Hidamari Sketch/YMMV
- Crazy Awesome - Miyako likes doing mundane things in bizarre ways. In the sports festival, she choose to balance on top of the ball rather than push it by hand, and form a human pyramid in the ball throwing competition.
- Crowning Music of Awesome:
- Hoshimittsu's opening is more this than the usual Ear Worm.
- Masaki Endoh just sang the hotblooded version.
- Ear Worm
- OP of every season.
- First season: Nanka ii kimochi nareba ii kanji...
- Second season: HAAATEHATEHATEHATEHAAATENAAAAAA NOOOBINOBINOBINOBINONBIRITOOO
- Third season: SHUWA SHUWAAAAA! SHUWA SHUWAAAAA!
- Ensemble Darkhorse
- Despite her being a minor character in the manga and having only recently been introduced in the anime, fans have latched onto Arisawa like moss to a rock.
- Word of God: She had Arisawa gave her cell phone number to Yuno because she was popular among Japanese readers.
- Ho Yay - The series--especially the anime--has enough of those that we have a special page for that.
- Memetic Mutation
- OH GOD MY NUTBLADDER
- Also, "oh god yoshinoya is hot"
- "Ume-sensei hates Natsume."
- Moe
- Surprisingly Improved Sequel - Hidamari Sketch x 365 gains a lot by better comedic timing and greater focus on the relationships between the main characters.
- Tastes Like Diabetes - It's cute. It's really, really cute. Ever since a thread on 4chan in which a user posted concerns over a painful "nutbladder" accompanied by pictures from Hidamari Sketch, the default response to such pictures (usually of Yuno) is along the lines of "OH GOD MY NUTBLADDER!"
- What Do You Mean It's Not for Little Girls?: This series is very clean-- however, this is a Seinen series aired in Otaku O'Clock.
- The Woobie:
- Nazuna. Also in-universe as part of why she's such a Dude Magnet.
- Yuno can also be one at times when she's low on confidence.
- And then there's Natsume, who can attest first-hand that Love Hurts.
