History ShoutOut / EurekaSeven

** The first ED "Himitsu Kichi" references the music video for Music/{{Aha}}'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-WPexVEujg Crying in the Rain]]".

* The [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball Soccer]] game in episode 39 is a big shout-out to ''Anime/CaptainTsubasa''.

* Director Tomoki Kyoda [[WordOfGod answered in]] [[https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/7zt3tv/my_name_is_tomoki_kyoda_the_director_of_eureka/duqmhn4/ a Reddit AMA]]: "The whole series is ultimately an homage to my rebellious phase, and it exists to show respect to everything that helped me develop into the person I am. When I was a student, things like techno and anime weren't mainstream, so this is my way of giving back to what gave me so much."

*** Talho's joking line "You were thinking about doing lewd things to her while she was asleep, right?" to Renton about a comatose Eureka is a reference to the infamous hospital scene in ''End of Evangelion''.

** The abandoned excavation site FAC-51 refers to The Haçienda nightclub in Manchester that was co-owned by the band Music/NewOrder and is associated with rise of acid house and rave music. "[=FAC51=]" was its official designation by Creator/FactoryRecords, the other co-owners of the club.
** Similar to above, Tresor Laboratories is named after the Tresor nightclub in Berlin, and even has the club's logo on the lab hardhats and mechanic caps.
*** The club also founded its own record label Tresor Records. American DJ Jeff Mills was signed with the label, and his song "Changes of Life" was used as the title of episode 30 when Tresor Laboratories is visited for the first time.

** The "Acperience" episodes, which involve Renton and Eureka entering [[AcidTripDimension the Zone]] in the first three and the [[spoiler:Scub Coral Command Cluster]] in "Acperience 4", are fittingly named after the series of acid trance tracks by the German duo Hardfloor; Acperience being a portmanteau of "acid experience".
*** Hardfloor later produced the insert song "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARXhxgwcn6A Acperience 7]]" for the ''Hi-Evolution 1'' film.

*** Dr. Bear and Norb's interview might be a reference to Adam Yauch's interview with the Dalai Lama in 1995.

** Episode 33 is dedicated to this by foregoing the opening credits in favor of Stoner narrating how lifting is similar to surfing on Earth 10,000 years ago.

* Director Tomoki Kyoda made a WordOfGod [[https://www.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/7zt3tv/my_name_is_tomoki_kyoda_the_director_of_eureka/duqmhn4/ statement in a Reddit AMA]]: "The whole series is ultimately an homage to my rebellious phase, and it exists to show respect to everything that helped me develop into the person I am.

* The color motif and name of the Beams' Swan airship is based on the Hakucho, a JR East limited express train service that used 485-3000 series trains painted purple and white. Its code name, SL-1200 MKI, comes from the Technics SL-1200 turntables.
