What is your definition of "mislead"? Who is misled and what is being misleading?

Pokemon Best Wishes N Opening was one
A great opening to an arc that turned out to be boring and disappointing
That Charizard vs Reshiram tease that never happened

Code Geass R2 OP 1. Where tf was that majestic horse?

Shippuden OP 13. Where tf was that epic Kage vs Madara fight?

By far the biggest offender tho...

Team Guy vs Pain I still believe it was a symbolism for they being thrown away from the season already in the opening.

Egao no Daika's OP tricks you into thinking it's going to be a somber, but hopeful war story - in reality it's pretty bleak and pessimistic, and one of the characters that's featured heavily in the OP doesn't last very long in the actual series


Silent Mobius' OP gives off a vibe that the series is going to be an intense, action heavy supernatural series, but it's actually a somewhat chill cyberpunk cop drama with supernatural and slice of life elements


Victory Gundam has this awesome energetic OP that just makes you want to STAND UP TO THE VICTORY... and then the actual show is one of the bleakest entries in the franchise

Ah yes, the actual proper opening sequence which a lot of people have failed to grasp and were "let down" as a result...
Just hoping more people will see this and reflect upon
The 4th Boruto opening is a metaphorical representation of children's anxiety and growing up in the shadow of their parents. I have been warning people on reddits about its since day 1. It NEVER would LOGICALLY make ANY SENSE to ACTUALLY show ANYTHING from the opening. It was an allusion to their inner fight against said negative emotions. Anyone who failed to realize it is still in their infant state as an art appreciator. And likely disappointed their literature teachers as well.

If you are talking about the blue-something haired girl, then the signs were there. Now, here, I would not blame you for not seeing all of them, basically three which suggest that it will not be quite as happy as the generic "cute girls" thing would be, and that the aforementioned girl might not receive a happy ending.

The 1999 Hunter x Hunter opening makes it look like it will be an episodic adventure series about a group of friends who travel around visiting all sorts of places with different people and whatnot.

Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

Zombieland Saga. The OP makes it look like a show about some idols who part time as zombie killing Power Rangers. Not that the show itself is any less strange than that, but still left me waiting on a sweet mech fight.

Thanks man. I honestly appreciate it ^^ I don't think I ever would have noticed that. I've been eagerly latching onto whatever hype I can get in Boruto OPs, especially because I've personally found nothing but disappointment in the series. It never would have striked me that way lol

My head is aching at this point. It seems many people must be actually disappointed in their shallow understanding of art and symbolism and the inability to look behind (IN THIS CASE EVEN DIRECTLY AT) the picture. Just... terrible headache...

It does reflect almost everyone going mad during the series. Also reflects the name. I fail to see how this is misleading. Unless... you were making a joke. You better be.

If you were to consider the viewers' age, you can't expect everyone to look at it that way like the adult audiences.

Yet now you seem to have matured enough to be able to perceive deeper layers of what you see. Hopefully it is clear now that it is not misleading per fact, but was misleading to you due to your youth.

Or the opening for Divine Gate, because it made me expect the anime to be actually good.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Are you sure the this is the "misleading" opening this thread is concerned with? To me it seems actually clarifying the severity of the events through updating the opening, which is always a welcome detail.
