History YMMV / BlueGender

* {{Moe}}: Alicia

* InternetBackdraft: Don't ask about the ending. Really, just don't.
** Actually, the series itself seems to be a source of great {{Troll}}ing on most {{anime}} sites.

* EsotericHappyEnding The ending could only be considered happy if [[spoiler: [[LuddWasRight you're a severe technophobe]]. A few humans have survived GaiasVengeance, and they can all live in harmony with mother nature, [[ScienceIsBad free at last of technology]]! Then the FridgeLogic sets in - the only survivors will be physically strong people. If you're a person who is crippled, blind, deaf, has a curable terminal disease, etc. then you're hosed. MotherNature hates you and you have no right to live]].

* DesignatedVillain: [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters Humanity itself]] is eventually portrayed this way, where [[spoiler:[[GaiasVengeance the Earth itself]] is spawning [[BigCreepyCrawlies the Blue]], horrific monsters, for the sole purpose of [[KillAllHumans killing all humanity]] for [[ScienceIsBad daring to develop technology that elevated humans above the natural order]] (and also overpopulating). In particular, the leaders of the space colonies, Chairman Victor and the [[TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness High Council]], are demonized and made into the BigBad for the grave crime of wanting to leave the bug-infested Earth (which had apparently decided to kill them all itself) behind for good and wanting to keep technology, while Seno Miyagi and his group of humans who try and flee Earth to settle on more hospitable planets elsewhere in the galaxy [[StrawmanHasAPoint are portrayed as]] [[DirtyCoward the worst of the worst]], and all of them wind up going insane and “karmically” dying]].

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Are the humans who [[spoiler:go nuts at the end being driven mad by Gaia, or did they just go stir crazy because Seno Miyagi declared that they would never return to Earth?]] Given the [[GainaxEnding mystifying nature]] of the last episode, it's kind of hard to tell.

* GrowingTheBeard - For quite a few fans, the series improved sharply around episodes 10 and 11, when Yuji and Marlene escaped to space.
* InternetBackdraft - Don't ask about the ending. Really, just don't.

* MagnificentBastard - Seno Miyagi, a rare mostly benevolent example.
* MemeticMutation - The Blues looking like an "Angry Woman's Crotch." An Creator/AdultSwim card referenced this during the first airing of the series, and while people had brought up allusions to VaginaDentata with the Blue previously, this really exploded.

* {{Moe}} - Alicia

* BrokenAesop: Sure, we can live in harmony with the planet! ...Just as long as we get rid of any tech created in the last 5000 years, that is. Using that tech to solve the problem is a big no-no!

* FreudWasRight: The Blue's mouths look like female genitals (outer female genitals) and their weak spot is a [[DoesThisRemindYouofAnything tube that is destroyed by shooting or stabbing it]], though, for a series like this, this actually works, as it shows humanity is more passionate about fighting for survival than it is loving and bonding with others.

* AwesomeMusic: The OP [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2ONHDDsJW8 Tokihanate!]], and the ED [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccAuSX4eoh4 Love Taught Me]].
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbwoBQTc23o English]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_4qLMED0_c versions]] are considered by some to be better than the originals.

* MartyStu - Yuji Kaido throws morally self-righteous tantrums at everyone and barely ever suffers any consequence for it. Everyone goes on about how strong he is, yet most of what we see him doing is bouncing bullets uselessly off armour plating and emptying rounds wastefully into immobile corpses. At least three women fall for him, two of them pretty much instantly, all despite him being whiny, pathetic and generally ineffectual. He even tries to kill Marlene and never answers for it.

* FreudWasRight: The Blue's mouths look like a certain [[VaginaDentata part of the female anatomy]] and their weak spot is a [[DoesThisRemindYouofAnything tube that is destroyed by shooting or stabbing it]], though, for a series like this, this actually works, as it shows humanity is more passionate about fighting for survival than it is loving and bonding with others.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbwoBQTc23o English]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_4qLMED0_c versions]] are considered by some to be even better than the originals.

* FreudWasRight: '''The Blue'''. Their mouths look like a certain [[VaginaDentata part of the female anatomy]], and their weak spot is a [[DoesThisRemindYouofAnything small fleshy tube that is destroyed by shooting or stabbing]] it.

* NightmareFuel - So, so much.

* NightmareFuelUnleaded - So, so much.

** At least, [[YourMilageMayVary that's one way to interpret it]].

* LoveItOrHateIt - This is either a good show despite [[BrokenAesop its]] [[HollywoodTactics flaws]], or it's a complete piece of garbage with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.
