-
Maria-sama ga miteru reference, obviously.
-Sebastian is a popular name for butlers, starting with
Heidi.
Anything from Disney's
Little Marmaid, to adult game
To Heart, anime series
Akihabara Denno-gumi,
Inukami, etc.
It's even funnier that Tsukasa responds to this, since she looks just like
Akari from To Heart.
-When Konata turns on her TV, it's playing the 2nd opening theme song of
Strawberry Panic, a yuri anime series.
It seems Konata is into yuri anime these days, along with Marimite. Watch out Kagami...!
-Anime shows often gets pushed back... or in worst case scenario episode canceled entirely because of baseball game getting extended. Damn those sports!
-Curry doesn't usually go bad even if you leave it out a day, if you keep the lid on the pot.
HOWEVER. Just like Konata in this episode... I have had a full pot of curry go bad after one day. I was literally in tears!
Learn your lesson before it hits you kiddos, just to be safe.. always put the pot in the fridge. Those molds can get through anything!
-Konata's phone ringer is Kanon und Gigue in D-Dur, from German composer
Johann Pachelbel. Well, it's a very popular classical music, so I'm sure everyone has heard it sometime in their life.
-Konata's ringer is, obviously,
Suzumiya Haruhi's ending song.
-Tsukasa is reading the manga
Henshuuou. Don't know which volume though.
-Kagami asks them how they felt about
Attack No.1, a popular tennis manga and anime series from the 70s.
-Konata goes into the ojou-sama mode, and says the line "Osoroshii ko..." which is a famous (and overused) line from
Garasu no Kamen (Glass Mask) manga from the 70s and 80s. Amazingly enough, this manga is still serialized, and has not concluded
yet.
-Kagami mentioned
Full Metal Panic's new book is out, and Konata notices
Comptique's new issue is out too.
So she offers to go to "
Gamers", a popular anime-oriented book and goods store in Japan.
-With the points acquired at Gamers, Konata wants to buy a Shakugan no Shana item.
-Lucky Channel's Shiraishi has his hair in twin-tail. This is a inside-joke from the Weekly Lucky Channel online radio show.
Here you can see the real Minoru Shiraishi in twin tail.
It's... horrifying!
-When Akira says make it twin drill, he imagines the drills and say "Don't underestimate the speed of Getter", to which Akira
replies "heh, Getter 2 eh?". Shiraishi's quote is famous quote by
Hayato, the pilot of Getter 2 in
Getter Robo.
-The ending song is
Chijou no Hoshi (The star on earth) by
Miyuki Nakajima.
Prior to this, Konata asks her to sing
Omoide Ippai, which is an ending theme song to the anime "
Miyuki".
That's why she mentions the Miyuki connection.
