* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The prototype for ''Blue Exorcist'' is in the anthology ''Time Killers'', under the name ''[[http://aonoexorcist.wikia.com/wiki/The_Miyama-Uguisu_Mansion_Incident The Miyama-Uguisu Mansion Incident]]''.

* CastingGag:
** This isn't the first time Creator/MonaMarshall played the smart guy in an anime. She also voiced Izzy in ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' and [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 its sequel]]. She even uses the same voice for both characters.
** Izumo has purple hair, highly adept in her magic, and has friendship issues. If this sounds familiar, Creator/KiraBuckland also voiced Twilight Sparkle in the ''WebAnimation/PonyDotMov'' animations.
** This isn't the first time Creator/SamRiegel voiced [[Anime/ShamanKing a character based on the story of]] ''Literature/DoctorFaustus.''
** A minor example, but this certainly isn't the [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann first time]] the suicide of a Creator/JohnnyYongBosch character has been thwarted by a punch from the HotBlooded protagonist.
** Creator/DavidVincent is Arthur, who's basically [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Jin Kisaragi]] in all but name. [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking High ranking soldier in an organized military]], blonde, and a [[{{Jerkass}} massive jackass.]] The only real difference between the two is that Arthur is blindly loyal to his government, while Jin couldn't care less about his.
** This isn't the first time Creator/JessicaDiCicco has voiced [[http://aonoexorcist.wikia.com/wiki/Ucchusma a character]] made of [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime flames]].
** Once again, Creator/PatrickSeitz and Creator/KarenStrassman voice [[Anime/ErgoProxy a married couple.]]
*** Much like Raul, Neuhaus has beef with the protagonist for his family’s murder. ''Unlike'' Raul, Neuhaus is able to let go of his grudge in time.
