History YMMV / WarriorNunAreala

* OnceOriginalNowOverdone: As a result of some other works exploring the idea of Vatican affiliated Monster fighters. Though ''Warrior Nun Areala'' is also considered by some to have gone deeper into this subject than other similar AnimeCatholicism[=/=]FantasticCatholicism themed works.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: As a result of some other works exploring the idea of Vatican affiliated Monster fighters. Though ''Warrior Nun Areala'' is also considered by some to have gone deeper into this subject than other similar AnimeCatholicism[=/=]FantasticCatholicism themed works.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Part of what prematurely ended two attempts at an AnimatedAdaptation for ''Warrior Nun Areala''. See Values Dissonance below for details.

* ValuesDissonance: The Ultra-religious, Atheist/Agnostic, and readers who simply want to enjoy some literary escapism generally are not likely to get along whenever something like this is brought up. In the case of the religious, it is seen as making light and/or distorting Christianity while the non-theistic regard it as being giving the Catholic Church a sort of collective DracoInLeatherPants treatment.

* AcceptableTargets:
** The Freemasons, who are portrayed as being synonymous with TheIlluminati.
** An even more agreeably [[AcceptablePoliticalTargets undisputed group]] to vilify would be the Nazis.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Manga and Anime critic Mike Toole had some criticism of ''Warrior Nun Areala'' along these lines in his review of ''Anime/ChronoCrusade'' where he saw it less favorably in comparison to the latter.

* HoYay: The series does invoke some degree of this (particularly scenes involving [[BadassGay Mary]] [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Delacroix]]), albeit in a veiled way.

* PuritySue: Shannon Masters falls into this on many occasions.

* DudeNotFunny: The US Catholic League's opinion on this work can be summed up this way, particularly taking offense to the Battle Habits used in the earlier issues of the series. Eventually, the comic writers decided to give in and redesign the outfit to be less offensive.

* MisaimedFandom and Misaimed {{Hatedom}}: Some detectors have claimed that Shannon Masters is either being a bad girl or not doing it enough. The detectors failed to realize that the character was stated by the creator of the series himself to be an ideal heroine to begin with. Though the characters of Mary Delacroix and later Lilith were introduced to present [[RedOniBlueOni a contrast with]] Shannon.

* AcceptableTargets: The Freemasons, who are portrayed as being synonymous with TheIlluminati.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Julian the Apostate (whom Julius Salvius was originally) was a Neoplatonic Pagan, not a Satanist as he is portrayed in the series.

* UnfortunateImplications: [[KnightTemplar The]] [[MisanthropeSupreme Holy]] [[StrawNihilist Man]], the series's [[{{Expy}} equivalent of]] SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker, is a very unflattering portrayal of atheists. The fact that there are few other Atheist characters does not help.

* NewerThanTheyThink: Though ''Warrior Nun Areala'' is credited by many for the creation of many AnimeCatholicism heavy series, it was itself preceded by John Steakley's novel Literature/{{Vampires}} by four years.

* MoralEventHorizon: The Holy Man crosses this on just about every occasion he appears. The most notable was when he bombed a synague and a mosque simply for [[ForTheEvulz his own twisted amusement]].

** When the character Lilith debuted, she had a strong resemblance to Morrigan Aensland of the then-recently released ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}''. Later the sequel Darkstalkers 3: Vampire Savior introduced Morrigan's sister, coincidently also named Lilith.

** The series features a Jewish character who goes by the alias of "The Hammer". In 2003, there would be a film called in TheHebrewHammer.

* FauxSymbolism: The use of religious imagery is very graitous and unnecessary to put it lightly.
