For the most part, I agree.

But the Oreki and Mikuru ones have an absolutely uncanny similarity, and Oreki and Mikuru were both in KyoAni-made shows and this show is by KyoAni, so...

I honestly do kind of think that those two bits were subtle shoutouts to other KyoAni characters and works. And that's fine. P.A. Works does this sort of thing all the time.
