YMMV / A Wind Named Amnesia

Go To

  • Artistic License – Law Enforcement: The character named Little John who shown as being the former sheriff of the LAPD (Los Angeles municipal Police Department). This is completely wrong. The sheriff is the head of the LASD (Los Angeles county Sheriff's Department) which handles matters of Los Angeles county, while the LAPD handles the matters of the city of Los Angeles. The LAPD has a Commissioner and Chief of Police but no sheriff. The confusion is somewhat understandable- since the city of Los Angeles is within the county of Los Angeles, the sheriff does have some power but is not the "top cop" there.
  • Fridge Horror: The idea that pilot of the Town Guardian probably died because his amnesia stripped him of any knowledge of how to operate the machine.
  • Ho Yay: Johnny and Wataru exchange a meaningful look at the part of his flashback in which the latter remembers Johnnie taught him, among other things, to "have fun". It is easy to see it as an euphemism for sexuality.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Plenty of it. From children being left without parents, to possibly former friends and family now killing each other for survival. Giant robots that vaporize anyone for just breathing, and crazed cults formed around construction equipment. Take your pick.
    • One major bit of Nightmare Fuel involves things like This very site and The Other Wiki. We have catalogued vast libraries of the sum of all human knowledge. The problem is how would anyone know it was even there to look up?
