• Keep Circulating the Tapes: A rather unusual case. While bookstores in North America at least carry the manga, good luck finding more than one volume for sale at a time, maybe two if you're lucky. Depending where you live, you'll find either the first, second, or sixth.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: In the German dub, one very minor character that isn't even named and appears in only one brief scene got the voice actor of Bruce Willis (Creator).
• Names to Know In Anime
  • Mitsuo Iwata (Kaneda), Nozomu Sasaki (Tetsuo), Mami Koyama (Kei), and Yuriko Fuchizaki (Kaori).
  • The first dub featured Cam Clarke (Kaneda), Steve Kramer (Roy), Barbara Goodson (Takashi/Kaori), and Bob Bergen (Masaru/Kai).
  • In the more recent dub, there's also Johnny Yong Bosch (Kaneda), Wendee Lee (Kei), Michelle Ruff (Kaori), and Jamieson Price (Colonel Shikishima).
• Throw It In: The scene with the black circles just before the final scene and credits is actually a pencil test.
