* QuirkyWork: Due to being based almost entirely on Japanese foodstuffs. It was especially trippy in its early years, but it is now merely weird.



** Rollpanna in the Tubi dubs has two voice actors, a more masculine one and a more feminine one. In at least one movie where her masculine voice actor is used, no clarification is given on her being a woman, which can lead to an audience member mistaking her for a male despite other Tubi dub movies confirming her as a woman and as Melonpanna and Creampanda's older sister.

** The series often gets paired with WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends for many reasons. For one, both the original stories came out from the aftermath of War World 2 and the series feature a lot of characters with colorful personalities. The other is that a lot of the voice actors from both the Japanese and Latin American sides work on the series (the best example is Keiko Toda who voices the titular character in both shows).

* FoeYay: Between Anpanman and Baikinman, especially in the kindergarten movies...but that doesn't count, since in the movies, they are friends. But in other cases, such as in some of the main movies and episodes, Baikinman says he was born to defeat Anpanman, like it's his life's purpose. He's very dedicated to (defeating) Anpanman, to say the least. He even has a TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou moment in ''Shine! Kulun and the Stars of Life'' and helps save him.

** Well, since they are friends in the kindergarten movies, Anpanman and Baikinman would count as this.
** Also Baikinman and Horrorman.

** Well, since they are friends in the kindergarten movies, Anpanman and Baikinman would count as this. \n They seem awfully close in these {{OVA}}s and some other educational specials.
** Also Baikinman and Horrorman. There's a moment in one of the {{Edutainment}} {{OVA}}s where, after getting lost in a store and being found, Baikinman goes toward Anpanman for a hug whilst crying, only for Anpanman to put Horrorman in front of him, leading to Baikinman and Horrorman hugging and Horrorman blushing... despite Horrorman being a skeleton.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap:
** Princess Durian is sometimes fans' least favorite character due to how she relies too much for Anpanman and how she indirectly makes Creampanda suffer from her reckless actions whenever they get paired up. While it does give some comedic value to the character, some fans felt that it was too tiresome or hate how Creampanda is treated. By the 2010s, Durian became more self independent against Baikinman until Anpanman rescues her, a bit more kind and doesn't appear too much with Creampanda that much.

** Horrorman is a cheerful skeleton who's too goofy and good-natured to be effective at his job, and enjoys being nice to people. One of ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'''s characters is a skeleton named Papyrus who ends up being an IneffectualSympatheticVillain because of how kind-hearted and silly he is.

* PeripheryDemographic: It has to exist one way or another what with the show running this long. Though a more surprising case is that they ''do'' have fans from the West who are indeed not in the targeted age group albeit very underground, and often leads to expressing their "[[StupidSexyFlanders frustrations]]" toward certain characters. Famously, [[Franchise/{{Zorro}} Naganegiman]]. [[SturgeonsLaw As usual]], these kind of things happen on Website/{{Tumblr}}.
