** It's very easy to assume that Macchi's dullahan aspect is a metaphor for physical disability and the way it's treated by society and by those themselves who have them. In particular, the attention given to the special accommodations she requires in order to eat, bathe, etc. (complete with what amounts to a prosthesis rig), the little details of how she goes through her day (adjusting her body in an unusual way to pick up the phone, getting around the house without her head by relying on touch and memorization like a blind person would), the way her parents talk about the challenges of raising her and dealing with them alongside her, and how she's concerned about people being afraid of asking her about it all sound like dead ringers for problems faced by a teenager who has lost/is missing an arm.

* AccidentalAesop: ''Most'' viewers see the demi-humans can be a metaphor for people who are different, so this series--especially in the West, due to the unfortunate time it debuts--can be seen as AnAesop on diversity and labels. While most see that as a valid interpretation, opinion is divided on whether this is Petos' intent, as they are previously known for being drawing CuteMonsterGirl {{doujinshi}}, which implies they may be writing it out of AuthorAppeal.

* MemeticBadass: After Takahashi was revealed to be rocking the HeroicBuild, there have been a number of jokes about how he got that ripped (such as wrestling Godzilla, for example).
** Due to his ability to resist Sakie Satou, there have also been many comments across video clips about how Takahashi’s Will is so great, he qualifies for the [[Franchise/GreenLantern Green Lantern Corps]].

** Another anime that aired that season was ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'', and this made several viewers notice the (completely coincidental) similarities between Sakie Satou and Ursula Callistis. Both are twenty-something bespectacled [[SenseiChan youthful]] teachers with a shy, nervous disposition who live alone and isolated by everybody else, since they both need to hide their immense power. Sakie does it to avoid people being affected by her sexual charms, and Ursula needs to keep [[spoiler:her true identity, the super powerful witch Chariot Du Nord,]] a secret. In a few episodes Ursula even wears a red tracksuit similar to the one Sakie is always wearing.

* LesYay: So, as in the universe of manga, vampire kiss is regarded as quite intimate or erotic acts, Hikari attracted to Yuki can be considered to this trope. This is actually CANON...as it's pointed out that thinking in a SchoolgirlLesbians way can help Hikari compensate for not having a 'real' romance.

* {{Adorkable}}: Takahashi has a scientific mind through and through, so him bringing up embarrassing subjects to the Demis without thinking and out of sheer curiosity overrides the due appropriateness of the subject at hand. One of the reasons the girls approach him is because the guy is a ''massive dork'' with whom they can talk about their Demi-specific problems that they couldn't bring out to other people because the Demis are too particular for just anyone to relate to them.

** Kurtz, the German boy who is unaffected by the succubi's erotic powers, is voiced by Creator/SoraAmamiya. She previously voiced a horny lamia in ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl'', so more or less the kind of stuff Kurtz would be used against.

While the Vice Principal later goes back on this and even apologizes to Takahashi, there were viewers who believed that [[JerkassHasAPoint the Vice Principal's initial criticism as absolutely right]]. This being said, much of the other cast think through over what the Vice Principal said critically.

Null editing to fix a ghost wick


* CounterpartComparison: With ''Manga/DailyLifeWithMonsterGirl''. Both anime and manga centered around an adult male who communicates daily with {{Cute Monster Girl}}s, gradually exploring various facts about their unusual physiology. The main difference between them is this is a SliceOfLife comedy, while the latter is a {{ecchi}} {{harem|genre}}.
** Another main difference is how romance is handled; ''Daily Life'', being a harem series, has multiple romantic subplots about Kimihito and how he interacts with the girls. ''Interviews'' has very little to no romance, Machi's PrecociousCrush and Satou's infatuation notwithstanding.
** The male leads, Kimihito and Tetsuo, do have some similar traits. They're both no-nonsense, hard-working, dependable young men with strange eyes (BlankWhiteEyes for the former and beady square-ish eyes for the latter) who deeply care for the girls beyond their "monster" parts. They are also both quite strong, while not outright ripped.

** Yuki. Very shy and emotional, and for a while has trouble accepting being a snowgirl.
** Sakie Satou. She considers being part-succubus far more a curse than a blessing, lives in a small house far out in the countryside all by herself to avoid contact with others, and winds up being frequently tired thanks to her work schedules (having to get ready at 4 AM and walk a while to the first stop on a train).

It's a setup to a joke. Narm is for things that are supposed to be earnestly serious, which joke setups aren't.


** In episode 6 Takahashi mentions to Himari that maybe her sister always asks her to help with her hairdo, because in folklore vampires can't see themselves in mirrors. So Himari [[MoodWhiplash suddenly becomes very worried]] about Hikari and start desperately looking for her, to offer her excuses. The scene comes off as forced and filler-ish because not only is it implausible that she never managed to notice her sister not reflecting in mirrors, but this kind of stuff never came up at any other point, and the scene ends as soon as it started with another example of friendly banter between the two sisters, showing that all Himari's worrying was for nothing since Hikari ''does'' have a reflection.
