Watch anime long enough and you'll start to spot Easter eggs. Some are obvious, while others are subtle enough to slip past even the most attentive fans. Studios like Kyoto Animation, Madhouse, Shaft, and Trigger often sneak in references to their other works - like Kyuubey from Puella Magi Madoka Magica appearing on a sign in Nisemonogatari. The connection might be the original creator, such as the married manga artists behind Hunter X Hunter and Sailor Moon, who occasionally include crossovers. Other references are more surprising, like JJ Leroy from Yuri!!! on ICE dressing up as Eric Cartman. Not all Easter eggs are crossovers, though - take Pandaman, a character who appears in every episode of the long-running One Piece series. Which of these Easter eggs do you enjoy the most? Vote for your favorites.
