History YMMV / AnimeGataris

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: May be invoked on the series' part; various OST tracks from other anime have clear influence in the OST for ''Gataris''. For example, while Minoa and Arisa are handing out fliers in bunny costumes, the track used for it sounds very similar to ''LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya'''s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xuXaZfGUY0&index=3&list=PLmDjI9x77ae9z4EAfNhN3BByxx3AVE0dC Oi Oi Oi]]".

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: While the meta references were well liked by the American viewerbase, the Japanese audience found it less interesting than the previous episodes of the series, with viewership peaking and dropping around episode 7.[[note]] Some speculated that it might not have been the show itself; that particular season had a glut of meta-referencing shows on (''Literature/ASisterIsAllYouNeed'' was based on a light novel about light novelists, ''Anime/OsomatsuSan'' had its first cour opener be all about making successful franchises, and that's not even scratching the surface of ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'''s Slip Arc), so when this show started upping the meta, it seemed to stand out less among them.[[/note]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Many fans were expecting [[spoiler: a live-action sequence of sorts about the characters entering the real world.]] It's too bad that that never happened.
* WhatAnIdiot: [[spoiler: Nakano]] has an EmbarrassingFirstName he doesn't want anyone to know. Desperate to find a way to change it, he unexpectedly runs into some bullheaded options.
** '''You'd Expect:''' He tells the others what his preferred first name is, [[spoiler: since all he would have to do is use the intended reading rather than the "kira-kira" AlternateCharacterReading.]] Given all the anime he's seen ([[spoiler:and most likely lived through]]), he should be able to pull this off since it would be similar to, say, the in-universe naming convention problems of [[spoiler:[[Manga/AssassinationClassroom Masayoshi/Justice]] or [[Literature/SoundEuphonium Midori/Sapphire]].]]
** '''Instead:''' [[spoiler: He tries to destroy damn near everything, reasoning that ''[[NeverMyFault the world]]'' should've changed his name. He then attempts to fuse reality with anime so a development team can rewrite his name in the planning phase, only for the people in the new reality to saddle him with his old one anyway when he gives up.]]

* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: The {{Trope Overdos|ed}}ing of the show following the WhamEpisode and the [[spoiler:2D world beginning to take over the real world]] has led to many fan interpretations, from being a vision of the future to symbolizing an {{Otaku}} becoming consumed by his addictions to the point of not being able to tell what is real and what is not anymore.
