Trivia
A character in the show is named Ringo Oginome. "Ringo" is Japanese for "apple", and the Japanese kanji for "ringo" also reads "pingu", for "penguin". According to the producers and writers, because the apple is pivotal in fairytales (especially the tale of Snow White) they wanted to name an important character after the fruit.

Goofs
The EKG monitoring Hikari in several episodes is not connected to her.

Crazy credits
At the end of each episode there is an illustration of one of the characters, in a position hinting at something in that episode or a forthcoming episode.

Best Series online,Ultra Cool on Blu-Ray

How I got into it: When I first heard about this series from a couple of cos player's at a con dressing up as the characters from it,I had to prove if they say it's the best series to check out. When I watched the show online,they were right,and I really enjoyed it.

When I decided to buy it: When I read about this anime getting released on DVD,and Blu-Ray during the winter in a Magazine,I really wanted to buy it on Blu-Ray,and I did.When I bought the series on Blu-Ray,first collection at Best Buy,and the Second collection at the con,it was like watching it online all over again.

Favorites: I have to say that the series was truly amazing,favorite characters were Himari,and the Double H girls,and their outfits were pretty hot. Of course,I love the music in the show.

Meaning: What this show reminds us all that fate can be very hard,and we must never tempt fate. And we should always be very careful on what we do,and not get into trouble.

But however,I really like this show,and those cos player's who were the characters from the show were right. It's truly the best.
