%%* NarmCharm: Oh, this * {{Misblamed}}: Some fans of the Sanrio film series has a lot of it. The pilot seems to escape blame Zephyrus/the West Wind as the worst main cause of it.Unico's tragic existence due to separating him from his friends. Ignoring the fact that Zephyrus was simply following orders from the gods (Venus in the original manga) and actually cared for Unico's well-being. There are moments in the manga where she actually gives Unico more time to help out his friends. ''Unico: Awakening'' even introduces a subplot where the West Wind is trying to break the cycle of losing his memories and [[ScrewDestiny disliking Venus's intense hatred at Unico.]]

** The title character is easily mistaken as a girl. This might be due to the character having some feminine features (long eyelashes), having pink hair (sometimes colored red), and [[CrossDressingVoices voiced by females in all animated appearances]] [[ChildrenVoicingChildren except his first]]. Some of Tezuka's illustrations of [[https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/814CxSBXz7L.jpg Unico shows him with eye shadow]] ([[https://kawaiiplanets.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/yunico.jpg typically pink colored]]) and [[https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/rjIAAOSw0JpV5cBA/s-l400.jpg wearing a bow around his horn]] [[WholesomeCrossdresser which the protagonist actually enjoys.]]

Added DiffLines:

* LGBTFanbase:
** The series has gained a lot of fans from the LGBTQ community in both Japan and especially the west. Not only do its themes about love, empathy, and compassion really resonate with members of the community, but LGBT fans immediately notice some queer themes and subtext in Unico's relationships with a few of his male friends (notably with Beezle/Akuma-kun and Piro/Marusu).
** Unico is dearly loved by queer, pansexual, and bisexual fans due to his feminine design and being openly comfortable dressing in and/or [[WholesomeCrossdresser wearing female makeup and accessories]] and [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide displaying effeminate behavior]]. This even extends to [[https://www.teepublic.com/poster-and-art/3655509-cutie-uni fanmade merchandise]] and [[https://imgur.com/a/Gwz3cwu fanart of the protagonist]] by American fans. Some even claim that he's pansexual due to being very affectionate towards his male and female friends.
** Fans familiar with Piro/Marusu's appearance in ''Anime/UnicoInTheIslandOfMagic'' believe him to be non-binary since the character's gender is never mentioned in any dub of the movie, while some theorize that Piro/Marusu is trans since the character's male in the original manga despite his feminine design and appearance.
