This episode keeps referring to Akio and End of the World as "Daddy Long Legs." This refers to a 1912 American novel that became very popular in Japan. It's about an orphan teenage girl who gets a mysterious benefactor willing to pay her college tuition. She only communicates with him through letters and starts to call him Daddy Long Legs after seeing a glimpse of his shadow. More modern readers can find the relationship problematic because of the risk of manipulation and dependency and the fact that Daddy Long Legs is significantly older than the protagonist.

By the way, I don't know if you know that there's also a movie: Adolescence of Utena.
