History YMMV / Himegoto

* {{Squick}}: Kaguya is shown to be openly sexually attracted to his own brother.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The anime is a wacky ecchi comedy about a [[DudeLooksLikeALady feminine boy]]...who is bullied, sexually harassed, and forced to crossdress by three assertive student council members. Now you know the first reason why the anime bombed (the second being the truly shoddy quality, making some people suspect it was actively sabotaged).

* {{Squick}}: Kaguya is openly sexually attracted to his own brother. Just...ew.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Hime and Kaguya's parents ''never'' appear and that plotline is rarely addressed.
* ValuesDissonance:
** People unfamiliar with Japanese gender roles may be uncomfortable with the way Hime is treated.
** The show goes out of its way to keep with its DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale leanings, and while this is semi-typical in Japanese comedies, it's taken to uncomfortable and cruel heights here.

* TheScrappy: The entirety of the Student Council, minus Hime. Most of what they do is BlackComedyRape and their occasional moments of PetTheDog are few and far between and usually subverted right after. It doesn't help that all 3 of them have rather bland characterizations.

* TheWoobie: Poor, '''poor''' Hime. He really needs a hug.
* WTHCastingAgency: All the crossdressing boys are voiced by women who make no attempt to sound male.

* TheWoobie: Poor, '''poor''' Hime. Some of his misfortunes might even fall into DudeNotFunny territory for a few viewers/readers. He really needs a hug.

** 18+ is the most hated of them, to the point where it seems like she was intentionally written to be unlikable.

* TheWoobie:
** Poor, '''poor''' Hime. Some of his misfortunes might even fall into dude-not-funny territory for a few viewers/readers. He really needs a hug.
** Mitsunaga for some.

** Many watched this just because it's technically the first OtokonokoGenre anime. Most of them were fairly disappointed and those that weren't are generally pissed because it has become a GenreKiller for any further otokonoko anime.

** It really says something when ''Yakuza members'' come off as more sympathetic than you.

* FetishRetardant: The skeevy, non-consentual nature of most of the fanservice. Unless you're into both crossdressing AND humiliation, you'll probably be turned off.

* WTHCastinAgency: All the crossdressing boys are voiced by women who make no attempt to sound male.

* RetroactiveRecognition: {{bkub}} wrote a chapter for the anthology comic a year or two before he started ''Manga/PopTeamEpic''.

** Mitsunaga for some.

** All the crossdressing male characters look prepubescent.

** A lot of the humor relies on homophobic jokes.

** Hime. Some of his misfortunes might even fall into dude-not-funny territory for a few viewers/readers.

** Many of the jokes in this series can be seen as homophobic or transphobic, and would absolutely not fly with Western audiences.

** Hime. Some of his misfortunes might even fall into unfunny territory for a few viewers/readers.

* DoubleStandard: If the genders were flipped, this would be a ''very'' disturbing series.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: The ''Himegoto+'' cast, to the point that many wish they were the main characters. They were even considered one of the anime's sole bright spots.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Many watched this just because it's technically the first OtokonokoGenre anime. Most of them were fairly disappointed and those that weren't are generally pissed because it has become a GenreKiller for any further otokonoko anime.
