YMMV / Idol Angel Yokoso Yoko

Go To

  • Americans Hate Tingle: In Italy, it was so unpopular that Canale 5 moved it to Italia 1 because of low ratings. It never aired again.
  • Anvilicious: The Green Aesop episode has Daichi tell Yoko and Saki that if they don't care for the environment, then in 30 years the oxygen level of the Earth will drop by 3%, and that means the smiles will disappear from people's faces (and not, you know, the standard of living being impacted). Yoko swears to protect nature. To ham it in, her wish to Santa Claus that Christmas is to make Earth a greener place.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: The sponsors of the anime disliked Saki because they had anticipated that Yoko was going to be the star of the series, and produced Yoko-themed merchandise. When the anime aired, Saki's popularity dwarfed Yoko's (though Shudo claims their popularity is the same), which angered the sponsors and they told him to cut down Saki's appearances. Shudo called this the "Saki Yamamori assassination order incident".
  • Genius Bonus: Haruka speaks of a comet that appears once every 70 years.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: The anime seems to eerily have predicted the web giant hololive, with the number of Bizarro Episodes (Yoko suddenly bumping into a self-proclaimed God, for example), the colourful character designs and masses of Costume Porn and the In-Universe Reality Subtext that the girls weave into their careers.
  • Quirky Work: This anime actually WAS made by someone on drugs. Takeshi Shudō had a substance abuse problem and would delegate the job of scriptwriting to different people, hence the jarred and inconsistent structure of the anime.
