Context YMMV / JewelpetSunshine

Go To

1* AbandonShipping: During the broadcast, people were confused and [[BestialityIsDepraved disgusted]] at how the writers treated the pairing of Mikage/Ruby with the utmost seriousness, and far preferred Mikage/Kanon. Cue [[BrotherSisterIncest reveal]] and fans dropping Mikage/Kanon like a hot potato.
2* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Does Katori really love Charotte or is it only using her as a handy blood source?
3* AwesomeEgo: ''Sunshine'' would probably lose more than half its entertainment value if it eliminated Kanon's amazingly over-the-top self-confidence.
4* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The television airing had a myriad of licensed songs played during fitting moments, from Art Garfunkel to Music/TheBeatles, [[SignatureScene taking a stroll through]] Creator/IreneCara.
5* BaseBreakingCharacter: Kanon is either an unique protagonist whose haughty personality is a refreshing change from all the shy, unconfident girls, or a totally unsympathetic, selfish quasi-VillainProtagonist.
6* BizarroEpisode:
7** Episode 39 is completely detached from the rest of the season. No one from the regular cast appears save for Labra and Angela (and an easy to miss appearance by Jewelina's fairy assistant). The plot is a replica of 1970's road movies, where Labra and Angela get mistaken for heinous criminals and get chased by the police, then almost enslaved by a circus and finally nearly kidnapped by aliens. And all this junk happened because they wanted to deliver the mail to the end of the world.
8** Episode 36 (Jugempet) is another detached episode about the cast being replaced with [[ShoddyKnockoffProduct Shoddy Knockoff Imitations]]. It really goes into strange places with most of the cast blindly accepting the changes and it gets very off-putting. [[spoiler:The episode ends on a dismal note with everyone becoming an emotionless zombie, but in the following episode [[NegativeContinuity it's like nothing happened]].]]
9* BrokenBase: The loss of the MagicalGirl elements. There are people who got into ''Jewelpet'' for this and find it lamentable that it's dropped starting here, while others think this allowed the anime series to find its own identity.
10* EsotericHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Sure, Mikage gets to be with the love of his life forever... ''but did he even say anything to his parents during those five years?'' And how are they (and Kanon) going to react when they find out he turned into a Jewelpet?]]
11* GrowingTheBeard: Regardless of whether it's good or not, many people consider ''Sunshine'' (specifically, the downplaying of the magical elements and introduction of off-the-wall humour) the point at which the anime grew into its own thing.
12** For an in-season example: episode 14, which provides the opportunity of showing that, though still a GagSeries at its core, it is entirely capable of writing drama side-by-side with comedy and really sets the LoveTriangle of Ruby/Mikage/Kanon in motion.
13* MemeticMutation: Garnet [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar snaps her fingers to balance the universe]]. [[labelnote:*]]In Episode 34, she snaps her fingers repeatedly, and scenes of various characters disintegrating have been shown next to her snapping. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3d8B1nc2j8 Here]] is an example.[[/labelnote]]
14* NightmareFuel: Episode 36-A, with all the characters being replaced by people who look like them but are not them. It's a ParanoiaFuel extravaganza!
15* NoYay: Mikage/Ruby, considering one is a human and another a tiny Jewelpet. [[spoiler:Remedied in the end by turning Mikage into a Jewelpet.]]
16* PeripheryDemographic: Very well-liked by the older audience, but the main demographic of kids doesn't seem very fond of it (the high school setting probably alienates them).
17* ShipToShipCombat: Episode 25 created some minor strife over who Dian should be with - Garnet or Diana?
18* SignatureScene: The ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'' parody in episode 25.
19* TheyChangedItNowItSucks:
20** Some people who started with the first series or ''Twinkle'' can't really handle the turn for the insane that the anime took starting here.
21** The DVD by having its licensed soundtrack removed and replaced with incredibly corny 80s-sounding instrumentals (think as if Music/GiorgioMoroder had been hired to score the anime).
22* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The relationship of Kaede and Charotte. Despite being roommates, they're not seen interacting even once in the whole story. It would have been a great opportunity to develop Kaede beyond her relationship with Kanon, especially considering Komachi got such development with Sango.
23* ToughActToFollow: What seems to be felt in regards to ''Anime/JewelpetKiraDeco'' following on its heels in addition to ''Sunshine'' coming after ''Anime/JewelpetTwinkle''.
24* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: What writer was enough of a madman to dress Jill, Kaede and Komachi in dominatrix outfits? In a ''weekend morning'' anime?
25* {{Woolseyism}}: The title of episode 30-A was changed from "Look Behind You" to "All The Teacher Iruka's Men" in European dubs. Not only it is a delightful ShoutOut and ParentalBonus, but it also makes more sense in the context of the episode, as the plot is about Sapphie being curious and actively chasing down the men who push Iruka's water tank. The former title is suggestive of ParanoiaFuel, which Sapphie never feels, but it is the reaction that viewers might have with the ending of the episode.
