** The Halloween OVA, or rather its placement right between episode 5 and 6. It has no bearing on the plot whatsoever due to being set in an AlternativeContinuity (where Djeeta is the captain), and whatever we learn about the characters involved does not necessarily apply to them in season 2's main continuity. Not helped is the art style, which is back to being the one seen throughout Season 1 due to being made and released before Season 2 proper.

** Lich makes somewhat of a {{Cameo}} as Lyria's summon in the flashback scene of Episode 10 when she is used for an experiment.

** Episode 1 has a {{Cameo}} of Aliza helping the protagonists in a quest of fighting Tezcatlipoca. Although the episode then reveals their next destination as the Albion Citadel, continuing the main story arc from the game.

* OffModel: Rather noticeably with Ferry, the size of the flask she carries around varies wildly between scenes.

* AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: It is tradition in Albion that the next Lord Commander is chosen from the cadets of the academy in a 1v1 tournament. Also overlaps with AuthorityGrantsAsskicking, as the victorious cadet then bonds with the primal beast Luminiera, amplifying their capabilities to PhysicalGod levels, but also binding them to the island of Albion.

* OffModel:
** A [[https://i.redd.it/ldly4w3zauxy.jpg scene]] shows Io with [[ExtraDigits six fingers on one hand]].
** In Episode 12, a close-up of Yuel's face reveals a pair of normal human ears underneath her hair. Generally, Erunes only have one pair of ears - their defining animalistic ears on top of their head and nothing else on the sides.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: It is tradition in Albion that the next Lord Commander is chosen from the cadets of the academy in a 1v1 tournament. Also overlaps with AuthorityEqualsAsskicking, as the victorious cadet then bonds with the primal beast Luminiera, amplifying their capabilities to PhysicalGod levels, but also binding them to the island of Albion.

The anime adaptation of the [[VideoGame/GranblueFantasy mobile game]], officially titled ''Granblue Fantasy The Animation'' by Creator/A1Pictures, airing in the Spring2017Anime season.

* DealWithTheDevil: Gran's party meets up with General Furias again on the island of Albion. There he has a contract written up clearing the group of any crimes against the Empire, and Furias claims they've got bigger fish to worry about than Lyria. Gran thinks it's too good to be true, and later finds out that the real deal was that Katalina would be forced to stay behind to assume the role of the new Lord Commander, and the Empire would use the primal beast, Luminiera, for their own purposes. And Furias was supposed to kill Gran and his crew except for Katalina. [[spoiler:And when he almost accidentally kills her, this sets off Vira's BerserkButton, and she starts to attack him with Luminiera's powers.]]

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Episode 14, which is split into two parts. The first has Gran entering a wrestling match with a muscly god, and in the second half, Djeeta is a student at St. Albion, along with Io and Lyria. It starts out like a generic BishoujoSeries show, and then turns into a Mecha parody after Vira transforms into a mecha from extreme jealousy at Djeeta. Which then turns out to be a random story one of Djeeta's crewmates came up with. And who could that be if not [[spoiler: the Lowain bros]]?
