* CaptainObviousReveal: Was anyone surprised that Miyama has a crush on Takakura?
* JustHereForGodzilla: Some people gravitate towards the series due to Creator/JunichiSato and Ikuko Itoh being involved, being key staff of Sailor Moon.
* {{Moe}}: Sae is a proto-''moe'' character, hitting several of the buttons: cute, clumsy, determined, and endearing.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The magic in the series are not explained in detail. This includes the original wand he found and grimoire being a 1st edition with lots of mistakes, as well as Miki's magic lineage.
* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The jokes done for {{Fanservice}} might make one believe it was strictly aimed at an otaku audience, but the franchise was actually aimed at young girls in Japan.
