* ActorSharedBackground: A retroactive one in that Hikaru's actor Yosuke Ichikawa ended up retiring from the entertainment industry and becoming a high school teacher; cue jokes from all directions (including himself) about the magic teaacher becoming an actual teacher. By a twist of fate, one of his students (whom he also served as handball club advisor for) ended up being a certain person named Yuu Inaba, who would later become known among toku fans as [[Series/KamenRiderDrive Gou Shijima]].



* [[CaliforniaDoubling New Zealand Doubling]]: The series is ''presumably'' supposed to take place in some city in Japan, but during production Toei staff saw pictures of the New Zealand scenery from ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' filming and decided to film the series (or at least parts of it) there, both because they felt the scenery was suitable for the fantasy atmosphere and to facilitate filming for [[Series/PowerRangersMysticForce its corresponding sister series]]. This has the odd side effect of having extras hanging around crowd scenes who distinctly do ''not'' look Japanese.
