<p>In episode 7 of <em>Ouran</em>, Renge cosplays (poorly) as Kisaragi Quon from <em>RahXephon</em>. </p>

<p>But why? </p>

<p>I suppose it could just be a throwaway reference, given that that <em>Ouran</em> and <em>RahXephon</em> are both Bones productions; I'm just wondering if there's any greater depth to it than that.</p>
