YMMV / LoliRock

• Accidental Innuendo: The very title of the series, Lolirock. Even if Word of God is that the first part of the name comes from "LOL", many internet users don't buy it, and instead believe it was probably a mistake that led the producers to use a piece of Japanese slang without knowing that said slang is sexually charged and morally controversial. The way the characters are drawn doesn't really help.
• Adorkable: It's not always there, but Mephisto is definitely this. Not only is he excited by very mundane human things like cameras and quarters, but despite being a villain, he's afraid of both the dark and ghosts.
  "Ooh, Praxina! A human just gave me this shiny metal disc just for tossing some crystals in the air! Amazing!"
• Alternative Character Interpretation:
  • Some of Gramorr's interactions with Banes suggest Banes is smarter than he looks. This either means Banes is the true enemy, and Gramorr knows this, but dies with the secret at the end. More evidenced by the fact that their last look at each other is somewhat of Banes saying "You have failed me for the last time."
  • Mephisto and Praxina seem to always find new ways to gain power. It is obvious that they plan to overthrow Gramorr in "Princess Brenda", but getting the Book of Spells or using new power from Gramorr could possibly be used so they could try and take him over.
• Awesome Art: The art of the show is high quality, from the cute character designs to the shining magic battles. The transformations are also pretty awesome, if a bit blinding.
• Ass Pull:
  • The Power Booster in "Batty" seems to come out of nowhere, even though the Princesses and the Twins know about it very well.
  • There's also the sudden appearance of Lyna and Carissa. While they are last-minute additions to the show, they seem to just be automatically written in, having little backstory like the rest of the Princesses.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Iris's power-up in "Stitches". She uses it to destroy the monster's stinger, but it is never brought up again.
• Crosses the Line Twice: In "Castles In The Sand", Talia and Auriana compare surfing to a sport back on Ephedia, and mention how all the competitors were eaten, talking about it like it was something they were used to on Ephedia.
• Fan-Preferred Couple:
  • Mephisto has all but admitted to a crush on Auriana, but fans seem to much, much prefer him with Talia, whom he barely interacts with.
  • Fans also like the idea of Mephisto and Iris together. This is mostly stems from the fact that the Monster of the Week makes Mephisto fall in love with Iris in the third episode during a battle and in Season 2 where Mephisto himself stating that if he wasn't working for Gramorr, he would have no problem working alongside her.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In "Xeris", Mephisto mistakes Izira's name for Ezra. Come Season 2, where a new character named Ezra is introduced.
• Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Auriana, who is shipped with everyone, boys and girls alike.
• No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: As said above, the very title of the series is awkwardly funny, though it might have helped somewhat to the show's popularity given that most of its expectation before its premiere in Disney Channel came from older viewers exhilarated at it and wanting to find out what was it about.
• So Okay, It's Average: General consensus is that it's not a bad show and has a very nice art style and animation with some nice music to boot. But if one has seen any other magical girl show, this one doesn't bring anything new to the table that hasn't already been covered in others (amnesiac heroine who happens to be a princess from another world is taken over by evil, bumbling henchmen, conflicts that tie into the plot of the episode, etc). Slow plot progression is also noted to be a factor — heck, the Season 1 finale pretty much resets the progression, forcing the girls to find the gems again and leaving them no closer to stopping the Big Bad. Only difference now was that they have two new members.
• They Copied It, So It Sucks!: Most detractors of the show don't find it any better then Sailor Moon or Winx Club, seeing nothing really unique about it save the Awesome Art. In Spain, the only Spanish-speaking country where it was released, comparisons with Angel's Friends came inevitably too due to a slight case of Dueling Shows with them.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character:
  • Carissa and Lyna both were introduced as very interesting characters in Home Parts I and II, and were even sent to help the girls on Earth for Season 2, but then almost never used outside a few spotlight episodes. Lyna moreso than Carissa, though. Carissa is the only one who gets two episodes to herself.
  • Similarly with Lev. He was shown to be a villain at the end of Season 1, but in Season 2, he only appears in the two-parter "Stop in the Name of Lev", where he is left to fight Gramorr alone, possibly killing him.
  • Aunt Ellen/Ellira in Season 2. After it is revealed she is Ephedian, she hardly gets any action, and only reveals herself in the season finale.
  • Kyle. He only appears in one episode of Season 1, where Talia loosens up, and in another single episode of Season 2, where he is once again the Victim of the Week. His relationship with Talia doesn't seem to progress any further than it already has with her fumbling around him.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: What ever happened to Iris’ magical singing voice? They could’ve explored more of it or at least it be a recurring part of her skillset, or just at least let her use it in episodes after To Find A Princess, even just once. But nope, they decided to sweep that under the rug. Did her voice just stop doing things after she transformed for the first time? The world may never know.
