** Satoru, Kirin's father. There are those who find his LargeHam personality hilarious, and those who don't like how much of an OverprotectiveDad he is towards Kirin and think that the HypocriticalHumor surrounding him (that he thinks all men are "beasts" who are after his daughter, but he'll still hit on other women himself) isn't very funny.

* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Kotaro is unusually quiet for a child his age, and when he does speak, it's very little and in broken sentences. He's been strangely quiet ever since he was a baby, which made Ryūichi worry at the time. This has made fans conclude that A) his vocabulary isn't fully developed yet, B) he is a really quiet child, or C) he has selective mutism.

Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


** Of all the babies, Taka is the most divisive. His acting up, constant loudness, and refusal to listen to Kamitani tend to frustrate many fans, especially since the other daycare kids are more well behaved by comparison. However, some aren't too bothered by his behavior since having a more realistically bratty kid in the cast keeps the story from getting [[TastesLikeDiabetes too saccharine]].

** Whenever a kid gets lost, expect yourself and the series to start filling itself with AdultFear. The very idea of a toddler alone in a public place can shake someone who has already had to take care of one to their core.

* MisaimedFandom: The hatedom behind Yagi (or how the manga depicts him) can be divided into two factions: those who know the author tries to portray him as a NiceGuy with a genuine CutenessProximity for kids (stemming from when Nezu and his baby brothers kept him company when his parents couldn't be there for his birthday a long time ago) but still can't stand the unnecessary MistakenForPedophile jokes that come with it (whether it be the nosebleeds or the characters calling him a pervert), and those who see him as a full-blown creep. The outrage is warranted but only the first lot acknowledge that it's the author's fault for thinking pairing nosebleed gags with children are tasteful to begin with, and that Yagi himself would be decent without them.

** In Chapter 7/Episode 4B when Ryuuichi has a [[DreamSequence nightmare about the last time he sees his parents before they go on the plane they die on]]. Except that to make things more terrifying, the parents take Kotarou with them. Knowing they die Ryuuichi gets more worked up as Kotarou is his last living family member and all Ryuichi can do is watch and pound at an invisible wall stopping him from saving his toddler sibling. By the time the door closes and we are back to visuals of Ryuuichi in bed, we get a harder reestablishment that [[HatesBeingAlone Ryuuichi's greatest fear is losing his little brother and being left alone.]]

** Kamitani constantly hits his baby brother Taka when he acts up. This is meant to be PlayedForLaughs, but Western viewers may not find the act to be at all humorous, even when (or especially when) it's depicted as harmless. This could be attributed to the more lenient attitudes toward family discipline in Japan, where striking one's child is generally frowned upon, but not considered grounds to call Child Services except in extreme cases. This is made considerably worse when Taka smacks his younger cousin Tsumugi for breaking his prized toy sword, when Taka only wanted to be a good older brother in his own right. This is further muddied by Kamitani also hitting [[WouldHitAGirl Kirin]] at one point - hitting his kid brother is bad enough, but a little girl not even related to him is a big no-no, though at least in that case he's called out on it.

* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: A lot of what the babies say is nice on the ears, since the voice acting makes them look absolutely adorable. For example is the way Kotarou says "Nii-cha", and how he says "A~gatou" (because he can't pronounce "arigatou") in episode 5.

* FanficFuel: Chapter 84 narrates a dream of Usaida's in which all children and teens have their ages swapped; Ryuuichi, Kamitani, Nezu, Inomata, Ushimaru and Yagi are toddlers and Saikawa is the baby, while Takuma, Kazuma, Taka, Kotarou and Kirin are in middle school and Midori is a teacher. Combined with the endcards of the anime revealing their age-swapped appearances, works about it aren't uncommon.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Midori doesn’t have as much attention compared to the other daycare children since [[JustifiedTrope she's just a baby]] which makes it harder to have stories focusing on her. Nevertheless, her being the youngest of the group would make for other interesting unexplored storylines, for example her relationship with the older kids, her taking her first steps into toddlerhood, and even her family (who themselves are not as developed as the others).
