** The licenses taken by Kyoto Animation at adapting the light novel to anime received some flak. Many people, especially abroad, saw the change to a LighterAndSofter tone and the insertion of multiple [[CanonForeigner canon foreigners]] as an attempt to replicate Kyoani's older success ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'' by forcing what essentially is a new [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya SOS Brigade]]. Ironically, it ended up working, with the series becoming just the success Kyoto Animation needed at the time, to the point the anime's version of the story

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: [[spoiler:Shinka]] is arguably more obsessed than the rest of the cast when it comes to creating a separate identity for herself. Over the course of the anime series, she signs up as the class representative, joins several different clubs, dyes her hair, and attempts to become president of the student council. All of this is done in order to establish herself as something other than a chuuni, but ironically could arguably be classified as just a different kind of chuuni.

** The series' finale given in the ''Take On Me'' movie. Some were finally satisfied, at least with the leads' relationship, while others weren't, and complained that it introduced unnecesary developments and left too many things on the air.

Added DiffLines:

* ValuesDissonance: Touka's physical abuse of Rikka probably comes off lighter to a Japanese audience, as Japan considers it simply discipline to smack or punch a misbehaving youngster. Most Western audiences likely find her use of physical force and the emotional terror it generates to be borderline monstrous.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Touka receives positive response by fans for being the [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]] among a group of offbeat characters and grounding them before things took too far. However, a portion of fans are displeased with her for being a JerkAss to Rikka and her friends even if she didn't mean to. This gets worse as many now loathe Touka for bringing unwanted drama, causing Rikka's plight in the final few episodes of the first season and by the end, she gets off scot-free for what she did.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: While letting Rikka continue with her 8th grade syndrome delusions is unhealthy, Yuta makes a fair point that forcing her to normalcy can be just as bad and might be even worse. Episode 11 of the 1st seasons shows really how bad such a situation might be for not just to Rikka but to everyone.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Played literally, despite being very lighthearted and not very violent, both of the anime adaptations are rated "TV-MA" when streamed on Hulu. This is highly unusual, because on IMDB it is rated "TV-G". While it may not be the best show for young children to watch, it certainly doesn't warrant a "mature" label. "TV-14", which's the show's rating in Hidive, is probably the ideal rating.
