History YMMV / TamaAndFriends

* AwesomeMusic: The opening to ''Uchitama?!'', "[[https://youtu.be/R6Z1Ctyj4q4?si=-b8IJw0NyXZL_l8C Friends]]" by Wacci, is an energetic, free-spirited tune that nicely encapsulates the feel of the franchise.

* NightmareFuel: There is a [[UnexpectedlyDarkEpisode surprisingly nightmarish]] two-part [[VerySpecialEpisode special episode]] of ''Do You Know my Tama?'' in which a rumor is circulating across Third Street about the hauntings of the ghost of little girl and her dog Shiro, who tragically ended up being two of the 129,000-226,000 casualties of the [[{{UsefulNotes/Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki}} Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings]] that took place during the climactic final months of {{UsefulNotes/World War II}} and caused horrific devastation. Tama's owner Takeshi has nightmares about her in the [[AChristmasCarol Christmas Carol]]-type first part. The girl's ghost even holds Tama hostage and threatens to kill him.

** Although this take on one of the events that ended the Second World War was more similar to Studio Ghibli's equally depressing ''Grave of the Fireflies'' than the more graphic ''Barefoot Gen'' (which depicts these [[Anime/{{GraveOfTheFireflies}} terrifying events]] [[NightmareFuel/{{BarefootGen}} in more detail]]), you can see why 4Kids decided to skip the episode due to it being inspired by one of the darkest moments in the history of humankind.

** The episode's second part is more of a slight homage to classic horror movies like ''Film/TheExorcist''. Pochi is possessed by a haunted collar that belonged to Shiro before he and his owner were killed by the atomic bombings tackled in the first part. Shiro is revealed to be a really terrifying-looking [[{{Youkai}} Inugami]] (dog demon) once the collar is taken off of Pochi by Takeshi - essentially exhausting the former and (luckily, due to his cowardly nature) causing him not to be able to see it. Thankfully, his ghost owner changes him back to the kind of loving dog he was when he was alive and apologizes for all the trouble they caused.
