1!! Voice acting

3* TheOtherDarrin: Fuji-hime was voiced by Creator/IkueOtani 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.

7As 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]].

42* The theme songs for ''Ajisai Yumegatari'' and ''Shiroki Ryuu no Miko'' were sung by DASEIN. Later anime adaptations, however, started to employ voice actors from the show itself to do the opening and ending, and the credits list their respective characters' names before their actual names. For "who is who" see below:
43** ''Hachiyou Shou'' opening, "Haruka, Kimi no Moto e..." - [[Creator/TomokazuSeki Morimura Tenma]], [[Creator/NaozumiTakahashi Inori]], [[Creator/KoukiMiyata Nagareyama Shimon]];
44** ''Hachiyou Shou'' ending, "flowin' ~Ukigumo~" - [[Creator/YuuAsakawa Sefuru]], [[Creator/HoukoKuwashima Ran]].
45** ''Kurenai no Tsuki'' opening, "Unmei no Tsuki wa Kurenai" - [[Creator/NaozumiTakahashi Hinoe]], [[Creator/KoukiMiyata Musashibo Benkei]], [[Creator/SoichiroHoshi Taira no Atsumori]].
46** ''Kurenai no Tsuki'' ending, "Gyakufu no Toki ni Hitori" - [[Creator/ShinichiroMiki Arikawa Masaomi]].
47** ''Owarinaki Unmei'' opening, "Kirameki no Tsuki" - [[Creator/NaozumiTakahashi Hinoe]], [[Creator/KazuhikoInoue Kajiwara Kagetoki]].
48** ''Owarinaki Unmei'' ending, "Yuukyuu no Gekkou" - [[Creator/ShinichiroMiki Arikawa Masaomi]], [[Creator/TomokazuSeki Minamoto no Kurou Yoshitsune]].

50* 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 EndingTheme 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''.
51* The title of ''Hachiyou Shou'' TV 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.
52* The flower referenced in the manga in relation to Yasuaki's creation, ''kikyou'' ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platycodon_grandiflorus platycodon grandiflorus]]), isn't random -- it is associated with Abe no Seimei and the Five Elements.
53* 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[[note]]unless you ''only'' watched ''Hachiyou Shou'' and failed to pick on the leftover hints[[/note]]) 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).
54* Prior to ''Haruka 3'', which started to use characters based on specific historical figures, the members of the famous clans appearing in the series -- Minamoto, Fujiwara, Tachibana, Abe and Taira -- had made-up given names, although many of them attempted to follow the general naming pattern prevalent in that clan.
55* The story involving Yorihisa and the last Nue might be a reference to the part of ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_the_Heike Heike Monogatari]]'' about Minamoto no Yorimasu killing a nue. Somewhat unfittingly, the time period in which ''Heike Monogatari'' takes place occurs much later (it was referenced eventually in ''Haruka 3'').
56* BonusMaterial
57* 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).
58* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: "[=HaruToki=]"; also "[=HaruHachi=]" for ''Hachiyou Shou''.
