Line 3:
 
* There are actually two completely unrelated series both called ''[[Gakuen Heaven]]''. One is a [[Yaoi Guys]] series set in an all boys school, the other is an ''ecchi series'' about a ''ronin'' teacher set in an all girls' school. Don't get 'em mixed up.
** On a similar note, there are also two series called ''[[Gakkou No Sensei]]''. One is about a male teacher at a supernatural school of some sort (I haven't actually read it, so I could be wrong),{{verify}} while the other is about three female teachers who also happen to live together. Adding to the coincidence, they both have hints of [[Ho Yay]] (the first one) and [[Les Yay]] (the second one).
* There's a group of people called "Fairy Tail", but are they a Chaotic Good group of [[Fairy Tail|magic users]] or a Chaotic Evil gang of [[Rosario + Vampire|monster terrorists]]?
* The [[Pokémon]] Ledian and the [[Mobile Suit Gundam Wing|Gundam Wing]] character Lady Une share the same katakana (レディアン), though Une has a dot between the ィ and the ア.
Line 63:
** There's also Mami Futami from [[The Idolmaster]] franchise.
* Kagura from ''[[Inuyasha]]'' is not to be confused with Kagura Sohma from ''[[Fruits Basket]]'' or Kagura from ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'' or Kagura from [[Ga-Rei]].
* Aoi Futaba: [[You're Under Arrest|Crossdressing police officer]] or [[AsobiCat niPlanet Iku yo!Cuties|cute but badass teenage diplomat]]?
* The fictional character [[Initial D|Ryosuke Takahashi]] happens to share his name with a real life anime director.
* "Sakura" is a very common girl's name in Japan. Along with the aforementioned two Sakura Haruno's, there's also [[Street Fighter Alpha|a certain street fighting fangirl]], anda [[Cardcaptor Sakura|a certain magical girl who collects magical cards]], a [[Fate/stay night|participant in the Fifth Grail War]]. and [[Urusei Yatsura|the nurse at Ataru Moroboshi's school]].
* [[Getter Robo|Musashi Tomoe]] and [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica|Mami Tomoe]]. Somehow, [[They Killed Kenny|this makes perfect sense.]]
** In the same way, [[Rurouni Kenshin|Tomoe Yukishiro]], [[Mai-Otome|Tomoe Marguerite]] and simply [[Queen's Blade|Tomoe]].
Line 81:
* '''Saber''': [[Fate/stay night|a female King Arthur?]] or [[Transformers Victory|an Autobot?]]
* JoJo is a diminutive nickname, but does it belong to anyone from or related to the [[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Joestar family]], or to the youthful royal heir [[Panzer World Galient|Jordy Volder]]. or to [[Stellvia of the Universe|a student space pilot]]?
* A case of "name's ''written'' the same": 初春 can be read as either "Hatsuharu" or "Uiharu". Artists who are fans of both ''[[Kantai Collection]]'' and ''[[A Certain Scientific Railgun]]'' [https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/2718293 have] [https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/44148355 noticed].
* A dub-induced example on one side: Is Amy Anderson an [[Ill Girl]] in the first broadcast episode of ''[[Princess Principal]]'', or is she [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Mercury]]?
