** When the Prussian army is seen invading France, their military uniforms are dark green. Prussian military uniforms in the 1870s were actually dark blue. Oddly enough, the anime got the French military uniforms down correctly.
** The Prussian flag is [[https://ibb.co/3k4xZ4h depicted]] as blue and red. In real life, it looked like [[https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c1/Flag_of_the_Kingdom_of_Prussia_%281803-1892%29.svg this]]
** The French flag is depicted as the modern-day tricolore flag, but since the anime is set in 1870, it should have been [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_French_flags#/media/File:Imperial_Standard_of_Napol%C3%A9on_III.svg this]].

** In episode two, a commoner child asks his mother why the French are fleeing en masse. She replies that the Prussians are coming, and they are doing so to protect their homes and properties.

In the same episode, Geneviève asks Jules why they can't marry, and he replies that since she is the daughter of wealthy landowners, and he is a mere piano teacher, her parents would never approve of their inter-class romance.

While the rich have the means to leave the country and escape Prussian wrath, the poor have nowhere to go and can only stare in terror as more French wagons leave and more Prussian soldiers enter. A VocalMinority of the Parisian commoners vow to die fighting the Prussians and liberate Paris rather than live under their rule.

*ButterFace: PlayedForLaughs in episode 1. Jean asks Isabelle for a dance, which she rejects, as she holds affections for Victor and views Jean as a "crybaby" due to her being somewhat of a [[TheBully bully]] to him when they were children. Jean then replies that he will dance with someone else and complements a lady with a BeehiveHairdo and OjouRinglets, but when she turns around, Jean is disgusted by her thin eyes and fat nose.
*CapitalismIsBad:
**In the first episode, Jules critisizes the rich for holding a ball when their country is in the midst of war.
**In episode two, a commoner child asks his mother why the French are fleeing en masse. She replies that the Prussians are coming, and they are doing so to protect their homes and properties. When the child asks if they will flee too, the mother replies that they have nowhere to go, and that them and the Bourgeoisie live in an enitirely different world than them. In the same episode, Geneviève asks Jules why they can't marry, and he replies that since she is the daughter of wealthy landowners, and he is a mere piano teacher, her parents would never approve of the inter-class romance.

*LoveDodecahedron: ''Inhale''. Geneviève loves Jules, but her father arranged for her to marry Captain Victor.

Meanwhile, Geneviève's sister, Isabelle, loves Captain Victor, but her [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend childhood friend]] Jean likes her and proposed the idea of marriage to her when they were children. She reacted by slapping him.

!!'''Anime/IsabelleOfParis''' provides examples of:
*AristocratsAreEvil: Perhaps "evil" is a stretch for the French aristocrats, since at worst they're horribly snobby. However they do behave sociopathically, with no regard for the poor commoners left behind as they flee [[UsefulNotes/OttoVonBismarck Ottto Van Bismarck]]'s army.
*ButterFace: PlayedForLaughs in episode 1. Jean asks Isabelle for a dance, which she rejects, as she holds affections for Victor and views Jean as a "crybaby" due to her being somewhat of a [[TheBully bully]] to him when they were children. Jean then replies that he will dance with someone else and complements a lady with a BeehiveHairdo and OjouRinglets, but when she turns around, Jean is disgusted by her thin eyes and fat nose.
*CapitalismIsBad:
**In the first episode, Jules critisizes the rich for holding a ball when their country is in the midst of war.
**In episode two, a commoner child asks his mother why the French are fleeing en masse. She replies that the Prussians are coming, and they are doing so to protect their homes and properties. When the child asks if they will flee too, the mother replies that they have nowhere to go, and that them and the Bourgeoisie live in an enitirely different world than them. In the same episode, Geneviève asks Jules why they can't marry, and he replies that since she is the daughter of wealthy landowners, and he is a mere piano teacher, her parents would never approve of the inter-class romance.
*CostumePorn: Since this is set in 1870s UsefulNotes/France, this trope is in full effect. Expect almost every character to don a GorgeousPeriodDress with GiantPoofySleeves and [[EverythingsSparklyWithJewellery sparkly jewellery]].
*LoveDodecahedron: ''Inhale''. Geneviève loves Jules, but her father arranged for her to marry Captain Victor. Jules is forced to accept this reality, but Geneviève still wants to be with him regardless. Meanwhile, Geneviève's sister, Isabelle, loves Captain Victor, but her [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend childhood friend]] Jean likes her and proposed the idea of marriage to her when they were children. She reacted by slapping him.
