Oh man, yeah there sure is a reference to Dokuro-chan..... Mio's weapon of choice is..... a BASEBALL BAT, with a ribbon tied around the handle. From memory the ribbon is pink with lace.
Gack.... another one I missed and I just realized it. Actually it might not be one, but it could be.
Noa, the loli girl genius wears thigh high stockings, striped like Stockings stockings, from 'Panty & Stocking w/ Garterbelt', but hers are striped yellow and white, not blue and white like Stockings stockings are.
I like how new anime is quietly putting references to other older anime in to their work.
It might not be really obvious, like the DBZ and Sailor Moon ones, in MM!, it might be something a simple as a poster on a wall in the background, but a lot of the new anime are doing it these days.
Havoc10K:
Yeah they are, and some are starting again to do proper advertisements, like CocaCola and Dr.Pepper :)
You probably miss out some references because you either don't know the show it refers to or you just missed a small detail, so as you said, some stuff isn't "In your face" but it's still there, and that is good.
You can only catch all references if you watched all possible anime shows and tha tis hardly possible cuz some are straight out boring.
On another note, time to re-watch "You're Under Arrest!"
it's been waiting in line for a while, but there are obligatory stuff to do before I re-watch anything :)

"You're Under Arrest!" hmmm.
Wonder what your avvy is going to look like? Ika in a police uniform? That could be....interesting. :D
*goes to look up the afore mentioned anime.
EDIT: Ok...... I am now getting pretty much every YUA related anime on BakaBT. That's a *LOT* of anime.
I don't plan on watching it all in one go, all up there is around 100 episodes over three seasons, plus some OVA, plus the 'mini specials' and a MOVIE!
I can see myself watching the first season, then watching something completely unrelated, then watching the second season and so on.

I don't plan on watching it in one go as well, a season a month, so the set will be changing quite a lot :)
It is a lot to watch, but it was so damn long time ago I watched it, and CGi released the movie in BD not too long ago :) awesome is awesome :)

It had better be pretty good, the movie is just over 11gb.
Witchblade is looking good too right now. I've just watched episode 4.
It's dubbed and the default is English, with subs for the OP and ED, but the good thing is that it's dual audio, so I can watch it in Japanese with English subs.
The bad thing is, even though I can get the episodes to default to Japanese, I can't work out how to have the English subs come on by default, but that's just a niggle really.
The other things is..... the subs suck. They seem to be pretty accurate word wise, but they are chunky and blocky, like the lettering you used to get in the old 16 bit arcade games.
They are quite readable though.
The lead character is quite cute when she is in 'mommy' mode and her 6 year old daughter almost defines the word cute, as in 'awww cute'. She's adorable.
