* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: When the family moves to Newcord, the narration mentions that Amy goes to school, while Beth is too shy, implying that she went to school previously, though not often. The first episode narration never does say Beth is shy, only stating she is "sweet and kind" and the only reason she didn't go to school too much previously was due to illness. Her shyness seems to appear after the battle that destroyed their hometown and house, thus implying that [[BreakTheCutie Beth is traumatized by the battle in some way]]. Not helped by the fact that Jo says Beth had is suffering ''nightmares'' while they were staying with Aunt March.

* {{TearJerker}}: Some of the emotional scenes in this anime can get quite intense.
** Jo's self-loathing regarding her ill-treatment of Amy after the novel-burning incident. She realizes she would have been responsible if Amy had drowned after falling through the ice, and she's so angry at herself that she pounds angrily on her desk, injuring her hand in the process, before asking Marmee for help.
** The scene where Beth runs home in tears after the Hummels' baby dies, especially given that the tears are preceded by a few seconds of more or less dead silence as Beth makes her way home until she's apparently hit by the enormity of what has just happened. Naturally, the English version blunts the emotional impact by adding narration from Amy.

* MostAnnoyingSound: Arguably [[Creator/RebeccaForstadt Reba West]] as Amy March to some people who aren't fans of [[{{Anime/Robotech}} Reba's other work]]. Especially since as the English narrator, there is almost never a moment of silence and [[ViewersAreMorons relates information most viewers can pick up themselves]], (unlike [[Creator/ReiSakuma the Japanese version]], which has ''far'' less narration), and is often used at very inappropriate times, such as when Beth walks out of the Hummel's house after the baby died. Not helping is that Amy is the [[TheScrappy least liked of the March sisters]] stateside.
