** Episode 11 of the anime had [[spoiler:Badtz-Maru and Keroppi]] on the episode preview. [[spoiler:Subaru and Naoki would appear in the final episode, as information about their voice actors leaked.]]
** Considering how popular some of Creator/{{Sanrio}}'s other big stars are, people were speculating who would be associated with characters like Pochacco, Tuxedo Sam, Kuromi, and Kirimi-chan. The 2018 ''Miracle☆Stage'' play introduced boys specifically for these mascots, though it sadly disproved the fanon plot of Yuri becoming a Kuromi fan[[note]]to compliment Yuu's My Melody love[[/note]] in the process.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Yuu is far and away the most popular of the Sanrio Boys, due to his backstory, his ability to open up to people, and his caring for his sister despite her irritation with his personality. On one of the official polls, he was first, and despite Kouta being billed as the first character, the first romance character-centric manga arc featured him.

* PeripheryDemographic: Judging from the comments on the subbed videos on Website/YouTube, besides a large amount of the typical {{yaoi fangirl}}s and otome lovers, there are a good amount of men and boys watching where they [[NotSoDifferentRemark sympathize and relate]] with the [[RealMenWearPink male leads]].

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: You shouldn't be looked at funny for the things you like, no matter what they are. And boys should be allowed to like things typically seen as "girly" or immature.

** On a more humorous note, the boys themselves have Sanrio merchandise like their favorite characters. Time will tell if a boy shows up in-universe that fanboys ''them'' too.

* EndingFatigue: By the finale, some audiences were pretty done with the anime, given its more dramatic tone in the latter half of the show.

* CounterpartComparison: With his indigo hair and pink accessories, flirty attitude, occasional harassment of his friends PlayedForLaughs but otherwise acting the TeamMom, and being a {{Foil}} to a serious blond, you might think Yuu and [[Franchise/LoveLive Nozomi]] were separated at birth.

* {{Irony}}: Despite the message of the series being to understand and come to love characters that [[RealMenWearPink wear their Pink on their sleeve]], the PeripheryDemographic of the franchise is ''the exact same people the series is about'', meaning they were an afterthought to a project explicitly about people like them.
