YMMV / Algicosathlon Corey Barber Is Back

• Ensemble Dark Horse: Periwinkle, Purple's high school rival before the Earth trip, was quite popular despite not having been sent to Earth and being a contestant on the show. Her post had more favorites than every Algolien's profile on Deviantart. When the number of contestants went from 30 to 32, she was added in.
  • Mariner, an OC submitted by a fan and redrawn by Corey in the official style, also counts.
• Friendly Fandoms: With Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls. Since Corey ran a channel called Unofficial Milky Way featuring the Galaxy Girls in fanmade episodes, the Discord server related to it became the first to be aware of the Algoliens project. Both series also take simple ideas and make personifications of them, these being colors and planets.
• Jerkass Woobie: The only reason Purple is a Jerkass is because her family constantly brushed her aside in favor of Plum, and hates anyone, namely Red, who has "cool" attributes like him. Some fans may feel sorry for Purple, but others may not forgive her personality that came out of it.
• Moe: For such basically designed characters, they can be quite adorable and eye-catching:
  • Lavender is perhaps the biggest example of this, as she is childlike and dresses like a little princess girl despite being a teenager. She also has unique Puppy-Dog Eyes with two highlights and eyelashes on each eye, adding to it. Her younger sister, Buttermilk, also qualifies for most of this.
  • Tan is a Shrinking Violet who has major anxiety and worries about everything.
  • Blue is a child-like character who loves to make others happy and entertained.
  • Minty is a ditzy Genki Girl who loves to listen to music and is overall a positive person.
  • Olive is The Baby of the Bunch who resembles an overweight child, and smiles often.
  • Magenta is a beautiful character who had gone through a lot as a child, everyone finds her attractive.
• Squick: Olive's buttcrack sticks out of his pants.
• Unpopular Popular Character: Gray is fairly unpopular in-universe due to his personality, but is loved by fans.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: While the concept has been shown to be mostly friendly to younger audiences, a rather disturbing post was made that reveals Magenta's family. As it turns out, her father and older sisters are alcoholics.
