* Likewise, the first two episodes of ''Anime/TheBigO'' featured a short clip of Big O's face hardening out of a pool of molten metal with a booming voiceover reciting the quasi CatchPhrase "Cast in the name of God, ye not guilty."

* ''LightNovel/BlackBullet'' featured a TitleMontage for its first few episodes, before the OP debuted about halfway through the series. This could actually be a subversion similar to ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'', however, as the OP would have spoiled certain details (such as [[spoiler:Rentaro's bionic parts]]) had it been used right from Episode 1.
* ''LightNovel/GargoyleOfTheYoshinagas'' did this with its ending for the first two episodes.

* The pilot for ''Series/TheGreatestAmericanHero'' could not use the theme song, "Believe It or Not", not because it wasn't ready but because its lyrics react to events that take place midway through the episode. (The theme then appears over Ralph's first attempts at flying.) The opening titles in the pilot are superimposed over B-roll footage and preliminary action, movie-of-the-week style.

* Likewise, the TitleMontage credits for ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' only appear with the first episode after the movie-length pilot, which has its credits as simple text over the action--and these only appear after an ''eight-minute'' prologue. A billboard reading "Smallville, Kansas--Creamed Corn Capital of the World" near the start is the only concession to the idea of giving viewers some idea of what they're watching.

* The double-length pilot for ''Series/LoisAndClark'' features bare names coming up (at length) over the waving red cape animation used for the end credits. The signature TitleMontage credits come into play starting with the next episode.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'': The first few episodes used clips from the show itself for the segment showcasing the Gundams, with the proper animation showing up later. The process was repeated with the second opening. The US DVD release, however, used the detailed opening from the start.

* The creepy, floating letters in the title sequence of ''Series/{{LOST}}'' were only meant as a placeholder. The producers ended up keeping this sequence for the entire series.

* The music over the end credits of ''Series/WKRPInCincinnati'' was written but didn't have any lyrics yet, so the singer just scatted over the music as an example. The producers liked the effect so the scatting stayed.
