History YMMV / PuellaMagiTartMagica

* MoralEventHorizon: See [[MoralEventHorizon/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica here]].

* HilariousInHindsight: The GiantEnemyCrab Witch that Tart and Riz fight at the beginning of volume 2 becomes this when one remembers Creator/{{Sony}}'s E3 2006 conference and how they showcased ''[[VideoGame/{{Genji}} Genji: Days of the Blade]]'' to be "[[BlatantLies based on actual historical facts about Japan]]", which featured the titular [[TropeNamer Giant Enemy Crab]] in the gameplay footage. The irony of one showing up during UsefulNotes/TheHundredYearsWar in France hasn't gone unnoticed by some fans.

* MoralEventHorizon:
** Minou crosses it by [[spoiler: [[KinslayingIsASpecialKindOfEvil murdering her own sister Corbeau]] after the latter says that [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes she loves her sisters]], even going as far to cover up her involvement in Corbeau's death from Lapin and frame Tart and friends for it]].
** The franchise's witches tend to have [[BlueAndOrangeMorality bizarre]] and [[WellIntentionedExtremist even benevolent]] motivations, and [[spoiler:are even forced to MercyKill humans to spare them from the FateWorseThanDeath of being enslaved to the Incubators]]. And then there's [[spoiler:Isabeau de Bavière, a Witch-Incubator hybrid whose purpose is to annihilate France, an entire country, and actually came into existence thanks to the {{greed}}y desire of her magical girl - a.k.a. "[[RedBaron The Woman Who Sold Her Country]]" - to invade France]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation:
** Kyubey [[spoiler: decides not to try to manipulate Jeanne into turning into a witch despite the massive amount of energy she'd release because he feels "gratitude" towards her for stopping Isabeau]]. [[PetTheDog This is a bit strange]] given Kyubey normally claims to be incapable of feeling emotion and only exists to get energy by any means necessary. There are hints that Cube (this story's alternation of Kyubey) was [[spoiler:one of those 'mentally ill' Incubators that [[HumanityIsInfectious caught the 'illness' of emotion from his prolonged exposure to Isabeau's power thirst]], which [[NotSoStoic brought fear into his heart]] because her madness was ''that'' deep]].
** Just what is the opinion of Charles VII regarding Tart when looking at her execution? Does he genuinely think that she's a real saint, or does he only use her as a means to bring down his mother and readily abandon her when she has fulfilled her purpose (Gilles seems to think so)? Does he think of her as a saint, and it was simply his chamberlain's manipulation and his own mental breakdown caused him to abandon Tart, or does he think that ransoming her would make him lose face out of his hatred for the English? The way it is portrayed also opens the possibility that the cause of his son Louise XI’s fervent rebellion against him in his adult years is because Louise adored Tart and blamed Charles for giving up on her.

*** Minou's love of Isabeau [[ParentalIncest is very much not]] a [[TheFourLoves storge]] kind of love, given that [[spoiler:she kills her own sister Corbeau because she thinks Corbeau doesn't love Isabeau as much as she loves Minou]].

** Kyubey [[spoiler: decides not to try to manipulate Jeanne into turning into a witch despite the massive amount of energy she'd release because he feels "gratitude" towards her for stopping Isabeau]]. [[PetTheDog This is a bit strange]] given Kyubey normally claims to be incapable of feeling emotion and only exists to get energy by any means necessary.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: Tart randomly starts {{Glomp}}ing people when drunk.

*** Corbeau in particular seems to like seducing servant girls too much.

** Kyubey [[spoiler: decides not to try to manipulate Jeanne into turning into a witch despite the massive amount of energy she'd release because he feels "gratitude" towards her for stopping Isabeau.]] This is a bit strange given Kyubey normally says he is incapable of feeling emotion and only exists to get energy by any means necessary.

** Just what is the opinion of Charles VII regarding Tart when looking at her execution? Is he genuinely think that she's a real saint, or does he only uses her as a mean to bring down his mother and readily abandons her when she has fulfilled her purpose (Gilles seems to think so)? Is he does think of her as a saint but his chamberlain's manipulation and his own mental breakdown causes him to abandon Tart, or whether he thinks that ransoming her would make him loses face out of his hatred for the English?

* AntiClimaxBoss: Queen Isabeau 'the Woman who Sold Her Country' comes across as this when she's finally fought. [[spoiler:The entire storyline she's pictured as TheDreaded who sends Charles VII into a mental breakdown simply by showing her face in front of him and wreaks the heroes' entire line-up in one encounter, one of those rare humans who outsmarted the Incubator into giving her a power that causes chaos in the Incubators' system, and was ambitious enough to TakeOverTheWorld with said power. But because of various circumstances, she ends up as the same kind of brain-dead gigantic witches like [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Walpurgisnacht]] and [[Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica Hyades]] whose only serve as a giant boss enemy with none of her intelligence remaining]].

** Melissa's Soul Gem is a heraldic shield with a grape cluster detail on it, which is a simplified version of her father's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Hire#/media/File:Blason_Etienne_de_Vignolles_(La_Hire).svg coat of arm]].

** England's magical girls. Especially their lengthy bath scene. [[{{Squick}} And then you remember they're sisters...]]

*** Minou's love to Isabeau is very much not a storge kind of love, [[spoiler:given that she kills her own sister Corbeau because she thinks Corbeau doesn't love Isabeau as much as she loves Minou]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Kyubey [[spoiler: decides not to try to manipulate Jeanne into turning into a witch despite the massive amount of energy she'd release because he feels "gratitude" towards her for stopping Isabeau.]] This is a bit strange given Kyubey normally says he is incapable of feeling emotion and only exists to get energy by any means necessary.

* LesYay: It's a ''PMMM'' story; it's pretty much a given. In particular, most of Riz and Jeanne's interactions are full of this.
