Line 14:
* [[Baseball Episode]]: Not so much an episode, but Makoto and Erio join an amateur baseball team in later episodes.
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: Elliot, Meme ''and'' Erio have glittering hair.
* [[Bland-Name Product]]: Amongst other examples, Episode 11 features a "[[Super Famicom|Kingindo Superior Computer]]" with games such as "[[Earthbound|Father 2]]" and "[[Super Mario Kart
* [[Broken Bird]]: {{spoiler|Erio has shades of this. Just disappeared one day, showed up half a year later with nary a memory as to what happened during that time, retreated into her fond memories of space, tried to do an ET bike moment, broke her leg during that same moment, and retreated even deeper into her space fantasies, as well as a futon.}}
* [[Bumbling Dad|Bumbling Mom]]: Meme ''does'' love her little girl, and the only time she's ever been shown to be serious was when she's thinking about Erio. But that doesn't stop her from showing she has absolutely '''no''' idea on how to be a parent. At best, she's more like an emotionally stunted older sister. At worst, [[Abusive Mom|she's willing to fling her daughter around the house]].
Line 34:
* [[Driving Question]]: Just what happened to Erio to make her lose a year's worth of memories?
* [[Expressive Hair]]: Erio's seems to glitter when she's happy.
* [[Expy]]: Meme looks like [[Toradora
** And Makoto's basically a [[Deadpan Snarker|snarkier]] version of [[Durarara|Mikado]].
* [[Foot Focus]]/[[Does Not Like Shoes]]: Erio often goes barefoot, and there's quite a bit of shots to Erio's bare feet, at least in the anime. Most of the time, we can only see her legs and feet anyway -- her upper body is hidden in a futon.
Line 64:
* [[Male Gaze]]: Quite a bit of it with Erio, especially during the ending credits.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Erio Touwa's full name can be spelled out as E.T. No wonder she thinks she's an alien. On top of that, it turns out that her father's name was [[Shout-Out|''Elliot'']].
* [[Moe]]: [[In
** [[Genre Savvy|Makoto]] also questions whether Ryuuko/[[My Name Is Not Durwood|Ryuushi]] is also deliberately invoking the term to describe herself.
* [[Mrs. Robinson]]: '''Meme'''. It's part of her complex about getting older and acting childish; she's constantly shamelessly flirting with Makoto (and everyone else).
Line 71:
** [[Miyu Irino]]: Makoto Niwa (Irino's first big Shaft role)
** [[Ai Nonaka]]: Meme Touwa (that may explain why Meme is one of the cutest anime moms to date)
** [[Emiri Katou]]: Ryuuko "[[My Name Is Not Durwood|Ryuushi]]" Mifune (Katou's big break from her nigh-[[Real Life|real-life]]-[[Heroic BSOD|breakdown]]-inducing [[Playing Against Type|casting as]] [[Faux Affably Evil|the infamous]] [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica
** [[Yuka Iguchi]]: Yashiro Hoshimiya (It's [[To Aru Majutsu no Index|Index]]! Except in a spacesuit! And claims she's an esper!)
** [[Kana Hanazawa]]: [[The Danza|Hanazawa]] (heh... [[Sarcasm Mode|thank you]], [[The Nicknamer|Maekawa]])
* [[New Transfer Student]]: One subverted case: Makoto ''was'' a new kid in town. The story is set in his second year there. [[Only Known
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Maekawa seems to like giving people names that she's very comfortable with. To date, Ryuuko is "Ryuushi" {{spoiler|(courtesy of Erio)}}, Makoto is "[[New Transfer Student|Tenkousei]]" and that minor baseball player character is "[[Kana Hanazawa|Hana]][[The Danza|zawa]]".
* [[Not the Fall That Kills You]]: Erio fell off a bridge when attempting to recreate the famous "ET Flying Bike" scene, breaking her leg in the process. {{spoiler|Makoto broke his arm when they did the same thing together.}}
Line 97:
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: Gender-flipped -- Ryuuko's teammates constantly tease her about Makoto being her boyfriend, which she vehemently denies. Interestingly, he doesn't seem to be entirely against the idea...
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Erio comes off as one once she ditches her futon. Meme's teasing doesn't help.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Meme's dialogue is full of anime memes and references to video games. For example, she [http://earthboundcentral.com/2011/04/more-mother-references-in-anime/ quotes the intro] to ''[[
** The ending has one for E.T. {{spoiler|Erio ATTEMPTED to do the same. It... didn't work out, and is now the reason she wears that futon.}}
** Makoto saying he'll [[To Aru Majutsu no Index|destroy Erio's illusions]] before deciding he's not [[Hot Blood|Hot Blooded]] enough. {{spoiler|He does it anyway.}}
Line 103:
** "Stop, stop, stop, stop! [[The Girl Who Leapt Through Time|I'm a Makoto, too!]] Stop it! [[Time Stands Still|Time, stop!]]"
** [[Eureka 7|"IIIIIIII KYAAAAAN'T FRYYYYYYYYYY!"]]
** "How much of that was you acting cold? "99.7% real, 0.3% acting." "What about me?" "About [[
** The last episode makes two more references to [[
** Erio's bizarre, pokemon-like noises whilst in the futon are a shout out to ''[[Full Metal Panic|Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu]]''.
** "Do you think I'd let a runaway who eats off fields in here?" Guess to whom this line is addressed to. Then think of [[To Aru Majutsu no Index|a certain blue-haired character in a white nun's habit]] and remember how much of a glutton she is.
** Episode 11 references the Yiddish folk song "Donna donna" about a calf being taken to slaughter. Difficult to say where this one comes from, since it's appeared in numerous anime, including Revolutionary Girl Utena and Ghost in the Shell: SAC.
** Another one in Episode 11 when Makoto and Maekawa are playing a game on the television. It's [[
** In episode 10, after Makoto and Yashiro jump into the pool, she says "Take this, [[
** At the end of volume 3, Yashiro [[Earthbound|tries PK Starstorm]] on Makoto. {{spoiler|The ensuing meteorite leaves quite a mark on him.}}
* [[Social Services Does Not Exist]]: If it did here, Erio would've been taken away a long time ago and given some psychiatric examinations.
