You may have noticed that the recent Eromanga Sensei episode 8, "Dreaming Sagiri and Summer Fireworks," worked in a few cameos from its Dengeki family. Kuroneko from sibling series Oreimo popped in for a bit of an interview. Then, discussing her dream-goal, author-character Elf Yamada let it rip on the publisher.

Sword Art Online author Reki Kawahara explained on Twitter that originally this was more expicit in its name-dropping. First bit to go, much to Eromanga/Oreimo author Tsukasa Fushimi's regret, was a "That damn Reki... he's grown up a bit" comment.

That said, the anime might have gotten the last laugh. Look over Kirito's shoulder. That robot-looking fellow is Tin Writer, the character that Kawahara voiced in Accel World.
