1* ActorAllusion:
2** [[Creator/AkikoYajima Rin]] usually shows up with her ass facing the camera, in the same vein as ''Anime/CrayonShinChan''.
3** Nozomu was once depicted wearing a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Celestial Being]] space suit, and behind him is what looks like Tieria Erde -- both are voiced by [[Creator/HiroshiKamiya the same guy]].
4** One chalkboard gag also features [[Creator/HiroshiKamiya Nozomu]] drawn in the style of OnTheNext ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}'', and one scene where he brought a flight simulator in class even depicts him in a [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Celestial being]] spacesuit, with a Tieria lookalike behind him. Another instance might be the naming of the series.
5** A quick shot early in the anime shows Nozomu reading ''Manga/HoneyAndClover'', where he voiced one of the protagonists.
6** Sensei's old friend happens to like girls with pony tails. The old friend is voiced by [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya Ky]][[Creator/TomokazuSugita on]], who also likes pony tails.
7** Abiru once chased a giraffe with a scooter. [[Creator/YukoGoto Her voice actress]] is a RealLife motorcycle enthusiast.
8** In Episode 5 of the first season, Kafuka is shown on an "[[Manga/LuckyStar Unlucky Channel]]" set -- [[Creator/AiNonaka Her voice actress ]] also voiced Akira Kogami for the Drama [=CDs=] and DS game of ''Manga/LuckyStar''. And in another, she holds [[http://i.imgur.com/L0Y6I.jpg a starfish]], as an obvious nod to [[VisualNovel/{{Clannad}} Fuuko Ibuki]].
9* ColbertBump: The series gained some new fans because a certain VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo [[VideoGame/KatawaCrash parody game]] used Kuuso Rumba as its main theme.
10* DevelopmentHell: The English release of the anime was announced by Creator/MediaBlasters back around 2008, but they sat on the license too long and nothing came out of it. Finally subverted nearly 11 years later when Creator/NozomiEntertainment announced it would finally be releasing it on DVD and Blu-ray in 2020.
11** Sadly, Nozomi's re-release has also ran into problems, and not just as a result of the effects of the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic. According to Right Stuf founder Shawne Kleckner, an unexpected lack of resources from Japan has resulted in the series--which is very densely-scripted--needing to be translated from ''scratch.'' Despite this unfortunate circumstance, eventually the series finally snagged a release date in 2022, with the first season being released in April of that year.
12* NoExportForYou: The English release of the manga stops at volume 14. The other volumes are out of print, too.
13* ScheduleSlip: It didn't actually happen per se, but various comments within the show itself and Shaft's well publicized [[Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}} problems with meeting]] [[Manga/DanceInTheVampireBund deadlines over the last year or so]] indicate that they came very close to this with ''Zan'', and may explain the lower quality of animation compared to the first two seasons.
14* WhatCouldHaveBeen: An early pitch for the manga was that it was a BlackComedy but otherwise lighthearted romance between two very different people: Nami was going to be a stuck-up [[JapaneseDelinquents delinquent]] who never went to school, while a male Komori was going to be a nerdy, academics {{Hikikomori}} who never left school. However, it ended up as a...black comedy, but otherwise lighthearted manga about the romance of two completely different people...huh.
