* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The ending theme song "Nippon Egao Hyakkei" by Music/MomoiroCloverZ. The resurgence in popularity of the song on the app ''[=TikTok=]'' led to them doing a cover of it in mid-2021.
* AmericansHateTingle: Not surprisingly, the show's reliance on complicated Japanese wordplay and obscure references unknown outside the country gave it a chilly reception among American fans.
* AudienceAlienatingPremise: A series entirely about ''rakugo'' is a tough sell, even in Japan. Overseas? Just forget it.
* CantUnHearIt: Be careful when reading or listening to the ''Jugemu'' rakugo after watching this series. You'll never resist hearing the girls' rhythmic pronunciation of his name.
%%* CreepyCute: Kukuru, on a good day.
* LesYay:
** The [[SkinshipGrope nipple-rub game]], which shows up from time to time.
** In Episode 5, Marii talks about [[ItMakesSenseInContext Kabuki actors splurging on Christmas for the improvement of the economy]], referring to gambling, drinking and hookers. When she says 'hookers', [[ImagineSpot she's at a glitzy club with two scantily-clad women hanging off her arm]].
** Gankyou has a similar scene after one of the "nipple-rub game" sequences, showing high-school girls clinging to her at a karaoke place.
** There are also hints that Marii is rather popular at her all-girl high school.
* MemeticMutation: Dancing to the [[DancingTheme ending theme song]] became a trend on the app ''[=TikTok=]'' in early 2021.
* QuirkyWork: A textbook example, even by Japanese standards. "Cute girls doing cute things" is a common premise for anime and manga, but the fact that the girls in this series are ''rakugo'' performers --a classical form of comedy pretty much no one under 40 watches, ''even in Japan''-- takes it to a whole new height.
* VindicatedByHistory: The anime first aired in 2012, but in terms of popularity it simply came and went, as the premise of "cute girls who are rakugo performers" wasn't a very good sell in ''or'' out of Japan (as rakugo isn't a very popular form of entertainment among younger Japanese audiences, and most non-Japanese audiences are completely unfamiliar with it). However, after the ending theme song became a trend on ''[=TikTok=]'' in 2021, a number of people looked into the anime out of interest. This resulted in newfound appreciation for the show's wordplay and visual humor from American fans.
