** Chihiro is the kind of person who plays ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' on her UsefulNotes/PlayStation4.

** A police truck in the second episode appears to be carrying a Anime/{{Patlabor}} under a tarp.

** Episode 6 is an exercise in self-censorship. The episode as a whole is a homage to ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'', specifically the first game, and even when talking about one of its enemies, Flea Man, they talk about how it was supposed to be ''Franchise/{{The Hunchback Of Notre Dame}}'', and even ''that'' is censored. It reaches a whole level when, apropos of nothing, the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' logo shows up in the curtain and that is half-censored by a "Self-Censorship" label.

** Episode 7 is, in-universe, explicitly a homage to Creator/FrancoisTruffaut's Film/DayForNight. Kaoru cosplays as the [[Franchise/AliceInWonderland Chesire Cat]], specifically the Disney version. Also, a LogoJoke/MetroGoldwynMayer logo parody with a basset hound.

* DiabolusExMachina: According to the anime's OP commentary, the visuals are supposed to represent what happens to the cast after the events of the series. Granted, that's not a ''good'' thing, as it involves [[spoiler:Mai having to leave Mitsugu one day, all of Mitsugu's friends sacrificing themselves to summon Mai again, and Mai ultimately draining Mitsugu and forgetting about her.]]

** The Halloween party in Episode 3 features cosplayers dressed as [[Anime/{{Yatterman}} Doronjo]], Film/{{RoboCop}}, [[VideoGame/SuperMarioBros Mario]], [[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] and [[Film/TheForceAwakens Kylo Ren]]. Kaoru is able to convince Mai to dress as Morrigan from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}''.

* {{Slapstick}}: Mitsugu gets smacked around a lot, as do the other girls in the Blood Donation Club.

* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: Mitsugu gets smacked around a lot, as do the other girls in the Blood Donation Club.

* HospitalHottie: Chihiro is the school nurse and wears a red dress with a [[AbsoluteCleavage plunging neckline]] that should definitely violate some sort of dress code. Mitsugu actually tries using the promise of the "hot school nurse" being the club advisor as a way to get people to join her club at the end of Episode 1.

** Episode 7 is, in-universe, explicitly a homage to Creator/FrancoisTruffaut's Film/DayForNight. Kaoru cosplays as the [[Franchise/AliceInWonderland Chesire Cat]], specifically the Disney version. Also, a LogoJoke/MetroGoldwynMayer logo parody with a beagle.

* VoluntaryVampireVictim: Mitsugu desperately ''wants'' to be this for Mai, but the vampire refuses to drink directly from her as doing so would turn Mitsugu into her thrall. She can drink her blood if it's been drawn out by other means.

It reaches a whole level when, apropos of nothing, the ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' logo shows up in the curtain and that is half-censored by a "Self-Censorship" label.

* ShiftingVoiceOfMadness: Nami tends to change her voice tone on a whim, sometimes in the very same sentence. Fitting, she's one the most unstable hot-blooded characters of the lot.

* ShiftingVoiceOfMadness: Nami of the Dance Club tends to change her voice tone on a whim, sometimes in the very same sentence. Fitting, she's one the most unstable hot-blooded characters of the lot.

* VerbalTic: Cosplay Club Kaoru always finishes her sentences with ''-nyan''.

** In the same episode, one of the military officials speculates that the flying monster could be Film/{{Rodan}} or [[Film/GhidorahTheThreeHeadedMonster King Ghidorah]], with both names partially bleeped out. His partner dismisses the idea and then asks if they could be sued for copyright infringement.

* CastingGag: CreatorJojiNakata, who's best known for playing the vampire Alucard in ''Anime/{{Hellsing}}'' plays [[spoiler: Mitsugu's dad, who happens to be a vampire hunter]].

** The confrontation between Mitsugu and Mai's dads and Dr. Chihiro in Episode 5 is full of references to ''Manga/Hellsing''. And to drive the point home, [[spoiler: Mitsugu's dad is voiced by Creator/JojiNakata]].
