History YMMV / Karneval

* WhatTheHellCastingAgency: A lot of people were polarized when Creator/GregAyres was selected to voice Gareki in the English dub, with the detractors saying that it doesn't sound right at all compared to the [[Creator/HiroshiKamiya Japanese performance]].

* {{Moe}}: Nai.

** Hirato with Akari. Hirato tries to woo/tease Akari with every chance he get.

* NightmareFuel: [[http://www.mangahere.com/manga/karneval/v10/c075/4.html OH GOOD GOD!]]

* EarWorm: The anime adaptions ending theme, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGVf9rZpGx8 "Reason"]]

** Much like Hinoe from ''NatsumeYuujinchou'', Eva dislikes men and prefers the cute softness of girls, like Tsukumo.

** [[spoiler: Yogi's past, being the only survivor of Kafka's annihilation of Rimhakka. As a ten-year-old he witnesses his caretaker's being decapitated by varuga. He is then captured and experimented on together with the rest of the nation, but was the only one to make it through alive due to his royal genes (as the nation's prince). He finds himself in an unknown place, strapped to a surgery table, with scientists screaming and cheering around him as he is forced to watch a video where his little sister, Miumarie (who was his dearest person), is literary torn to shreds along with his home and Rimahakka's citizens. All while she was pleading for him to help her. The poor child understandably snaps and loses control over his powers, slaughtering the scientists. He is then found a few days later by Hirato and is brought to Circus, where he is ''once again'' experimented on and kept locked inside Akari's lab for an unknown amount of time. The event traumatized him so badly that he developed a SplitPersonality as well as giving him a TraumaInducedAmnesia]]

* TearJerker: [[spoiler:After Yotaka is killed in front of her eyes, Tsubame breaks down and loses the will to live, begging Yogi to kill her too as she cannot stand to be alone. She then offers herself to Circus as a test subject, knowing she will have to undergo horrific experiments and a great deal of pain. She then visits her dying grandfather to say goodbye, and realizes that Gareki was stealing to pay for his medicine all this time... BUWAAAAAAAAH!]]

** Gareki frequently blushes when ever Nai pouts or gives one of those Puppy dog eyes moments. He is also fiercely protective of the innocent Nai from the elements and villains of the cruel and evil world.

* HoYay - As with [[Manga/{{Loveless}} many]] [[Manga/{{Saiyuki}} manga]] serialized in [=ZeroSum=], ''Karneval'' has ample hints of HoYay, from Gareki's looking after Nai all the time (Nai's innocence particularly affects him), to Yogi's perceived friendship with Gareki (thinking of him as cute because of the deredere side of Gareki's {{Tsundere}} characteristics), to Hirato and Akari's FoeYay, to Yogi's attempts to gain Hirato's praise...

** Much like Hinoe from ''NatsumeYuujinchou'', Eva dislikes men and prefers the cute softness of girls, like Tsukumo.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: The news that an anime adaptation was in the works caused mass celebration throughout the fandom.

* FoeYay - Akari and Hirato's relationship, though mostly one-sided and amusing when they're not being serious.

* LesYay - Much like Hinoe from ''NatsumeYuujinchou'', Eva dislikes men and prefers the cute softness of girls, like Tsukumo.
