* WTHCastingAgency: For the English Dub. While the voices for the main characters like Zorro, Lolita, Raymond, Gabriel, Bernard, etc. are pretty decent, the voice acting for some of the one-shot and minor characters can sound downright cringe-worthy, as if either the voice actors playing them had been gargling glass in their throats or they were random drunk hobos picked off from the streets.

* GrowingTheBeard: While the show was good to begin with, episode 30 and beyond were when the show underwent a major change for the better. The animation became much more fluid and action scenes got a lot more intricate. Diego's past and where he learned swordsmanwhip were explored more in-depth with the introduction of his friend Teo. A slow but steady story arc also took root as the BigBadEnsemble of both the Army and the South India Trading Company increasingly made life unbearable for the town, culminating in their joint project in bringing [[WeaponOfMassDestruction cannons]] into the town to root out all who opposed the army. Character development also got better, as characters like Captain Jekyll eventually saw the need to work with Zorro on certain matters and stopped trying to arrest Zorro as much while Lieutenant Gabriel's potential to turn to the side of good and his interactions with Raymond were explored more in-depth. A few good continuity nods also abounded in the later episodes as Zorro was forced to deal with the chickens coming home to roost when the brother of the guitar killer came to town to avenge his brother.

CrowningMomentOfFunny:
** "Lady Barbara": Zorro sneaks into the titular noblewoman's carriage as part of a plan to steal a box of jewels in her possession (Raymond stole the jewels from the townspeople and then gave them to Barbara as a going-away present, without her knowing of their origin). Barbara screams out for the soldiers, but Zorro covers her mouth with one hand and politely assures her he's not there to harm her. She nods in understanding, he removes his hand--and ''she screams out for the soldiers even louder than before.'' [[OhCrap The look on Zorro's face]] has to be seen to bebelieved.believed.
** CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming:
** "Pepita": At the start of the episode, the titular flower-girl attempts to get some bullies to leave her alone by declaring that she's friends with Zorro and that she'll call him to beat them up, but since she's known for telling fancy stories, they of course don't believe her. Well, cue the end of the episode when Zorro comes to rescue Bernard and Pepita from the episode's villain...
--> '''Pepita:''' Bernard needs your help! He's my only friend! Don't let anything bad happen to him!
--> '''Zorro:''' ''(smiles)'' I thought I was your friend too, Pepita.
--> '''Pepita:''' Zorro, you know who I am?
--> '''Zorro:''' Mmm-hmm.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Near the very end of the episode "Lady Barbara," when the episode's villain is falling off a section of a ship's decking following a fight with Zorro, the titular noblewoman lifts up her skirt partway, raises her leg, and ''kicks the villain right off the ship.'' Even if you take into account an earlier scene where it's revealed that she's rather bossy toward [[HenpeckedHusband her husband, the Governor-General]], this particular moment--while certainly cementing her as a HeroicBystander--still comes a little out of left field, having no build-up beforehand.
