YMMV / I Am from Austria

Go To

  • Adorkable: Josi, full stop. Best exemplified in his absolutely incoherent speech in act 2 in which he somehow manages to confess his love to Emma without finishing one single sentence.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • In the German original, Emma is referred to (by the English subtitles) as a "top star", and the Edlers (in an attempt to console a brokenhearted Josi) say that she's out of his league. Cut to the Takarazuka Revue adaptation, in which Josi is played by the lead otokoyaku (male role actress) of Moon Troupe, and Emma by the lead musumeyaku. Lead otokoyaku are referred to formally as top stars. (Lead musumeyaku are called "top musumeyaku", but the English-speaking fandom also tend to refer to them as top stars anyway.) Guess Emma isn't so out of Josi's league after all!
    • I Am From Austria is not the first time Tsukishiro Kanato (Richard)'s character breaks up a relationship with a photograph. In Elisabeth, Lucheni takes the picture of Franz-Joseph (after whom Josi is named) cavorting with a prostitute in the Habsburg, which Death (Tamaki Ryou, who plays Josi) gives to Elisabeth as proof of Franz's cheating.
