YMMV / Blood Raining Night

Go To

  • Accidental Innuendo:
    • Chapter 13 has this: "WOW, what's in this?! Whenever I suck on it I get these squishy balls in my throat. I nearly chocked!"
    • From the fanime's first opening, there's "Ahh ni kum kum".
  • Alternative Character Interpretation: How evil is Reicheru's father really? He's treated as Reicheru's mortal enemy, and while he does do some questionable things to his daughter (calling her a bitch, threatening to kill her, watching her have sex with her boyfriend Denmark), for the most part he seems like a fairly decent guy who wants to reconcile with his daughter. Most of his supposed villainy is told to us by either the narrative or Reicheru, and it's his engagement to Lucy that ultimately drives Reicheru into hysterics and makes her even more desperate to ruin his life. Not to mention, we eventually find out that Reicheru was the one who killed her own mother, and we're supposed to blame her father for not being so forgiving.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
    • Reicheru's Slut-Shaming of Lucy counts as this since we never see Lucy involved with anyone other than Goku and the two characters she's allegedly been having sex with (Germany and Bolin) don't actually do anything in the story.
    • Lucy's bloodbending abortion of Reicheru's baby also counts, since it's never brought up again and the rest of the story acts like it never even happened.
  • Bile Fascination: This is basically an anime-themed equivalent version of My Immortal.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Sensei Hanayubi is considered one of the best characters by both fans and non-fans for his personality and for being completely oblivious to all the suggestive situations he ends up in with his students.
    • In terms of how the fic portrays canon characters, Alucard is well-liked for his hilarious dialogue and for having some of the better voice acting in the Fanime.
  • Fan Nickname: Reicheru is sometimes called Raichu due to how similar the names sound.
  • Fetish Retardant: Assuming this is not a Troll Fic, the sex scenes are described in a completely unappealing manner, as if they were intended to be shocking rather than titillating. And the crude animation of the fanime version doesn't do any favors to the "fan service" moments.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • Reicheru's father turning out to be an evil Goku becomes even funnier when you realize that just a few years down the line such a character would be canon the actual series. This is made all the more hilarious as the story keeps referring to back as black, ironically putting a new meaning to the phrase "now that he was black (sic)" given that Black is the in-universe nickname that said character was given in the series.
    • The whole idea of Inuyasha leaving Kagome for Reicheru and having a child with her becomes this after the release of Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon, which features Inuyasha and Kagome's daughter as a main character. Let's hope Moroha and Tenshikuzu never find out about each other...
  • Jerkass Woobie:
    • Assuming this isn't a Troll Fic, Reicheru could come off as one seeing how her mother died when she was young and her father abused her as a child, yet many of her problems were caused by her own actions including the death of her mother. However, many people find her to be way too much of a Jerkass to be sympathetic.
    • Lucy is a more straightforward example. In addition to her canon backstory, Reicheru makes her life a living hell, up to and including humiliating her at her own wedding for seemingly no good reason.
  • Narm:
    • Good god, this fanfic is full of it. One prominent example would be Lucy giving Reicheru an "aborition" via bloodbending. It's supposed to be a tragic, horrifying moment, but the poor spelling and grammar, the Purple Prose that follows, and the fact that not only is Reicheru's miscarriage never brought up again, just two chapters later she's pregnant again with no explanation why makes it cringey and/or hilarious.
    • The entire Fanime can count as well. A lot of the more dramatic moments are ruined by the poor animation, very Off-Model characters, and awkward voice acting.
    • In Chapter 11, Reicheru has a flashback of her father beating her. What should've been a Tear Jerker becomes unintentionally hilarious with this line:
      "'You stupid asshole,' he wa shitting her intensly onto the floor."
  • Poe's Law: Some believe the story is a Troll Fic, others think the fanfic is genuine.
  • Squick:
    • Reicheru's father watching her and Denmark having sex.
    • Korra raping Kagome with a rock "didlo."
    • The entire sex scene between Sesshomaru and Korra is a mix of this, Narm, and Crosses the Line Twice.
    • Plenty of Sensei Hanayubi's interactions with his students can count as this. Even if he is completely oblivious, it still comes off as incredibly creepy.
  • Strawman Has a Point: Lucy has every right to call out Reicheru for bullying her, and she's not exactly incorrect when she calls Reicheru a whore. And yet the audience is supposed to root for Reicheru.
  • Unintentionally Sympathetic: The author clearly intended for Lucy to be a bitch and a half, but to most readers many of the things she does are mild compared to the ways Reicheru gets revenge for those actions, such as Reicheru pulling off Lucy's horns in response to being called a bitch. It doesn't help that Lucy has no friends because "she's retarded and has brain damage and nobody likes her", in the offensive words of the story.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Reicheru is supposedly meant to be an Anti-Hero Jerkass Woobie, but many readers found her too much of a Jerkass to feel sorry for her. Reicheru commits some pretty heinous actions throughout the story including her aforementioned bullying of Lucy, cheating on Denmark with Inuyasha, attempting to kill Kagome, selling out her friend to Alucard, and neglecting her own daughter. She supposedly repents via a Gorn-filled ritual where she loses her arms and eyes, but she doesn't change much afterwards and many readers didn't buy it.
  • The Woobie:
    • Poor Kagome gets kidnapped by Sesshomaru, tortured, turned into a vampire, raped, and later run over by Reicheru and shot to death by Alucard. All while this is happening, her friends and even her lover are too busy kissing Reicheru's ass to even try to help save her. Even Kagome's haters will want to give her a hug after reading everything she's put through.
    • Minna-chan also counts. She gets dragged into all of Reicheru's problems and drama, gets amnesia while watching Pokémon: The Series and is humiliated in class for it, gets sold out by Reicheru and forced to go on a date with Alucard, and may or may not have been molested by Sensei Hanayubi. Poor girl could use a hug.
