My Life Me/YMMV

• Alternative Character Interpretation: Since there isn't a lot of canon characterization to go on (and what little can be gleaned from the trailers is flat or just awful), fans have assigned personalities to the main characters.
  • Birch is a god-tier Weeaboo with acute Special Snowflake Syndrome, along with a foot fetish.
    • So far, 2 out of 3 of those are proving to be true.
  • Sandra is a brassy Small Name, Big Ego type, and is a lesbian.
  • Liam has a fox fursona and is a serial Uke.
  • Raffi is a flaming homosexual in denial.
  • The entire show is a Stealth Parody of weeaboo culture.
• Bile Fascination
  • Guilty Pleasure: Perhaps the other reason this show is quickly becoming well known.
• Broken Base: Whether this show is So Bad It's Good or just bad.
• Cargo Ship: CANON with Mr. Towes and his plant, Vanessa. He was singing a romantic song to it, and began to slow dance before Liam walked into the room. Suffice to say, it's the "fandom"'s One True Pairing.
• Cliché Storm: Practically every single anime "quirk" known to man is crammed in as far is it will go.
  • Hell, try and think of any "slice of life" cartoon cliches, you'll find them here.
  • This has pretty much every cliche ever.
• Creator's Pet: Birch, a blatant Author Avatar.
  • Subverted with Mr. Towes, who's the author's favourite, and the fan favorite.
• Ear Worm: THIS IS MY LIFE SO DON'T GET IN MY WAAAAAAAAAAAY
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Even ignoring that he probably is the only character that doesn't have some sort of hatedom,Mr. Towes has become one of epic proportions. He's pretty much universally loved by both the genuine fans AND the series' mass hatedom and there is a mass demand among them that he be given his own show.
  • Even the creator loves him! (And this is the same person who uses Birch as a sort of Author Avatar}
• Fan Nickname: Mr. Towes is affectionately referred to by some trolls as "Sensei Soulpatch."
• Fridge Brilliance: This ran for 52 episodes, the same number of episodes of lot of anime series have.
  • Well 52 Two Shorts episodes, still 26 is still a common number for anime series.
• Memetic Mutation: GODDAMNIT BIRCH
  • Let me tell you about Homestuck
  • Liam being a fox furry.
  • Raffi and Liam being in a homosexual relationship (and to a lesser extent, Birch and Sandra).
  • Don't forget the footwear!
• Most Annoying Sound: The voice-acting. Except Mr. Towes.
• Most Wonderful Sound: Mr. Towes. His voice-actor seriously needs more work.
• The Scrappy: Pretty much everyone except Mr. Towes (and maaaybe Sandra), though Liam and Birch are especially hated.
• Shallow Parody: And how! Do the writers even know what manga is?
• Snark Bait: A Flash Animation cartoon done in Animesque style, with character designs by the creator of Drama Con, starring a weeaboo manga-fan-artist in a Slice of Life style series? How can it not be?
  • It's gotten so bad that the wikipedia article has been recently locked. Note that very few shows get locked that quickly, especially semi-obscure Canadian shows like this.
• So Bad It's Good: Thanks in large part to Mr. Towes' gloriously insane antics.
• They Just Didn't Care: A lot of things, especially naming somebody Miyasaki LEE.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: It's always sad to see an awesome character like Mr. Towes go to waste like this.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: A North American show that focused on a Manga fan? Interesting. The execution?
  • It would also probably help if anyone on the staff had actual knowledge of anime beyond Google/Deviantart.
• True Art Is Incomprehensible: In-universe, the reason that Birch lost an art competition to Raffi was that rather than turning up something along the lines of this trope, she simply drew a picture of Raffi (evidently, she wasn't listening to Mr. Towes' directions) while Raffi simply painted a canvas orange.
• Uncanny Valley: Good god! They look like marionettes made out of human corpses!
  • Which is sad, because the character designer has done some decent work in the past.
• We're Still Relevant, Dammit!: Everything about this feels like some sort of desperate attempt to appeal to kids.
  • Admittedly, the show was first green-lit in 2006, when anime and manga were popular. This show finally finished, in 2009-2011 when the otaku market pretty much collapsed.
