Kurogane no Linebarrel/YMMV


 * Base Breaker: The anime adaptation, especially with how certain characters get treated and/or get derailed in the character development department. By far the biggest complaint was how the anime had severe cases of Mood Whiplash, swapping between serious drama and slapstick comedy every five minutes. The ending was also not well-received by fans.
 * Complete Monster (Several Arma pilots will kill civilians just to taunt the Machina pilots. Or just for kicks.)
 * Riku Ousei, all the way. The other Katou minions, and Hisataka himself, have varied grades of redeeming qualities. Ousei is capable of coldly killing civilians with a Kill Sat just to make a point, and taunts Kouichi about that.
 * Crowning Moment of Funny: Episode 6. Pretty much all of it. A bit of Crowning Moment of Heartwarming too.
 * Evil Is Sexy (Yuriannu, oh so very much)
 * Fashion Victim Villain (The Katou organisation, oh god the Katou organisation!)
 * Case in point, Hisakata Katou looks like a pimp who talks like Lelouch, Sawatari goes about the place in a blue trenchcoat/suit thing with flames on the sleeves and pant legs, Demitri wouldn't look out of place in the aristocracy, and Masaki is dressed up like a goddamn cowboy!
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel (The one time you see one of Izuna's nerve crack visions, involves the person affected seeing Linebarrel grow many times bigger than its usual size and transfrom into a massive deamon)
 * Memetic Molester (Yuriannu. The Beach Episode. You know the scene)
 * Memetic Mutation In episode 14 when.
 * Viewer Gender Confusion ('sup, Satoru! being  did nothing to stop ) Also
 * Izuna too. Doesn't help that he looks so much like his twin sister.
