- Hilarious in Hindsight: Let's see: an anime (co-)produced by Studio Shaft that features magical girls and is often compared to with Neon Genesis Evangelion. Sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?
- Les Yay: Between Those Two Girls during the Beach Episode. The Accidental Kiss mentioned on the main page.
- Moe: Hikari & to a lesser extent Akari until the Big Reveal that is..
- Tear Jerker: There are moments where the series comes darn close by any criteria. For example: Takeru's childhood abandonment, the sheer desperation of Akira and Hikari in the final episodes, and the quasi Downer Ending.
- The Woobie: Both Hikari & Akari when they are tortured by the reality of their true mission on Earth (to decide whether or not to destroy the planet).
