** ''Hachiyou Shou'' opening, "Haruka, Kimi no Moto e..." - [[Creator/TomokazuSeki Morimura Tenma]], [[NaozumiTakahashi Inori]], [[KoukiMiyata Nagareyama Shimon]];
** ''Hachiyou Shou'' ending, "flowin' ~Ukigumo~" - [[YuuAsakawa Sefuru]], [[Creator/HoukoKuwashima Ran]].
** ''Kurenai no Tsuki'' opening, "Unmei no Tsuki wa Kurenai" - [[NaozumiTakahashi Hinoe]], [[KoukiMiyata Musashibo Benkei]], [[Creator/SoichiroHoshi Taira no Atsumori]].

** ''Owarinaki Unmei'' opening, "Kirameki no Tsuki" - [[NaozumiTakahashi Hinoe]], [[Creator/KazuhikoInoue Kajiwara Kagetoki]].

** ''Hachiyou Shou'' ending, "flowin' ~Ukigumo~" - [[YuuAsakawa Sefuru]], [[HoukoKuwashima Ran]].

* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: "[=HaruToki=]"; also "[=HaruHachi=]" for ''Hachiyou Shou''.

* CashCowFranchise: Definitely heading this way. Let's see: the series has been around for ten years, has exhausted its initial setting, the manga adaptation has ended... yet they're now making the fifth game (which was initially a subject of controversy due to changing the cast and the time period).

** ''Owarinaki Unmei'' opening, "Kirameki no Tsuki" - [[NaozumiTakahashi Hinoe]], [[KazuhikoInoue Kajiwara Kagetoki]].

* TalkingToHimself: In the OAV ''Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 2: Shiroki Ryuu no Miko'' both of the Fujiwara twins (Yukari-hime and Misono) are voiced by [[IkueOhtani Ohtani Ikue]], who voiced Fuji-hime in the first storyline. Not surprising given that both are [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of Fuji, but since the twins are of opposite gender, the voice differs slightly depending on who is talking.
* TheOtherDarrin: Fuji-hime was voiced by [[IkueOhtani Ohtani Ikue]] in ''Ajisai Yumegatari'' and ''Hachiyou Shou''. The ''Maihitoyo'' movie gave this role to [[Creator/SatomiKoorogi Koorogi Satomi]]. Arguably an easy-to-do transition, given that Fuji is a ten-year-old child who would presumably have a slightly more "generic" voice than the more grown-up central cast.

** ''Kurenai no Tsuki'' opening, "Unmei no Tsuki wa Kurenai" - [[NaozumiTakahashi Hinoe]], [[KoukiMiyata Musashibo Benkei]], [[SoichiroHoshi Taira no Atsumori]].

* HeyItsThatVoice: The interaction between Yorihisa (ShinichiroMiki) and Tenma (Creator/TomokazuSeki) might remind some of the watchers of ''{{Escaflowne}}''.

** ''Kurenai no Tsuki'' ending, "Gyakufu no Toki ni Hitori" - [[ShinichiroMiki Arikawa Masaomi]].

** ''Owarinaki Unmei'' ending, "Yuukyuu no Gekkou" - [[ShinichiroMiki Arikawa Masaomi]], [[Creator/TomokazuSeki Minamoto no Kurou Yoshitsune]].

* TheOtherDarrin: Fuji-hime was voiced by [[IkueOhtani Ohtani Ikue]] in ''Ajisai Yumegatari'' and ''Hachiyou Shou''. The ''Maihitoyo'' movie gave this role to [[SatomiKoorogi Koorogi Satomi]]. Arguably an easy-to-do transition, given that Fuji is a ten-year-old child who would presumably have a slightly more "generic" voice than the more grown-up central cast.

* HeyItsThatVoice: The interaction between Yorihisa ([[ShinichiroMiki Miki Shin'ichirou]]) and Tenma ([[TomokazuSeki Seki Tomokazu]]) might remind some of the watchers of ''{{Escaflowne}}''.

** As noted above, Miki Shin'ichirou and Seki Tomokazu are [[{{Samurai}} Minamoto no Yorihisa]] and [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Morimura Tenma]], the two Seiryuu Hachiyou.
** Likewise, [[SoichiroHoshi Hoshi Souichirou]] and [[AkiraIshida Ishida Akira]] are Eisen and [[{{Onmyodo}} Abe no Yasuaki]], the two Genbu Hachiyou.

** ''Hachiyou Shou'' opening, "Haruka, Kimi no Moto e..." - [[TomokazuSeki Morimura Tenma]], [[NaozumiTakahashi Inori]], [[KoukiMiyata Nagareyama Shimon]];

** ''Owarinaki Unmei'' ending, "Yuukyuu no Gekkou" - [[ShinichiroMiki Arikawa Masaomi]], [[TomokazuSeki Minamoto no Kurou Yoshitsune]].

* For reasons probably having to do with [[CompressedAdaptation time constraints]], ''Hachiyou Shou'' TV never references or explains the seal on Yasuaki's face. Simply not including the details of Yasuaki's origins (which is not even a spoiler anyway[[hottip:*:unless you ''only'' watched ''Hachiyou Shou'' and failed to pick on the leftover hints]]) until the InternalReveal would be one thing, but not mentioning the seal at all belongs to the UnusuallyUninterestingSight trope. As a result, they skipped over an arguably important part when the seal ''disappears'' (which would have happened during the abovementioned scene in episode 23).

* [=~Hey, It's That Voice!~=]: The interaction between Yorihisa ([[ShinichiroMiki Miki Shin'ichirou]]) and Tenma ([[TomokazuSeki Seki Tomokazu]]) might remind some of the watchers of ''{{Escaflowne}}''.

As mentioned in the main article, the ''Hachiyou Shou'' anime uses a ''tanka'' poem in each episode, at the start of the ending sequence. These poems come from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kokin_Wakash%C5%AB Kokin Wakashuu]], an anthology composed during the early Heian Period (hence its use in ''Haruka''). A list of poems used in the TV series can be retrieved from [[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%81%99%E3%81%8B%E3%81%AA%E3%82%8B%E6%99%82%E7%A9%BA%E3%81%AE%E4%B8%AD%E3%81%A7-%E5%85%AB%E8%91%89%E6%8A%84-#.E5.92.8C.E6.AD.8C Japanese Wikipedia]].

** ''Hachiyou Shou'' ending, [="flowin' ~Ukigumo~"=] - [[YuuAsakawa Sefuru]], [[HoukoKuwashima Ran]].

* The ending sequence for ''Hachiyou Shou'' TV, which consists of the mangaka's illustrations of the Hachiyou, normally shows the characters in the order of Seiryuu -> Suzaku -> Byakko -> Genbu. "Heaven" goes before "Earth", except for the Suzaku pair, for some reason. If the EndingSong is replaced with a character's ImageSong for CharacterFocus episode, however, the sequence is recut so that it starts with the Hachiyou who was the main star of the episode. For Yasuaki, who happens to be at the very end of the sequence, the order was ''reversed''.

* The title of ''Hachiyou Shou'' episode 23, "かわたれ" (''Kawatare''), is written in kanji as 彼は誰. It is an archaic term for "twilight" (akin to 黄昏 ''tasogare''), which literally means "who is that (person)?". A particular famous scene from the episode in question employs both meanings.

For those curious about the poem numbers in the anthology, here they are:
