History YMMV / Kiznaiver

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong: Quite a few people have noticed that the opening's vocals sound eerily similar to the chorus of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PAwp_1wYz8 Take On Me]].

** Many fans thought the reveal of [[spoiler: Nico having feelings for Tenga in episode 8]] was this, given that the clues for it were ''so'' subtle that one could not be blamed for not seeing them at all. Doesn't help that [[spoiler: Nico's direct interactions with Tenga]] before the reveal could've been chalked up to the former's IJustWantToHaveFriends attitude, while the actual romantic hints were more focused on jealousy towards a rival, [[spoiler: Chidori]]. One could only really connect the dots together once other characters pointed out, [[InformedAttribute but it was hardly as obvious as they said so]].

** [[spoiler: Tenga had feelings for Chidori]] could be perceived as this as well, since [[spoiler:Tenga's offer of helping Chidori out with Katsuhira]] didn't really seem to be anything else other than a FriendshipMoment at the time. It didn't however bother the fans as much as the first example since MatchmakerCrush is often a common development, the characters had a fair share of interactions that could be interpreted as UnresolvedSexualTension and the pairing itself already had a number of shippers, so the reveal didn't feel that it had come out of nowhere.

* StrangledByTheRedString: Many fans thought the reveal of [[spoiler: Nico having feelings for Tenga in episode 8]] was this.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The opening [[http://puu.sh/pcOiC/5893df14ff.mp3 "Lay Your Hands On Me"]] by Boom Boom Satellites.

** When Tenga repeatedly compliment's Chidori's food and talks about how amazing she is, there's a shot of Nico's eyes, and she's not looking too happy. Nico also seems proud of her endowment over Chidori's, which could be seen as part of her secret rivalry with her.

* LesYay: Ruru and Maki are all but stated to have a relationship. [[spoiler: Episode 7 reveals that Ruru was really in love with Maki, but Maki rejected her feelings out of fear that she'd grieve over her even more when she died. It's ambiguous whether Maki was also in love with Ruru, but there are implications that she did.]]

* StrangledByTheRedString: Many fans thought the reveal of [[spoilers: Nico having feelings for Tenga in episode 8]] was this.

* LesYay: Ruru and Maki are all but stated to have a relationship. [[spoiler: Episode 7 reveals that Ruru was really in love with Maki, but Maki did not accepted her feelings out of fear to grief her even more when she died. It's ambiguous whether Maki was also in love with Ruru, but there are implications that she did.]]

** Maki and Yuta start to get those as of episode 4, including a scene in episode 5 on which they are caught with Maki trying to show Yuta her boobs.

*** Episode 7 solves this, but adds another question to her character: [[spoiler: was she in love with Ruru, and were she not ill, they would be dating, or is Maki straight or not interested in Ruru like that?]]
** [[spoiler: Ruru manipulated Maki and tried to force her feelings on her, or was she mad when she told about the letter to Maki, and never really meant any of those things, correcting them with the letter on their manga's last chapter?]]

* FanPreferredCouple: While the BettyAndVeronica dilemma takes control on the canon, a group of YaoiFangirls already started creating many fanfcs for Hisomu/Katsuhira and Tenga/Yuta.

* LesYay: Ruru and Maki are all but stated to have a relationship.

** Tenga has been paired with Katsuhira, Yuta, Chidori, and Nico

** Thats not even getting into the fans who clash over Katsuhira/Chidori or Katsuhira/Sonozaki.

* NarmCharm: Yuta's GirlyRun in episode 8 should ''not'' make for a heartwarming moment, but it does.

* AwesomeArt: The character designs are ''gorgeously'' detailed. [[SceneryPorn The scenery's great too.]]

* AwesomeMusic: The opening "Lay Your Hands On Me" by Boom Boom Satellites.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: All of the Kiznaiver's have enough depth to them where their personalities can be interpreted differently. For example is Yuta a HandsomeLech or is he simply acting like one because he's FormerlyFat and enjoys the attention he's getting?

* EpilepticTrees: The fans of the series spout theories about the Kiznaivers, the Kizuna System and its purposes left and right.

* ShipToShipCombat: Tenga/Chidori vs. Katsuhira/Chidori. Fans are divided if Chidori deserves to have her feelings for Katsuhira reciprocated despite his inability to feel emotions or Chidori is wasting her time and Tenga is a much better and kinder friend to her. Thats not even getting into the fans who clash over Katsuhira/Chidori or Katsuhira/Sonozaki.

** Mari Okada's involvement in the series. Given the melodramatic tone of most of her works some feel as if its going to go down the same route as her other shows. Others however were pleasantly surprised with how the plot for the series left itself open for melodrama but Okada seems to be taking a more comedic approach to it than usual.
