- The original plots of “Wagaya no Liliana-san The Animation” and “Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation” have not been confirmed to occur in the same world, but it is highly probable given the mini-stories where the female protagonists are in the same location.
- Liliana-san appears as a main character in “Anette-san to Liliana-san The Animation,” a spin-off OVA that has no relation to the original plot of “Wagaya no Liliana-san The Animation” and “Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation.”
- The OVA “Anette-san to Liliana-san The Animation” is inspired by a mini-story where Liliana and Anette are making love with someone. Although it’s not known exactly who that person might be, it’s most likely intended to represent us, the readers of this story. This idea was later adapted in the second episode of “Tonari no Ie no Anette-san The Animation.”

- In one scene of the OVA, Tatsuya is seen playing a video game that parodies Overwatch..
- The origin of Liliana-san is a mystery, but there is speculation that she could be from another world. This is based on a mini-story where Liliana wears a Taimanin suit and calls herself “Anti-Demon Ninja, Liliana,” and appears as a playable character in TABA (Taimanin Asagi Battle Arena). Additionally, in a scene from her animated OVA, she demonstrates great speed and reflexes by preventing her boyfriend from having an accident. It is thought that she could be from a Taimanin universe and was sent to Tatsuya’s world. However, the protagonist believes that Liliana is simply cosplaying, suggesting that the Taimanin could be fictional characters in his world and Liliana is recreating them through that costume.
