Honey and Clover/YMMV
- Crowning Music of Awesome: The anime's entire soundtrack, performed by several notable Japanese pop acts. Especially noteworthy are the tunes by Suneohair, which are impeccably timed at the end of every episode.
- Ho Yay: Lampshaded by Mayama's coworkers at Fujiwara Design after yelling for Takemoto to stop licking him as Leader wakes him up. Nomiya even says that 'a lot of those types end up in this business'. It doesn't help that Takemoto's spending nights sleeping in Mayama's room due to the lack of an air conditioner making those hot summer nights less restful.
- Nightmare Fuel: The first opening, with some disturbing Stop Motion-animated food, eg what looks like a fried human hand writing "Help" and another hand made from shrimps.
- Tear Jerker: When Takemoto opens Hagu's package on the train and discovers the honey and clover sandwiches. That was the biggest one, but this show's full of them.
- The entire second half of the second season.
