History Anime / CaroleAndTuesday

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: While the size of [[https://www.zupimages.net/up/19/26/oub4.png Mars' moons Deimos and Phobos]] is realistic enough, [[https://www.zupimages.net/up/19/31/hcrv.png the Earth]] on the other hand looks way bigger than it actually would in the Martian sky. People standing on Mars would see the Earth as a bright star much like Venus appears from Earth, not as a small moon. Depicting it this way helps to enhance the dreamy mood of the scene, however.

* TerribleIntervieweesMontage: The regional qualifiers for the Mars' Brightest competition have a bunch of enthusiastic and straight-up bad singers.

* NotSoDifferent: In spite of how Carole and Tuesday seem to be total opposites in looks, fashion style and upbringing, they become best pals almost instantly based on their shared love for music and surprisingly compatible personalities.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: At a concert, standing in for a musician who for whatever last-minute reason is unavailable to play will ''not'' be received well by the audience, who paid to see them. Carole and Tuesday learn this the hard way when they try to stand in for Joshua, as they get ruthlessly booed off the stage by angry audience members.

* SingingVoiceDissonance: In episode 6, the deep, booming voice of Hiroki Yasumoto is replaced by the high-pitched, honey timber of bassist [[Music/{{Thundercat}}Thundercat]] when Skip's song starts.

* ShesGotLegs: Carole, while being more of [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl the tomboy compared to Tuesday]], often shows off her long legs by wearing hot pants, usually combined with ZettaiRyouiki.

* ZettaiRyouiki: Carole tends to wear Grade A, which she combines with [[WhoWearsShortShorts hot pants]].

* InkSuitActor: Cybil bears a [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/c4/f7/9c/c4f79c2d27a6f24a8566a8b5a68f8c9c.jpg pretty uncanny resemblance]] to [[https://static.wixstatic.com/media/37becf_3aad2d902b574cf89ecd8692821e4d84~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_560,h_728,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01/RMB_BIO_PHOTO%20big.webp Maika Loubté]], who provided her singing voice.

* SharedUniverse: ''Carole and Tuesday'' possibly takes place in the same universe as ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' and ''Anime/SpaceDandy'' as the currency is also woolongs. The former moreso, due to ''Carole and Tuesday'''s setting of a colonized Mars in the future, in [[Anime/CowboyBebopKnockinOnHeavensDoor Alba City]] no less.

* BiTheWay: Marie was married to Gus, but now she's getting remarried to a woman. The way Marie describes the situation to Gus, saying that she "didn't understand herself" and feels like she's "finally found her true self", it's also possible Marie was always gay and her now-fiancée was her ClosetKey.

* ActorAllusion: [[Creator/AkioOhtsuka Gus]] claims that Desmond hates having his shadow stepped on and would die if exposed to sunlight, much like [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Wamuu]].

* ShoutOut:
** The series contains ''numerous'' musical references. [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming Each episode is named after a song from the 60s, 70s, or 80s]], and the eyecatches even contain an image of the vinyl record of said song.
** Ziggy, being modeled after a northern white-faced owl, looks and acts much like Shuko, the {{team pet}} from ''Anime/SoundOfTheSky''. His name could be a reference to either [[Music/DavidBowie Ziggy Stardust]] or Ziggy Marley. Or both.
** Gus' running animation is identical to [[Anime/CowboyBebop Spike's]].
** The Mars’ Brightest logo is obviously based on ''The X Factor''.
** In Episode 4, IDEA is shown watching an episode of ''Anime/SpaceDandy'' for "research purposes".
** The neon-shaft umbrellas are taken from Film/BladeRunner, which is appropriate since the director also worked on a short for its sequel.
** Carole and Tuesday get interviewed by a talk show host named Allen, whose logo is remarkably similar to that of Creator/EllenDeGeneres.
** Desmond is named after legendary pop songwriter Desmond Child.
** [[https://imgur.com/a/5vubcp6 Gus sticking his head through the door crack when he found Carole and Tuesday's apartment]] looks very similar to the famous "HERE'S JOHNNY!!!" scene from Film/TheShining.

* Terraform: The planet Mars was terraformed into having a breathable athmosphere and a really cozy climate somewhere in the past (likely not too long ago, but far enough in the past so that an actual Martian sense of national identity emerged including the nasty side of it, namely nativist sentiment and enmity against (Earth) refugees) and is maintained by weather control (e.g. when a weather control facility was blown up in episode 18, the temperature in Alba City started to drop).

* BlandNameProduct: [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Creamy Cream]], a coffee and donut shop similar to the real life Krispy Kreme.
