History YMMV / Freezing

** The idea that a neo-natal nurse such as Isabella Lucas would kill infants under her charge for the thrill of it suddenly became more sickening when it [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_Letby became reality]] in the United Kingdom barely a year after last chapters related to the Busters Arc were released.

* HarsherInHindsight: Everyone laughed at Stella when she freaked out at the thought of undergoing a "baptism" with Kazuya, at Elizabeth's behest, because there was just way too much sexual symbolism in it, including her shaking in fear and {{Squick}}. [[BrotherSisterIncest Then we find out what Louis did to her.]] Then, as if that wasn't enough, there's ''Elizabeth's'' reaction to Kazuya using her and Arnett as PeoplePuppets, in an act of desperation to save them all from the five transcendent nova. She is reacting '''exactly''' the same way Stella was at the mention of the "baptism" and nobody's laughing.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** The anime tones down Louis' actions, and seems to be aware of how poorly his survival was received in the manga. Instead of an attempted murder-suicide, Louis [[spoiler: comes to realize just [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone how horrible he is]] and throws himself from the cliff. Holly's attempt to die with him provides an element of LoveRedeems, as his first thought upon waking up is her safety.]] It still seems like he got off easy, to many fans.
** After the introduction of humanoid Novas and Legendary Pandora the majority of the warriors we've come to know and love in the cast became basically useless in a fight, unable to even injure their enemies. This was averted by the transcendent upgrades but only partially as it was limited to a couple characters and the power-ups still weren't a match to the most powerful of the new enemies. Now in the most recent chapters the transcendent powers are getting stronger, and a means to spread them to more Pandora has emerged.

* CatharsisFactor: After her attempted molestation on Satellizer, Miyabi Kannazuki gets a [[CurbstompBattle well-deserved beatdown]] by a utterly enraged Satellizer as a big payback.

** Louis el Bridget ''shows'' the audience just ''why'' RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil in Volumes 7-8 of the manga... [[{{Squick}} Shiver.]]

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Invoked by Lim-Dall Young himself who seems to make it his mission to put humanity as much a dark light as possible. Most of problems recently were caused by a few people scheming. The last few nova clashes were caused accidentally by human error. Also, apparently, the reason the Nova are even attacking, because PoorCommunicationKills. The government is corrupt, and the leading expert on the Nova is a MagnificentBastard, who uses his own family like pawns. The Pandora, who are supposed to be working together to ward off the Nova threatening humanity, are far more prone to mutilating each other over petty arguments. Even, the MC is starting to [[SanitySlippage lose it]] because of learning his origins. It's gone way past the point that readers have just stopped caring what happens, and some even want the Nova to destroy the world.

** The anime replaces the context of the Pandora Mode: instead of a PowerArmor as seen in the manga, it is simply power-up that glows the entire body.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: The 2nd anime season had this reaction at first for what looked to be the anime producers skipping over the Bridget-sibling arc to adapt the E-Pandora arc; with critics saying that by doing it, it would miss out on much needed CharacterDevelopment for Satellizer. However, part way into the season, it turns out that the producers decided to ''overlap'' the Bridget-sibling arc with the following E-Pandora arc which calmed some of the earlier backlash and now creates a BrokenBase amongst viewers (See Above).
