Line #5 ShoutOut/SpacePatrolLuluco


1	[[foldercontrol]]
2
3	[[folder: Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt]]
4	* The artstyle appears to be based on ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''. Straight, thick lines and all, minus the ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''-styled eyes. The transformation sequences may have also been based on the transformations from said anime, with the energy circles going down from top to bottom to don the Space Patrol with new clothes.
5	* All the phones look like remodels of the Heaven GPS'.
6	* Midori buying stuff with the Illegal Blackhole App and [[spoiler: using it to turn her hand gigantic]] bears similarities to Panty and Stocking accidentally summoning Judgement down to crush Corset.
7	* Space Patrol Luluco having multiple seasons under only 13 episodes is Studio TRIGGER slighly making fun of the fans constantly asking for more seasons of PASWG.

12	!! Episode 1
13	* [[Anime/WoosersHandToMouthLife Wooser]] makes several appearances, most notably as one of Luluco's classmates.
14	* Over Justice's job, demeanor, [[Creator/TetsuInada actor]], and [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kruger.jpg trademark hand gesture]] are all an elaborate ShoutOut to Doggie Kruger of ''Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger''.
15	* The siren is the same re-used sound effect as the siren used for the car of [[Anime/KillLaKill Mako's dad]].
16
17	!!Episode 3
18	* Midori's gang includes some WesternAnimation/StreetSharks.
19	* The black hole app uses the same GUI as ''Anime/KillLaKill''.

21
22	[[folder:Season 2]]
23	!! Episode 1
24	* The entire episode is one big Shout Out to ''Film/Armageddon1998'':
25	** The plot revolves around having to fly into space to stop a meteor from reaching "zero barrier" and causing massive damage to Earth
26	** Alpha Omega Nova asks Luluco to promise him she will return [[spoiler: and has an emotional video call when she fears she will not make it]]
27	** Luluco is almost [[spoiler:[[MutualKill blown up with the meteor]] like Harry was in the end]] before she uses Judgement Gun Morphing to escape
28	* Midori in [[http://imgur.com/4iPlZNp this frame]] is drawn in a style reminiscent of ''Manga/GeGeGeNoKitaro''. Her third eye even stands in for Medama-Oyaji.
29	* The space shuttle is designed after Astrotrain from ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1''.
30	* [[spoiler: Luluco's mother's]] BadassCape appears to be made out of [[Anime/KillLaKill Life Fibers]].
31	* Wooser once again shows up in the Pop-Up Pirate game.
32
33
34	!! Episode 2
35	* Over Justice's [[spoiler:sudden animation bump and his true appearance is basically the [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]], not to mention that his gun form is [[VideoGame/ShadowsOfTheDamned another shout out altogether]].]]
36	* [[spoiler:Lalaco and Over Justice's [[CurbStompBattle incredibly short battle]] is reminiscent to the fight with [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Ramiel]], minus the bending of their shots around the other. Over Justice's [[ILetYouWin response]] to losing, however, is a blatant ''Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail'' reference.]]
37	* The very [[MemeticMutation infamous]] '[[Literature/NinjaSlayer YEEEART]]' returns.
38	* The pirate ship's arms are identical to those of [[spoiler: [[Anime/KillLaKill Honnouji Academy's robot form]].]]
39
40	!! Episode 3
41	* In ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' Lordgenome is reduced to a head but can still control the spaceship as a bio-computer. Here, the same thing happens to Keiji, whose remaining slice of head is used in the same fashion, as a living navigator device.
42	* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' gets parodied with the alert that appears on the pirate spaceship when Midori is using her illegal app against them: BLOOD TYPE GREEN - MIDDLE SCHOOL GIRL. It's a parody of the [[http://evaxephon.com/ComparisonGallery/EvaXephon-132.gif standard alert screen]] that appears on NERV terminals whenever an Angel attacks.

44
45	[[folder:Season 3]]
46	!! Episode 1
47	* The episode in its entirety, is another reference to ''Anime/KillLaKill''. ''[[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic DON'T LOSE YOUR WAAAAAAY]]~''
48	* [[spoiler: Kill ** Killian]] mentions taking on the form of everyone's greatest desire, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion similar to Rei during Third Impact]].
49	* [[Anime/{{Kiznaiver}} Gomorin]] can be seen among the various aliens in episode 7 (standing right next to Guts). And next to him is [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Garnet]].
50	* Over Justice uses [[Literature/WhenSupernaturalBattlesBecameCommonplace Dark and Dark]] to [[spoiler: burn up Kill ** Killian's threads.]]
51
52	! Episode 2
53	* The episode is [[spoiler: an unabashed {{Crossover}} with ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia'', with Sucy appearing named in a supporting role.]]
54	** This ShoutOut goes BeyondTheImpossible in that the series was, at that time, a pair of short films, effectively Luluco crossed over ''with the pilot episodes''!
55
56	! Episode 3
57	* This episode is a crossover with the ''SEX and VIOLENCE with MACHSPEED''.
58	[[/folder]]
59
60	[[folder:Season 4]]
61	!! Episode 1
62	* [[spoiler:The Blackholians]] are somewhat similar to [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann the Anti-Spirals]], in that they travel the universe and wait until a civilization is fully developed... so that they can steal all of their most valuable stuff. [[spoiler:The scene with the Blackholian looming over Luluco's dying body]] is similar to the scene in ''Lagann-Hen'' where it looks like the Anti-Spiral is about to rape Nia.
63	** They also have black holes for faces, much like, well, [[Manga/{{Kinnikuman}} Black Hole]].
64	* [[spoiler:Nova's]] [[EvilAllAlong betrayal]] draws some parallels to [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Stocking Anarchy]].
65	* Lalaco is seen holding what seems [[Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia Shiny Chariot's rod]].
66	** or maybe it is the dark rod created by Croix, as a Call-forward.
67	* When [[spoiler:the Blackholian]] says that now they want to steal only useless and trashy stuff, the last image representing said stuff is a detail from the poster of the infamous B-movie ''Not Of This Earth''. Before that there were every kinds of things including dinosaurs, the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu_(lost_continent) Lost Continent of Mu]], ancient mysterious objects such as the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism Antikythera Mechanism]] and several modern-day junk, including [[http://ace2.fc2web.com/image/kairu.JPG Kairu the dolphin]] (the Japanese version of Clippy) and [[http://imgur.com/a/CFUSB a tape]] taken from the Anime/JapanAnimatorExpo short ''[[http://animatorexpo.com/cassettegirl/ Cassette Girl]]'' ([[http://animatorexpo.com/img/title_35/modeling/18.jpg here]], if you are curious).
68	* The [[spoiler: Blackholian]] is basically a recolor from an enemy in Series/PowerRangersSPD Also note that [=S.P.D.=] stands for '''Space Patrol''' Delta.
69	!! Episode 2
70	* Who else would be in [[spoiler:Hell]] but [[spoiler:WebAnimation/InfernoCop]]? He is seen eating with a fork that [[http://postimg.org/image/v8oin9lox/ looks like]] one of the wands from ''Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia''.
71	* Speaking of [[spoiler:Hell]], it looks like the aftermath of a [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Third ]][[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Impact]].
72	!! Episode 3
73	%% While presumably not an intentional reference, [[spoiler:Nova]]'s [[Literature/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas heart grew three sizes that day]].
74	* Nova is revealed to be horribly scarred in this episode. Two of his scars are long and run down his back, which gives off the impression that he had wings at one point. Another one is on his forehead, implying that he was injured there. This basically means that Nova is an expy of [[spoiler:Anime/{{Panty An\|dStockingWithGarterbelt}}archy]].
75	** Another scar on his back resembles the [[Anime/{{Kiznaiver}} Kizna Emblem]].
76	** When he first shows up in the episode, he's sitting the same way that Kaworu did in ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]]''.
77	* [[spoiler:After gaining the ability to feel, Nova tells the Blackholian he's not his puppet anymore. Several people noticed the similarity between him and [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Brief's pretty boy form]], and in fact]] Brief himself tells his father that he's not his doll anymore near the end of his series... which, in turn, was a reference to [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei Ayanami]] telling that same line to Gendo Ikari before merging with Lilith.
78	* Luluco's BadassArmfold while riding on [[spoiler: Lalaco's pirate ship]] is near identical to [[Anime/GunBuster GunBuster riding on the bow of the Exelion]].
79	** Riding on [[spoiler: the ship]] in general [[FridgeBrilliance is actually kind of fitting]], [[ActorAllusion considering]] [[Creator/MaoIchimichi Luluco's actress]] and [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger what it sort of resembles already]].
80	[[/folder]]
81
82	[[folder:Season Final]]
83	* During the final battle, Luluco says "[[VisualNovel/FateStayNight People die when they are shot]]."
84	* Nova gets several more scenes referencing Kaworu from ''Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion''. His head is the target of the Blackholian black hole bomb that detonates the moment he does something against them and he later has a scene where he's traveling across the screen similar to Kaworu's brief appearance as Mari removes Shinji's entry plug near the end of 3.0. He even promises they'll meet again.
85	* When she powers up, Luluco's side-tie migrates to the top of her head to resemble Nono's IdiotHair from ''Anime/DieBuster''.
86	* At the end, Lalaco is attacking a ''Anime/{{Kiznaiver}}'' planet.
87	* Luluco turns into [[SeriesMascot Miss Trigger]].
88	* [[spoiler: Nova's death involving the defeat of their greatest enemy despite the fact that he will disappear with them is very reminiscent of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Nia's death.]] ]]
89	* In TheStinger, Luluco high-fives [[Franchise/LittleWitchAcademia Akko]], signaling that ''Little Witch Academia'' is getting another continuation. I guess having your company's own mascot high-five you indicates your series is up next.
90	* Ariel Suzuki (herself an [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles April O'Neil]] Expy) of ''Inferno Cop'' shows up at the end.
