- Cant Unhear It: Almost every single background character is voiced by either Greg Ayres or Brittney Karbowski in the English dub, two actors who have very well-known, distinctive voices. After a while, one could make a drinking game out of how many times they show up.
- Fan Nickname: St. Yuuki.
- Harsher in Hindsight: The series as a whole becomes harder to watch with the knowledge of the devastating 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan, which in scale was even worse with 9.0 - 9.1 magnitude. In fact, Animax was rerunning the show around the same time it happened, and predictably, it had to be removed from their lineup.
- It Was His Sled: Yuuki's death.
- Paranoia Fuel: If you live where a major earthquake is expected, this could very well cause some mental discomfort.
- Woolseyism: In the Japanese version, Yuuki and Itsuki call Mirai the phone alien. The English dub tweaks it around to make it sound more alien-like, having them refer to her as the "Cell phonian," which is much more creative and sounds just like something a seven or eight year old kid would come up with. It's the same thing with "Frogworlder" and "Sergeant Snack Time."
