1* AngstWhatAngst: Sela took [[spoiler: her father's murder]] surprisingly well. It's kinda creepy, even.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Stimulant, which plays during some of the best moments in the series, including the part were Dan finally starts using his unique style.
3* EnsembleDarkhorse: Miyuki. An absolute cutie that's also a WrenchWench and has some nice [[DoubleEntendre basketballs]] that bounce, on top of being a rare instance of black representation in anime? Website/FourChan was instantly sold on her, and so were apparently viewers on other anime forums. And of course the DemotedToExtra status she suffered in the second half of the show in favor of [[IdolSinger Rouge]] caused outrage.
4* FanNickname: Boobsquash.
5* LesYay: The Eclipse Girls showering together in episode 23.
6** Much earlier on, when there's a bar scene where Haruka and Sela share a long HeldGaze shifting between the two of them, and ending on a closeup of Haruka's lips curving in a malicious smile... We later learn that the two of them set up a DistractedByTheSexy plot.
7* TheScrappy: Rouge for a lot of reasons, most notably her shoving fan-favorite Miyuki to the background, [[spoiler: her being the focus of several episodes in the form of a brainwashing arc that went nowhere]] and her romantic arc with Dan seriously reeking of a rip-off of the ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' "protagonist dates IdolSinger" plotline that's been done one time too many (besides the usual RomanticPlotTumor trappings). Even Thomas Romain spoke out against the character, claiming she was never really meant to be anything more than one of Dan's friends and that the romance arc apparently got tacked on in the {{Retool}} of the show from a "fighting injustice" type of show to the "saving the world" plot it underwent in it's second half.
