* EnsembleDarkhorse: Juliano, Hashizo's odd cat, is quite memorable thanks to his funny one-liners.
* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: It was EXTREMELY POPULAR in Europe, especially Italy (where it was called ''Kiss Me Licia'').
** So popular in Italy that it got a 4-season long live series named ''Series/LoveMeLicia'' there, complete with a live version of ''Bee Hive'', [[NonSingingVoice dubbed]] by the same people who dubbed them in the anime. Cristina D'Avena, who performed the Italian theme song to the anime series (as well as hundreds of other animes), played Licia (Yakko) in the live-action version. In 2008, some components of Bee Hive put together an act called Bee Hive Reunion, made concerts where they [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj5RCUVed7E sang]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2swVBuUk-g the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xc5Dah9y2FY songs]] they sang in the series, and they even released [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByNLYtr6kE4 a new song]].
** Someone [[http://www.vocidicitta.it/societas/a-pranzo-da-zio-marrabbio-in-italia-nasce-il-ristorante-di-kiss-me-licia/ opened a Kiss Me Licia-themed restaurant]].
* JerkassWoobie:
** Juliano, the grumpy misogynist cat, is revealed to have a DarkAndTroubledPast. Flashbacks show him as a stray cat who was deeply in love with a female kitten, his only friend. After she abandoned him, he spent many years alone in the streets, while being insulted for his ugly appearance by strangers. Go and Hashizo were the first humans who showed him kindness.
** Meiko is an obsessive ClingyJealousGirl, but is genuinely in love with Satomi. In the anime she gets a sympathetic moment when Satomi harshly rejects her, leaving her heartbroken.
* {{Moe}}:
** The reason why Yakko is a DudeMagnet. A sweet, innocent, romantic girl who doesn't even realize how cute and charming she is. All the female characters in the series are the opposite of her: outspoken, confident, and aggressively chasing boys, so Yakko stands out as the naive, unassuming ObliviouslyBeautiful one.
** Hashizo is supposed to be this, as he's a precocious CheerfulChild who is considered adorable even by Yakko's grumpy father. However, fans find him too clingy and whiny, so he's more of a BaseBreakingCharacter.
* UglyCute: Juliano is constantly described as the ugliest cat ever by the other characters, but he's more chubby than outright ugly, and also one of the most personable and entertaining characters, especially when he shows his HiddenHeartOfGold.
* WatchItForTheMeme: Chances are Spanish viewers know this series as a result of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK8LgTO2u-8 "Searching Marika" video]]. Marika, Meiko's name in the dub, sounds similar to "marica", the Spanish word for "faggot".
