YMMV / Clémentine

Go To

For the book series

  • Diagnosed by the Audience: Clementine has trouble staying still and paying attention, which are the two defining traits of ADHD. Plus, Clementine defines her attention problems as more so her actually paying perfect attention, just not to what she was supposed to, which is how people with ADHD commonly describe their disorder.

For the animated series

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Is Clementine really travelling through space and time with her guardian angel? Or are her fantasies - and her paralysis - mainly psychosomatic, caused by either her jealousy about her father's new relationship with Eole or her trauma from the accident she barely survived? Alternately, is the paralysis real, but the journeys just metaphors for overcoming illness and disability? Considering that Huchez had a child psychologist help him out with the script, one wonders.
  • Awesome Music: Hemera's theme , a very serene Ethereal Choir which sounds every time the titular character appears to save Clementine from Malmoth.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Latin Americans Love Clémentine. The show was dubbed in Mexico and distributed in several Latin-American countries. Many young adults that were kids/teens in The '90s remember it very fondly.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The show rides on it. This is also the reason why the show was taken off the air in Poland after airing five or six episodes.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: The show and its pretty dark content caused controversy in some countries airing it. Also, one of Malmoth's female lackeys wears nothing but a cape, bra, and thong in her human disguise.
