  • Awesome Music: The ending theme, "Inkya Impulse", is a vicious Death Metal anthem that perfectly captures the offbeat and chaotic nature of the series. Even more impressive, the vocals are actually done by the three leads, including Hanako's absolutely brutal Metal Scream.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Fujiwara, owing to both her unusual character design and fluent English.
  • Fan Nickname: "Anime's Three Stooges".
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Despite expressing disgust at Maeda's "Goblin x Dwarf" Slash Fic suggestion, Kasumi actually went and bought a BL game about exactly that in chapter 55 of the manga.
  • Nightmare Fuel: Some of the more extreme expressions cross into this, when they're not being just funny:
    • Hanako's expression while staring at Kasumi's boobs looks like something straight out of a Junji Ito story.
    • The Vice President's speech during the school election is this both in-universe and out, where she is essentially Sadako Yamamura before becoming the makeup-clad girl she is in the present.
  • Seasonal Rot: The direction the series went in towards the end of its run was not particularly liked by the fanbase. While the main trio did still get focus, it was slowly decreasing in favor of the antics of the student council and a more serious tone. One chapter in particular, where Kasumi is enraged when the student council comes by and wonders why everyone is paying attention to them, is seen as a chapter mocking these readers.
