* CrossCulturalKerfluffle: Like the name "Iwanako" in the visual novel ''VisualNovel/Katawa Shoujo'' (also made by 4chan anons), the title of ''Keit-Ai'' was obviously created by non-Japanese speakers seeing that in Japanese, it's impossible to render using kanji, katakana, or hiragana. You have to force the pun by mixing rōmaji and kanji together to come up with ''Keit愛''.

** Subverted with the [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/7861570 short story]] version of ''Keit-Ai'', which instead features English names (John and Jane), a (presumably) western setting, and a conversation referencing mostly American pop culture (including talk of Creator/{{Disney}}, UsefulNotes/BarackObama, UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump, the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election, and... ironically enough... Creator/JeffGoldblum) without a hint of anything Japanese even though it still retains the [[Music/UtadaHikaru Japanesey]] ''Keit-Ai'' title.

Added DiffLines:

* BilingualBonus: It's a bit of a stretch reminiscent of the [[PunBasedTitle multilingual pun]] of ''Anime/MekakucityActors'' or ''Manga/ToLoveRu'', but the title of ''Keit-Ai'' is supposed to be a portmanteau of the words "Keitai" or "携帯 / ケータイ" (Japanese for "Mobile" as in "Mobile phone") and "Ai" or "愛" (Japanese for "Love"). Thusly, it can [[EitherOrTitle alternately]] be referred to as ''Keit愛'', which mixes rōmaji and kanji together.

* {{Homage}}:
** The copypasta is an homage to your typical Creator/MakotoShinkai movie, right down to being a love story dealing with distance. This is ironic in light of how Shinkai's sixth film, ''Anime/YourName'', has been linked or outright claimed to be the anime movie version of ''Keit-Ai'' as soon as it was announced.
** However, according to the very first [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/001/100/545/247.jpg archived version]] of the copypasta, ''Keit-Ai'' or ''Cel-Love'' was initially inspired by ''Literature/ToraDora'' and its MatchmakerCrush plot.

Added DiffLines:

* GratuitousJapanese: The [[https://www.fictionpress.com/s/3206139 original fiction]] version of ''Keit-Ai'' has a tendency to needlessly add Japanese words, terms, memes, and references to it, often to its detriment (like the way it insists on using "Iincho" instead of the English equivalent of ClassRepresentative).
