Edits

Allusions

"Best Friends" - The title "Best Fronds" is a play on the aforementioned phrase.
"The Wizard of Oz" - The famous quote "There's No Place Like Home" appears engraved on a decoration next to the cash register.
"Sega Dreamcast" - The console appears, alongside its controller, the VMU, and the games, Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi in a glass container in the cash register's desk.
"Maneki-neko" - The chinese cat Maneki-neko, is on the shelf above the cash register's desk.

Errors

In the flashback, before Anne opens the Calamity Box, Sasha is seen without her jacket, but it appears after Anne opens the box.
- In the same scene, Anne's backpack is nowhere to be seen even though she had it on her in the thrift store, and later has it on her during her stay in Amphibia.
