13* {{Animesque}}: You could easily assume it's an anime at first glance (especially with the animation), but this show technically isn't due to the fact that it's mostly made outside of Japan (South Korea), though a few episodes, as well as the show's compositing and post-production, were done in Japan and the lead animation house, Creator/DRMovie, works regularly on anime titles.
14* BigBad: Cannabis, the Queen of Despair who's behind all of the problems the girls face and wants to [[HopeCrusher fill humanity with despair]].
15* CatsAreMean: Mao the cat influences Trump into evil.
