History YMMV / Sankarea

** In a later chapter, Ranko, desperate to get Chihiro's attention, steals a bottle of potion from Darin's belongings and swallows it right in front of him. To Chihiro's panic, she falls unconcious, sleeps for a while... and awakens completely human. [[spoiler:It actually was just a bottle of harmless sleeping pills Darin was keeping in an old zombie potion bottle, and she was too lazy to change the label on it.]]

%%% How so?
%%%* AssPull: the manga's ending

* AssPull: How the manga's ending is regarded by a good part of the fanbase.

* TheScrappy: Danichiro, due to his incredibly uncomfortable and abusive behavior towards Rea, his utter neglect of his second wife (which has turned her into a drunken jerk), and just being a creepy asshole in general. This was probably intentional though, given that he's pushing his daughter to suicide and is too delusional to notice; the whole fanbase despises him.

This was probably intentional though, given that he's pushing his daughter to suicide and is too delusional to notice.

* NightmareFuel: Rea's father Dan'ichiro. His overprotective, abusive and just skin-crawlingly creepy treatment of his daughter has a borderline incestuous undertone to it, and he's too self-absorbed and delusional to realize the damage he's doing to her and the people around them because of it.

* AccidentalInnuendo: Chapter 6 gives the reader "Please treat my body carefully from now on... Furuya-kun."

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Zombies? Scary and Disgusting. A {{moe}} zombie girl? Cute and totally huggable~!

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: In episode 8, men sent by Rea's dad try to capture her and bring her back while Chihiro is away. As he comes back, he is alerted by her scream, runs to save her... and finds her [[DamselOutOfDistress beating up her abductors-wannabe with a bench]]. [[BadassUnintentional While still screaming in panic]].
-->'''Rea''' (crying against Chihiro's chest): Thank you for saving me!\\

** It doesn't help that he's fired anybody who he deems remotely threatening to his daughter (or his ability to take nude photos of her). Or that his creepy, overprotective nature is what drove Rea to suicide anyway. [[spoiler: Or that he attempted to kill a high school student out of pure jealousy.]] Sad history or not, he is a {{Jerkass}} for sure.

** In a later chapter, Wanko, desperate to get Chihiro's attention, steals a bottle of potion from Darin's belongings and swallows it right in front of him. To Chihiro's panic, she falls unconcious, sleeps for a while... and awakens completely human. [[spoiler:It actually was just a bottle of harmless sleeping pills Darin was keeping in an old zombie potion bottle, and she was too lazy to change the label on it.]]

* TheWoobie: Rea. Come on, can't you feel sorry for the girl for having such sucky parents? [[spoiler: Especially having a strict dad forces her to be ''perfect'', take nude pictures of her on her birthday to ''ensure her beauty'', and isolate her from the normal schoolgirl lifestyle.]]

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Rea's dad seems to be portrayed as a JerkassWoobie, where it's explained how he was very much in love with Rea's mother. He doesn't want to see Rea to go but given his very disturbing interest in her, it's difficult to get past that.

* EarWorm: The opening of the anime, like a cute zombie girl, simply refuses to die once it burrows into your heart.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: In episode 8, men sent by Rea's dad try to capture her and bring her back while Chihiro is away. As he comes back, he is alerted by her scream, runs to save her... and finds her [[DamselOutOfDistress beating up her abductors-wannabe with a bench]].

** In the manga, the ending. [[spoiler:Rea having eaten Chihiro's heart, almost killing him before he received an artificial one]]? Disturbing and nightmarish. [[spoiler:Her ''jokingly thanking him for the meal at the end''?]] Actually quite funny and kinda cute.
