Anime is a goldmine for stuff like that.

Gakkou Gurashi, a typical slice of life anime about quirky school girls in a "survival club"! Spoilers Truly notable because they kept that twist on lockdown until the end of the first episode. even the promotional stuff was completely innocuous unless you'd seen the (really obscure) comic before that.

Bokurano, a group of elementary and middle school aged kids agree to pilot a giant robot in a game, aided by a wacky mascot character. Spoilers

Madoka Magica, middle school kids agree to become Magical Girls like out of Sailor Moon! Spoilers
