 * Shout-Outs:
 * Right from the start, there is the title, which references the 1985 film Desperately Seeking Susan.
 * In addition to a highly variant version of Sailor Moon, there are shout-outs to a few other Magical Girl series among the inhabitants of Minato.

And while considering what she's seen so far, she thinks of "the things, the people, and the things that are also people" -- which is almost certainly another deliberate reference on her part to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
 * There is a brief cameo by several denizens of the Discworld in the wake of the time machine's destruction.
 * "Oh my god, it's full of star" (sic) as a suggested reaction to one of the after-effects of the time machine's destruction.
 * At least one alien from another universe has enjoyed reading The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and regrets the passing of Douglas Adams.

 * Chiyoko and her Boom Stick may be a parody of Nanoha.
