Title pretty much says it all. You know those openings that put images up that give away parts of what will happen later in the series that kind of ruin the surprise and shock of it when it actually happens. For example: the opening for Chaos;Head has a bit where it shows all the characters with their Di-Swords, so you pretty much know from the very start of the series who will get one. This really ruined the surprise of two of the characters getting them, when it would been a major twist, but ended up making it just an "Oh so they finally get it" moment.

So does anyone else know of other openings or even closings that are like this?

Yea, there are several that come to mind, but the person viewing it for the first time wont recognize it and it will be more of a foreshadowing.

It's a nice treat to those who have finished that series and then go "OHH YEAA SO THAT'S WHY", etc.

The opening of Sailor Moon S, while good, spoil how Uranus and Neptune looks.
Somewhat of a spoiler I guess, but warning just in case: In the first few episodes of the season, we see two silhouettes of supposed sailor scouts, having a dark shadow casted over them so you can't see how they look. The opening spoils it since it shows Uranus and Neptune in it, thus ruining the surprise when you finally get to see them, because you've been already seeing how they look every episode if you watched the opening!
Very minor one, I know, but it did kill the shock when you learned who they are.

There was that one opening in R2 that showed Jeremiah before he showed up again.

The Second Opening to the Valkyria Chronicles anime trumps them all by giving away what's essentially the biggest plot twist of the series:
Spoiler: show
That being Alicia is also a Valkyria.
