Ginga Densetsu Weed/YMMV

Tropes used in the animated adaptation:

 * Alas, Poor Villain: Kaibutsu, who is revealed to look and behave like he does because he was tortured for 5 years by humans using him for scientific experiments.
 * Anvilicious: Oh boy... don't let me get started on Weed and his morals...
 * Complete Monster: Hougen... really... qualifies.
 * Victor the crazed militant German Shepherd and Shougun the baboon from the manga qualify for this trope too.
 * Damsel Scrappy: Many fans dislike Reika for her role of "Just There" in the anime/manga and getting kidnapped.
 * Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Much like its predecessor, the serie recieved more attention in Scandinavia and Finland than any other place.
 * Ho Yay: There are lots of unsettling fanart of Weed x Jerome
 * Narm Charm: Despite having ridiculous amounts of Narm, some people still find the anime watchable, even enjoyable.
 * It depends what episode you're watching, really. There are a few really well animated ones.
 * Nightmare Fuel - Bat, the Blind Seer of Hougen's pack, is pretty damn creepy.
 * Also Aramu, the German Shepherd with some flesh missing from his muzzle, creeped out some of the manga's readers.
 * The Not Quite Dead Sniper's deformed appearance in the manga.
 * John's torture
 * Replacement Scrappy: Jerome's Helpers were hated by most fans for replacing the manga characters who were cut out from the anime.
 * Though Ryo did have fans for being an Action Girl (which is rare in this series).
 * Squick: Hiro the ball-snatcher. Just... Hiro the ball-snatcher.
 * In the manga, Hougen the Complete Monster ripped the heavily-wounded John's gut out from his stomach, slowly killing him. This scene was cut out from the anime.
 * Subbing Versus Dubbing: Some people seem to think the series needs an English dub.
 * The Woobie: Hook
 * They Changed It, Now It Sucks: A lot of the fans who have watched Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin or have read the manga were seriously unhappy about the changes in the anime. And not everything can be blamed on Pragmatic Adaptation.
 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Kaibutsu

Tropes used in the Manga:

 * Creator's Pet: Weed and Sasuke under Yoshihiro Takahashi.
 * GB and Jerome to a certain extent.
 * Ending Fatigue: One of the major complaints among the fans who read the manga especially for the later arcs.
 * Ensemble Darkhorse: George is one of the favourite characters among the manga readers. He isn't in the anime. This is just another thing that made the fans unhappy.
 * Tesshin is also an example of this.
 * Unfortunate Implications: Near the end of the manga, many fans were unhappy at the idea of . Even though they are dogs, it has an unpleasant parallel to the implications of teenage pregnancy as both are too young to become parents.
