* NominalCoauthor: Yasushi Akimoto is credited as one of the two creators, but his contributions are high-level concepts - specifically, the basic concept of main character as a "fighting nurse" called Nurse Angel who protects the Earth from a group of villains called Dark Joker. Koi Ikeno did the actual work of taking Akimoto's ideas and making them into a manga.

* {{Defictionalization}}: Toy shilling is unavoidable in the typical magical girl show, and Ririka SOS is no exception. The Nurse Cap and Angel Baton are obvious examples, but there are more peripheral gadgets as well, presented in awkward [[ProductPromotionParade parades of product placement]].

* AcclaimedFlop: People were watching ''Ririka SOS''. Ratings weren't shabby; they were pretty good, actually! But the show was meant to be MerchandiseDriven and evidently the viewers weren't buying. It probably didn't help that some of that merch was bizarre. Nurse Angel sausages, anyone?



* ScrewedByTheMerchandise: The anime was doing well, however it was cut short because people weren't buying the merchandise as expected.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: In 1995, a flip-phone in the possession of a 10-year-old girl like Miyuki was a sign that she was wealthy and had every advantage. Now the joke is that she has a ''flip-phone''...outside of Japan. In Japan, current viewers of the show would simply miss the significance of a girl her age having a flip-phone [[http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/19/japan-flip-phones-gara-kei/ because they're still in common use]]. Japan hasn't taken to smartphones as much as other countries, to the point where you can get [[http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/20/sharp-aquos-android-clamshell-tricks-friends-into-thinking-you-c/ a smart-phone that looks JUST like a flip-phone]].
