1* AdaptationDisplacement: Outside of Japan, there are many fans of the anime who don't even know it's [[InNameOnly very loosely]] based on a video game.
2* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In one scene, Volcott is about six inches tall while Forte and Ranpha are yelling at him, and Forte tosses him into a cactus. He's normal-sized upon impact and the size shift is never mentioned, let alone explained. Then she [[RocketPunch rocket punches]] him somehow.
3* DifficultySpike: Moonlit Lovers and Eternal Lovers are significantly more challenging than the first game. First of all, in Moonlit Lovers, you don't start out with all the Emblem Frames regardless of whose route you're playing, so the first few battles are difficult since you aren't controlling many ships. Second, since Moonlit Lovers is where Tact and his chosen Angel start having problems, sometimes your chosen Angel's efficiency will take a dive due to her being distracted, so you have to fight with a nerfed "team ace". Also, for plot reasons, in Moonlit Lovers' final battle you have to fight ''without'' your chosen Angel entirely. And in Eternal Lovers, there are a couple of battles where you have to fight with your chosen Angel put out of commission and one battle where you start with ''half of the Elsior's health'', and even in a couple of battles with your chosen Angel, she's too distracted to fight properly thanks to problems between Tact and his chosen Angel.
4* FanNickname: ''Cheetos'' for Chitose.
5* HilariousInHindsight: An episode of the third season of the anime has the Angel Brigade trying to activate a magic wand, only to find themselves humiliated because of the "ritual", after they found out the wand was fake. [[Creator/MiyukiSawashiro Mint]] and [[Creator/YukariTamura Ranpha]] would later become actual {{Magical Girl}}s (the former as [[Anime/GoPrincessPrettyCure Cure Scarlet]], and the latter as [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Nanoha]] and [[Anime/HugttoPrettyCure Cure Amour]]). [[Creator/RyokoShintani Milfeulle]] and [[Creator/MikaKanai Vanilla]] would also be related to Magical Girls (the former as [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Hitomi Shizuki]], and the latter as [[Anime/KiraKiraPrecureALaMode Pekorin]]).
6* MoralEventHorizon: Eonia in the first game crosses it when he sends the Black Moon to attack Fargo's residential district and devastate Planet Rhome, killing thousands of civilians just to prove a point. From that point on the heroes realize there's no way to negotiate peace with him.
7* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound:
8** That sound when Mint's ears perk up sends some Tropers into paroxysms of delight.
9** The Angels' voices, all of them. Milfeulle sounds like a cute girl you might meet next door, Ranpha manages to pull of the impossible combination of "adorable" and "sexy," Mint's calm and graceful voice is soothing to hear, Forte sounds wise even when she's ''not'' being serious, Vanilla's soft and whispery voice earned her a lot of fans, and Chitose sounds as pleasant as you can expect from a Yamato Nadeshiko.
10** Also in the games: There are escalating "harp pluck" sounds when you raise a particular Angel's affection. The "full scale" version when you get a ''big'' affection boost will make you fist-pump every time.
11* NightmareFuel: Malibu turning into a doll and collapsing in the Hell episode is really damned creepy-looking, especially the slack jaw and wholly unnecessary row of peglike teeth. And the camera ''lingers'' on him.
12* NoYay: Due to Ranpha's [[ZanyScheme Re-enact Romantic Moments]] plan to help Chitose with her [[AmnesiacLover condition]], she essentially strong-arms Forte to act out the male part. There's an event CG just for this, showing just before Forte and Ranpha kisses. Tact stops them just before the act, and while Ranpha (romantic as she is) protests Tact's interruption, Forte is visibly {{Squick}}ed by what she had to do.
13* ViewerGenderConfusion: Riserva Chianti, Mint's Hell Hound Counterpart. It doesn't help that sources give conflicting ideas. The game seems to consider Riserva a female, while the manga treats Riserva as male.
