Bakuon!!/Trivia


 * Bowdlerise: The removal/rewriting in the North American DVD release of original Japanese dialogue in which Baita (the talking Honda Su-Four on which Hana learns to drive a motorcycle) describes herself as "transsexual" because the engine components that would have provided sufficient power to make her a proper road vehicle have been removed from her engine, effectively "castrating" her.  Oddly, though, her various Double Entendres have been retained.
 * Expy: It's surprisingly easy to draw parallels between the core cast of Bakuon!! and that of K-On! -- see the list of parallels on the YMMV page.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Kikuko Inoue in her gruff tomboy mode as Baita, the talking transsexual Honda that Hane learns on.
 * Shout-Out:
 * "Is this Heaven?" "Of course not. We're in Aomori."
 * To Journey to the West in Episode 5, as the girls briefly envision themelves as the characters of that novel.
 * In episode 6 there is a brief appearance of the same medieval woodcut of the sephiroth that's used in Neon Genesis Evangelion, in the same manner (a transparent moving image overlaid on a full-color background).
