Video Tape (TV series)/YMMV


 * Alternative Character Interpretation:
 * Is Scat an amoral predator who only tries to eat Ruby because he needs to survive, or a big bully who torments her Gor the Evulz? The Christmas special "The Night Before Christmas" seems to imply the former, although there are some instances where he doesn't seem to be hungry.
 * Base-Breaking Character:
 * Princess Orchid is either liked for her quirky charm and her heartwarming personality, or disliked for being a Kacie Expy.
 * Cult Classic:
 * Despite not getting as much attention as other Kuboian animated series of the 1990s, it has still managed to build up a passionate fanbase.
 * Draco in Leather Pants:
 * Scat. A portion of the fanbase see him as Not Evil, Just Misunderstood given he is capable of being friendly towards most of the characters and believe he is just trying to eat Ruby in order to survive. This is ignoring the fact he has the tendency to cause large rampages and tries to devour the entire Toyblock Castle on at least one occasion.
 * Iconic Character, Forgotten Title:
 * Chances are a lot of people nowadays recognise Ruby but couldn't tell you where she came from.
 * Signature Scene:
 * If there is one thing people remember about the show, it's the opening.
 * A close second is the scenes in which Ruby traverses through the world in the dark whilst trance music plays in the background.
 * Strawman Has a Point:
 * Whilst the show ridicules King Fry for his laziness, there really doesn't seem to be much of a reason for him not to be, given that Toyblock Castle barely deals with intruders and/or problems, and when it does, Princess Orchid normally has things under control. It seems the writers realised this, as later episodes either justify his more laid back nature or show the consequences of him unwilling to take responsibility.
 * The Problem with Licensed Games:
 * Video Tape Adventure is generally seen as So Okay, It's Average by the fanbase. The PlayStation is fairly ambitious with its open-world gameplay and wide variety of addictive minigames, it has a camera that regularly clips out of bounds and controlling Ruby is an absolute nightmare. The Game Boy Color version on the other hand has a decent selection of levels but has some odd level design choices.
 * Unintentional Uncanny Valley:
 * The show's CGI is rather dated, especially the character models, who all have no shading at all and completely featureless designs. That being said, the fanbase like this because they feel it gives the show nostalgia.
