1* HarsherInHindsight:
2** The MST has a joke wherein Ami interprets Daria's descriptions of Trent to mean he's like Creator/KevinSpacey and fails to see why Daria is still not willing to commit to a relationship because of that. Given that Spacey's career was eventually torpedoed by sexual misconduct accusations, Ami ends up looking worse in that gag.
3** The story's plot of a terrorist essentially using a passenger jet as a missile to destroy a prominent target was plausible in 1998 when the story was first written, but also fictional. The riffing was originally released in 2000, when the same standard applied (hence numerous jokes and skits about it). Post-9/11, the subject matter is downright horrifying, and in the 2010 updated re-release, Guerin added a disclaimer re-iterating that he had written the story well before the attacks.
4** Amazana Yoriko being a Japanese Nazi was once considered just another one of the fic's weird quirks. Fast-forward to increased awareness of fascist and nationalist sentiment in Japan...
5* HilariousInHindsight: Akbar yells "[[BigShutUp SILENCE!]]" at one point. This was just random dialogue in 1998, but nowadays, an Islamic terrorist yelling "SILENCE!" instantly causes most people to mentally add [[Creator/JeffDunham "I KEEL YOU!"]]
6* OlderThanTheyThink: While admittedly a fairly silly idea, a Japanese woman being a Nazi was previously used as a plot in ''Series/TokkyuuShireiSolbrain''. And if anything, it was even more insane than this story (in that she’s being influenced by an evil painting).
7* {{Padding}}:
8** For some reason, the story spends a significant amount of time on Akbar doing things like ordering his rental car and ordering his plane ticket to UsefulNotes/{{Berlin}}.
9** The story tends to spend a few paragraphs on everyone calling out their transformation phrases, though this is technically using the transformation sequences the same way the actual show does.
10** Much of the build-up to the Lawndale Militia taking over the town contributes very little to the story, and simply creates plot holes (Corlew states that America’s inefficiency has been proven by [[InsaneTrollLogic a Japanese plane being hijacked by Middle Eastern terrorists]] in one scene).
11* SoBadItsGood: It's amusingly ridiculous in a late '90s way, that's for sure.
12* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The nature of its terrorist plot aside, it's hard to imagine this sort of crossover being written after the late '90s, when the ''Daria'' fandom was more active and visible.
13* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic:
14** Gen. Torymura is meant to be seen as a good man for taking in [[spoiler:his niece]] Makoto following their reunion. However, it's never explained why he didn’t adopt her sooner, making him come off as neglectful to some readers.
15** To non-fans, the ''WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}'' characters come off as pretty unlikeable due to {{Flanderization}} bringing out all of their worst aspects. This makes the Lawndale Militia taking over seem more cathartic than horrific.
