I'm really dubious about this entry in the YMMV page:

  • Harsher in Hindsight: Think "research" along the ethical lines, propaganda, and poorly executed/planned form of the E-Pandora project can't exist in real-life? You'd be wrong. A Missouri university ran an "experiment" on abused and abandoned beagles, pouring acid in their eyes, blinding them, and then killed the unfortunate animals to try and cover it up. A non-profit charity specifically dedicated to rescuing abandoned and mistreated pets has brought suit against said university for it. The saddest part? Not only was the experiment completely unnecessary, since the very premise and result was already well-documented, but the exercise was funded by tax-payer dollars. State-Run health care doesn't sound so benign anymore does it?

First of all, I haven't read/watched this series, but it seems a stretch to compare futuristic genetic research on humans to unethical animal experimentation. And the Take That! in the last sentence is completely uncalled for, especially given that plenty of unethical experimentation has been carried out all over the world with private funding. Even if the rest of the entry is kept, I think the last sentence should go.

I've never read this or watched the anime, but why is it called Freezing if there's no ice involved?

It refers to the male partner's ability to stop the 50ft monsters using a special energy from stigmata put inside them. While this happens, the female partner is able to kick said monster's backside and kill it.

It rather disappointing all the new rape/sexual abuse apologist rhetoric on the page some of which should belong in YMMV tab, and this is from a staunch anti feminist.

The sympathetic back stories for complete monsters is something you would except to be in fanfic written by a tween.

This might be a translation issue, but in chapter seventy, one of the Pandora says their Solar Furnace is holding equal to the power that the sun produces in twenty years.

That's insane.

It would mean that room is holding enough power to cause an explosion equal to a little over sixty-quintillion megatons. The most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated was the Tsar Bomba and that was only fifty megatons, even the proposed one-hundred-million times increase would only bring it up to a mere five-billion megatons. Sixty-quintillion megatons isn't just a disaster, it's a world-ending event. Who would build something like that on their own planet? That's the kind of thing you put up in deep space.

Yeah... I'm hoping that that was an April Fools joke.
