History YMMV / GenmaWars

** [[TheDreaded The Great Genma King]], also known as [[BigBad Dar]], is the GalacticConqueror who is [[GreaterScopeVillain behind all the events in the series]], as well as the Maoh King's atrocities. Having already conquered Earth, the Genma King is reincarnated inside of Ran, where he uses his powers to try and have her kill Gin. After he's reborn, the Genma King is taken to the past alongside Loof and Gin and renamed Dar. In the past, the Genma King allowed all the Genmas to [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans transform the world into a totalitarian state]], which allowed all the Genmas to RapePillageAndBurn as they pleased. Seeking to [[KillAllHumans destroy all of humanity]], the Genma King had genetically-advanced apes place [[NukeEm nuclear warheads]] into space in hopes of turning the planet into a wasteland. During the finale, the Genma King pits Loof and Gin against each other so one of them would become the new Maoh King, which would also lead to the Genma King's travesties occurring once again in a new timeline. [[GooGooGodlike Despite his young appearance]], the Genma King is really a vicious conqueror who longs to eradicate humanity multiple times over.

** The [[EvilOverlord Maoh King]], or the [[SorcerousOverlord Wizard King]], is the tyrannical ruler of a [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic Earth]] and is largely responsible for the end of human civilization. Desiring an heir with immense power, the Maoh King abducts helpless women and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil forcefully impregnates them against their will]]. The Maoh King establishes his ruthlessness by remorselessly [[AbusiveParents feeding one of his sons]] to monsters [[KickTheDog even though he successfully defeated his opponents]]. When the Maoh King conceives two boys with a young woman named Non, he raises Loof in his castle, only to banish and attempt to execute him when he was transformed into a human. While he claims to have genuinely loved Non--and even requested to see her again--upon discovering that she was murdered, the Maoh King continues his pursuit of an heir as if nothing had happened. Despite sending his sons into the past to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong prevent the rise of the Genma Tribe]], it is made clear he is doing it for personal reasons rather than out of altruism. Reviled for his [[SerialRapist sick love of rape]], as well as his HairTriggerTemper, the Maoh King ruins everything around him out of sheer boredom.

* AmericansHateTingle: Westerners may find it hard to believe that Harmageddon was one of the highest grossing anime films of 1983 and inspired many other anime that came after it. Overseas, it remains an obscure movie at best, and has received mixed to negative reviews.

* EsotericHappyEnding: The series ends on a supposedly uplifting note with [[spoiler: the Genma being wiped out and mankind left to eventually rebuild itself according to the narrator. With that said however, the twins have utterly ''failed'' to prevent modern society's downfall and prevent their timeline from coming to place, not to mention most named characters in the show have been killed. Even the BigBad's survival is ambiguous at really best.]]

* {{Narm}}: The [[BattleOfTheStillFrames bad animation]] and lazy art direction, combined with the cheesy dialogue, the major contrast between the [[ArtStyleDissonance cartoonish art style and the extremely, extremely heavy handed plot]], the constant use of GratuitousRape in practically every episode and the overall nonsensical nature of the story made this anime a major target for ridicule.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: Due to the series' extremely bleak tone, sympathetic characters dying left and right with jerks outlasting them and [[FailureHero the protagonists' propensity to screw up and fail to save anyone]] - and that is when they aren't being [[DesignatedHero jerkasses]].

* CounterpartComparison: The Maoh King and Parome could be considered demonic and outright villainous versions of Zeus and Hera from Myth/ClassicalMythology. They are married to each other, but he has propensity to rape several mortal women and give birth to half-human children, while she loathes her husband's infidelity and tries to make life hell for the heroes that happen to be his sons.

* MoralDissonance: Loof forcing himself on Meena. Given how the narrative treats the villains as scum for their proclivity towards rape, its specially jarring to see one of the heroes raping his own love interest and completely get away with it.

* MagnificentBastard: Maoh King. Enough said.

* {{Moe}}: Non and Meena.

* MarySue: Non and Meena are [[PuritySue Purity Sues]]. Both are stunningly beautiful women who were forced away from their villages so that Moah King's minions wouldn't bother them. Non allowed Moah King to rape and impregnate her to save her village and, although her people treat her like dirt for bearing a Genma's child, she still loves them very much. Meena thanks the flora and fauna for providing her food and helps Loof out for no apparent reason even though he is a former Genma who raped her.
