I thought it was interesting that there were so many 'items' in the
manga
that were in the OP..
in fact I did take note of what characters were scrolling past when I
watched
AMS (yet again!) a couple of weeks ago...

apart from the already mentioned Mara, Senbee, the 3 ninjas and the
racing couple (German? American? not sure)...I got:

Banpei-kun, the girl from K1's college 'mystery' club? (the fortune
teller/medium), Megumi's 'house keeper' spirit (who is turned into a
mouse by 
Belldandy), the 'Virus' bottle (jar?), the red octopuses(?) Mara
used...and
one of K1's professors
