History Trivia / ProjectAko

** While this series isn't very known in Brazil, it later had some notability there since some of its anime's background music was used to promote the U.S. Manga Corps-branded programming block for a TV channel there, which ironically didn't air ''Project A-ko''. And the notability is justified: those songs ''[[WithLyrics got lyrics]]!'' Funnily enough, the lyrics have nothing to do with the anime, but [[WidgetSeries are essentially a meta-musical about the content of the anime aired, as well as about the programming block itself]]. There's even [[www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahr7QANmxsU an entire soundtrack album]] dedicated to those songs.

* ColbertBump: Many modern anime fans know this franchise only thanks to ''Anime/KillLaKill''.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: The "Love and Robots" DVD has a character listing giving brief character profiles for A-ko, B-ko and C-ko. On C-ko's, it lists that she hates B-ko and doesn't understand why she wants to get with her so badly. This is completely incorrect, as C-Ko is shown to have a friendly relationship not only with B-ko but her subordinates as well. She even wishes at the end of ''FINAL'' for her, A-ko, B-ko and all of B-ko's gang to all be friends and not fight anymore. If anything, they were referring to Kei, who is the only character C-ko outright hates.
