Line 28:
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Seeing Tabitha's mother for the first time; emaciated, insane and paranoid. She hurls insults and silverware at her own daughter, making it that much worse when the cause is revealed {{spoiler|to have been a glass of cursed wine intended for Tabitha (then Charlotte). Upon realizing what was going on, she drank it herself to protect her daughter.}}
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]
** The anime works at a conversion ratio of three to four volumes per twelve episodes. Due to this, at least two thirds of the source material has been outright omitted, and the rest truncated or chopped up. Had the anime remained faithful to the source materials all along... well, too late now, unfortunately.
** The manga and novels aren't immune to this criticism either. In fact, the series as a whole often comes under fire for having a terrific premise, and absolutely terrible execution. The fact that [[Eight Deadly Words|almost every character is wholly unlikeable]] for one reason or another ([[Love Makes You Crazy]] and [[Idiot Ball]] being the most common reasons) certainly doesn't help matters.
* [[Unintentionally Unsympathetic]]: '''Louise'''. She ''does'' have a lot of issues, but that doesn't excuse in the slightest her atrocious abuse of Saito. She's the prime example of a [[Tsundere]] [[Shana Clone]] done ''completely'' '''wrong'''.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Saito still hasn't figured out that commenting about large breasts (or her [[Pettanko|lack thereof]]) around [[Tsundere|Louise]] is a bad idea.
* [[The Woobie]]: You really can't help but feel sorry for Saito because of the abuse heaped upon him by Louise. Hell, even the other familiars feel sorry for Saito, and see his treatment as both a familiar and a human as horrible. Tabitha qualifies too, once you learn of {{spoiler|what happened to her parents}}.
