** Due to the premise of the show amounting to: "A war machine piloted by a boy and a cute girl, but with other girls also competing", the show has often called "[[Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx Harem in the Franxx]]."
** Or early on, "Darling in the Videogame/AceCombat."

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical: A major plot point in the late episodes of the series is that the US Military is obsessed with control, to the point that [[spoiler:they're willing to sacrifice Japan's Anima in a joint operation so that they won't be at a military disadvantage against them and Russia. Further, it's revealed that Americans have a hard time accepting Zai and Anima as anything other than data and algorithms, and this is stated to be the reason why America only succeeds at making one Anima...and even that one success ends up BrainwashedAndCrazy because she was programmed to have no personality other than what they told her to.]] It's not hard to see this as a political commentary on American culture and military doctrine as a whole.

** It's also one to the aforementioned Ace Combat, especially as the Anima cockpit uncannily resembles the [[Videogame/AceCombat3Electrosphere COFFIN]] and the drone warfare aspect brings to mind ''Videogame/AceCombat7SkiesUnknown'', although the villain in Girly Air Force is an EldritchAbomination.

** On a different note, some Japanese 2ch users accused the series of pandering to Chinese audiences, what with the main character being a ''very'' unusual example of a Japanese person who considers China to be his real home due to being born and raised there, and the fact that the Zai attack begins in China, almost as an acknowledgement that China is such a powerful nation that any AlienInvasion would target it first as opposed to the USA.

* SpiritualAdaptation: This is probably the closest we could get to an anime version of ''VideoGame/DonPachi''. Kei is basically the role of the pilot, and the Anima have a similar role to the Element Dolls.

It's too early. Please wait two weeks after the final episode. Then you can propose a candidate at the cleanup thread.

Narm is a moment that is meant to be taken seriously instead comes off as hilarious, not moment that either falls flat or just doesn't have the intended effect.

* {{Narm}}: The fact that the Anima's callsign is BARBIE and the anime make sure you remember that by having the soundbyte played every opening and ending.
