History YMMV / ExpelledFromParadise

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: When talking about this series, the conversation almost always begins and ends at [[PerverseSexualLust Angela's barely-clothed self]], to the point where more people are aware of Angela's [[FormFittingWardrobe "boob-socks"]] than of the series plot. Many first-time viewers were even surprised to discover that it was a mecha series (though it's addition to the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' series has alleviated this for the most part). This situation was likely not helped, and may have been directly caused by, the film's advertising, which put [[SexyPackaging just as much, if not more focus on Angela's bountiful chest]] than on the film's mecha or plot: this probably caused quite a bit of confusion with some viewers who went in thinking it would be an [[{{Ecchi}} ecchi-comedy]] with some sci-fi elements, as opposed to a fairly serious sci-fi action movie.

* FriendlyFandoms: ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'' and ''Anime/ExpelledFromParadise'' gained a shared fandom due to Masatsugu Saito doing the character deisgns of both works, with the game helping him and the movie gain RetroactiveRecognition once this was apparent. While he was not the writer however, the similar [[spoiler: AfterTheEnd on Earth]] story beats of both works and designs of the male and female lead also contributed to both fandoms being able to invest themselves in both works.

** Dingo likewise share's his fandom with Rex's due to both being a WorkingClassHero [[spoiler: from and experienced on Earth]] whose determined and somewhat cocky attitude to the female lead, along with his determination to help her, lets her open up to the world. In terms of design, while initially all they shared was spiky brown hair, [[spoiler: the design [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2408708-xenoblade-chronicles-3 for older Rex]] in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'', [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/10xch74/the_dilf_rex_and_shulk_are_real/ especially his bearded appearance in a DLC trailer]] pass]] heavily for Dingo.
*** The shared fandom amongst the works and their leads lead to a MemeticMutation that Angela and Dingo were just an older Mythra and Rex, the latter also falling under HilariousInHindsight thanks to [[spoiler: older Rex from ''XC 3'' resembling Dingo.]]

* FriendlyFandoms: It's a given that fans of ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'' and ''Anime/ExpelledFromParadise'' are practically one and the same due to Masatsugu Saito doing the character deisgns of both works, with ''Xenoblade Chronicles 2'' helping ''Expelled From Paradise'' getting RetroactiveRecognition because of this, especially since Mythra from the former and Angela from the latter look alike to the point where they can be clones. Designs aside both works also are about [[spoiler: an AfterTheEnd Earth]] inhabited by dangerous creatures and small civilizations contrasted by [[spoiler: a false paradise located in space built by humanity's former dominant government.]] The male lead of both works is also a hot head spiky brown haired WorkingClassHero [[spoiler: from Earth]] that must deal with shady people in order to survive though Rex is certainly more humble and shorter than Dingo. Meanwhile, the female lead is a blond tsundere from the futuristic paradise who the male lead helps give a new insight of life on. These similarities thus allow for Rex x Mythra fans Dingo x Angela fans to be cross fandom ShipMates, especailly since [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/artuso/this_is_rex_and_mythra_now_feel_old_yet_expelled/ fans have joked that Dingo could pass for a grown up Rex]]. This in turn becomes very HilariousInHindsight now that [[spoiler: the design [[https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2408708-xenoblade-chronicles-3 for older Rex]] in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'', [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Xenoblade_Chronicles/comments/10xch74/the_dilf_rex_and_shulk_are_real/ especially his bearded appearance in a DLC trailer]], really does pass for Dingo.]]

* RetroactiveRecognition: Masatsugu Saito did the character designs for this movie years before ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' (which Creator/{{Graphinica}} coincidentally also worked on), which is why Angela looks like [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 Mythra's]] long lost sister.

* UncannyValley: While in stills the characters look fine, in motion they tend to look rather janky and stiff due to the inconsistently applied frame-skipping animation. The HumongousMecha fare a little better, but share similar framerate issues at times.

* BestKnownForTheFanservice: For the most part, when people are told about this series, they mention Angela's scantily clad self and are surprised it's a mecha series. Its addition to the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' series might change that.
