* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: As of 2012, ''Oniisama e'' has been '''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.comcc//news/2012-03-20/viki-streams-black-jack-21-oniisama-e-master-of-epic-waimo-kun licensed overseas.]'''
* [[Ear Worm]]: Don't expect to watch this series without catching yourself humming [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvU7ZwpAoHU the opening theme] at least once.
** Considering that it's an ''enka''-like song with very pretty lyrics, it may double as [[Crowning Music of Awesome]].
Line 10:
* [[Narm]]: A non-drama example: Aya Misaki's horrible puffy hair. May have been in vogue in [[The Seventies]] when the series was written, but now...
** As well as the ridiculously exaggerated faces she makes after {{spoiler|Mariko slashes her with her boxcutter.}}
* [[Tear Jerker]]: ''Many''. [[Oniisama E (Manga)e.../Tear Jerker|It now has its own page.]]
* [[Values Dissonance]]: Lots of people are weirded out when the Seiran students make such a huge deal of {{spoiler|Nanako's mother being re-married to Professor Misonou (aka Takehiko's estranged father)}}, but [[Fridge Brilliance|it makes more sense]] when we remember that the Japanese society's stance on divorce, adoption, and [[Sins of Our Fathers]] are pretty different to the ones in the West. And there's also the fact that ''this'' particular manga was written in [[The Seventies]]...
* [[Wangst]]: Lots of it, but especially Fukiko, who can''not'' get over the fact that {{spoiler|Takehiko didn't come to her violin recital when she was 12}}... which happened six years ago.
Line 16:
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Badass?]]: If you watch this series on [[YouTube]], PLEASE be careful while reading the comments. Lots of people there love to bash Nanako and call her "weak" or "stupid" for not kicking off her bullies.
* [[The Woobie]]: A ''lot'' of them:
** Nanako and Rei. Poor little Nanako, so sweet and so kicked around by life itself. And poor Rei, so utterly broken ever since she was a little girl. Also, episode 15 brings [[Remember the New Guy?|a character we didn't know about]], then [[Break the Cutie|breaks her]], and makes her this. {{spoiler|Poor, ''poor'' Junko.}}
** [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Mariko. Utterly clingy and possessive of Nanako, {{spoiler|to homicidal ''and'' self-destructive degrees}}, and can be a bitch to Tomoko in the beginning. She's also among the few willing to protect Nanako from bullies and help her in the Sorority, and is genuinely fucked up {{spoiler|from her parents's MESSY divorce, which drives her to almost kill herself.}} Not to mention-- goshmention—gosh, when [[Pet the Dog|she shows a sweeter side]], you almost wanna say "Mariko why so [[Moe]]"? And surprisingly, {{spoiler|Aya Misaki}} becomes a [[Jerkass Woobie]] late in the series.
** [[Iron Woobie]] / [[Stoic Woobie]]: Kaoru and Takehiko. Kaoru does what she can to deal with her woobielicious best friend Rei being totally broken {{spoiler|and her own ailing health}}; meanwhile, {{spoiler|her boyfriend/eventual husband}} Takehiko almost always smiles kindly and tries to be a good friend, despite how {{spoiler|he can't tell Nanako that he's her stepbrother aside of her pen-pal, which puts quite the spin in their interactions, as well as his own relationship with Kaoru. (And we're not counting the manga, in which Kaoru actually ''dies'' a while after they reconcile...)}}
