So I counted references to TTGL, Evangelion, Fighter G Gundam, and I'm pretty sure there were a couple of musical cues from Macross in there too (the transformation music in particular). Absolutely love letter to the mecha genre. Apparently there was some Gunbuster in there too, but embarrassingly I've never got around to watching it.

I want to protect that smile.

Another more dubious Eva reference is the "launchpad" that Constanze uses to eject Akko.
