YMMV / Kamisama Minarai: Himitsu no Cocotama

• Awesome Music:
  • Both the opening and ending songs are amazing, with the ending song getting the most praise.
  • The overall musical score of the series is amazing also, since it shifts some tones of the series from being happy to more serious and grim subjects on some episodes. Ryosuke Nakanishi has a good talent of composing anime scores.
• Base-Breaking Character: Mishil. In her debut episode alone she was considered a serious Manipulative Bitch which doubles as an Overt Operative in order to frame and blackmail other Cocotamas for her to take over the Cocotama House because she was lonely when she was born. Fans weren't happy on her characterization while some said that despite those flaws, she redeemed herself in the next episode and is now a part of the group.
• Broken Base: The overall reveal that the series will replace Tamagotchi on television got some fans annoyed due to the series deserving a better sequel than GO-GO Tamagotchi!, while some said that the anime has been on life support and that Himitsu no Cocotama was a good successor to the previous series. As years went by, the series has shown that it followed the footsteps of Tamagotchi.
• Ensemble Dark Horse:
  • Fans seriously like Yurano since her debut, and there's a lot of fanart of her on Pixiv done by fans. She is sometimes paired with Tokumaru in some serious Dom/Sub situations.
  • Oshaki is also a good prime example due to her being The Smart Girl and also being Adorkable.
• Fan Nickname:
  • "Egg Underpants Gods" to the Cocotamas. All thanks to Hideki in Angry Anime Bitches, who somewhat reviewed each episode up to 24.
  • "Fatty" to Mogutan, for obvious reasons.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The series was extremely popular in South Korea, where it was known as Cocoming. There was also a lot of exclusive merchandise for the series in that country, and reruns continued on cable networks long after the series ended.
• Narm: The love-heart pattern on Amanda's face makes her look charmingly cute, which somewhat diminishes any attempt she makes at being threatening, or really anything other than happy.
• Spiritual Successor: Strangely, to Mirumo de Pon! due to the series having the same premise (fairies in Mirumo and furry gods in Cocotama, yet the theme and execution were different) and happen to have the same writer.
• Tainted by the Preview: The reveal trailer of the series seriously turned people off due to them thinking that the series would be generic 5-minute-long anime... until the second trailer that aired in the final episode of Tamagotchi: Tamatomo Daishu Go! that confirmed it would be different.
• Tough Act to Follow: In contrast to the Tamagotchi franchise and despite the good sales numbers, it's unsure if the series can get the same appeal as the former considering its extreme obscurity outside of Asia.
