History YMMV / HanaNoKoLunlun

** For English-speaking fans, the disco-heavy ZIV version. ‘’’”Hi little angel, I’m glad that you’re around...”’’’

* IAmNotShazam. Her name is Lunlun, not Hana. Hana means ''flowers'' in Japanese. An easy mistake to make if you're not fluent in Japanese tho, since Hana is a common Japanese girl's name.

** Being part of a wave of western cartoons and anime imported into TheNewRussia in the 90s, "Lulu, the Angel of Flowers" holds a special place in the hearts of Russia's current generation.

* EarWorm: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVgpzkAxXoc The opening song]]. Being a Creator/MitsukoHorie song, this is pretty much a given.

* [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff French Love Lunlun]]: The show was quite successful in France under the name "Lydie's World Tour."
** Latin-Americans also love "Angel the Girl of the Flowers".

** In the Latin-American dub, the emotional moment in which [[spoiler: the blind HeartwarmingOrphan Lucero tries to disuade her friends from using the WorldWarTwo bomb as a "hostage" to get her medical attention]] becomes horribly hilarious once you notice that the dub VA is either a ''male'' trying to voice a little girl, or a very deep-voiced woman trying to do likewise. Either way, the VocalDissonance hits HARD and makes what was supposed to be a TearJerker completely ''ridiculous''.

* TearJerker: It's a shoujo from TheSeventies, so emotional rollercoasters are expected. Some episodes take the cake, though, and while sometimes it goes into {{Narm}} territory, others work beautifully. Like the one in Sicilia in which [[spoiler: ex-PunchClockVillain and actual justice fugitive Dario finds himself in a dilemma, since his criminal signature is his skill in lockpicking and using it to save Lunlun [[LockedInAFreezer (who's trapped in an airtight bank vault)]] would get him caught ''right'' before the state of limitations kicks in at midnight. Ultimately, he saves her... and once he's done he offers to turn himself in, but his InspectorJavert lets him go saying that his debt with society is paid already -- adding that ''it's five minutes into midnight'' so he can't be prosecuted anymore.]] For a series that sometimes comes in as cheesy and overemotional, that episode was wonderfully done.
** IronWoobie: Lunlun. Yeah, her trials bring her lotsa problems and she has her doubts and breakdowns, but she ultimately keeps going no matter what.
** JerkAssWoobie: Isabel from the Spain arc. She [[spoiler:lied to Lunlun and almost got her trapped in a cave hopelessly]] but she did it less out of utter malice [[PleaseDontLeaveMe and more in despair since she had been alone and friendless for years]]. [[spoiler: And it's not like she ''intended'' to ge Lunlun lost in the cave, either.]]
** StoicWoobie: Sayid, the Moroccan boy Lunlun befriends in England, who almost never smiles and is harsh to those he doesn't know but is ultimately a young boy [[ComingOfAgeStory looking for his place in the world]]. (And ultimately shows some more emotions when [[spoiler: he returns to his hometown [[TearJerker and finds his old house abandoned]], meaning that his parents ''died'' when he was in England.]]) His grandpa Sharo is more of an IronWoobie, as he's more cheerful than his grandson and [[spoiler: ultimately sacrifices his chance to return to his beloved Morocco with Sayid, asking Lunlun to take his place and help the kid. She does.]]

* TastesLikeDiabetes: The opening theme, oh so much. People who've never seen the show before will assume that they're in for {{kodomomuke}} fare until the episode starts.

*** Made even worse by how [[spoiler: Walter's "boss" tries to kill Lunlun so she won't be a SpannerInTheWorks. He ties her up and leaves her in... a HUGE DrowningPit. [[WhatAnIdiot Which is VERY easy to find in the end]].]] Come ON, this isn't ''ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop''!

* WorldOfWoobie: Ther are many, MANY {{woobie}}s. Of all places in Europe. [[spoiler: Walter]], [[spoiler: Alitta]], [[spoiler: Dario]] and the kids of the Italian OrphanageOfLove come as the biggest ones.

** Lunlun's [[spoiler: argument to prove that Walter is a good person compared to his fellow criminals ([[AntiVillain which he]] ''[[AntiVillain is]]'', but only Lunlun and the audience know it)]] is basically reduced to [[spoiler: "I lost my mom and so did he! his paintings reflect that! How could he be a bad person, waaaaaah!"]] Lunlun, sweetie, we know you're trying to help, but ''please'' stick to being a MessianicArchetype [[StopHelpingMe and not try to play lawyer]], okay?

* EarWorm: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVgpzkAxXoc The opening song]]. Being a MitsukoHorie song, this is pretty much a given.

* MoodWhiplash: Take a look at the Opening theme. Between the sweet, TasteLikeDiabetes music and cutesy animation, you won't know you're headed for dark and edgy land unless you have watched an episode before.

* FridgeBrilliance: Why did Lunlun [[spoiler: buy Sophia's claims about being a CuteGhostGirl]] so ridiculously easily, and why was she so hurt when it turned out it was a lie? Lunlun ''has'' been travelling with two talking animals for several months already, and lotsa supernatural things have went on: a claim that sounds really stupid for us watchers is '''NOT''' that farfetched from her POV. And as for being almost BSOD'ing when [[spoiler: Sophia turned out to be a human girl]], hey, [[spoiler: Sophia]] unknowingly pressed one of Lunlun's biggest {{Berserk Button}}: trusting someone, only for them to being a liar.

She [[spoiler:lied to Lunlun and almost got her trapped in a cave hopelessly]] but she did it less out of utter malice and more in despair since she had been alone and friendless for years.
