3	Since there are so many {{Shout Out}}s throughout the series, they will be listed by episode. Many of the references are also repeated in later episodes.
4	!!Episode 1
5	* One of the models of anime girls on the shelf in the opening scenes is clearly based on Asuka from ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''
6	* One of the girls on what appears to be pillowcases is [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Takamachi Nanoha]].
7	* Shin'ichi's first response to waking up in a strange bed in the Eldant Empire is to quote ''Literature/ReZero'''s Subaru Natsuki, stating, "I don't know this ceiling."
8	* Shin'ichi asking if he became a mutant with superpowers is a ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' reference, complete with the "NEET" logo being in a similar style as the "TMNT" one for the 2007 film.
9	* After looking at the city of Marinos for the first time, he says it looks like San d'Oria from Vana, a reference to the same named city in the world of Vanadiel in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXI''.
10	%%His next premise is clearly a reference to a SpaceShipGirl example, but which one? Or is it just a reference to the trope?%%
11	* The carriage appears to be pulled by a [[Franchise/FinalFantasy Chocobo]].
12	!!Episode 2
13	* Shinichi's room consists of posters, figurines, cut outs and other memorabilia of different anime ([[LawyerFriendlyCameo with different hair color and clothes]]). Such as ''Literature/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'', ''Literature/TheDevilIsAPartTimer'', ''Manga/ACertainScientificRailgun'', ''Anime/StrikeWitches'', ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', and much much more.
14	* The first manga Miusel reads is "Nan-chiya", which is sort of an alternate reading of ''Manga/MinamiKe''. It is in fact ''Minami-ke'' volume 3, except with an {{Expy}} of Kana instead of Haruka striking the pose on the front cover.
15	* Sakaki's other works also make prominent appearances, such as ''Literature/ScrappedPrincess'' and ''Manga/StraitJacket''.
16	* Elbia's favourite anime and character is a shout-out to ''Literature/ListenToMeGirlsIAmYourFather'' and ''[[ActorAllusion Sora Takanashi]]''. They are both done by the same studio.
17	* In the eyecatch, Minori's favorite anime is "[[VideoGame/InazumaEleven Inamazu Twelve]]" and her favorite character is "airplane", likely a reference to the Creator/Level5 character popularity poll. [[http://hayabusa.2ch.net/test/read.cgi/news4vip/1369816920/ Pranksters from 2ch]] (the Japanese equivalent of 4chan) [[VoteEarlyVoteOften stuffed the ballot box]] with votes for the airplane from ''VideoGame/AeroPorter'' (and to a lesser extent the porter from ''Aero Porter'' and minor characters from ''Inazuma Eleven GO''), ultimately handing the victory to the airplane.
18	* The manga Shin'ichi reads to Petrarca and Miusel is titled "[[Manga/{{Kaiji}} Gaishi]]". [[note]]Take "Kaiji" (カイジ), move the " up two characters (ガイシ), and convert to hiragana and you get "Gaishi" (がいし).[[/note]] He's reading them the famous "NO COUNT" scene.
19	* Later, when Shinichi reads to Petrarca alone, he's reading what is an expy of ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'', specifically the scene where Eren's mom is eaten.
20	* Near the end, Shinichi finds Miusel in the kitchen at night, crying, she is reading the version of that world of Bastard!, the scene where Dark Schneider meets Arshes Nei, still a kid at that time.
21	!!Episode 3
22	* Shinichi is once again reading the ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' expy as part of his way of teaching noble children. The part he reads from is the section where Eren (or the expy of him) declares that he's going to kill all the Titans.
23	* Shinichi tells an invader that his magic power level is [[Anime/DragonBallZ 530,000]].
24	!!Episode 4
25	!!Episode 5
26	* [[VisualNovel/DaCapoII San Jabo II]]? Check.
27	!!Episode 6
28	Obviously, this episode's packed chock full of references to sports anime and manga.
29	* "The Prince of Soccer Final" is clearly a nod to ''Manga/ThePrinceOfTennis''.
30	%%Is the golden ball a reference to another anime?%%
31	* "The series that was popular outside of its child demographic" is ''VideoGame/InazumaEleven'', which was originally aimed at the ShonenDemographic but gained so many older [[YaoiFangirl fujoshi]] fans that it went viral online, and the creators noticed and adjusted the series to [[MultipleDemographicAppeal appeal to a broader audience]]. Minori is presumably one of the aforementioned fujoshi.
32	** The uniforms resemble the Raimon uniforms from ''Inazuma Eleven'', and the two rightmost characters in the picture are clearly CaptainErsatz versions of Kabeyama and Kidou.%%Are any of the other character designs a reference to some other sports anime? I couldn't find any example of a sports anime with an ostrich.%%
33	* The manga the students read appears to be ''Manga/CaptainTsubasa'', art style and all. The player's uniform says "Kitakatsu", a reference to Tsubasa's Nankatsu. (Nan = South; Kita = North.)
34	* Wyvern Tornado is another ''Inazuma Eleven'' nod, a mash-up of Wyvern Crash and Fire Tornado.
35	* Techniques getting on-screen logos of their names in ''Inazuma Eleven'' style.
36	* The start of the soccer match is also one to [[Film/ShaolinSoccer Shaolin Soccer]], where Romilda shoots 2 shots from the midfield straight into the goal.
37	* When the ball is passed to Bele, Shinichi notes that he is not even paying attention to it. Bele is able to pass the ball without the elves he is guarding even noticing he had it. Shinichi shouting [[Manga/KurokosBasketball Misdirection?!]] shows clearly where he learned this play style from.
38	* The first half of the soccer match is reminiscent of the first Teikoku vs. Raimon match in ''Inazuma Eleven'':
39	** Friendly match that's anything but friendly? Check.
40	** One team completely dominating the other until they're barely able to stand? Check.
41	** A score of double-digits to zip at halftime? Check.
42	** The game starts to turn around in the second half, when the losing team's goalkeeper summons a gigantic golden hand to catch the ball for him, then passes to a teammate who scores their first goal? Check, check, and check.
43	::It diverges and the match quickly goes completely OffTheRails after that, though.
44	** At 18:28 the group of red giants with growing lances, a beam of light flashing across the screen followed by a expanding explosion. That's a direct reference to the intro to ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind''.
45	%%Does the hole in the perimeter wall where a rock smashed through it and the giants walking by count as a Shingeki no Kyojin reference? The giants with lances walking by is a reference to Nausicaa%%
46	!! Episode 7
47	* Shinichi pointing out Matoba's mistakes at the start of the episode include:
48	** A R-18 rip off version of ''[[Literature/RentalMagica Rental]] [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]]'' instead of the original one.
49	** A [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Freedom Gungal]] model instead of a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Mobile Angel Bandam]] model.
50	** ''[[Manga/MinamiKe Manami-ke Okaeri]]'' instead of the original first season of it, which Shinichi says is inferior because of the director. Okaeri was done by the same director as Outbreak Company, and is widely accepted and better received for returning to the first season's roots, making this a case of SelfDeprecation.
51	* Miusel's outfit when she disguised herself to Akihabara includes a pink beanie cap and pink ermine cape. The fact that the episode has quite a lot of scene focusing her with [[Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes Sherlock]] is an actor allusion as both Miusel and Sherlock shared the same voice actor, Suzuko Mimori.
52	* The trains are run by "UR", a BlandNameProduct version of JR. The logo is the JR logo with the left side of the J extended upwards to create a U. Even the ticket machines, train designs, station signs, and the train's route are accurate to those of JR East Chuo-Sobu Line and Akihabara Station.
53	* When Shinichi and Miusel get off the train at Akibahara, we hear someone advertising the Sentai cafe [[Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger Secret Base.]]
54	* The shots of Akihabara contain a number of well-known stores, primarily ones near the train station:
55	** "HABI" is the [[https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=35.698161,139.772349&spn=0.000467,0.000658&sll=35.698314,139.771854&sspn=0.000941,0.001321&t=h&radius=0.04&layer=c&cbll=35.69816,139.77235&panoid=IUOIMgQE1VI9n_Zqol5aDw&cbp=12,216.23,,0,-34.9&z=21 LABI computer store]] just outside the train station.
56	** The "Lespace" in the same shot is the Espace Pachinko parlor.[[note]]In real life, it's actually two buildings over from HABI, but the building between them, the iconic Radio Kaikan shopping center, is under construction.[[/note]]
57	** The "Polks" hobby shop is [[http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Volks_Akihabara_Hobby_Tengoku_-01.jpg Volks]].
58	** "Animeito" is [[https://maps.google.com/maps?q=%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%88&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=35.700627,139.771414&spn=0.021294,0.042272&sll=35.69913,139.771757&sspn=0.000461,0.00019&oq=%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1&t=h&hq=%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%88&z=15&layer=c&cbll=35.700534,139.771405&panoid=VGtZQ4v6Cz1MKd1CT-VSZg&cbp=12,99.78,,0,-10.51 Animate]], right down to the blue shelves.
59	** "Mt. Fuji Soba" is Fuji Soba.
60	* The voice actor handing of preordered [=CD=]s might be Creator/NanaMizuki.
61	* When Shinichi and Miusel are watching the big screen at the Tokyo Anime Center, there is (from right to left) a green Manga/{{Doraemon}} with his eyes obscured by sunglasses, [[Anime/AstroBoy Atom]] with an extra spike in his hair and his face obscured by the top of a chair, and a recolor of [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei Ayanami]] with most of her plugsuit obscured by the top of another chair.
62	* After that, the next shot is [[https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=35.69814,139.773259&spn=0.001882,0.002642&sll=35.698068,139.772511&sspn=0.00183,0.001784&t=h&radius=0.06&z=19&layer=c&cbll=35.698171,139.771808&panoid=R0gELPzIZ5LMAF_qx79nfA&cbp=12,271.18,,0,-8.93 this area]], about half a block from LABI (see above).
63	* When Shinichi returned home from the convenience store, his expressions and lines are taken from when [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Eren]] reunites with the Colossal Titan after 5 years.
64	** When he kneels next to his bed and brings his hand to Miusel's, it's a shot-for-shot remake of the ring scene in ''Anime/CastleOfCagliostro''.
65	* Naturally, Shinichi's room in Japan contains some references:
66	** A poster above his bed has a girl in a frilly dress standing next to a boy, both surrounded by falling flower petals, a reference to similar promo images for ''Anime/AnoHanaTheFlowerWeSawThatDay''.
67	** A magazine on a shelf (at about 19:30) has a character resembling [[Manga/ToLoveRu Lala]] in her panda-like alien outfit.
68	!!Episode 8
69	* The episode is titled [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya The Melancholy of the Supreme Ruler]].
70	* When entering the warehouse, Shinichi pretends to be [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Snake]], and talks into his phone pretending it's a Codec. And then he finds Petrarca in a box (but, sadly, he doesn't react with a "Fwing!" noise).
71	* The game Petrarca plays in her room appears to be the original NES ''VideoGame/DragonQuest''.
72	* Shinichi, in order to distract some guards, throws a [[Anime/DokiDokiPrecure Cure Kosette]] hentai doujinshi at them. They [[VideoGame/MetalGear pause]] and [[AllMenArePerverts almost immediately lunge for it.]]
73	* When Shinichi wakes up, the screen says "[[VideoGame/ZeroWing All your base are belong to us.]]"
74	!!Episode 9
75	* Minori's manga is titled "[[Anime/{{Free}} Freedom!]]"
76	* In the preview for Episode 10, Minori demands that she will have "Absolute Obedience." This is the title of a pornographic BL game. Official subtitles for this dialogue include capitalization of the title, leaving no room for doubt.
77	!!Episode 10
78	* In the beginning of the episode you can hear Myucel humming Nausicaä's Requiem from Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
79	* The web site is clearly Website/NicoNicoDouga, and the first two tags on the video are "[[VideoGame/InazumaEleven Inamazu Twelve]]" and "[[Film/ShaolinSoccer Xiaolin Soccer]]".
80	* "Dragons have sensitive noses" is likely a reference to "[[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Dodongo dislikes smoke.]]"
81	* The dragon's breath explodes in the same exact manor as explosions caused by [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Angels]], as a giant [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic Cross]].
82	* In the eyecatches, Luna's favorite anime is listed as "[[VisualNovel/{{Hakuouki}} Hakuougi]]".
83	* Several examples of ActorAllusion, in addition to those shown in earlier episodes:
84	** During the indie movie screening, Shinichi is shown running around with a pair of scissors saying he [[Manga/TheSeveringCrimeEdge needs to cut]]. Also doubles as an ActorAllusion to Shinichi's [[Creator/NatsukiHanae voice actor]].
85	** The same movie has MagicalGirl Petrarca [[Anime/DokiDokiPrettyCure introducing herself in front of a limo and forming a heart and later a rosette with her hands]]. Also doubles as an ActorAllusion as Creator/MaiFuchigami voices both Petralka and Alice.
86	** There's one shot of [[Creator/SuzukoMimori Miusel]] trying to [[Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes tame a wild bear]].
87	** [[Creator/SumireUesaka Elbia]] is playing Sora's character in the bits parodying ''Literature/ListenToMeGirlsIAmYourFather''.
88	!!Episode 11
89	* Elbia singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is another call back to ''Literature/ListenToMeGirlsIAmYourFather''.
90	!!Episode 12
91	* The title of the episode, "Shoot the Invader!" (singular), is a direct reference to ''Series/Ultraman'', whose second episode is titled "Shoot the Invaders!" (plural)
92	* The way one of the [[NinjaMaid guard maids]] stops bullets with their magic shield looks almost exactly like the way [[Film/TheMatrix Neo]] stopped bullets.
93	* Shinichi is wearing a shirt at one point that says AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs.
