New Cutie Honey (1994)[]

    • This episode was released only a single month after Magic Knight Rayearth aired its first episode (though the manga predated it more significantly)
  • Fuu and Magic Knight Rayearth are not specifically named, but the resemblance is striking.

Season of the Sakura (1996)[]

  • The characters Mio Suzuki, Reiko Sawamura and Kiyomi Shinfuji have the same appearances respectively of Hikaru (although the hair color was changed to dark blue), Umi and Fuu right down to their designs and character personalities.

The Ciberequipo Akihabara[]

  • Suzume Sakurajousui bears some resemblance to Marina, but not so much physically but rather in the fact that both girls are rich, snobbish and grumpy.
  • Crane "Prince" has some resemblance to Barnstrike Clef.
  • Ohtori Tsubame seems to refer to Light. Even Tsubame had planned to use his paw-pi become diva (which also make leg-pi of the protagonists of the series) to "play with Hibari," which would refer to when Light wanted to "play" with Hikaru.
