For those of you who didn't know, Manta's seiyuu is Inuko Inuyama, who also voices Nyasu (Meowth) on Pocket Monsters. One of the endings of the show is called "Nyasu no Uta", in which Nyasu sings. Now, I know that the lyrics SAY 'boro-boro', but I swear, listening to that song it sounds like he says 'horo-horo.' It drove me nuts listening to it at work the other day...
He does say "anna" in the song, though.

That's funny since the original SK had that joke of Boro Boro when they introduced Horo Horo.

K, got another funny.
Romi Paku does Ren's voice, and Ren loves milk. Romi Paku also does Ed's voice on FMA, and Ed HATES milk (underline that a few times, too... he REALLY hates it).

Actually, it's the "sound effect" that the sound of electricty makes. Hence the name "Pikachu" . Pika= sound of electricy Chu= sound a mouse makes.

Yeah, actually this is what I found from dictionary.com
pika- Any of several small, tailless, furry mammals of the genus Ochotona of the mountains of North America and Eurasia, resembling guinea pigs but belonging to the order of lagomorphs that includes the hares and rabbits. Also called coney1, rock rabbit.

I only brought it up with Manta because Manta's seiyuu also does Nyasu (Meowth). They could've used other words to say "shiny, sparlking, etc", but they specifically CHOSE to put "pika-pika." I'm pretty sure that it's a joke. I know that other characters in other shows use it (Chibi-Usa uses it all the time), but this one directly relates back to Pokemon.

Found another!!
In episode 7, near the end, when Jun smiles, and has her eyes partially closed, it looks almost EXACTLY like Kanan from episode... I wanna say 15... of Saiyuuki (I'll find screencaps eventually). Why is this significant? Michiko Neya does the voice of both women (also Hawkeye on FMA and Satella on Chrno Crusade).
