* HarsherInHindsight: Fans occasionally joked that Agiri was TheStoner. Then in 2015, her voice actress, Ai Takabe, [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-11-04/kill-me-baby-sweet-blue-flowers-voice-actress-ai-takabe-charged-again-for-drug-use/.94991 was arrested for cocaine possession]]. After the incident, cocaine jokes have become much more frequent, but Takabe has since retired from most voice acting roles ''including'' Agiri because of it.

Makes one wonder if despite the manga's joking nature, deep down she's more messed-up than she lets on...

* SoBadItsGood:
** The anime's opening is an atonal mess, but for many viewers the chaotic, high-energy nature of the song perfectly captures the absurd nature of the anime.
** The anime itself has NoBudget and the art style is simple, even crude at times, but this perfectly accentuates the bizarre humour this show is known for.

* SpiritualAdaptation: Being a series about a stoic girl with blonde air in twin tails and black ribbons who works as an enforcer and has cheerful, brown-haired, more mundane female friend who sees the darkness of her work and thus attempts to bring the best out of her, ''Kill Me Baby'' might perfectly be a licensed parody of ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''.

** Agiri as TheStoner. It has only become stronger following Ai Takabe's arrest.

The sheer premise of "stoic girl with blonde hair in twin tails and black ribbons who works as an enforcer has a cheerful, brown-haired, more mundane female friend who saw the darkness of her work and thus attempts to bring the best out of her" should ring all the bells.

** The ED's dance segment has become this to the point of AscendedMeme levels. RealLife attempts have been made, merch has been sold and people still parody it to this day.
** The first manga volume's cover counts too. Both Sonya and Yasuna are edited into other characters who are friends, enemies, siblings, etc.

** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwkClIFBMEE opening]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAx2J5OGRdw ending themes]]. The first comes with one of the most zany opening scenes ever made, also completely unrelated to anything and everything in the anime.
