* HePannedItNowHeSucks:
** His ''Literature/FateZero'' earned negative feedback from a number of fans, not because of his review of ''Zero'' itself, he liked the show and sang its praises for about ninety percent of the video, but for his out of nowhere ranting about ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. His pain point seemed to be that ''Zero'' was such a good show, that having the more "generic" high-school drama setting for the next one made it much worse, but this earned criticism from fans as many felt it was out of place and seemed to just be taking an unfair jab at the game.
** His 'Fall of Mecha Anime' video caused a stir amongst HumongousMecha fandom, who thought that Gigguk just barely scratched the surface of mecha anime in general and only basing the 'fall' on some BrokenBase-filled shows (some with controversial elements) like ''Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator'', ''Anime/CrossAnge'', ''Anime/AldnoahZERO'' and ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx''. But especially when he stated that the mecha anime were based on 'hard to get into' hobby of Gunpla building, to which some mecha fandom happily showcased that non-mecha fans like LetsPlay/PewDiePie bought a Gunpla model, successfully built on it and enjoyed it despite not being a mecha fan. Regardless, ever since that video aired, Gigguk's reputation kinda soured to some mecha anime fans; though, that has since been dampened a bit upon his praise of ''Literature/EightySixEightySix'' in 2021, and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury'' in 2022.

* IKnewIt: In early 2016, after he uploaded the second part of his 2015 recap he uploaded a few more videos to Website/YouTube around the same time. This lead a lot of his viewers to believe that he was going to make videos regularly again.

** His 'Fall of Mecha Anime' video caused a stir amongst HumongousMecha fandom, who thought that Gigguk just barely scratched the surface of mecha anime in general and only basing the 'fall' on some BrokenBase-filled shows (some with controversial elements) like ''Anime/ValvraveTheLiberator'', ''Anime/CrossAnge'', ''Anime/AldnoahZERO'' and ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx''. But especially when he stated that the mecha anime were based on 'hard to get into' hobby of Gunpla building, to which some mecha fandom happily showcased that non-mecha fans like LetsPlay/PewDiePie bought a Gunpla model, successfully built on it and enjoyed it despite not being a mecha fan. Regardless, ever since that video aired, Gigguk's reputation kinda soured to some mecha anime fans; though, that has since been dampened a bit upon his praise of ''Literature/EightySixEightySix'' and ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamTheWitchFromMercury''.
