1	* {{Anvilicious}}: It is sometimes perceived this way by more non-religious critics.
2	* AudienceAlienatingPremise: Part of what prematurely ended two attempts at an AnimatedAdaptation for ''Warrior Nun Areala''. Religious folk, 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. People of faith may feel it is making light of and/or distorting Christianity, whereas the non-theistic regard it as trying to make the Catholic Church look cool.
3	* EnsembleDarkhorse: Lilith was intended only to be TheDragon to Orcus, but she was well received enough by readers to the point that she was [[Series/{{Supernatural}} Castieled]] into one of the main characters and stayed on in the series.
4	* FauxSymbolism: The use of religious imagery is very gratuitous and unnecessary to put it lightly.
5	* HilariousInHindsight:
6	** The series features a Jewish character who goes by the alias of "The Hammer". In 2003, there would be a film called in ''Film/TheHebrewHammer''.
7	** 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.
8	* HoYay: The series does invoke some degree of this (particularly scenes involving Mary Delacroix), albeit in a veiled way.
9	* IAmNotShazam: The protagonist is frequently referred to as "Areala". The main character's name is Shannon Masters and Areala is a title held by the avatar of the Valkyrie Areala.
10	* MisaimedFandom: 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.
11	* MoralEventHorizon: The Holy Man crosses this on just about every occasion he appears. The most notable was when he bombed a synagogue and a mosque simply for [[ForTheEvulz his own twisted amusement]].
12	* NewerThanTheyThink: Though ''Warrior Nun Areala'' is credited by many for the creation of many AnimeCatholicism heavy series, it was itself preceded by Creator/JohnSteakley's novel ''Literature/{{Vampires}}'' by four years.
13	* OnceOriginalNowCommon: 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.
14	* PeripheryDemographic: The series seems to have been most popular among Protestant Christians, some of whom even expressed their desire to feature Protestant characters as well.
