YMMV / Pretty Blood

• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Cann, the peach-colored cat Malino from the first episode, getting drowned to death in "Dream Terror". It shows up out of nowhere and has nothing to with the actual plot, and was probably only added in for the sake of shock value.

• Creepy Awesome: Sadny Bin is one terrifying force of good in this crapsack world.

• Draco in Leather Pants: Despite going as far as to kill her own child, get another child's parents killed, and turn Elma into a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, some people in the fandom treat Rinny as if she did nothing wrong.

• Older Than They Think: Apparently, "The Starter" was the first episode of the series to be produced, which explains the weird animation and the audio being a little choppy. This also might imply that the Pretty Blood series was possibly going to take a different turn, and Rinny's character might've been created later.

• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The series suffers this fate from fans who became sick of the constant Shoot the Shaggy Dog endings, as well as people who believe that the series in general has no substance and was made for purely fetishistic reasons.

• Unintentionally Unsympathetic: Copper's pacifist attitude is unbelievable. Why wouldn't you want to kill Rinny, of all people? Also, after Rinny fatally shot Luny with an arrow, Bloon and Carl had to lie to Elma so she doesn't go batshit any further. However, it still happens anyways, thanks to Copper stupidly telling the harsh truth.

• Viewer Gender Confusion: Carl is traditionally a masculine name, and the lack of voice acting has lead most people to automatically assume Carl is a boy.

• The Woobie: All of the victims of Pretty Blood count as this, but especially Elma.
  • The unnamed blue bear Malino begging Gummy to Mercy Kill himself at the end of "Necro Worm".
