* [[Genius Bonus]]: Some of the Phantom Books are actual literary works.
** In episode 12, the Phantom Book that was written by a famous but unspecified assassin morphs into the gun that John Wilkes Booth used to assassinate Abraham Lincoln.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Durarara!!]]'s [[Daisuke Ono|Shizuo]] and [[Miyuki Sawashiro|Celty]] are Huey and Dalian.
** Huey's childhoodfriend and resident [[Christmas Cake]] is [[Mamiko Noto]].
** Episode 6's Mabel Nash and her younger sister are [[Aya Endo]] and [[Rina Hidaka]], respectively.
* [[Shout-Out]]: All of episode 4 is pretty much an anime version of ''[[Misery]]'' condensed into a half hour.
** And somehow makes the original [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|look tame in comparison]].
** From the same episode, a chapter title page (or something similar) in the book Dalian is reading says "Time Considered as a Helix of Semi-Precious Stones", the title of a short story by Samuel Delany.
** Hal's staff greatly resembles [[Lyrical Nanoha|Raising Heart]]. It even goes "Cartridge Load" when he stuffs a Phantom Book at one end to fuel his attack magic.
** In episode 8, a stuffed bear appears in an auction catalog, whose design is noted to have become famous thanks to "[[Theodore Roosevelt|a certain president]]."
** A certain scene in episode 3 looks strikingly similiar to Gainax's earlier mini-series, [[Houkago no Pleiades|Houkago No Pleiades]]
