* The DVD/Blu-ray [[http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71g2jm594KL._SL1280_.jpg cover]] of the Maiden Japan edition of ''Anime/{{Patlabor}}: The New Files'' is a temporal anomaly, as it portrays Noa Izumi as both an adult and a child. This child is holding Alphonse the dog, who died during child!Izumi's time.

** The VHS for "Little Red Riding Hood" depicts her looking like a blonde Pippi Longstocking with pigtails and freckles and the wolf looks very ''Creator/ChuckJones'' inspired wearing overalls and a top hat, in the actual animation Red is small with curly blonde hair and big blue eyes while the wolf looks identical to the one from "The Three Little Pigs" and wears only a vest and pants.

* ''[[Literature/UchoutenKazoku Uchouten Kazoku's]]'' [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/50889l_2676.jpg cover]] makes you think that the girl next to Yasaburo is the female lead but she is actually one of Yasaburo's forms and Benten--the purple-haired one, barely visible behind the pot-bellied tanuki statue--is the actual female lead.
* The far-out extreme would be the cover of ''Warriors of the Wind'', the original dub of the classic {{anime}} film ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind'' done in the mid-'80s. The artist just [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Wotwuscover.jpg made things up and added characters and elements]] that weren't in the movie at all[[note]]There were no flying horses, guns, robots, swords made of light, or shadow-men, the monsters in the movie the one on the cover vaguely resembled were not ever ridden, and of those five characters only the one on the right looks anything like a character in the actual movie (Nausicaa, who even then wasn't blonde).[[/note]]. The dub itself [[CutAndPasteTranslation wasn't an accurate representation]] of Creator/HayaoMiyazaki's work either, but it wasn't ''that'' different.
* Some of the DVD covers for ''EndOfEvangelion'' have Toji featured in his pilot gear. Not only does Toji not appear in the film at all, but he'd already been crippled by that point in the story anyway.
* On the very last English dub DVD of ''Manga/SailorMoon R'', "Love Conquers All", Sailor Chibi Moon is pictured alongside Neo-Queen Serenity. However, Chibiusa doesn't actually show up as a Sailor Senshi until halfway through the next season. Apart from being spoilerific, entirely different companies did those seasons.

** Almost ALL of the Sailor Moon bootleg covers feature pictures from the wrong season. Behold, an awful example, featuring artwork from the very last season! [[http://www.amazon.com/Sailor-Moon-Seasons-Total-Episodes/dp/B0056CKMWI/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_0_0]].
* ''Manga/DelinquentInDrag'': The ADV Films release's VHS cover made Creator/GoNagai's high school comedy look like an action film.
* The cover of [[http://img.affenheimtheater.de/black_lagoon_sb_cover1_1.jpg the fourth DVD]] ''Manga/BlackLagoon'' [=DVDs=] depicts [[CreepyTwins Hansel and Gretel]] as a pair of cheerful smiling gothic lolis. Anyone who's actually ''seen'' the episodes concerning them will know they are probably the most horrific examples of fearsomeness that exist in any anime that doesn't involve the supernatural. And probably some that ''do''.
* Possibly the example with the biggest chance of emotional scarring: ''Manga/{{Narutaru}}''. The back cover of the first English volume describes it as "A rare mix of breathtaking fantasy and gripping action/adventure, filled with imagination, excitement, and delight." Paired with the way everything on the cover depicts the main character happily flying around against a pink background, and you've got a good cover to [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids attract little girls looking for a magical girl series]]. Except for the fact that ''Narutaru'' is actually {{seinen}}, and ''extremely disturbing'' seinen at that. Whoops. (That aforementioned blurb also proves that Dark Horse ''really'' hadn't done their research when they first got hold of the manga...) The opening of the anime [[BaitAndSwitchCredits is even worse]]; not only does it have a super-cute art style and [[SoundtrackDissonance a very upbeat theme song]], but it references some shocking events from later in the series and treats them like a ''joke''. Also, one of the DVD covers features one of the side characters, [[LonelyRichKid Hiroko]], smiling like a typical CheerfulChild. Let's just say she's not quite like that in canon.
* ''Manga/FrankenFran''. Dear God, Franken Fran. The author uses {{hentai}}-like covers like [[http://img35.yfrog.com/img35/3964/frankenfranv2cover.jpg this]] for a horror manga that has images like [[http://img197.yfrog.com/img197/6137/78309735.jpg THIS]].
** Lampshaded, as the tankouban covers are usually followed immediately by a version of the picture that's actually accurate to the manga's contents.
* ''Manga/ElfenLied'' is chock full of gore, dismemberment, nudity and psychological horror, and yet the cover to the manga usually looks something like [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/elfen-lied/images/9/9b/230px-Elfen_Lied_manga_volume_1.jpg this.]]
** The ADV releases had 'blood-stained' covers which were more straight-forward.
* The cover of ''Anime/ThisUglyYetBeautifulWorld'''s manga has lots of fanservicey, yuri undertoned pictures... all of which never come close to happening in the book itself.
* The covers of ''Manga/{{Amanchu}}'' show the girls in [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amanchu!_volume_1.jpg sexy]] [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/amanchu!_volume_2.jpg swimwear]]--which never happens in-series. Well, at least the scuba gear still makes sense.
* The box sets and covers of ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' feature characters wearing skimpy clothing they don't wear in the series (and an odd emphasis on implied {{twincest}}, which, while refuted by canon on both sides, is often used for {{fanservice}} in promo pictures) for the first season. The second season's box art is still full of cuteness, often with Rika and Satoko. This, too, is only an accurate representation of about 40% of the series's content. The other 60% is murder.
** The [=OVAs=] are even worse; they're full of the girls wearing very little clothing. Even Hanyuu and Rika, two girls who appear to be about nine years old.
** The English DVD covers are in negative, giving them a creepy look, despite the fact that the art is happy and cute. It's a thematic reflection of what happens when you don't trust your TrueCompanions. You can, however, turn it inside out to get the normal look, and the Japanese boxset covers are posters you find inside the box.
** The manga, at least, averts the trope - the covers are the characters in their normal attire, surrounded by blood splatters.
* The American manga ''ReturnToLabyrinth''. The [[http://artseblis.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/return-to-labyrinth-cover.jpeg cover]] of the first volume, a lovely illustration by Kouyu Shurei, suggests "pretty boy romance"; the story is an adventure full of ToiletHumor in [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v236/multimoog/labyrinth/2.gif a completely different "amercanime" art style]] by one Chris [[MeaningfulName Lie]].
* The first boxset of ''Anime/PrincessTutu'' in America drew a lot of fire for choosing to put [[BrokenBird Rue]] on the cover in a skimpy outfit instead of the main MagicalGirl herself. Creator/ADVFilms likely got a lot of complaints, because later editions switched to a cover with Tutu as the focus.
* ''Anime/NeoRanga'''s cover depicts the trio of sisters who compose the main characters wielding huge wicked looking swords and wearing nothing but body paint. In reality the series is more of a giant robot-style deal, and while the characters do don the body paint at one point during the series (albeit with clothes), the giant swords are completely absent.
* The covers of ''Manga/FruitsBasket'', due to the system used to decide who's on the cover (more or less appearance order at least at the start), the character on the cover often doesn't appear much or even at all inside the book. The final two books feature Tohru's father and mother, both of whom are deceased.
** This is lampshaded in several cases, when filler pictures of the characters complain about how little they are in the story.
* [[http://cdn3a.dvdempire.org/products/78/1613578h.jpg The front cover]] of the North American DVD release for ''Anime/{{Simoun}}'' featured Neveril and Aeru sort of...hugging? Dancing? Playing patty-cake? Whatever they are doing they are close together and naked, but somehow their embrace has no sexual overtones at all, so the whole thing just looks weird. Also, there is not a single Simoun visible on the front cover, back cover, or spine. The series is '''named''' ''Simoun'' and the machines are nowhere to be found. Without already knowing the background to the series there is no way to determine even what genre the show is, first guess would probably go to MagicalGirl or an {{Ecchi}} series.
* The Animate cover for Vol. 1 of ''[[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force]]'' [[http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/9260/68833fbe.jpg looked like this]]. One wonders how many unwitting readers bought it expecting a love-comedy, only to be treated [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_senki_lyrical_nanoha_force/v01/c002/7.html with scenes like these]] from this DarkerAndEdgier installment of the ''Nanoha'' franchise?
* This trope could be applied to the ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' season sets. The first set, containing the first '''34''' episodes, features Super Saiyan 4 Goku on the cover, Super Saiyan 4 being a form Goku first achieves in '''episode 35'''. And the second set features Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, a '''''[[OneSceneWonder One Episode Wonder]]''''' from late in the series.
** When the Saban-dubbed episodes of Anime/DragonBallZ were released on DVD by Pioneer, there were three covers for the Namek arc that shown concept art of the characters ''past'' the Saban run. The concept art in question? Vegeta in the outfit he wore during the Freeza fight, Goku preparing the Spirit Bomb to use against Freeza and Goku as a Super Saiyan with the last one being on two of the three covers. Kid Goku is on the last cover, but he's not shown in any flashbacks in the episodes on that set.
* Would you think ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' would be about fighting ghost with samurai swords with a cover like [[http://www.swapstartmybiz.com/bleach-season-1-cover1.jpg this?]]
** An even better example is the cover of Volume 34, which has [[http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww56/RiseOPumkinator/nelliel.jpg Adult Nel on the cover]]. If you were a newcomer to Bleach you could be forgiven for thinking that adult Nel would play a significant role in this volume. In actuality, she has a total of '''7''' pages worth of screentime (that's counting a Double-Page spread as 2 Pages) and everything from her transformation into her adult form to her backstory was in Volume '''33'''.
* In a combination of this and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids "What do you mean, it's not for kids?"]], the most sexually explicit yaoi manga are often mistaken for tamer series due to the heavy use of pastel-tones and flowers.
* The manga prequel to ''VideoGame/HellgateLondon'' has a cover that looks like a nice Dragon Ball-esque adventure, with the main characters and their family arranged in a happy little formation. The actual content is far from what this implies-most of the family is brutally slaughtered near the end, and that's not even getting into what comes before that.
* The US cover art for ''Manga/InitialD Third Stage'' shows a car that appears for all of 5 minutes of the movie, and the race against said car, despite being on Battle Stage, isn't much of one.
* At last one edition of the first book of ''Manga/BarefootGen'' suffers from it. The story is ''far'' less happy than its [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/barefootgencoverslie.jpg cover]]. What a happy looking series... about the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
** ''Might'' be true for a Japanese audience. However, given pretty much the only thing Hiroshima is known for to people ''outside'' Japan, anyone who can't guess what "A cartoon story of Hiroshima" is going to wind up being about fails history forever.
* The ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' "Official Casebook" manga collections have back cover blurbs that make it sound like the stories involved in the books will all involve mystery solving and legal action in the vein of the games. Though there are a few mysteries involved most of the stories are just SliceOfLife pieces about the characters outside of court.
* Many volumes of ''Manga/RaveMaster'' have highly nonsensical/comical cover art which has '''absolutely nothing''' to do with the volume's story. One of the weirdest ones involved Haru and friends snowboarding.
* The cover of the first volume of the North American release of ''LightNovel/{{Sukisho}}'' have the title characters holding each other, surrounded by multitudes of bright pink flowers. Seems perfectly innocent, right? Or at least it does until you know [[YaoiGenre what it's]] [[MindRape about]].
* ''Manga/OnePiece'' Volume 59 has Ace looking ready to kick some ass, even though [[spoiler: he's mortally injured at the ''start'' of the volume and dead at the end of the first chapter.]]
** It could simply be as a tribute to the character, since [[spoiler:this is the last time he appears]].
* The poster and VHS cover for ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'' has several Pokémon in the background that aren't even in the movie at all.
** Some of the VHS covers for the ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' series itself are misleading as well:
*** The front and back covers of "Psychic Surprise" both show clips from the episode, "The Tower of Terror", which is not included on this volume at all.
*** Pikachu is shown wearing boxing gloves on the cover of "Fighting Tournament". While there is a scene in the episode where he wears them, he doesn't actually participate in the tournament.
*** The cover of "The Great Race" shows Pikachu running in the race when in the episode itself, he actually rides Squirtle.
*** "Jigglypuff Pop" shows various Pokémon singing when Jigglypuff is the only Pokémon that sings.
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'': Oh great, yet another series featuring cute magical girls fighting monster of th...[[MindScrew WhatIsThisIDontEven]]... More specifically, the artwork implies that [[spoiler:Madoka becomes a [[MagicalGirl Puella Magi]] from the beginning when it doesn't actually happen until ''the end.'']]
** The SpinOff manga ''Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica'' has a variation. Almost everyone assumed that the green haired girl on the cover of the first volume was the eponymous Oriko. Then the official preview images were released, revealing that ''[[IAmNotShazam she wasn't Oriko.]]''
** The [[http://wiki.puella-magi.net/File:Disc_2.jpg cutesy cover of Volume 2]] ([[AmericanKirbyIsHardcore not used for the U.S. release]]) does this sneakily. It is, in fact, an accurate portrayal of the literally candy-filled setting and upbeat mood of a scene in that volume... except, ten seconds later, [[MoodWhiplash things get ugly.]] Specifically, [[spoiler:the girl on the left is gruesomely decapitated]]. Though it almost doesn't matter, since this scene is approaching ItWasHisSled territory in the anime fandom.
* Some English ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' [=DVDs=] show the girls with their stomachs exposed, blushing, and their skirts looking like they're going to fly up; Yomi is not only blushing, but is covering her skirt, making the series look like a fanservice anime.
* The cover of the anime ''Manga/JyuOhSei'' shows the main character, Thor, in an outfit he never wears, complete with [[RuleOfCool war paint, a headband and sword]].
* ''Manga/WanderingSon'' covers show the two {{Transsexual}} characters 'cross-dressing', when in the series they rarely dress up like that (especially the protagonist). The coloring of the characters is often incorrect, retcons and ArtEvolution aside. The back of the first volume shows Maho with ''blond hair'' while the inner artwork at the beginning of the manga shows her with as a brunette.
* In the ''Literature/WarriorCats'' manga ''Escape From The Forest'', [[BigBad Tigerstar]] gets the cover all to himself, implying that [[AdvertisedExtra he will be important in it]], however he only appears once to ask the protagonist a question. After she answers it, he is not seen again.
* ''Manga/MiracleGirls'' covers almost always have the characters with incorrect haircolors. The mangaka lampshades this in her omakes, saying that it's due to the printing process and her original images had the correct colors.
* The cover of the ''Anime/BurstAngel'' OVA makes it look like a sequel to the TV series. It's actually a PREQUEL, set between a flashback episode and the rest of the series.
* A handful of early DVD covers for the Hungarian release of ''Anime/TransformersArmada'' show off characters that either haven't been introduced yet in the episodes that are on the disc, or use colorations that the characters only take on way-way later.
* The cover of ''Anime/DivergenceEve'' looks like a generic mecha series with lots of fanservice - when really the breasts of the lead characters are the last thing you end up thinking about whilst watching the show... and its incredibly complicated plot.
* Early promotional material for ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' portrayed Impmon in typical BigBad fashion, as he was at the time planned as the series's main antagonist. This route was later abandoned.
** Where to begin with the "Digimon: The Movie" poster/DVD & VHS art? The posters show the original Season 1 characters as depicted in Season 2 (high-school age), but these characters are mostly shown at their Season 1 ages (and all but Tai, Izzy, Matt and Sora have glorified cameos). Davis, Yolei and Cody are depicted in their DigiWorld outfits--they never wear them during the movie and never enter the DigiWorld. Terriermon is shown along with what is possibly supposed to be Kokomon's rookie form, Lopmon--only Lopmon never appears in the movie and is shown inaccurately on the cover as a demented, fanged Terriermon. Oh, and the back of the VHS and DVD case features a plot summary about the older kids being kidnapped by a rogue Digimon--a plotline completely cut out of the dubbed movie.
* Purposely done with the Japanese version of Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei as the bookflap blurb describes nonsensical stories that had nothing to do with the actual contents.
* The cover art of one American LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya DVD release shows Haruhi standing alone with her shadow being that of her BunnyGirl outfit, implying that a bunny girl plays a much larger role in the plot than it actually does.
* One of two different DVD covers used by Creator/CentralParkMedia for the OVA '' Strange Love'' (AKA ''Hen'') depicted two characters kissing, in front of an abstract red/pink background. One of them is the main character (Chizuru), but the black-haired girl is a very minor character with little screentime and is not Chizuru's love interest -- the picture was taken from an ImagineSpot scene that explains that Chizuru isn't attracted to her or any other women, [[IfItsYouItsOkay with one exception]].
* The VHS cover art for ''TheEnchantedJourney'' features Glicko and Nono as giant anthropomorphic chipmunks walking on their hind legs, carrying backpacks, and having human like hands, in the film however neither are anthropomorphic in any way.
* Promotional materials of ''Manga/KotouraSan'''s AnimatedAdaptation advertised the series as a RomanticComedy between a {{telepath|y}}ic girl and his boyfriend that often has perverted {{Imagine Spot}}s of her. This is in fact just a small part of the premise--to put it short, it is an example of CerebusRollercoaster, and [[spoiler:the said girl's childhood was ruined in the {{backstory}} [[BlessedWithSuck due to her powers]], and it remains to be a major {{conflict}} in the plot.]] The couple's relationships, however, is accurate.
* The Parkfield Playtime release of ''Codename: Anime/{{Robotech}}'' in the UK. As well as the terrible day-glo cover art which doesn't match the original art style at all and is obviously meant to scream [[AnimationAgeGhetto "we are marketing this for kids"]], but the character on the front doesn't even appear in the feature: it's the adult Dana Sterling from ''The Masters'' segment [[note]]a.k.a. Jeanne Franciax from ''Anime/SuperDimensionCavalrySouthernCross''[[/note]], when the feature covers ''The Macross Saga'' only and doesn't even get to the point where baby Dana is born! Mercilessly parodied in [[http://www.anime-games.co.uk/VHS/anime/codename-robotech.php this online review.]]
** Though it would seem she does appear briefly, in the pose depicted, in the original ''{{Robotech}}'' intro.
* The VHS cover for the "My Favorite Fairy Tales presents The Three Little Pigs" the pigs look like a mixture between the Disney animated versions and the claymation versions featured in the Green Jelly music video, in the actual animation they look nothing like that, they're small with round heads and bodies and big eyes in a stylized anime style, and the wolf on the back of the cover only vaguely resembles how he looks in the video.
* The poster for the English language release of the 1977 ''SpaceBattleshipYamato'' (Called Space Cruiser at the time) film has the WaveMotionGun being used as a launch tube for a spaceship. The spaceship isn't even one that Yamato carries but the alien Iscandarian ship that carries the message from Queen Starsha. Also, Analyzer is now a mass produced robot as there are three of him seen in this poster.
* From the artwork for the first Blu-ray edition of ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'', you'd think Akane was a skilled martial rhythmic gymnast. However, she only does it for an episode and a half, is shown to be very horrible at it (though she does show some improvement a bit later on), and is incapacitated by a foot injury before she can even compete. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Plus, her leotard isn't pink.]]
* [[http://pics.dmm.com/mono/movie/n_618drtd08752r/n_618drtd08752rpl.jpg This]] ''Anime/SaintSeiyaOmega'' DVD cover, which seems to portray Dragon Ryuhou, one of the protagonists and a BadassAdorable NiceGuy, as an EvilOverlooker, if the SlasherSmile is anything to go by. The fact that he's not wearing [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black and red]] should be a pretty clear hint that there's something wrong there.
