History YMMV / HellboyAnimated

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: The animated films are in no way child-friendly, and, in some ways, are actually much DarkerAndEdgier than even the live-action films.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Pretty much any scene between Hellboy and Professor Bruttenholm in ''Blood and Iron''. The father/son bond between the two of them is clear as day.
-->'''Professor Bruttenholm:''' (''fondly'') You grew so fast, at first. In no time at all, you were too big to spank.
-->'''Hellboy:''' (''smirks'') Only 'cause the tail got in the way.
** [[spoiler: Bruttenholm giving the now elderly Father Lupescu a chance to redeem himself for his failing faith years ago. When he gives our heroes the information they need, Bruttenholm gives him the cross he left behind in Erzsebet's castle years ago. The former priest is moved to tears.]]

* NightmareFuel:
** To anyone with arachnophobia, the scene where HB encounters the Jorōgumo in ''Sword of Storms''. So. Many. '''''SPIDERS!''''' ''*shudder*''
** The fate of Erzsebet's victims, including those that went with Bruttenholm when she was first killed. The women she killed to maintain her beauty are bound to the implements of torture and thus are forced to wander the mansion, begging for help. Meanwhile, [[ForegoneConclusion the flashbacks leading up to Erzebet's first death]] are presented in reverse so that the fates of the characters, which are particularly gruesome, are already known.

* CompleteMonster: [[SerialKiller Erzsebet Ondrushko]] from ''Blood and Iron'' is an [[AristocratsAreEvil evil countess]] based on the infamous UsefulNotes/ElizabethBathory. Consumed by her vanity and wishing to [[ImmortalityImmorality stay young and beautiful forever]], Ondrushko sold her soul to Hecate, the Greek Goddess of Witches. In exchange for her soul, Hecate transforms Ondrushko into [[OurVampiresAreDifferent a vampire]] and gave her the power to rejuvenate her body if she [[BloodBath bathes in the blood of young women]]. Ondrushko is said to have murdered over a thousand people in her quest to remain young. Through a series of flashbacks, we see Ondrushko take over a dress shop, by murdering the shop owner and her [[WouldHurtAChild infant child]], to lure in and kidnap a young girl named Anna. Anna's fiance gathers a rescue party, including a young Professor Broom, to rescue her. They go to Ondrushko's castle, which is filled with torture devices and the bodies of young women, and find Anna drained of blood, and so [[MercyKill they kill her to prevent her from becoming a vampire as well]]. Ondrushko kills most of the rescue party, but Bloom manages to kill her. Though her body died, her evil spirit remained. Sixty years later, the BPRD is sent to investigate a supposed haunted mansion, which is in fact haunted by the souls of Ondrushko's many victims. Ondrushko's minions resurrect her and she bathes in the blood in the mansion's owner to rejuvenate herself.

* CompleteMonster: Erzsebet Ondrushko [[AristocratsAreEvil (an evil countess]] [[{{Expy}} based on the very infamous Elizabeth Bathory)]] from ''Blood and Iron'' is definitely this--[[{{Pride}} consumed by her vanity]], she sold her soul to [[GodOfEvil Hecate, the Greek Goddess of witchcraft,]] [[ImmortalityImmorality in order to remain eternally]] [[IJustWantToBeBeautiful young and beautiful.]] As a result of this, Hecate turned Ondrushko into a vampire and gave her the power rejuvenate her body if she [[BloodBath bathed in the blood of her victims]]--and in her quest to do that, Ondrushko is said to have murdered over a thousand people. And through a series of flashbacks (shown in reverse chronological order), we see that:

--> 1.) Ondrushko took over a dress shop in a small Transylvanian village (by murdering the shop owner ''and'' [[WouldHurtAChild her infant child]]) and then lured a young bride-to-be named Anna before kidnapping her.
--> 2.) Anna's fiancé gathers a rescue party, with one of the men being a young Professor Bruttenholm, to rescue her--they go to Ondrushko's castle, which is filled with numerous torture devices and the bodies of some of Ondrushko's victims. While the rescue party does manage to find Anna, she's already been drained of all her blood [[MercyKill and her fiancé is ultimately forced to put a stake through her heart in order to prevent her from coming back from as a vampire.]]
--> 3.) Ondrushko ultimately kills the entire rescue party except for Bruttenholm, who manages to defeat her (for the time being) by tossing some holy water in her face (which he was cleverly carrying around in a hip flask). Though her body died, her evil spirit remained.
--> 4.) Sixty years later, the BPRD is sent to investigate a supposed haunted mansion, which is in fact haunted by the souls of Ondrushko's many victims. Ondrushko's minions resurrect her and she bathes in the blood in the mansion's owner to rejuvenate herself.

* ValuesDissonance: Many Western viewers don't understand why the Samurai's actions in ''Sword of Storms'' shamed his Daimyo. A brave hero who rescues a fair maiden from evil demons and spares his liege lord the horrible choice between sacrifice and destruction is the foundation of European Legends and Fairy Tales. Such deeds usually earns the hero a reward- the maid's hand in marriage or a lordship of his own, not being turned into a statue and his love murdered by her father.
