These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Complete Monster Debonair. Not only she was born as the incarnation of Cephiro's collective bad feelings and acted as such, she almost mind rape Hikaru when she was at most vulnerable and tried to kill her own "daughter" Nova when she had no more use for her.
Combining Mecha: Selece+Windam+Rayearth = Great Rayearth / Big Rayearth
Draco in Leather Pants: Zagato wasn't a bad guy per se, but he still wanted to end the world for the sake of the one he loved and was very cruel to Alcyone, who greatly loved him
Germans Love David Hasselhoff (Or should we say, Latin Americans Love Guerreras Mágicas.[Not without reason, it aired in between the 6th or 7th rerun of Caballeros del Zodiaco, Dragon Ball hadn't hit yet; Ranma 1/2 was silly, Slam Dunk was on a chaotic rotation and Escaflowne took ages to get anywhere, B'T X also had a hectic airing; Rayearth was comparatively a well balanced, well written, both genders appealing soap opera with action and adventure. the tune was catchy too, and it was one of the first anime series to air with its intro mostly intact since since Mazinger freaking Z)
Not exactly: during the manga's release there was a Honda motorcycle called the Innova (actually it was the Honda Wave in Japan, but it was marketed in Europe as the Innova).
Also, Eagle and Geo Metro. But Eagle isthat pretty.
Averted in the Spanish dub, where Eagle is depicted as female. And hilariously, while they tried to avert Ho Yay, that dub actually created Les Yay between girl!Eagle and Hikaru.. Oops?
Not to mention Presea's attention to Hikaru early on, and Hikaru's practically drooling over Fuu for at first. CLAMP is well known for this, though.
Moral Event Horizon: Alcyone was crazy and probably psychotic, not to mention dragging herself on the ground because of the wounds Umi inflicted on her, but did she really deserve for Zagato to leave her to die without trying to save her?
Let's not forget Debonair abandoning and then trying to kill the local Jerk Ass Woobie, Nova, who can be considered as her daughter. And then killing Eagle and Alcyone.
Nightmare Face: Vigor (one of Ascot's monsters that can take on a cuter, smaller form) gets a very creepy face when he starts turning back into a monster, with his eyes glowing, his head slowly tilting, and his fur all wild.
No Name Given: Big Rayearth and Great Rayearth are names given by fans, the author never named the combination of Rune Gods
Only Sane Man : Zagato was the only one who questioned the Pillar system. Everyone else just went along with it.
Alternate Character Interpretation: Eagle has gone from trying to save his country to being willing to destroy Earth to save Cephiro. He's also Emeraude's brother instead of Ferio. Hikaru has gone from a GenkiPlucky Girl from a kendo family to a particularly Broken Cutie in the gymnastics club.
Fictional Counterpart: Sabway referring to the Subway restaurant. Toyo Dome referring at Tokyo Dome City a Stadium widely used by Toei Company.
Nightmare Fuel: Emeraude pines for and throws herself at the feet of a dead Zagato, who still sits on his throne. Emeraude's castle is filled with the dead souls of Cephiro, who scream and lash at anything living. Zagato sacrifices himself in order to save the land- yup, the suicide by sword (possibly seppuku) is shown on screen. Also, Lantis sacrifices himself in a different way- but he dies anyway. Several other characters die- including a teenage one. At the end, Emeraude is left without the one she loves.. To say this OVA is nightmare fuel unleaded is an understatement.
