YMMV / Galneryus

• Fandom Rivalry: With DragonForce, approaching "Metallica vs. Megadeth" levels of rivalry in some circles.
  • Also an internal one due to a Broken Base: Yama-B fans versus Ono fans.
• Follow the Leader: Despite having dropped almost all their visual flair, they're still blatantly worshipping classic Visual bands such as X Japan as well as non-VK metal acts.
• Idiot Ball: The entire attempt at cloning X Japan could be seen as this. It ruined the friendship between Syu and Yama-B for a while, it made the band lose Yama-B, it didn't really appeal to anyone (as in, it made the existing neoclassical/thrash/Power Metal fanbase walk away in disgust at the crooning and poppy ballads thinking the band was over or going to be soon, and didn't really appeal to the ballad-side fandom for X Japan since X Japan itself was a somewhat active band at the time)
• Replacement Scrappy: Ono.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: A lot of fans hate that they've mostly abandoned neo-classical metal in recent years. The fact that this lead to Yama-B's departure doesn't help.
