1* ActorAllusion:
2** An extended one for Creator/{{Mugihito}}, the voice of the Alien Captain, who played Jean-Luc Picard in the Japanese dub of ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' -- including a part where the aliens randomly turn into TNG lookalikes. At one point he watches the movie ''Excalibur'', specifically the part where Creator/PatrickStewart's character vainly attempts to lift the sword from the stone.
3*** He also briefly turns into [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Keel Lorenz]], also voiced by Mugihito.
4** There are some chalkboard gags that exhibits this. One episode there's a scribble saying "Embarrassing [=StaXment=] Are Prohibited" this refers to [[Manga/{{Aria}} Aika Granzchesta's]] CatchPhrase. Aika and Becky are both voiced by Chiwa Saito.
5** Kinda, for Akane Serizawa. She's voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro, the VA of [[Anime/GalaxyAngel Mint Blancmanche]]. Both characters are obsessed with mascot costumes.
6** In the OVA, Ichijou has the same hairstyle and school uniform as [[Manga/SayonaraZetsubouSensei Kafuka Fuura]]. Both are voiced by Creator/AiNonaka.
7* AllStarCast: Both the English and Japanese dubs are filled with veteran voice actors… though due to the show's huge cast, there are plenty of newbies and unknowns too.
8* CelebrityVoiceActor: Mesousa is voiced by the singer and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benshi benshi]] Vanilla Yamazaki.
9* DawsonCasting: Averted with one voice in the English dub – Rei's VA was in high school at the time of recording. Ironically, some dub critics complained that Rei sounded too old.
10* TheOtherDarrin:
11** In the English dub, Alien Captain changed voice actors in episode 15 due to Mike [=MacRae=] leaving Houston. This is of course lampshaded in the dialogue.
12--->"New helmet. But that's beside the point!"
13** The Giant Salamander has a different voice every episode it appears in. No one ever comments on it.
14* StarMakingRole:
15** Brittney Karbowski as Himeko. This is one of her earliest lead roles, and her success in this Houston-based dub soon led to Creator/{{Funimation}} casting her for Dallas-based dubs like ''Manga/SoulEater'' (her breakout there) and ''Manga/BGataHKei''.
16** To a lesser extent, Creator/MelissaDavis as Kurumi and Creator/MaggieFlecknoe as Ichijo.
