* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Ranta just a simple-minded and obnoxious jerk who doesn't see his actions having consequences, or is he well aware that the party needs him as a backup tank and that there's not much they can do about it?
** The anime leaves out enough details that, for anime-only viewers, Ranta's jerkass tendencies could be viewed in a slightly better light. WITH the missing info from the light novels though? He comes off as uncaring dunderhead that doesn't think ahead and does things because it amuses him.
* ArcFatigue:
** It took episodes 1-8 for Haruhiro's group to receive their full membership in Crimson Moon. They improved throughout the episodes, but were always fighting just the weakest of monsters (goblins) without ever trying to challenge anything new.
** There's also the fact that the underlying mystery surrounding how they arrived in Grimgar and lost their memories hasn't been addressed, even in the light novels.
* BrokenBase: The use of long montages (we're talking at least several minutes long each) that are silent except for the InsertSong that plays over them. It has come to light that the large number of these montages in the anime's 1st half was because of ExecutiveMeddling as the record company sponsoring the anime has some powerful leverage over the studio and they want to promote their music through these scenes; Shihoru's voice actress even confirmed on her Twitter that dialogue that had been recorded for these scenes was removed to make way for the music. Some viewers enjoy the montages as they are, feeling that they are a great way to show WorldBuilding and a prime example of ShowDontTell in terms of portraying every day life in Grimgar. Others see these montages as a [[{{Padding}} huge waste of time]] that should be spent better developing the characters and moving the plot along.
* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: As with all {{Deconstruction}}s, ''Grimgar'' falls victim to at least some of this trope. The early episodes were especially bad about this, featuring the heroes struggling to survive and failing defeat even low-level monsters. While they do eventually start to make some progress, they continue to suffer many more defeats than victories (most notable instance: [[spoiler:Manato's death]]), and [[BreakTheCutie cutie-breaking]] becomes a frequent occurrence among the members of the group. Not to mention, they still have yet to come close to finding out or even addressing the major mysteries of the plot.
* FanPreferredCouple: Haruhiro and Yume, at least among the anime audience. Yume and Shihoru is also this. Ranta and Shihoru isn't unheard of, either. In addition, a number of novel readers support Haruhiro and Mary.
** ShipTease: The light novel teases with combinations of Haruhiro x Yume, Haruhiro x Mary (one sided from Haruhiro), Haruhiro x Shihoru (one sided from Shihoru), and Ranta x Yume (hints on both sides in the anime, but mostly from Ranta). There's definitely friendly skinship between Yume and Shihoru, though it's always Yume who initiates it. And the last episode of the anime also got in on the [[http://i.imgur.com/bkbg7fq.jpg Haruhiro x Mary]] action.
* FriendlyFandoms: Seems to have one with ''LightNovel/KonoSubarashiiSekaiNiShukufukuO'': they aired in the same season, and ''Kono Suba'' and ''Grimgar'' are {{Deconstruction}}s of the very popular PowerFantasy of "average guy gets transported to a fantasy world where he becomes TheChosenOne and gets lots of hot girls fawning for him." ''Grimgar'' plays the premise [[DeconstructorFleet very seriously]], while ''Kono Suba's'' treatment is that of [[DeconstructiveParody self-aware comedy.]]
* LesYay: Yume and Shihoru, though mostly on Yume's side. Particularly when Yume does things like [[https://45.media.tumblr.com/6dc7f2bce930d171cbf4a5db1545b321/tumblr_o0rxssp9081rcufwuo1_500.gif this]].
* LoveItOrHateIt:
** Opinion on this series is ''extremely'' divided. On one hand, there are viewers and a lot of critics saying this is one of the greatest examples of the "trapped in a fantasy world/video game" genre made and towers over titles like ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', ''LightNovel/Overlord2012'', and ''LightNovel/DanMachi'' for being DarkerAndEdgier and eschewing the PowerFantasy / WishFulfillment elements commonly found, as well as the LowFantasy setting being [[DeconstructorFleet much more realistic.]] On the other hand, there are just as many viewers who slam the show for [[ProlongedPrologue very slow pacing]], [[FlatCharacter flat characterization]], assert that it's not really ''[[DeconReconSwitch that]]'' [[DeconReconSwitch much more realistic]] than the previous examples above, and feel that the attempt to avert Power Fantasy goes too far and ends up making the characters look overly incompetent.
** The art style is another big issue. You either find it beautiful, or too washed-out and unfitting for the series.
* MemeticMutation: A minor one, but [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments Ranta's big moment]] in Episode 11 triggered comparisons to [[http://i.imgur.com/OlqsFRb.jpg a certain other Dark Knight trapped in a Pit...]]
* RootingForTheEmpire: Some viewers find themselves siding or at least sympathizing with the goblins, since it appears that they're just minding their own business and only defending themselves when they keep getting attacked by asshole humans who keep killing them and stealing their loot. Got even worse with the kobolds in the Cyrene Mine, as they have an organized society and well-kept agricultural fields, and Haruhiro even acknowledges that he and his party are the invaders.
* TheScrappy: It is rare to find a fan of the series who actually likes Ranta. Most fans find him to be a loud, obnoxious creep that the party would be better off without. [[spoiler: There are also those annoyed that he's still alive in the series while more well liked characters like Manato and Moguzo were killed off.]]
** RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: His reputation got a major boost among the anime viewers when he rescued Haruhiro from falling in the Cyrene Mine, and prepared to pull off a LastStand against the hordes of Kobolds and Death Spots. Earlier in the series he got a smaller nudge when he apologised to Shihoru after upsetting her with his cold remarks.
* SuperlativeDubbing: When Creator/FUNimation uploaded the clip for the broadcast dub it was met to completely positive reception in the comments section. Viewers were fond of how [=FUNimation=] chose to cast newcomers into the main character roles as opposed to the veterans [=FUNimation=] usually casts and how these new voice actors were pitch perfect matches with the Japanese voices. Some have gone as far as to say that its been the best broadcast dub [=FUNimation=] has put out since their launch.
* TaintedByThePreview: The [=PVs=] painted the show as similar to ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', causing many to swear it off before it aired. When the first episode aired, the overall relaxing tone proved completely different.
** And on the other end, many people expecting fast paced action like in SAO were disappointed at ''Grimgar's'' slower pace.
* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Whether you love or hate the show, the opinion is rather unanimous that the show's art style looks absolutely gorgeous.

On one hand, there are viewers and a lot of critics saying this is one of the greatest examples of the "trapped in a fantasy world/video game" genre made and towers over titles like ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', ''LightNovel/{{Overlord}}'', ''LightNovel/Overlord2012'', and ''LightNovel/DanMachi'' for being DarkerAndEdgier and eschewing the PowerFantasy / WishFulfillment elements commonly found, as well as the LowFantasy setting being [[DeconstructorFleet much more realistic.]] On the other hand, there are just as many viewers who slam the show for [[ProlongedPrologue very slow pacing]], [[FlatCharacter flat characterization]], assert that it's not really ''[[DeconReconSwitch that]]'' [[DeconReconSwitch much more realistic]] than the previous examples above, and feel that the attempt to avert Power Fantasy goes too far and ends up making the characters look overly incompetent.

*AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Ranta just a simple-minded and obnoxious jerk who doesn't see his actions having consequences, or is he well aware that the party needs him as a backup tank and that there's not much they can do about it?

* SuperlativeDubbing: When Creator/FUNimation uploaded the clip for the broadcast dub it was met to completely positive reception in the comments section. Viewers were fond of how FUNimation chose to cast newcomers into the main character roles as opposed to the veterans FUNimation usually casts and how these new voice actors were pitch perfect matches with the Japanese voices. Some have gone as far as to say that its been the best broadcast dub FUNimation has put out since their launch.

* ArcFatigue: It took episodes 1-8 for Haruhiro's group to receive their full membership in Crimson Moon. They improved throughout the episodes, but were always fighting just the weakest of monsters (goblins) without ever trying to challenge anything new.
