History YMMV / MagicalRecordLyricalNanohaFORCE

** BoringInvincibleVillain: And they're this as well.

* JumpingTheShark / RuinedFOREVER: ''Force'' is the season with the biggest amount of backlash to date. It elicited this reaction for having a heterosexual male lead and supposedly dropping the magical girl tropes. Not to mention they put some of the most cheered characters this franchise have in real danger of suffering BadassDecay, starting with [[spoiler:[[LadyOfWar Signum]]]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Touma became a fugitive from the TSAB by breaking into the lab, stealing the Divider, and escaping with Lily. This might have led to [[spoiler:Subaru]] weighing her bond with Touma against her duty to arrest him, as well as Touma fleeing from the Bureau while having the SympatheticPOV, but [[spoiler:Touma eventually loses control of himself to the Eclipse, and it becomes about having to try to get through to him]], rather than him trying to protect Lily and escape the Bureau.

* ReplacementScrappy: Tohma has drawn a lot of fire for being a [[CursedWithAwesome very typical, male, angst-ridden main character]] with a StoryBreakerPower [[AssPull pulled out of nowhere]] that can beat out [[InvincibleHero the established and well-developed main characters of previous seasons]] with little effort.

** Cypha's caught a lot of flak for handing [[spoiler: Signum]] her first real defeat, and for being [[{{Understatement}} kind of a bitch about it]]. When it was announced that ''VideoGame/GearsOfDestiny'' will feature ''Force'' characters, many were hoping Cypha would be included, so they can [[CatharsisFactor beat the crap out of her.]]

** Curren as started to catch the attention of part of the fanbase just because of this.

** The Huckebein in general have been accused of being a ReplacementScrappy for the A's-era Wolkenritter, as they hit many of the same general tropes regarding motivation and

* JerkassWoobie: The Huckebein may have been meant to be seen as this, but their attitude towards killing, lack of redeeming features and little emphasis on their plight prevents them from being sympathetically.

*** Made [[BeyondTheImpossible even more worse]] [[WaveMotionGun by the fact they don't even create awesome energy beams either]].

** And many more hate those even more because they didn't even manage to keep up with the villains.

** Lots of people however like the AEC Equipment simply because they look badass.

** Not true; lots of people like the AEC Equipment which look really badass.

* ReplacementScrappy: Tohma has drawn fire for being a male main character with a potential heterosexual love interest.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Until his profile came out, nearly everyone was convinced that Fortis was female. With his large eyes, dress-like robe, and feminine hairstyle, it's an easy mistake to make. Ironically, fortis can be translated from Latin as "manly".

* JerkassWoobie: The Huckebein may have been meant to be seen as this, but their attitude towards kiling, lack of redeeming features and little emphasis on their plight prevents them from being sympathetically.

When it was announced that ''Game/GearsOfDestiny'' will feature ''Force'' characters, many were hoping Cypha would be included, so they can [[CatharsisFactor beat the crap out of her.]]

** Curren probably beat Precia's record for instant hatedom, considering the chapter with her first appearance wasn't even translated yet and people already wanted her to die. For ''{{Twilight}}'' haters, her name being the same as a certain sparkly vampire is just the icing on the cake. The reason? [[spoiler:Debuting by instantly impaling Hayate in the back]].

** Arnage also has some love, unlike almost all the other members of her family.

* FanNickname: Arnage has been called [[MobileSuitGundamWing Heavyarms-tan]] or [[TeamFortress2 Heavy Weapons Girl]] in the western fandom, due to the reacted form of her Divider.
