** The original anime is often remembered as having a pink tint as a deliberate stylistic choice, but the original broadcast and early home video releases had a much more vibrant color palette. The infamous pink tint is due to [[DigitalDestruction degradation of the original film that were used for later HD releases]].

*** Because of Purple Haze's [[MakeThemRot powers]], it's often thought that Fugo was PutOnABus halfway through ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Golden Wind]]'' because his power was [[StoryBreakerPower too broken]].[[note]]That Purple Haze [[OneSceneWonder only ever had one fight]] doesn't help.[[/note]] The real reason was because Fugo was [[WhatCouldHaveBeen supposed to have been]] a traitor who spied on the heroes for [[BigBad the Boss]], and Araki, [[CreatorBreakdown in a dark place at the time]], couldn't bear to have him betray Bucciarati and the gang, and therefore wrote him out instead.

The most likely source behind the rumor is the fact that Araki mused in a different interview that he disliked writing characters with poison-based powers (along with fire-based powers, an experience he learned when writing Avdol), and Fugo is the most notable character with a Stand whose ability could be described as poison, which makes it an easy conclusion to jump to.

*** It's often believed that [[spoiler:Muhammed Avdol's]] DisneyDeath in the first half of the Part was originally intended to have been permanent, and was [[SavedByTheFans changed after the fact]] due to the character being an EnsembleDarkhorse. In actuality, Araki confirmed in an interview that the fake-out was always planned and just done as a way to shake up the formula a bit while giving Polnareff some CharacterDevelopment, and [[spoiler:Avdol]] was always the least popular member of the Stardust Crusaders with readers anyway. The misconception likely stems from the explanation given in the manga [[AssPull not matching what is actually shown in the original scene]], something amended in the anime.

*** It's common for people who are into the franchise's shipping fandom to assume that Jotaro and Kakyoin's relationship is a hotbed of HoYay, standing out even in a franchise well-known for it. While the existence of gay subtext in media is always going to be in the eye of the beholder, Jotaro and Kakyoin actually have [[TheFriendsWhoNeverHang very few interactions in the entire run of the manga]], with most of them being concentrated near Kakyoin's introduction when he was a mind-controlled villain, and even fewer that could be considered homoerotic. Even Araki described their relationship as "not super close." However, because ''Stardust Crusaders'' is a historically popular Part, and Kakyoin is the character in the Part who it makes the most sense to ship with Jotaro (they're the same age, come from similar backgrounds, aren't tied up in other pairings, lack any real obstacles to them getting together, and map to {{Seme}}/{{Uke}} archetypes without much difficulty), this naturally translated to them being [[FanPreferredCouple an incredibly popular pairing]], despite being mostly a case of ShipsThatPassInTheNight.

** Alternately, there exists the ''other'' interpretation that Light is just a NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist only interested in personal power. This is something ''Light himself'' personally refutes in his climactic MotiveRant, pointing out that, had he only wanted personal recognition, he would've gone public in some form as Kira instead of continuing to commit his murders in total secrecy. Light's actual primary failing, as highlighted both in-series and by WordOfGod, is that he is ''delusional'', genuinely believing that the countless murders he commits with the Death Note can be justified on account of making the world better, and that everyone trying to stop him is merely acting out of arrogance.

** Many of the comments left on videos of the anime, both on Website/YouTube and Website/{{Crunchyroll}}, state that the original broadcast order is the only way to properly enjoy the series and that those who are watching the episodes in chronological order are missing out, implying that the directors of the anime chose to broadcast the first season in anachronic order in order to be artsy.

** Diana Cavendish is sometimes referred to as being an AlphaBitch towards Akko for her [[FantasticRacism muggle, non-magical background]]. While Diana dislikes Akko (at least, early on) and is a jerk towards her, it has nothing to do with her background as a muggle. Rather, it comes from Akko being a fan of the scorned [[HeroWithBadPublicity Shiny Chariot]] and embracing the ideal that magic should be fun (in a setting where magic is treated as SeriousBusiness), on top of her childish naiveté and general disregard for tradition and rules. This might be from people assuming that the world of ''Little Witch Academia'' follows the same rules as ''Franchise/HarryPotter'', where muggles and magical people who come from non-magical backgrounds are discriminated against.

** Due to the similarities between ''Madoka'' and ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'', there are some who believe the show to be a battle royale-type story where magical girls fight each other to the death. The fact that later shows like ''Anime/MagicalGirlRaisingProject'', which [[FollowTheLeader follow this show's footsteps]], actually ''are'' battle royale-type shows certainly seems to reinforce that idea. While it's mentioned early on that magical girls do indeed fight each other over Grief Seeds and territory, in the actual plot of the series, only two magical girls (Sayaka and Kyouko) come to blows. Moreover, the rivalry between the two lasts about two episodes before they find ''some'' common ground and the actual plot goes on to reveal [[spoiler: Kyubey]] as the actual antagonist. Various spin-offs would waver back and forth on the battle royale elements, but in the original series itself, they aren't nearly as pronounced as someone who isn't familiar with the show would believe. In fact, unlike ''Ryuki'', the girls do ''not'' need to fight each other to have their wishes granted. The wishes are granted from the get-go, with the girls knowing full well that they have to fight Witches for the rest of their lives in exchange.

** Anyone who watches anime [[ItWasHisSled generally knows by now]] that its cutesy appearance is a facade, concealing ridiculously traumatizing PsychologicalHorror. This is only half right; its actual genre is {{tragedy}}, not horror. Characters die in dramatic and/or ironic ways, but it has little to no graphic violence or anything else that one would expect from the general perception of it. Its most infamous violent scene [[GoryDiscretionShot happens mostly offscreen]] (though the manga shows quite a bit more detail). [[spoiler:There's a SatanicArchetype who likes to screw around with souls, but that's nothing new.]] Much of the overreaction comes from the heavy thematic content played out with [[DoubleStandard an all-female cast]]--many viewers seemingly interpreted it as an {{Utsuge}} that lacks a [[DamselInDistress damsel-rescuing]] male viewpoint character, instead of a self-contained story. [[spoiler:And they do get semi-rescued in the end--just not by a guy. Madoka herself becomes the guardian deity of all magical girls, but vanishes from the mortal world, making for a BittersweetEnding instead of the expected DownerEnding or EverybodyDiesEnding.]]

** There are some people who refer to the English dub theme song of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', which was reused with some alterations in ''Anime/Digimon/Adventure02'' and ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', as the "Digi-Rap". However, the "Digi-Rap" is actually the altered version with added rap lyrics from ''Anime/DigimonTheMovie'', while the TV version is simply called the "Digimon Theme", which doesn't even have any rap lyrics, being more of a techno song.

** The Brazilian dub of ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' (and sometimes [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 its sequel]]) is sometimes mistaken by some fans in the country to be based on the Saban edit. This is because the dub used a localization of such opening theme [[https://youtu.be/hYCUUfV3WEU as basis]], as well as it used the American names for the characters, the Western logo,[[note]]its cable broadcaster Fox Kids also used to promote its series until ''[[Anime/DigimonFrontier Frontier]]'' as ''Digimon 1-4'', just like it was promoted in the eponymous US block[[/note]] and depending on the broadcast, it also used the instrumental version of the Saban opening in the credits and such credits layout was ''[[https://youtu.be/olsrxTR8Ofw?t=200 very]]'' similar to [[https://youtu.be/WTiylYKOR4M the Saban one]]. However, despite those facts, the dub was ''really'' based on the Japanese one. Unlike the Saban dub, it kept the "Brave Heart" Digivolution theme and other background music, no visual edit was made, title cards and general text in animation were maintained in Japanese, and in the original broadcast, [[https://youtu.be/wo2Aafk_a8w the original opening and ending theme used to be played]]. The reason why they changed the original opening to the localized one by Saban? Channel TV Globo decided to promote singer Angélica (who was the host of the block which used to broadcast the anime at the time) to perform such song, and chose the Saban version simply [[TotallyRadical because it sounded funkier and "badder" than the original]]. That version [[AndYouThoughtItWouldFail was so "liked"]] that its cable broadcaster (Fox Kids)[[note]]yeah, it was a channel outside of the US[[/note]] also used that theme later and it became the BootstrappedTheme in the country.[[note]]it didn't affect Hispanic America, however, the dub localized "Butter-Fly" instead[[/note]] Such cable channel [[https://youtu.be/gibliuVJbDc also used the Saban theme]] for the sequel mentioned before, (the reason for the previous parenthesis, while Globo broadcast [[https://youtu.be/ehkmAW5ozDs a localized "Target"]][[note]]however they "[[WhatSongWasThisAgain translated]]" that song as an explicit BraggingThemeTune, making it sound really Sabanesque[[/note]]) however [[https://youtu.be/5ia6swY4rU0 they didn't use the instrumental version in the credits of this season]]. In fact, in question of the rest of the localization, the short ending in TV Globo (which was also used by later in Fox Kids) was for giving space for other shows in their block and the American names [[ExecutiveMeddling were requested by Toei themselves]]. What ''really'' used to be broadcast with an editing by Saban there was [[Anime/DigimonTheMovie their blended movie]] and, more than a decade later, ''Anime/DigimonFusion''.

** Many, ''many'' fans will assert that it's impossible to cure Jusenkyo curses by using one to overwrite another, pointing to the existence of one of the few recurring villains, Pantyhose Taro, who added CombatTentacles to his [[MixAndMatchCritters Yeti/Ox/Crane/Eel]] cursed form by using Jusenkyo's Spring of Drowned Octopus. Whilst this belief is easy to understand, the problem is that the series continues to present Nanniichuan as the cure for any of the cursed men in the series, and in fact Ranma and Genma ''were'' able to successfully overwrite their curses (albeit only temporarily) with Instant Nanniichuan long before Pantyhose Taro ever appeared. The conflict has become amongst the most notorious {{Plot Hole}}s in the series, with the most commonly accepted explanation is that overwriting a curse requires total immersion, but a cursory splash can cause only limited effects, based on how a single drop of Spring of Drowned Twins water on a bump on Happosai's head caused it to become two bumps.
** Even a cursory look online will find people claiming that, by the series ended, Ranma had fully accepted his GenderBender condition and no longer thought of it as a curse. This is a misconception that largely stems from the very first online fan translation of the manga has Ranma declare he no longer cared about the curse -- but this was a {{Woolseyism}}, and what Ranma ''actually'' says is that when he had Akane's life on the line, it took precedent over being cured, and he doesn't regret losing his chance by focusing on saving Akane. And even in both scenes, it's shown that Ranma is lying about his feelings whilst trying to come off as a stoic badass, an act that Akane sees through instantly. It's popular in no small part because it plays into an increasingly widespread MisaimedFandom championing a TransAudienceInterpretation, who tend to ignore Ranma's vehement desire to be cured in canon.
** The series ends with Jusenkyo destroyed, thus dooming Ranma to be cursed forever. Except no, it doesn't. The last chapter ends with Jusenkyo being ''temporarily'' flooded, but the Jusenkyo Guide asserts that the waters '''will''' go back down and everything will be back to normal. During the extended epilogue, when Soun explains how he got his hands on a cask of Nanniichuan water to bribe Ranma into wedding Akane, the Jusenkyo Guide is shown saying that the floodwater receded and the springs returned to normal, so that's why he sent Ranma the cask as a thank-you for protecting his daughter. This misconception may be popular because it makes Ranma and company departing back for Japan immediately instead of staying and waiting for the springs to return to normal seem less stupid.



** It is said that Lum is the only girl in the universe who can stand being round [[LovableSexManiac Ataru]]. Even if you rule out [[ChildhoodFriend Shinobu]], who was supposed to be the heroine but got hit by OutOfFocus, this isn't the case. [[{{YukiOnna}} Oyuki]] only [[NoMeansYes feigns resistance]] when Ataru approached her in the bedroom with nobody around[[note]]confirmed by the manga. Either way, being one of the most powerful characters in the series, she could stop him in a blink if she wished to[[/note]] and Benten is okay with Ataru's flirting during the setsubun battles. While the previous two instances can be considered EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, there is no dispute that [[CuteGhostGirl Nozomi]] genuinely loves Ataru. In episode 39 there was also a girl who actually agrees to go on a date with Ataru, [[YankTheDogsChain but Lum cuts that off]]. In the Electric Jungle storyline, which introduced Shingo to the manga and became one of the {{OAV}}s, Ataru is likewise held up in meeting up with Lum when one of the girls he randomly asks out on the way there actually agrees to a date.
** Everybody knows that Lum not only uses her ShockAndAwe powers to blast Ataru when she's angry, but also electrocutes him when giving him TheGlomp as a sign of her love. Except that "joke" actually barely existed in the manga. She does it three times, twice on the same page, when she returns in chapter 3, then does it once in chapter 4. After that, it doesn't appear again until chapter ''27'', which she zaps Ataru whilst believing that it's "abnormal" for humans not to enjoy being zapped when some of her stalkers (the guys who, in the anime, became Lum's Stormtroopers) [[TooKinkyToTorture wax ecstatic about being zapped]] -- in that same chapter, when he passes out, one of them mentions that humans can die from being shocked too much, and that revelation seems to stick; Lum ''never'' zaps Ataru in happiness again, save for one time in chapter '''112''' when she's [[DrunkOnMilk blitzed out of her skull on umeboshi]]. The anime is probably the biggest fuel for this belief, as she explicitly names this electrified glomp as "Expression of Love" there, and in episode 5 it's inferred she does it a lot "off-camera", as one of the people who make Ataru run away from home is a local electrician complaining about all the overtime he has to pull to fix the transformers overloaded when Lum does it.

In fact, outside of Lum's angry "darling no baka!" in the 1981 anime, most of their supposed catchphrases appear very rarely, if it all. Even Ten's "I'm a good boy", probably the second most common recurring catchphrase, doesn't appear very often in the anime episodes.

* Many European fans believe the English versions for the ''Manga/InuYasha'' songs are produced by The Ocean Group ("[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd9c3AnGEr4 Change the World]]"). They are really made by the Italian dub, sung by Italians, and have only aired in Italy. Anyone who has seen the American TV broadcasts will quickly tell you the English dub uses the original Japanese ending themes, and the openings aren't broadcast at all due to time constraints (though they did air on Canadian TV and are on the [=DVDs=] and, yup, in Japanese).

* ''Anime/SSSSGridman'': It's often claimed by fans that [[BigBad Alexis-Krib]] is revealed in [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary material]] to be actually a corrupted Over-Justice from ''Anime/SpacePatrolLuluco'', hence they similar designs. This is a misinterpretation of an interview comment from Alexis' voice actor Toru Inaba, where he joked that Over-Justice had turned into a villain [[spoiler:before being fixed by Gridman]]. The two characters canonically have no relation whatsoever.

** The woman who was with Dario Brando while he was looting the Joestars' carriage at the start of ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'' is not Dio's mother, as is often assumed. She was just a woman Dario had met that night at a bar who briefly acted as his partner in crime. The confusion is understandable though, as Dio's actual mother [[TheGhost never appears onscreen]] and Dario only makes one passing comment about her being "some girl from the bar" which didn't make it into the anime.
