MC being OP...]] [[spoiler: [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Though there is a way for the Shield Hero to have genuine power...]] [[SuperPoweredEvilSide at a terrible price in return.]]]]

* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' initially seems like a relatively grim but still typical magical girl show. Then comes episode three, where [[spoiler:the series resident CoolBigSis gets her head bitten off by the latest MonsterOfTheWeek and [[EatenAlive her corpse eaten messily]]]], which sets the tone nicely for what's still to come.
* ''Manga/HappySugarLife''-By the time you look at the first page of the series you will know that this is not a bright and colorful manga but a violent psychological one.

* ''LightNovel/AccelWorld'' starts with a scene of Haruyuki hiding in the bathroom during lunch and playing an online squash game, showing that it's about a group of emotionally damaged individuals and the virtual world in which they do battle.

* The very first scene of ''Manga/MissKobayashisDragonMaid'' has the titular Kobayashi wake up one morning with a hangover, take some stomach medicine while [[CrackOhMyBack complaining about back pain]], and get ready for work at her SoulCrushingDeskJob.

Except Kobayashi's morning routine is interspersed with an '''[[WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions ENORMOUS F**K YOU DRAGON]]''' flying into the city. As soon as Kobayashi opens her door, which is about as tall as her apartment building, roars right in her face and shapeshifts into a girl in a maid outfit, telling Kobayashi she's there to start working for her [[IOweYouMyLife as thanks for saving her life and inviting her to come live with her]] [[WhatDidIDoLastNight the previous night during a drunken bender]].
