YMMV / Xiao Xiao

Go To

  • I Am Not Shazam: No, Xiao Xiao is never stated to be the protagonist's actual name (in fact, he's never named at all); it's an abbreviation of the first installment's Foreign Language Title.
  • Once Original, Now Overdone: Fifteen years is a veritable eternity on the internet, yet the animation communitynote  still looks back on his work fondly. Well, at least on Episode 3. The first episode still fits this trope with its choppy framerate, stiff animation, and being an .avi file instead of the soon-to-be-explosively-popular .swf format.
  • That One Level: The crusher level in No. 6. The crushers move very slowly once their levers are pulled and the victim instantly reacts to your actions. There's a reason it won Newgrounds's "Turd of the Week" award.
  • Unintentional Period Piece: The note-for-note Shout-Out to The Matrix at the end of Part 3 firmly cements it as being made in that brief window where you could do that and not have the audience instantly roll their eyes.
