YMMV / Jane and the Dragon

• Accidental Aesop: Audiences tend to find morals in the stories, though the writers deny writing any episodes with a specific lesson in mind. The American edits took advantage of this.
• Adorkable: Rake's Shrinking Violet personality, passion for gardening, and obvious crush on Pepper easily make him this.
• Awesome Music: The intro and soundtrack.
• Cult Classic: The show is fondly remembered by those who watched it as children and has a small-but-passionate fandom. Later reruns on Qubo earned it something of a "I (vaguely) remember this show exists" reputation among Gen Z kids.
• Draco in Leather Pants: Fanfics that ship Jane and Gunther tend to play down his nastiness to the heroine and play up his angst over his deleterious relationship with his father. One wonders if fans would be so lenient if he weren't so handsome.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: The majority of fanfics are about Jane x Gunther despite explicit confirmation in-series that they do not like each other that way.
• Foe Yay Shipping: Many fans ship Jane and Gunther in spite of their obvious hatred for one another, and the show devotes an entire episode to the two dealing with rumors that they're in love before confirming that they are not. Naturally, this is probably the most popular episode.
• Jerkass Woobie: Gunther. Though he often behaves unpleasantly and underhandedly toward the heroes of the show, one can see how his life is truly quite sad, and many viewers are sympathetic toward him; he is motherless, and in all likelihood a victim of child abuse by his Corrupt Corporate Executive father. He is also constantly torn between duties towards his amoral father and his duty to uphold the knight's code, perpetually between a rock and hard place from which he cannot escape, and Word of God says he desperately wants to be liked, but just can't figure out how.
• Misaimed Fandom: Jane x Gunther is an extremely popular pairing, despite explicit confirmation in-series that they do not like each other that way. The fact that the cast has talked about them as a couple adds fuel to the fire.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The animation is provided by the same studio that created special effects for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, so it's to be expected.
