History YMMV / NamcoHigh

** The bad ending, in which you and your romantic partner [[spoiler: lose the fight against Evil Namco High. Jesus, [[https://24.media.tumblr.com/9fba46ca625b437b23831bfb7c83431e/tumblr_my32c1C5rz1qki1rdo1_500.jpg this picture hurts.]] You can see Lolo's skull decoration, Valkyrie's sword, and a few other students' weapons...but worst of all is Cousin's katamari ball, which lays with a little bit of color shining on it as opposed to the grey everywhere else. Oh, and it doesn't help that this picture was used for the "Namco High is shutting down" picture, so if you've played the game there are a LOT of UnfortunateImplications with some FridgeBrilliance: the reason ShiftyLook existed was to boost up old Namco franchises and make them popular to a modern audience. And considering the only thing that resulted in it was Wonder Momo getting her own game, all the other franchises basically DIED. Ouch.]]

** Meowkie's story arc, where you learn [[spoiler: she's become an ExtremeDoormat due to her family's reputation as art thieves, and refuses to get angry even when other students repeatedly blame her for things they've done.]] In the ending, where she becomes a BadassAdorable and learns [[spoiler: it's okay to get angry at people who treat you like crap]], hits a special cord if you've ever been in a similar situation.

* HoYay: While pretty much ''any'' interaction could count as this depending on how you interpret Cousin's gender, especially during the introductory scene, there's rather a lot of this between Hiromi and Toby in her route (Toby being, despite the name, female), and one of Valkyrie's first lines is to make a fairly blatant pass at Meowkie while winking hugely.

* CargoShip: Canon example, if choosing to pursue Donko (the Taiko drum from TaikoNoTatsujin) or [[VideoGame/{{Galaga}} Galaga]].

* CrackShip: Practically supports this. Shipping ''anyone'' with the Galaga ship is utterly insane.

* Tearjerker: Davesprite's ending. [[spoiler: Davesprite essentially insinuates that he remains aware that the game has reset at the start of a New Game and the Cousin has forgotten all about their relationship; it makes his initial comment at the start of the game much HarsherInHindsight.]]

* TaintedByThePreview: Some people were turned off by the idea due to Hussie's presence.
** By that same token, Hussie's involvement sold many others on the idea, in spite of it being a DatingSim (a notoriously unpopular genre outside of Japan), and a particularly strange one at that.

** Alternately, others were ''encouraged'' by Hussie, in spite of the game being a DatingSim (a notoriously unpopular genre outside of Japan) and a particularly strange one at that.
* WTHCastingAgency: Non-actor example, but pretty much everyone had this reaction when it was announced Hussie was doing a DatingSim. Apparently, the people at Website/ShiftyLook wanted Hussie to do something, and he suggested the genre.
