History YMMV / KatamariDamacy

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: Even if it's accidental, the King is directly responsible for everything bad that happens in the series, yet the fans adore him for how [[RefugeInAudacity delightfully bizarre]] a character he is. The King's father, on the other hand, is widely unpopular due to his [[ParentalNeglect neglectful treatment]] of the King and never giving him [[WellDoneSonGuy any respect]], whereas the King is willing to give the Prince at least a ''[[OverlyNarrowSuperlative modicum]]'' of respect.

** The [[DownloadableContent Katamari Damacy Series Music Pack]] from ''We ♥ Katamari REROLL'' has proven to be rather divisive. While most fans are in agreement that getting to listen to songs from the entire series in a single installment is a fantastic idea, the execution has fans split. One group likes the overall pack, happy that it includes several fan-favorite songs such as "Katamari on the Rocks", "Lonely Rolling Star", "Guru Guru Gravity", and "Everlasting Love + You". A second group, while acknowledging the good song choices, also considers many of the song choices to be questionable at best, as songs such as the aforementioned "Cherry Tree Times" ended up making it in over other fan-favorites such as "Que Sera Sera", "Angel Gifts", and "Katamari Dancing" (the last one being a particularly odd omission, as it's the only theme song from the series not to be featured in the pack). And finally, a third group hates the pack, as they would've preferred having every game's soundtrack included rather than only having 5 songs selected from each game. Platform/{{Steam}} users were even ''less'' kind to the pack, as they were hoping that the DLC would also include [=MP3s=] of the songs instead of only being able to listen to them in-game.

* BizarroEpisode: ''Touch my Katamari'' is considered bizarre, even by ''Katamari'' standards. The art direction (outside of the stages themselves) is a big reason for this, as it incorporates both Keita Takahashi's newer artstyle[[note]]which doesn't really resemble Katamari's established art style[[/note]] and animation work from the art group AC-bu.[[note]]who are well known for their over-the-top style, their work including the famous pop music video ''Gal-O Sengen'' and contributions to ''Pop Team Epic''.[[/note]] To show off the power of the Playstation Vita, Namco also had the character models remade, with the King himself [[https://s3.amazonaws.com/prod-media.gameinformer.com/styles/body_default/s3/legacy-images/imagefeed/Touch%20My%20Katamari%20Intro%20May%20Make%20You%20Want%20To%20Roll%20Into%20A%20Ball/katamari1116-610.jpg being made into 3D]] (which was widely seen as uncanny). This also came with some consequences, as the game was a launch title, and Namco didn't have time to make high-quality models for every cousin, resulting in the bizarre decision to merge several cousin designs together (such as June and Kuro, Velvet and Drooby, Foomin and Daisy, etc.). The game's music, while having some more standard ''Katamari'' fare, even includes some very off-the-wall tracks, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyTH27VIKNQ Alien]] being a notable example.
