* TaintedByThePreview: From early promotional material, ''Princess Principal'' looked like a "cute girls doing cute things" SliceOfLife show that just happens to be set in steampunk Victorian London. It's [[AnimeFirst an original anime]] with [[NonindicativeName a misleading title]], so there wasn't much to counter that assumption. Nobody could have expected the show getting into serious, hardcore spy intrigue in just the first episode. Many people wrote the show off as a waste of time without ever learning what it was really like.

** The end of Episode Two reveals that Ange and Charlotte knew each other. Ange purposely sabotaged the mission to assassinate Charlotte, so she could simultaneously save Charlotte's life and make her an 'ally' to the people she works for at the same time.

** The dialogue between Ange and Charlotte at the start of episode 3 is... suspicious, to say the least. "Let's run away together". "There is a white house waiting for us in Casablanca". And worst of all, "With the Wall gone, we can be together and it won't matter who knows it".

** In Episode twelve the Princess leaves Ange a message which starts with "My turtle dove". In case you don't know, turtle doves are a symbol of devoted love (romantic, usually).
** One of the last shots of the first season is Ange and Charlotte holding hands as they relax on the beach. Earlier that episode, there's a long, emotional scene of Ange [[BridalCarry Bridal Carrying]] Charlotte, ending with the latter saying she will "break the wall around [Ange's] heart."

* CreatorProvincialism: Some fans consider Chise to run afoul of this. On one hand, she actually encounters a fair deal of culture shock and gets discriminated against as a foreigner, as well as actually being a WildCard spy for her home country. On the other hand, other fans consider her being Japanese as nothing but PanderingToTheBase since the role could have been pulled off just as well with a character from any other sufficiently foreign country.
