YMMV / Ceres, Celestial Legend

• Awesome Music: The opening (Scarlet) and the second ending (Cross my heart).
• Creator's Pet: Toya. Confessed by Watase, although it's not like she ever hides these kinds of things. However, Toya deserves a special mention because he's still her favorite pet ever, even to this day.
• Fan-Preferred Couple: Many people consider Yuuhi to be a better match for Aya than Tooya, though she actually does sort of end up with him. Not on-screen, but considering Tooya is dying already and he asks Yuuhi to protect her once he does... Other fans thought that Yuuhi's attempts at romancing Aya could've used a lot less Attempted Rape.
• Fanon Discontinuity: The novel mini-sequels. Specially Yuuhi hooking up with Chidori's clone.
• Iron Woobie: Aya eventually becomes this. Big time.
• Narm: In the anime, the scene where Tooya is tortured to almost death via being repeatedly gunned down by Aki possessed by the Ancestor is so ridiculously dragged-out that it becomes an Overly Long Gag.
• Squick: While not as bad as the possessed Aki, Shuro acts pretty unpleasantly towards Aya when they meet: first trying to bribe her into a relationship by promising to show her the hagoromo if she'll become Shuro's girlfriend, and when that fails, stalking her at night and confronting her in a remote location. After that, it is revealed that Shuro is female and not actually attracted to women, but in a way, that almost makes it more disturbing, since it implies that she treated Aya that way because she was under the impression that that was the normal way for a young man to act towards a pretty girl. Fortunately, she immediately calms down and becomes a much nicer person after that.
• Strangled by the Red String: Aya and Toya's relationship comes across as this because they've had such little interaction until Aya is taken to his apartment and suddenly declares that she loves him. Somewhat justified by the fact that he's an evolved life form made out of a divine energy ball and was basically wired to serve and protect her family, hence the instant love can be seen as an application of this instinct. The fact that his dad was an old hermit didn't help his relationship skills.
• The Woobie: Yuuhi. Just about the nicest guy around and he can cook, but no matter what he does, he can't win Aya over. Oh, and then, to make matters worse, Chidori dies in his arms after Taking the Bullet for him.
• WTH, Costuming Department?: The Celestial Maidens' true form when they are fused with their Mana. In-universe the characters react like they look alien, but godly beautiful. The reader might disagree - unless they're fans of Witchblade.
