Trivia for which I can't find the source back.


* TransformationRay: A bit literal in this case, but note that the first transformation is even less instantaneous than the other ones: Thomas realizes he's changed into a girl only the next day when he wakes up.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original version had Thomas transforming with a very specific cell phone ringing that was in fashion at the time in-universe. And all of it [[NoodleImplements because of sex-changing shrimps]].

There isn't actual evidence that any of these characters was an expy (as in, "clearly deliberate reference on the part of the author").


* {{Expy}}: The characters of Justin and Aude are clearly based off SecretKeeper s Annie Mack and Ray Alvarado respectively, from the series ''Series/TheSecretWorldOfAlexMack''; one being a TeenGenius sibling of the main character, while the other one is his opposite-sex closest friend. Possibly also Bastien, who, in the episode he appears in, fills a role that is quite similar to that of [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Tatewaki Kuno]] (except he's a rather mundane soccer player and a one-shot character).[[note]]Aude may have a bit of [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Akane Tendo]] as well, as among other things, she is described as being a (former, in this case) {{Tomboy}}-ish girl with ACupAngst. She also plays Juliet in the Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet-themed episode, and even [[spoiler:ends up as Thomas' ultimate LoveInterest]]. It may be just a coincidence though, as she also initially has a crush on the Kuno expy, something the original Akane would definitely ''not'' do.[[/note]]

For a while, the series was only available [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNo_cH--YrphOVoPkoQK9yEypTfR0AZTf in Bulgarian]] on Youtube (which means that even French-speaking people couldn't understand it!) in addition of being OutOfOrder and not even being present in its entirety.

Thankfully, for French speakers, it's still possible to get information about the series [[https://web.archive.org/web/20050126011606fw_/http://serie.viceversa.free.fr/ here]] and [[http://lbelland.free.fr/htdocs/pages/viceversa.htm here]], and the whole first season of the show is also available

* AlliterativeTitle
* AllTherapistsAreMuggles: In one episode, Emmanuelle transforms back into Thomas while wearing girl clothes, and he's seen by his parents as such. They take him to a psychologist to investigate what's going wrong with him. The psychologist initially believes Thomas just has dreams where he turns into a girl, until he actually transforms in front of her. [[{{Fainting}} This does not end well]].
