Added DiffLines:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first episode features a relatively normal classroom scene, with students sitting at their desks, Suzui fulfilling his role of class president, and even an appearance from an ordinary adult teacher with a few lines of dialogue. For the rest of the series, the classroom aspect of Hyakkaou is entirely dropped to focus solely on gambling, with teachers nonexistent and adults relegated to shadowy figures in flashbacks.

* AntiClimax: The last episode of the first season is anime-original, and while it has input from the original author, [[spoiler:it's still a very basic game that ends up in a draw]], which doesn't make for a very exciting finale.

Updated the section about Asian people winning Academy Awards to reflect Michelle Yeoh's win for Everything Everywhere All At Once


* ArtisticLicenseAwards: The crux of Yumemite's plans at Hyakkaou revolve around the fact that she felt merely acting was "taking too long" for her to earn an Academy Award, so she joined Hyakkaou to increase her fame and earn one quicker. Unfortunately, this ignores the fact that the ''average'' age for Academy Award for Best Actress winners is ''thirty-six'', that only a handful of foreign-born actors have ever won it, and ''no'' Asian has ''ever'' won one. The Academy is notorious for blatant cronyism, with most award voters being middle-aged Caucasian-Americans who have traditionally leaned toward that demographic. In short, if Yumemite wants to win an Award, she has a ''lot'' of more important issues to overcome than "time" or "fame".

* ShoutOut: The place that Midari takes the protagonists in episode 6 seems to be inspired by the bathroom where the DeadlyGame from the very first ''Film/{{Saw}}'' takes place, specially considering the deteriorated state of the walls and pipes. The visual similarities are toned down in the live-action adaptation though.

Added DiffLines:

* HollywoodBoardGames: The Top Idol Championship has GuileHero Jabami and IdolSinger Yumemi face each other in several GameShow mini-games such as a dancing competition or collecting audience votes. Winning a mini-game gives the contestant a chance to put her tally on a TabletopGame/TicTacToe board's square. The first to complete a row, diagonally or linearly, is the winner of the Championship. Jabami's tally is a snake, which alludes to the meaning of her name: "snake-devouring dream girl". Overall, it's also kind of silly that such high stakes (both girls are gambling an exorbitant sum) are, in the end, decided but such a casual game like Tic-Tac-Toe.
