Based on the manga by Yuto and produced by Creator/StudioGainax, the series aired in the winter 2009/2010 season.

** [[KojiYusa Hanamaru-sensei]] used to be [[Series/KamenRiderDenO a lot better with women]]...

** And [[ShakuganNoShana Tsuchida]]-[[LightNovel/ZeroNoTsukaima sensei]] [[Creator/SatoshiHino too]].

** At the end of the second special, Anzu [[NeonGenesisEvangelion promises more fanservice]].

!Tropes in ''Hanamaru Kindergarten'' include:

* ShoutOut: The last frame of Episode 2 has the three main toddlers in a pose reminiscent of ''GurrenLagann'''s Simon, Kamina, and Yoko... and Hii is wearing Yoko's signature outfit.

*** In the manga, she mentions [[GundamSEED the Bloody Valentine War]] instead of the Ishval War.

Based on the manga by Yuto and produced by {{Gainax}}, the series aired in the winter 2009/2010 season.

** When the girls follow Tsuchida around in episode 5, they all dress as DetectiveConan.

* TheMessiah: Yamamoto-sensei is a shining beacon of light and goodness, if [[ObliviousToLove a bit oblivious in some areas]].

** And [[ShakuganNoShana Tsuchida]]-[[LightNovel/ZeroNoTsukaima sensei]] [[SatoshiHino too]].

* HotShounenMom: Sakura, justified in that she had Anzu at 18, and hence has a better time keeping in good shape unlike, say, a woman who does the same at 35.
** Point in fact, is there ''any'' mom in this series who ''isn't'' young and adorable?

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Anzu, to Tsuchida, in episode 12.

** [[KojiYusa Hanamaru-sensei]] used to be [[{{KamenRiderDen-O}} a lot better with women]]...

** Hiiragi's space dreams include ''PlanetOfTheApes'', the ''[[Franchise/StarTrek USS Enterprise]]'', {{Ultraman}}, Film/ETTheExtraterrestrial and a fight with [[StarWars Darth Vader]].

** In episode 4, Tsuchida and Anzu ride a toy version of [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Misato's car]].
** When Hiiragi's explaining the things that could happen to Yuu in episode 5, she lists off the [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Second Impact]] and the [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Ishval War]].

*** The capsule machine the girls see Tsuchida buying figurines from sells NeonGenesisEvangelion merchandise.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Yamamoto in her swimsuit. [[{{Trope Namer}}Although Gainaxing in a Gainax produced show seems redundant, somehow.]]

* BigBrotherComplex: Satsuki definitely shows signs of being a Type 2.

* ArtShift: ''[[http://manga.animea.net/hanamaru-youchien-chapter-1-page-10.html This]]'' is the first look we get at the girls in the manga, a very deliberate attempt to make the readers think this will be a serious romance/drama in the vein of ''KodomoNoJikan''. Then on the next page we get a [[http://manga.animea.net/hanamaru-youchien-chapter-1-page-11.html better look at them]].

** Tsuchida is still talking about it to his sister just before his first day, albeit as a joke, in the manga.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Yamamoto-sensei is what happens when [[{{Manga/ARIA}} Akari Mizunashi]] became a kindergarten teacher minus the [[CloudCuckooLander absent-mindedness]].

* LateForSchool: Tsuchida is, the first episode. And yes, he meets an important member of the opposite sex.

* PreMeeting: Tsuchida meets Anzu for the first time on the way to his first day at work, when he sees her alone on the side of the road. He addresses her and "Ojou-chan" - essentially "Miss" or "little lady" - and she jumps to the conclusion that he's hitting on her. Of course, he's her teacher, and the [[HilarityEnsues misunderstanding persists]].

*** The capsule machine the girls see Tsuchida buying figurines from sells NeonGenesisEvangelion merchandise.

*** There was also an appearance of what seem to be a [[Warhammer40K Battle Barge]]!

** As befits a manga published by (and an anime sponsored by) Square Enix, Tsuchida often plays [[DragonQuest Dragon Quest IX]] on his DS.

* ISeeLondon: 'Koume's underwear is white!'

* CompletelyMissingThePoint: Anzu assumes that Tsuchida calling her a "young lady" means that he's coming on to her.

** Hiiragi's space dreams include ''PlanetOfTheApes'', the ''[[StarTrek USS Enterprise]]'', {{Ultraman}}, Film/ETTheExtraterrestrial and a fight with [[StarWars Darth Vader]].
