YMMV / Animal Restaurant

• Friendly Fandoms: The Animal Restaurant and Tsuki Adventure fandoms often get along swimmingly, due to both games being pretty easygoing in their gameplay, both featuring talking animals, and both having heavy influences from Asian cultures. The titular character Tsuki even can appear as a customer in Animal Restaurant!
• Most Wonderful Sound: The shing! that happens when you unlock a new customer or item is quite satisfying.
• Shocking Moments: With the other troublesome customers (the thief and the skunk), you only need to tap on them until they go away, and the game in general is non-violent. So it can be quite shocking the first time you tap Mr. Roach to get rid of him and he ends up splatted.
• That One Level: The Mew-chelin Judging Event has been noted to be particularly grueling by many players. Even though the event allows the players several weeks to complete the tasks, the tasks are difficult even for veteran players with high requirements for everything. The most glaring examples of this would be the requirements to catch fish (with one level requiring around 40 clownfish) and the task to play the Game Machine 40 times, even though it is only available once per day with few exceptions. The fifth and seventh levels require gambling with the mouse 25 and 35 times, respectively. It's notoriously difficult.
• Viewer Gender Confusion: Some characters are prone to having their genders mistaken by players. In Dori and Jiji's cases, this is because their names read as feminine to Anglophone players. Hedwig sometimes has her gender mistaken by people who aren't familiar with Harry Potter.
