History YMMV / AmandaTheAdventurer

* [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct She Really Can Act]]: All the voice actors/live action actors do a great job, but special mention goes to Blair-Osako Greene's work on Amanda and the incredible emotional range that she shows through out the tapes: from cheerful exuberance in the more innocent sounding ones, to the fury she displays in the butcher shop, the sass when either Wooly or the player go against her, or the deadpan haunting brokenness she answers with "will you address the card" or "I'm out there."

** Surprisingly has one with ''VideoGame/CultOfTheLamb'' due to both games having a sheep main protagonist. There are [[AlternateUniverseFic AUs]] where Wooly joins the cult and befriends the lamb main protagonist. Amanda will also be present but not be a member of the cult.

** Sam Colton adopted Rebecca then made her the star of a TV show that ended up becoming wildly popular. Is he really a {{Good Parent|s}} or a StageDad? One argument against this interpretation is how he tried to put a stop to Hameln's "dynamic voice reaction" training session. Also worth noting it was a low budget, open access show, it wasn't expected to be popular or overwhelm Rebecca.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Wooly really allergic to apples? Is Grandma really a vegetarian? Are these real issues that Amanda is pushing aside as {{Foreshadowing}} to her true nature or is Wooly making these up, hoping to subtly discourage her and the player from getting to the DownerEnding?
** In the full release, a sizeable amount of people have found Wooly to be far more suspicious than his pilot self for various reasons.

** Surprisingly has one with ''VideoGame/CultOfTheLamb'' due to both games having a sheep main protagonist. There are AUS where Wooly joins the cult and befriends the lamb main protagonist. Amanda will also be present but not be a member of the cult.

** A sizeable number of people in the [[ARG/WelcomeHomeClownIllustrations Welcome Home]] fanbase also appears to be drawn to this game, as both feature the setting of a children's program that is not all as it at first appears.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Thanks in part to its official Japanese translation, the game is very popular in Japan. Most Japanese fans love Wooly due to his cute but simple design.
** The game also saw success in Latin American. Fitting as the game was inspired by Dora the Explorer.

** Unexpectedly has one with ''Anime/PopeeThePerformer''. This appears to be because of how both center around a psychotic human main protagonist from a "children's series", that regularly tortures their "friend", a timid, anthropromorphic animal.

*** Depending on who you ask, the public statement that Hameln representatives had shared over the news can be considered as one for the company as a whole. [[spoiler:Not only were they allegedly responsible for Sam Colton's diasppearance, but they also try to tarnish Sam's reputation by claiming that he "abandoned" both the company and his daughter, leading to all of the problems that concerned parents are dealing with, despite all of the evidence that he loved her very much, and how he was the one who adopted her in the first place.]]

* FanNickname: [[spoiler:Some fans refer to the Director as "Mr. Hameln", due to him presumably being the head of the company.]]

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:In ''Pilot Episode'', the very moment Wooly snaps at Amanda, putting the safety of the viewer above his own just to warn them to outright destroy all of the tapes. This resonated very well with the fans, becoming an EstablishingCharacterMoment for Wooly, [[TearJerker which makes what happens next even more upsetting]].]]

*** Amanda crosses this in episode two. She states that she and Wooly are going to the butcher so they can get meat for Grandma, despite Grandma being a vegetarian. Once you click on the meat store, she asks them to tell the meat man what they need. You desperately try typing a four-letter word other than meat, but on the third try, [[ButThouMust she forces you to type meat]]! Once the meat man starts cutting up meat, Amanda stares at Wooly as he starts to panic. The third tape's opening shows Amanda [[KillTheCutie standing next to a piece of Wooly]].
*** The secret tape shows what really happened. At the end of it, Wooly desperately tries to tell the viewer to burn the tapes as Amanda closes in on him to [[KilledOffForReal kill him for good]]. What follows afterwards is the player trying to start a fire to destroy the tapes. After two type-ins on a seemingly unknown five-letter wordbox, Amanda proceeds to [[MindRape force the player to type in "watch" so he can watch it anyway]], showing that she won't give up on making you watch the tapes and killing you. What's worse? We saw Wooly possibly get killed in episode two, which implies that [[AndIMustScream Amanda wouldn't let him die unless she actually finds out that he was trying to protect the player]].

** Subverted in the main game: while Amanda bullies Wooly a lot, [[AmbiguousInnocence he's also a lot more morally ambiguous and is implied to be deleterious to Amanda's mind in some way]], making her come off as more [[PayEvilUntoEvil lashing out at the most obvious source of her misery]]. [[spoiler:Even if he turns out to be just nice, it's heavily implied Amanda isn't in control of her actions a lot of the time, but the demonic entity - how much free will she has to avoid bullying him is suspect.]]

* {{Moe}}: [[spoiler:Rebecca Colton, Amanda's voice actor, is described to have various traits that encapsulate this. She is a joyous little girl said to find adventure even in her backyard, despite the hard life she had prior to being adopted, and her performances in Sam's original show were often described to be outright adorable. What eventually became of her thanks to Hameln adds onto this significantly.]]
