YMMV / Saber Marionette J

• Abandon Shipping: The ending of J to X has all the three marionettes regress into children & erased their memories, effectively demoting them from potential love interests to adopted daughters to Otaru.
• Adaptation Displacement: How many people are even aware of the Saber Marionette J audio series? Or the light novels?
• Anvilicious: J to X had such a blatant antideforestation episode that most viewers already got the message in the first five minutes.
• Awesome Music: Hesitation, which was sung by Megumi Hayashibara.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In J to X there is a flashback episode where while the Marionettes are remembering their origins, Bloodberry has a memory of her being berserker and gets dizzy. This is never brought up ever again.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: This series was a strong hit in Latin America, being one of the most fondly remembered anime series shown in the now-defunct adult animation channel Locomotion.
• Les Yay: Marine imprints on Lime when they first meet, and spends most of J Again in a Pseudo-Romantic Friendship.
• Macekre: Tokyopop's "translation" of the manga.
• Narm: Some of the English dub results in bits of this.
• Sequel Displacement: Or better said, Prequel Displacement. Saber Marionette J is a prequel of the OVA Saber Marionette R, but is far more popular, to the point that some think that said OVA was an Spin-Off of this series rather than predating it.
