I've had a recent bunny ordeal myself, so, please tell me, what is it about bunnies that terrifies Anya?
Was it too much Monty Python?

I know there was one episode where they really get into Anya's history, but I missed the beginning. I was really hoping to find out what had tramatized her.
They used the bunny thing a whole lot, but I never knew the root of the fear. It was pretty funny though.
I just hit a bunny on the highway almost a week ago, and I went back to check it and it was still alive. My boyfriend pulled it off the road, and we held it.
It just seemed kinda stunned. We took it to a nearby field far from traffic, and I was starting to freak because it wouldn't move, but then it hopped out of my hands! Once this happened we knew it would be okay, so we set him free again.
Poor thing. I felt sooo bad. I'm so glad I didn't wind up killing it!
Talk about a lucky rabbit's foot!

It was something of a running joke through Anya's time on the series. Joss Whedon has a strange sense of humor, but he puts it to good use.
There was some talk that he would come up with an explanation of the bunny fear illustrated in earlier seasons sometime during Season 7. But even if the origins of Anya episode didn't offer much in the way of exposition. It just presented her as being a bunny lover before she became a vengeance demon.

I suppose, in the end, some things don't really need to be explained.

hi. I don't know if this helps. Its NOT the answer you were looking for but, I remember in the series Anya was just a normal human before and had a husband I thinks they live somewhere in Russia or Asia somewhere it was a rough woods area?
Anyway, her big husband came home from a long day and she was expecting him home earlier but he stay in the town bar "to drink" (wink) and she think that too. Was very upset anyway I remember in the house scene there were alots of bunnies around and she didn't seem to be scare then but after her BIG bad temper to hurt her husband then a demon came forward to her and telling her that she had develope enough powers to do some demon damages. and then off she goes.

The 7th season episode of "Selfless" is the one where they go into her past.
When she was human, we were shown that she loved bunnies. I think her fear of them comes from that.
I think that she associates them with that point in her life. That reminds her of betrayal, and even the eventual death of being a mortal. After hundreds of years od associating them with that pain, they just became way too scary bringing up old emotions and cause panic.

I think its just the whole cuddly fluffy bunny thing. It's like dealing with a morning person when your not, itsjust to much to ask of one person, or ex deamon.

I don't know it's just irrational fear, especially since she's an ex-demon so she has a different perspective from humans.

Wasn't there an episode later in the run of the series where it gave the complete backstory of Anya? I think it was called "Selfless" where it shows Anya liking bunnies at the beginning but is later terrorized in some way by bunnies or a giant bunny demon?
