History YMMV / UtaNoPrincesama

** From HEAVENS, Nagi Mikado is highly disliked by a lot of fans due to his status as being TheFakeCutie and how much of a {{Jerkass}} he is with his debut showing him slapping [[CloudCuckooLander Natsuki's]] hand away and told him how dare he think they can shake hands. A lot of people '''really''' hated the kid in his episode in Season 4 with Natsuki [[spoiler: where he taunted [[MultiplePersonality Satsuki]] about Natsuki's MultiplePersonality disorder and was even considering telling the news about it]].

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: After ''Debut'' 's disapointment, nobody thought that ''All Star'' would become a game as good as the original. Starring [[TheScrappy the senpais]], no less.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The music is composed by Elements Garden, and some of the tracks definitely apply, like "CRYSTAL TIME".

** Similar to other primarily same-sex franchises such as ''Franchise/TheIdolmaster'' or ''Anime/BangDream'', the [=UtaPri=] fanbase broke into pieces when ''Uta no Princess-sama'' was revealed not to be an AprilFoolsDay joke. Many fans felt like it was making an otome franchise into a unisex venture, and thought that the game was dividing up resources to an already bloated lineup of idols in the main series (especially since HEAVENS hadn't shown up in the games and the next visual novel had been in waiting in years). Others think that the girls should be given a chance, since when other franchises experimented with an opposite sex branch it either ended up [[VideoGame/EnsembleStars wildly successful]] or [[Music/{{Tsukiuta}} quietly acknowledged]].

** The focus of the anime being given to HEAVENS.

* AuthorsSavingThrow:
** A common complaint from fans, especially from fans of the original visual novels, is the lack of touching on for the boys' backgrounds in the anime which gave a '''lot''' of characterization to them. Season 4 has now shown hints and elements of the backgrounds of [[LonelyRichKid Masato]], [[DarkAndTroubledPast Natsuki]] and [[MissingMom Otoya]].
** Another common complaint with the fans, this time from '''both''' fans of the original visual novels and games, is how none of the boys have had the guts to not just confess to Haruka but ask her for a clear answer in the anime. Come Season 4, [[spoiler:in enters Van Kiryuin who not only confesses to Haruka but asks for an answer when he asks her out. Bonus points were given to both Haruka and Van for taking the confession and rejection respectively in a surprisingly calm and non-cliche manner. This was part of why Van became quite [[EnsembleDarkhorse well-liked]].]]

* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: After ''Debut'' 's disapointment, nobody thought that ''All Star'' would become a game as good as the original. Starring [[TheScrappy the senpais]], no less.
* UncannyValley: Haruka's eye colour, to some.
** The reactions to STARISH's songs are quite... interesting, to say the least. Mainly Saotome's ones.
** Mitsuo. A 14-year-old voiced by Creator/NorioWakamoto? What the hell was Broccoli thinking?

** Ren/Masato could also be considered FoeYay.

* OneHitWonder: In universe, Shining Saotome. He had one best-selling single, "Wo Ai ni", before retiring and funding Saotome Productions and the academy.

* LGBTFanbase: This franchise has a massive gay male following.

** ''Debut'' is considered the worst game of the franchise by some fans, since it focuses more on the senpai (by then antagonistic in nature) and the boys' character development instead of their romance with the heroine, and it's generally more angsty than the previous games. This is also why it's the only main game with no fandisc, and why ''All Star'' focuses on the seniors' routes instead.

* EarWorm: "Maji LOVE 1000%".

** Of the boys, Syo has one of the largest shipping pools, nearly rivaling Nanami; he gets shipped with Natsuki, Satsuki, Ai, Nanami, Kaoru, Cecil, Ren, and Nagi. And those are only the regularly recurring ones.

* MostAnnoyingSound: In Season 3, "revolution". You'll hear it three times too many per episode, if you're lucky.
** This is even lampshaded by Creator/JunichiSuwabe (Ren's voice actor) who made a tweet saying they "over did it" with using "revolution" in the final scene of the first episode when it first aired.

* AwesomeMusic: The music is composed by Elements Garden, and some of the tracks definitely apply, like "CRYSTAL TIME".

** Some fans also have no trouble in getting rid of her to insert their own {{Mary Sue}} OC characters...[[{{Hypocrite}} amusingly enough, because they claim Haruka is a Mary Sue]].

** Haruka, for fans of the anime (mainly disliked for her generic personality) and [[MartyStu Cecil]] for both game and anime fandoms.

* LesYay: Haruka gets REALLY happy when Tomochika visits her.
* MostAnnoyingSound: season 3, "revolution". You'll hear it three times too many per episode, if you're lucky.

* TheScrappy: Haruka, for fans of the anime (mainly disliked for her generic personality) and [[MartyStu Cecil]] for both game and anime fandoms.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Haruka. Considering she's the heroine of an otome game, she already has at least six good-looking guys after her; she can be paired with Otoya, Tokiya, Masato, Ren, Syo, Natsuki, Cecil, Hyuuga, Ringo, Reiji, Ranmaru, Camus, Ai... and the list goes on.
