Line 6:
** Emma Sheen is [[Maya Okamoto]]'s ''debut'' role.
** Jamitov Hymen voiced by Tomomichi "[[Street Fighter|M. Bison]]" Nishimura, anyone?
** Sarah Zabiarov is [[Yuko Mizutani]]'s ''debut''.
* [[Milestone Celebration]]: 2004's ''Zeta Gundam'' movie trilogy was released to celebrate both the 20th anniversary of the show, and the 25th anniversary of the ''Gundam'' franchise.
* [[The Other Darrin]]:
** In the English dub, a voice actors' strike happening at the time meant that none of the returning characters from the original ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam]]'' had their original voices.
** Many of the female characters had their Japanese voice cast replaced for the [[Compilation Movie]].
* [[Reality Subtext]]: According to backstage rumor, Reccoa and Scirocco were at least partly based on seiyuu [[Maria Kawamura]] and character and mecha designer extraordinaire Mamoru Nagano, who were the other two thirds of a [[Love Triangle]] Tomino was involved in during production. They got married, actually, and still are.
** ''Zeta Gundam'' seems to be a veritable lightning rod for backstage drama. There's also the infamous recasting of Four in the compilation movies, allegedly due to a [[Casting Couch]] arrangement between [[Yukana]] and the director, as well as Rosamia's much reduced role as a result of the casting director having been married to her original seiyuu and then divorcing, resulting in her being replaced by a less experienced actress.
* [[Troubled Production]]: Like WOAH! Just look at the [[Reality Subtext]] entry above.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** GatesOriginally, CapaGates was originally{{spoiler|supposed intendedto die together with Rosamia}}. And ''then'' he was going to {{spoiler|survive and returnreappear in ''ZZ Gundam'' (which would have presumably involved a great deal of [[Talking to Yourself]])}}. He never didappears in ''ZZ Gundam'', but his final fate is left ambiguous.
** In an abandoned draft of ''[[Chars Counterattack]]'', Jerid Messa was meant to survive and become Amuro's wingman... Then ''ZZ Gundam'' came in the way.
** Speaking of Jerid, there were plans at one point during ''Zeta Gundam'''s production to have him turned into a cyborg by Haman.
** Emma Sheen was supposedly slated to return in ''ZZ Gundam'' as well.
** Fa was originally meant to get the Hambrabi (then called the "Methuss") as her Mobile Suit instead of the dinky, finalized Methuss that appeared in the anime. It's purpose was also very different, being a long-ranged spotter MS meant to play into the Zeta's long beam rifle and Mega Launcher capabilities, instead of the close-combat whipping-intensive armament set the Hambrabi got.
