* FridgeBrilliance: Diana's speech in ''The Enchanted Parade'' is a reflection of the criticisms lobbed against Studio Trigger: For doing something simply because it entertained you. It wouldn't be hard to see Shiny Chariot as a stand in for a Creator/StudioGainax stand-in, Akio as a stand-in for Trigger and witches in general a stand-in for anime itself. Which makes Akio's utter determination and pure-hearted belief in making the parade a celebration of witches rather heartwarming because it's the same way with Studio Trigger: They make anime simply because they enjoy it and want to spread that joy.

* TheScrappy: ''The Enchanted Parade'' has two groups that can be considered this: Thomas and his gang, who do nothing but torment Akko and her friends even after they stopped the giant (which Thomas awoke by bringing the Shiny Rod over to it) and the mayor who is a typical MayorPain who only cares about his image, bringing in profits and was the one who broke the giant's seal in the first place.

* BrokenAesop: The moral of learning to cooperate with others and combining your strengths in ''The Enchanted Parade'' seems to fall a little flat due to the fact that Akko plans the rest of the Happy Time Project all by herself after [[spoiler: she drives Lotte and Sucy away from the project]]. There's also the fact that she's more or less forgiven for her control freak tendencies during the beginning of the short after the shock of [[spoiler: Akko accidentally ripping Lotte's ancestral sheet music]].
