* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: With Nujabes's involvement in the soundtrack, it's no surprise. There's also the haunting song that Sara sings as part of her traveling performer act, and the one by Music/IkueAsazaki that plays over Mugen's flashbacks to his youth with Kohza and Mukuro.

Added DiffLines:

* MST3KMantra: With its opening disclaimer, the series makes it abundantly clear that it doesn't give a damn about being historically accurate and that we as the audience should just enjoy the show.


Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor: Of ''Cowboy Bebop''. Created by much of the same production team, stylistically the shows aren't too far removed. The fluid animation, episodic nature, the DarkAndTroubledPast of each character, the running theme of the protagonists struggling to earn enough just to survive another day and the way the music is integrated into the story makes these shows practically siblings. Casting Creator/SteveBlum as Mugen in the English version helps even more (though Mugen and Spike are extremely different characters).

** In a world full of dangerous swordfighters, Fuu is... decidedly not one of them. A little over a year later, however, her [[Creator/AyakoKawasumi Japanese voice actor]] would go on to play [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight one of the most famous swordswomen in all of anime]]. Her [[Creator/KariWahlgren English voice actor]] would follow suit [[LightNovel/FateZero five years later]].

* NightmareFuel:
** The zombie episode, especially the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kFy8AiSEPX0#t=1378 credits]], which include a JumpScare.
** Episode 15, "Bogus Booty":
*** The way the counterfeiter plans to torture the secret police. It involves molten gold and a funnel. TruthInTelevision in case you were wondering.
*** The beginning of the episode, which pans in on [[EnchantedForest a dark, mist-shrouded forest]]. A young man, clearly terrified and running for his life, pursued by ninjas from what seem to be several different clans working in tandem. There's no music, either tense or cheerful, and the ninjas [[AmbiguouslyHuman clearly aren't all human]], especially the ones with [[GlowingEyesOfDoom yellow eyes]] and glowing red fingernails.
** The scene where Mugen confronts Kohza and her boyfriend after they betray him and leave him for dead. Kohza's boyfriend attacks, [[CurbstompBattle but Mugen takes him out with three rapid-fire strikes]], [[CruelMercy then walks away as Kohza begs him to kill her too]]. Even the music gets your pulse going.
