My-HiME/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Base Breaker]]: Shizuru. She has many fans, but people who are fans of her victims often hate her. It's hard to find anyone who's indifferent.

* [[Broken Base]]: The second half of the show, particularly the outbreak of violence between the HiMEs, some specific characters' actions and personality shifts, and the ending are controversial.

* [[Crack Pairing]]: In-series (well, in-series-''extra'') example -- the [[Omake]] for episode 21 seems to be [[Ship Tease|suggesting]] ''[[Teacher-Student Romance|Mai/Midori]]''!

* [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]]: Midori's [[Establishing Character Moment|first appearance...]] in both versions.

* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: Fans have accused Akira of [[Chickification]] for wearing girlier clothes towards the end of the story (in the manga, there's a scene in the ending in which she's trying on a girl's middle school uniform). Not only it ignores that several of the HiMe are actually rather feminine girls (Shizuru is a [[Lady of War]], Natsuki is a Gunslinger who wears her hair very long and loves collecting lingerie, ''Mai'' herself is kinda motherly and a [[Supreme Chef]], etc.), but also "forget" that the main reason Akira dressed up as a guy is that she was trying to hide the fact that she was a HiMe in the first place, thus she started wearing skirts ''only'' when her mission was over and she had no real reason to hide her gender. [[Girliness Upgrade]], yeah; [[Chickification]], uhm, no.

** Interestingly enough, Akira is still using the highly masculine "ore" to refer to herself.

* [[The Scrappy]]: Two of them, to varying degrees: Yuuichi ([[Non-Action Guy]] and [[Die for Our Ship]] effects) and Shiho ([[Clingy Jealous Girl]] who wants to take Yuuichi away from Mai, and even {{spoiler|kills Takumi}} out of spite).

* [[Suddenly Sexuality]]: Some viewers see Natsuki's pursuit of Yuuichi in the manga despite having no interest in boys in the anime as an example of this.

* [[True Art Is Angsty]]: Some fans are critical of the ending for {{spoiler|undoing the deaths and character traumas}}.

* [[What an Idiot!]]: Yuuichi. {{spoiler|His attraction to Mai becomes increasingly obvious halfway through the story, and while his desire to help is commendable, he breaks his promises to Shiho twice in doing so, eventually leading her to attack Mai after Nagi manipulates her some more.}}

** Akane, especially considering her mental breakdown after {{spoiler|the death of her boyfriend, Kazuya}}.

** Mai. She blames herself for a childhood tragedy in which her mother died and her brother's heart was weakened. She's forced to fight against her friends in the Carnival, and {{spoiler|loses two of her most important people}}. The toll these tragedies take on her becomes increasingly evident over time.

** Considering he was {{spoiler|a corpse}} when Obsidian Lord assimilated him, it's not like he had much of a choice in the matter.
