** Towards the end of episode 11, Kodaira-sensei says the following: "Give me the seven defects and eight agonies." This is the title and lyrics of a song from the Japanese death metal band, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCbvZ7qUafI Mononofu]].

** The mobile weapon platform upgrade Timothy receives in episode 11 is the [[{{Franchise/Gundam}} RX-78GP03S "Dendrobium Stamen"]].

** Ruri: [[HopelessSuitor Tragic Love]]; she has an unhealthy [[PeverseSexualLust romantic obsession with a construction site safety sign]].[[invoked]]

* ShipperOnDeck: Anne and Botan are supportive of Ruri's relationship with the construction worker sign.

* BrilliantButLazy: She's athletic and a very creative thinker, but tries to do the least amount of work and maximize her nap time.

* CloudCuckooLandersMinder: Ruri for both Anne and Botan, as she's the one who tries to keep them out of trouble most of the time. Ren is also this way for Hibiki.

* ACupAngst: Anne is prone to expressing displeasure with her assets when reminded of [[GagBoobs Botan's much larger bust]]. The issue is humorously only in Anne's imagination, as she's [[http://i.imgur.com/7tVPgAg.jpg at ''least'' averaged size]] and comparing herself to the most endowed student of the class. Timothy lecherously points this out when it wonders aloud what Botan has been eating to get her enormous chest.

* ACupAngst: The first time Anne was seen to be unhappy in the anime was due to this... Which is odd, as episodes 8 and 10 show that Anne is NOT lacking at all in the bust department.

* BeachEpisode: The girls spend a part of their summer vacation at the beach. A man-made beach built especially for Botan because she's unable to go to an actual beach.

* CatchPhrase: Hanako is fond of using the word ''sugoku'' (Japanese for ''immensely'') when describing how pleased she is about something.

* CherryBlossoms: The first episode is full of clouds of falling cherry blossom petals. Fitting, as it's spring during the first day of classes.

** Ruri: [[HopelessSuitor Tragic Love]]; she has an unhealthy [[CargoShip romantic obsession with a construction site safety sign]].[[invoked]]

* FloralThemeNaming: Anne (apricot, or "An"), Botan (peony), and Ren (Lotus).

** Ruri seems to do this a lot, especially around Anne or when she sees ''that'' sign.

* MeasuringDay: Episode is about this, although what is measured is less about the body but Class 7's misfortune.

It's a new school year, and for Ruri Hibarigaoka it's also a new start of sorts, especially now that she's been enrolled in the prestigious Tennogofune Academy. However on the way to school, she encounters [[CharacterTitle Anne Hanakoizumi]], a girl her age from the same school... Who also happened to be hanging from her collar off the side of a bridge after she tried to rescue a puppy.

After helping Anne with her predicament, Ruri soon discovers that she's also in the same class at Tennogofune, class 7. Unlike the other classes however, which specialize in sports or the arts, class 7 specializes in one thing: the pursuit of happiness. This is because, for one reason or another, every member of the class is beset by some level of "misfortune", and it is the duty of the class as a whole to make sure that they find some way to be happy in their daily lives, ''in spite'' of these misfortunes.

* {{Cyberspace}}: A good part of episode 8 takes place in a VirtualReality casino, where the various games of chance will be used to measure the luck of Class 7's students. Kodaira admits that this is because [[RealityEnsues as an educational institution, Tennogofune ''can't'' build an actual physical casino on its grounds.]] Later on, Anne and her friends are invited by Timothy into a dueling arena in the same area.

* ElaborateUndergroundBase: The school has a special obstacle course located more than 400 meters below the surface built just to "study" the misfortune levels of Class 7. It's themed around a board game, down to a person-scaled 6-sided dice. This is anime-only, the same arc in manga happens in a gymnasium-like building that was specifically built for Class 7.
** The facility makes its return in episode 8, but this time the class is brought to an even ''deeper'' section (1000 meters below the school) for their end-of-term special exam.

* {{Tsundere}}: Hibiki switches between snippy and reluctant acceptance towards her other four companions. Though for Ren, she does it to hide her feelings.

* MagicalGirl: The oddly-named Valkyrie class in the Duel Arena, which is strong against Demon-type enemies. Even the costumes the girls end up wearing are all deliberate references to members of the {{Precure}} franchise (for example, Anne's looks like Cure Pineapple).

** [[ClinglyJealousGirl Hibiki]] angrily chasing away animals who get to clingy to Ren for her liking.

** The entire Valkyrie attack segment in episode 8 is obviously a homage to many ''many'' final battles in the Precure franchise.

* MagicalGirl: The oddly-named Valkyrie class in the Duel Arena, which is strong against Demon-type enemies. Even the costumes the girls end up wearing are all deliberate shout-outs to various parts of the PreCure franchise.

** Finally, Kodaira picks the Black Knight. ''Everyone'' comments on just how such an evil-looking class just ''fits'' Kodaira.
