Jane and the Dragon/YMMV
- 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 (see And Knowing Is Half the Battle below).
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The intro AND soundtrack.
- 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.
- Foe Yay: Many fans ship Jane and Gunther in spite of their obvious hatred for one another. The creators of the show probably saw this coming and devoted an entire episode to the two dealing with rumors that they're in love. Naturally, this is probably the most popular episode.
- Girls Need Role Models: Seems to be part of the motivation behind this character. The drawbacks of this are mostly subverted in that, while Jane is a noble and heroic character, she also has believable flaws.
- 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.
- Real Women Never Wear Dresses: Jane seems to believe this.
