* RealitySubtext: The story is about a creative and clever boy who can create entire worlds but who, due to his lack of genuine experience in the world, is limited to aping a narrow range of stories, plots, and genres he's seen elsewhere. In the last episode, he's reduced to flailing about in a white sterile void, struggling desperately to produce anything that can hold Arumi's interest. It's hard not to read this as a TakeThatMe about the anime industry itself and about Gainax in particular.

* ActorAllusion: Takeshi Aono, who voiced Grandpa Masa, also did Creator/MichaelPalin's roles in the Japanese dub of ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus''. Something to keep in mind in Episode 12, when Grandpa goes "lumberjack"!
** Creator/YuiHorie plays Emiryun in the dating-sim episode, and that character takes on traits of other Horie roles such as [[Visualnovel/{{Kanon}} Ayu Tsukimiya]] and [[ToHeart Multi.]]

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The most contentious aspect of the series, which seemed to be leading up to Sashi having to learn to grow up and accept reality, and accept that [[IRejectYourReality running away from your problems and pretending]] doesn't solve anything. [[IgnoredAesop Except in Sashi's world]], [[DeusExMachina it does.]]
