YMMV / M3: The Dark Metal

• Awesome Music: Re:Remeber from May'n, and the second ending Sable from nano.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: For the few diehard fans around, Iwato and Raika. One: a date for them means playing basketball together. Who wouldn't accept an offer to go shoot hoops with their girlfriend? Two: They actually talk about their issues and try to sort them out, something even many couples in Real Life can only dream of.
• Launcher of a Thousand Ships: Akashi, given his in-universe popularity with his female classmates. He's paired up in fanfics with Emiru, Sasame, Maamu and Tsugumi. There's even Kasane (who sees him as a Replacement Goldfish) and Susan.
• Les Yay: Common in Mari Okada works...Mainly Mahmu the Emotionless Girl sometimes Reika try cheer up, but in episode 14 Mahmu is designed to pilot Sable (with Emiru as LIM), and when both are kids Emiru writes unauthorized in her notebook, when she have read she understand that is undifferent from Emiru, and she hugs the illness Emiru and get the control from machine.
  • In the end Mahmu share memories with Emiru.
• Ugly Cute: Corpse true form.
