History YMMV / MangaTimeKirara

* AudienceAlienatingEra: After a successful run in their first decade, their anime adaptations began to fall victim to this in the late 2010s, largely attributed to the growing fatigue of their general work. While ''Manga/LaidBackCamp'' became it's newest CashCowFranchise in 2018, the other 2018 releases became some of it's biggest commercial and critical failures, including ''Manga/AnimaYell'' and ''Manga/HarukanaReceive'', while ''Manga/SlowStart'' and ''Manga/ComicGirls'' were far from the successes that Kirara wanted, though the latter was moderately successful in Missouri out of all places. 2019 saw the release of the anime for the fan favorite ''Manga/TheDemonGirlNextDoor'', which became successful enough to receive a sequel in 2022, but things quickly hit the nadir in 2020 with the release of "Manga/{{Tamayomi}}", which became known as the worst Kirara anime to date, and the incredibly polarizing ''Manga/AsteroidInLove'' and ''Manga/DropoutIdolFruitTart''. While 2021 had the successful second season to ''Laid-Back Camp'', 2022 saw even worse results with the financial failures of both ''Manga/SlowLoop'' and ''Manga/RPGRealEstate'', with the latter becoming the worst selling anime in Kirara's entire history and getting lukewarm reception across the board. However, ''Manga/BocchiTheRock'', released the same year, got rave reviews and became a surprise SleeperHit, even taking home Anime of the Year at multiple events and becoming Kirara's biggest hit since ''Manga/KOn'', and 2023's Kirara entry in the form of the anime of ''Manga/StardustTelepath'' was well-received, albeit did not gain anywhere near the same popularity and was another commercial failure. Time will tell if things will improve.

* PanderingToTheBase: Throughout the 2010s, ''Manga Time Kirara'' was frequently accused of "yuri-bait", using PseudoRomanticFriendship between schoolgirls to lure in yuri fans with no intention of following through on it. In 2023, after a string of anime flops and brand fatigue, they launched ''two'' sexually-charged YuriGenre series pretty much back to back. Not in one of the side magazines or their online brand Comic Fuz, but the flagship magazine ''Manga Time Kirara''. One of them, ''Convenient Semi-Friend'', is about a blatant Bocchi-clone[[note]] ''Manga/BocchiTheRock'' being [[FollowTheLeader one of their biggest successes in this period]][[/note]] who learns her roommate is a [[SkinshipGrope skinship]] nymphomanic, and features erotic nudity that borders on ecchi. The other, ''Manga/ChimidoroIceCream'', is less explicit, but it's still the kind of series where the girls have strands of saliva stretched between their breathless lips and panting tongues every time they kiss.

* GenreTurningPoint: While they were far from the first to dabble in their niche, they are known for being ''the'' de facto face of Main/{{Moe}} and Main/{{Iyashikei}} throughout the 21st century, as they are synonymous with producing many of the most well-known SchoolgirlSeries since the 2000s. This has led to some backlash from more critical anime and manga fans, who believe most of their canon is derivative compared to other manga magazines (which tend to have more variety in the manga they publish).

* BrokenBase: Does ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' count as a true Kirara franchise? It was not homegrown from the magazine itself, but did have a huge push in the 2010s at the peak of its popularity with Manga Time Kirara Magica and had a huge presence. Many would at least agree it is honorary Kirara at the bare minimum, especially with its co-creator, Creator/UmeAoki being responsible for Kirara's very first flagship series after all.

* ArchivePanic: As of 2023, there are 36 released Kirara anime adaptations (39 if including ''Manga/WakabaGirl''
''Madoka Magica'' and its spin-off), with several more on the way. As many of them have sequel seasons, films, and Main/OriginalVideoAnimation, good luck trying to watch them all.
