YMMV / Bodacious Space Pirates

Go To

  • Aluminum Christmas Trees: "Legal pirates" seems ridiculous, until you hit the history books about Privateers.
  • Awesome Music: The score. Mainly Daikoukai Jidai, the bit of music playing during the Introduction Sequences and Next Time trailers of each episode.
    • The ear worm of an opening and (regular) ending could also count.
      • Especially the full version of the opening.
      • The full version of the ending is pretty much the definition of Awesome Music. You know, if you cranked the trope up to eleven.
    • Hakuoh Jogakuin, the Leitmotif of Jenny and the Yacht Club, which plays the Adventurous Irish Violins to the hilt.
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In episode 25, the chef is accompanied by twelve-foot tall humans who shake the ground with every step. Nobody notices or comments on it.
  • Crack Ship: Chiaki/Parfait. Given her Les Yay with Marika, some have suggested a three-way relationship. Four-way if you include Gruier. Just three consenting girls and a consenting chocolate dessert.
    • Marika/Hat.
  • Fan Nickname: Grunhilde Serenity is sometimes referred to as "Loli Char" due to the uniform she was wearing when she was first introduced, which, combined with her hair and eye color, eerily resembled the titular character.
  • Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Marika, so much in the yuri fandom.
  • Les Yay: Quite subtle aside from Jenny and Lynn. Marika/Chiaki. Marika/Gruiernote  Marika/Mami. No wonder some fans joke about Marika's "harem".
  • LGBT Fanbase: The anime has gotten some attention from the yuri fandom thanks to its large amount of female cast and the fact that Word of God stated that there is no romance. Yuri fans presumed that he meant "there is no male/female romance", especially after Jenny and Lynn started exploring each other's tonsils onscreen. And with that said, Marika gets shipped with a lot of girls, specifically Chiaki, Gruier, Grunhilde, and Mami. Interestingly enough, Marika and all those girls are seen together in one part of the ED sequence.
