YMMV / Mina and The Count

• Cult Classic: It has the premise of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy (though much more Lighter and Softer) and the animation style of Genndy Tartakovsky at the start of his career before either were officially a thing. It's basically at the tippy top of every Cartoon Network loyalist's "Top 10 Pilots that should have had a show" lists.
• Heartwarming Moments: Now has its own page.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In “The Vampire Who Came to Dinner”, the Count can't stop staring at Mina's sister Lucy because she has really delicious-sounding blood. Flash forward a couple of years to The Twilight Saga...
  • Not to mention the first episode has the 'Meyers’ Boarding House for Young Women'.
  • In the episode “My Best Friend”, when Mina has to deal with a bully, the Count gives her this advice; “Physical violence is not the answer. Psychological Domination is the name of the game!” Fast forward a few years, and Terry McGinnis did exactly that when taking on another character voiced by Mark Hamill.
• Moe: Mina.
• Sweet Dreams Fuel: The Count and Mina’s friendship in general.
• Tear Jerker:
  • "My Best Friend", the original student film the series was based on, has the Count and Mina spending so much time together... and then Mina's family had to move away, meaning she may never see the Count again.
  • Mina’s bullying at the hands of Nick at the beginning of the episode "My Best Friend" (not to be confused with the aforementioned student film), especially when it starts to rain as she’s walking home.
    Mina: (sniffles and wipes at her eyes) Stupid rain…
    • Made even worse when she attempts to intimidate Nick into leaving her alone the next day. The result is her getting laughed at by everyone at school.
      Mina: Everybody laughed. All. Day. Long.
