Trivia:

When Koume looses her ribbon in the tree, her line are lifted almost exactly from the "Aria's Ribbon" episode of Sister Princess.

Episode 4 : There were tons of references in this episode. First is when Hiiragi puts on sunglasses and carries a toy hammer, which is a reference to an old Japanese variety show called "Uchimura Produce" or "Uchi-P" for short. Soon after that scene, Anzu can be seen as Lum and Tsuchida as Ataru (Urusei Yatsura). And the taisho era scene where it shows Anzu with glasses and Tsuchida with an old fashioned school uniform is possibly a reference to "Haikara-san ga Tooru". Lastly, the ending card illustration by Iwasaki Masakazu features Hiiragi as Eagle One from Gatchaman.

Episode 5 - At the very beginning where they're discussing going undercover to spy on Tsuchida, Hiiragi cosplays as Detective Conan.

Episode 5 - Right after the Evangelion gashapon scene, the sign of neko-panda inside a watermelon split in half is a reference to Tama-chan (cat) from Sazae-san. The dance that Anzu mimics is also a reference to Tama-chan dance.

Episode 6 - During the pool scene where Hiiragi in a kappa suit shooting at Koume with a squirt gun, Hiiragi's line is "aim at the center and pull the switch", which is a reference to Evangelion episode 3 where Shinji target practices with a Sachiel simulation.
