YMMV / Saber Marionette R

• Nightmare Fuel: The scene where Edge takes off Junior's shirt and slashes his chest, and then starts whipping him in the back manages to be creepily reminiscent of sexual assault. And if you are only familiar with the much more light-hearted Saber Marionette J, some dark and violent scenes from this OVA series can come off as Surprisingly Creepy Moments.
• Older Than They Think: Before works such as Higurashi: When They Cry, Puella Magi Madoka Magica and Made in Abyss juxtaposed a cutesy art style with a dark and violent plot, this OVA was already pulling that trope back then in 1995.
