Otomedius/Trivia

The place for all your Otomedius Trivia.


 * Fan Nickname:
 * Fuuma Nameicantpronounce was circulating amongst English-speaking fans who had trouble remembering Gesshi Hanafuuma's complex surname (back when the translation was thought to be Fuuma Getsushihana).
 * A translation error has also led to Fuuma being referred to as "Mon Hau".
 * Konami has finally settled on her name being Gesshi Hanafuuma, which is a little easier to handle. The nickname seems to be falling into disuse.
 * Operetta is just Operator in a Japanese accent. Used by English-speaking fans.
 * US-released material alongside Excellent reveals that her name actually is Operetta now.
 * Pengu is just what some fans call these Penguin robots, but it's stuck.
 * Franchise Killer: Unfortunately, due to poor sales and harsh/middling reception of Otomedius Excellent coupled with Konami's lack of interest in the series, especially in Western territories, it seems very unlikely the Otomedius series will bounce back and try again.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!:
 * Rina Sato is Anoa Aoba and Titi XIV, who also voiced in Mahou Sensei Negima.
 * Erul is Sakura Matou.
 * Hitomi Nabatame voices Diol, who is also Amy and Arcueid.
 * Madoka: Cute? With attitude? Look no further!
 * Emon: This one-time role is trash.
 * Tita is voiced by Ryo Hirohashi, whose resume includes |Kyou, Konata (from the radio-drama CDs) and -- wait, what? -- Tails?!
 * The prolific VA behind fan favorites like Kotona Elegance, Tamaki Kousaka and Darry is Esmeralda.
 * Mi-mi... Mikuru Beeemu! is Poini.
 * Sumi Shimamoto is L.B. Gofer, R.B. Gofer, Operetta and Irene.
 * Yuki Nagato supplies the voice of Strarf.
 * Hitomi Harada, a fairly new seiyuu, voices Kokoro Belmont.
 * No Export for You: For the first game, probably due to its dependence on a special arcade stick with a touchpad. The console-only sequel, Otomedius Excellent, released in North America in November, 2011 following some severe release date jumbling due to Executive Meddling from Microsoft.
 * Sequel First: Otomedius/Otomedius Gorgeous remain Japan-Only, while the sequel Otomedius Excellent is migrating across the pond to America and Europe.
