* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Panther Zora in ''Universe''. Before she actually appeared in the series, several articles where hyping her appearance as the "Last Boss", as well as announcing that singer, Sachiko Kobayashi, would be voicing her. Hinting that her appearance was going to be something big. However, when she actually does finally appear in episode 12, not only was her appearance nothing more than a cameo, but she's literally just a white and grey still image, leaving many fans disappointed.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Honey's portrayal in ''Re''. Some fans find her nicer, more ditzy personality adorable and cute, while other fans consider it to be a downgrade compared to her more clever and cockier personality seen in the original series and other adaptations.

Internet Backdraft is now Flame Bait and being dewicked per TRS.


* InternetBackdraft: ''Cutie Honey Universe'' got a big one with its first episode. But not because of things like the show expecting you to have watched a Honey series before. Or throwing terms at you for no reason. Or not explaining why Honey needs to become Hurricane Honey to ride a motorcycle. No, it was all because they changed up the opening theme song to something new and refused to use her InTheNameOfTheMoon speech. It got so bad that several fans decided to make parody videos to reflect their hatred towards the new theme and created a meme called "Not my ONEGAI".

It helps that Akira gets slightly flirty at the end of the episode, and there's a possible DidTheyOrDidntThey moment teased.
