The roll cake is a Nichijou reference. The robot in question also has a wind-key that causes her toe to shoot across the room. :psyduck:

It doesn't make sense that she can make those references without know what "anime" is. It would make sense if it were one popular anime that air on TV but Azumanga Daioh and Nichijou aren't that famous to people outside of otaku culture are they? Where they aired on Canada? Was she just messing with Momo or some crazy explanation is to come?

She hates being associated as an otaku due to it's negative connotations? Or since she is asian (She looks Chinese/Vietnamese), the terminology isn't forthcoming?

What I mean is that the only way for her not know what anime is is by being totally oblivious of otaku culture so she only know about animes that she see on TV and not actively get them. Since Azumanga and Nichijou aren't ultra popular shows with mass producted episodes like Dragonball it is unlikely that she would know them without knowing what anime is.

I think she's just having crazy ideas about robots, and they just "happen to be references". 4th wall-ey kinda gag. As T mentioned, Nichijou is a very recent series that would probably not be known by many people who aren't following the scene.
And I'm not sure where Anpanman comes into the equation, especially not from referencing that episode.
