History YMMV / MyFirstGirlfriendIsAGal

** Now put all of this in contrast with the manga, which handles a similar situation, but Yukana just tells Junichi to tell her the truth if he's insecure about something, showing much more maturity in that scene than anyone did in that particular episode. And they've been going out for a few ''months'' at most there overall, where the anime places this incident after a year of dating.

%% * ShallowParody: Not the series itself, but a BlandNameProduct based off ''Literature/HighSchoolDXD'' was among the light novels featured in one episode. That said, the general consensus is that, in the vein of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', ''High School D×D'', with a little tweaking, can easily stand on its own as a good story without the pornographic material.

* {{Woolseyism}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe6TiHBnMFg This video]] makes a case that the English dub adds more character to the cast by [[{{Flanderization}} deliberately exaggerating]] their character traits and made it more entertaining. One change, however, was controversial: episode 7 had some new lines that were digs at UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump and fans of VisualNovel. Much like similar changes to the English dub of ''Manga/PrisonSchool'', this caused backlash from audiences, whether because they felt attacked or simply thought it was out of place.

* ValuesDissonance: In the manga, after her feelings for Junichi become clear, Yuki convinces Yui that she needs to quit live streaming. For Western readers, this can seem like a crazy leap of logic, but in Eastern countries, female entertainers (like idols and, indeed, some streamers) often remain single, as they are expected to treat their fans as their "boyfriends", and it's considered "disrespectful" to the audience to give their love/attention to another man. Ranko, however, proves that her audience already ''knew'' she was totally in love with "Doggy" and was actually rooting for her to get her man.

* AmericansHateTingle: Minoru is usually ''despised'' by Western audiences, due to the ComedicLolicon being hated there. While the characters and narrative tend to treat him as a harmless person that will hopefully grow out of his obsession with time, Westerners see him as a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.

* OvershadowedByControversy: The English dub changed the context of episode 7 to include more "politically correct" social elements, which includes digs at UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump and generalizing VisualNovel fans as being misogynists. Much like what happened with the English dub of ''Manga/PrisonSchool'', many were predictably less than pleased at these changes, to say the least.

* CatharsisFactor: Though Dai Mitarai existence is short in this anime his [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beatdown]] by Ranko and Minoru is ''nothing short of satisfying'' due to how much of a heartless scumbag he is.

* SugarWiki/SuperlativeDubbing: While the Japanese version has been subjected to a bit of a BrokenBase, the English dub has been touted as this due to the gratuitous amount of liberties that were taken.
