Pretty sure it's a direct reference. kyotoani was a part of the second and third seasons of fmp.

They even mention he's a ripoff of something else. The flavor is real as the Kanye character reference.

Let's start with both Amagi and FMP being adapted from light novels written by the same author.

lol because the author of FMP and Amaburi is the same, it's not a coincidence :p

That's why he's called a ripoff.

I also think it's a way to attract more viewers.

Speaking of Full Metal Panic, is this as good as FMP Fumoffu? I'll consider it a must-watch if its even half as good as Fumoffu. Haven't seen a KyoAni in a long ass time but man, its Fumoffu. From what I hear, I don't have my hopes too high up though.

Anyways, "moffle" is one of the two sounds that Bonta-kun makes, the other being obviously "fumoffu."

It makes sense that watching this show is going to raise interest in the character
"Bonta-kun" (ボン太くん) in "Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu" (2003). The appearance
and personalities of Moffle and Bonta-kun are similar. Bonta-kun is taller than
Moffle.

An essential point to mention is that Bonta-kun rarely appears in the series. Here
is where you can see him:

Episode 4, second half
"Single-Minded Stakeout" / "Ichizu na Suteikuauto"
(Set in an amusement park.)

Episode 6, first half
"The Hard Sell Fetish" / "Oshiuri no Fetisshu"
("Pony! Pony!")

Episode 10, entire episode
"A Fancy Without Honor or Humanity" / "Jingi Naki Fanshī"
(Yakuza-theme)

There are a few episodes of Lucky Star where a plush doll of Bonta-kun is sitting
randomly in various places. See here:

In one instance, policewoman Yui wore a Bonta-kun festival mask, as seen here:
