  • Archive Panic: There are hundreds of videos, many of them averaging about 20 minutes in length with the channel posting semi-frequently. The Japanese channel has over 1,000 videos (counting all the throwback compilatons). Good luck watching them all.
  • Broken Base: Some fans prefer the earlier stories which are shorter and more in line with other Vyond channels of it's kind while others prefer the more comedic episodes with the cyclical cast.
  • Designated Monkey: The slapstick and verbal abuse Nao inflicts on her brother Kazuya is meant to be funny since he is presented as a dense pretty boy especially when he was going to marry her best friend Hina. However, it's hard not to feel sorry for him because he demonstrated his love for Hina despite Nao's mean-spirited remarks.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Sumomo is liked by many because of her funny antics.
    • Leon Ugumori is liked mostly because of his funny antics and his uncanny ability to tell when people are the antagonist.
  • Woolseyism:
    • Saburo's story has one. In the original Japanese version, Leon says he doesn't hang out with cordless people before Mamoru corrects him to homeless people. The English version just has him say he doesn't hang out with homeless people and Mamoru tells him to stop being rude since the joke wouldn't make sense to a non-Japanese audience.
    • Another example comes from this episode which has Yujiro quote from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, though in the original Japanese version it was a Sazae-san reference which is more obscure.
    • In the original Japanese version of this episode, Leon mistook the word 新郎(Shinrō) for the word 人狼(Jinrō) in a wedding invitation leading him to conclude that it's a werewolf wedding. However the English video just has him mistake the words "La Pine" for lupine which means werewolf.
