* In "Escape to Amphibia", Anne is planning to leave Earth to go back to Amphibia. Though it's worth noting that this takes months right ''after'' she came home after being gone for ''five months''. This could have led to Anne being confronted by her parents, particularly her mom, for wanting to leave them after being missing for a long time or worse, even getting disowned by them, knowing how many mistakes she made in the past in intentionally leaving them being the last straw. Instead, they fully support Anne and let her go back to Amphibia without hesitation.

* Kristen Schaal's guest appearance in season 2 makes it seem pretty odd that they didn't also include her in the same season's ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' homage.
* There are those who are disappointed about Sprig and Maddie's engagement ending, as she seemed to truly like Sprig and they feel she's a far more interesting character than Ivy.
* In the season 1 finale, "Reunion", it is revealed that Hop Pop's run for mayor of Wartwood led to frog rebellions across the valley, leading to the events of that episode. The rebellions, however, go completely unseen for the entirety of the show. They also end up not contributing to the main plot any further than the events of that episode, and Grime and Sasha's attempts to quell the rebellion simply result in the dissolution of [[spoiler:their division of]] the Toad Army, and the frog rebellions in Frog Valley are mostly forgotten, only being alluded to afterwards at best.
* Likewise, Grime and Sasha's toad rebellion is also mentioned by General Yunan in "The First Temple", but is only seen in "True Colors" attempting to invade Newtopia, only to serve as a quickly disposed-of DiscOneFinalBoss that only serves as a major threat in the first half of the episode, being forgotten in the second half of the episode aside from the destruction of North Toad Tower.
* Despite season 3A taking place on Earth, with a few characters commenting on Anne's disappearance, Sasha and Marcy's involvement and the ramifications of it is never even touched upon, with the two's parents not even appearing once. Furthermore, considering how Anne [[spoiler:gave their families letters]] in "Froggy Little Christmas," one would expect at least a mention of it, yet the consequences of Anne doing this are pretty much ignored. At the very least, an episode or a scene featuring the Wu and Waybright families worrying about the other two would've made a lot of sense, since Anne's parents fretted over her when she came back.
* "Toad To Redemption" set up Bog and his gang eventually returning as antagonists in a later episode, but they never reappear as an antagonist in any episode at all, at best making a background cameo in "Beginning of the End". Same goes for the grubhog, whose last major appearance set up a conflict or war, but also only returns in a background cameo in the same episode.
* Ivy never interacts with her grandmother Sylvia.
* Felicia Sundew is given an interesting background of having been a world traveler in “Ivy On The Run”. This backstory of hers is never brought up again, nor is Felicia given more than a couple of lines for the rest of the show.
* Despite starting up a friendship in "Maddie & Marcy" (being Marcy's first friendship outside Anne and Sasha that didn't involve manipulation or superficial reasons), Marcy and Maddie's friendship is never brought up again afterward with Maddie never reacting to Marcy going missing in "Turning Point" or even finding out about Darcy as well as neither saying goodbye to one another individually in the series finale. Additionally, some thought that Maddie being able to [[spoiler:raise the dead (albeit imperfectly and only shown for animals)]] should have played some role in resolving [[spoiler:Marcy's apparent death at the end of season 2]].
* The subplot dealing with how people of Earth is handling the coming invasion of Andrias is also left untold.
* There are fans who feel disappointed on Sasha and Marcy's minimal interaction with each other outside of Anne which could've provided good opportunities for both of their CharacterDevelopment considering each others' own betrayals revealed in "True Colors".
