YMMV / The Reflection

Go To

  • Broken Base: X-On and Eleanor's part of the story. Is it a decent mystery with a well rounded cast, or a mess due to the feeling of little being accomplished, little to no foreshadowing or clues to the villain's plot, and X-On's rather weak character development (or character at all).
  • Suspiciously Similar Song: During Trevor Horn's Creator Cameo in Episode 4, a piece similar to The Buggles' "The Plastic Age" can be heard playing in the background. Horn produced the show's soundtrack, so this is definitely intentional.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: In between the story of X-On and Eleanor's quest to stop Wraith and I-Guy's adventures, there is a third plot line concerning a quartet of Japanese High School girls who are Reflected who fight crime as magical girl themed heroes...However this plot line has gotten VERY minimal screen time, as it's not until the last episode that the girls show up in costume and join the fight. Otherwise, their scenes are very brief glimpses into their normal daily lives, with little focus on them as characters or their heroics. Given the colorful costumes seen in production art this feels like a lot of wasted opportunity given how much of a Broken Base X-On and Eleanor's plot line is (which takes up the majority of the plot).
