* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: In the light novels and Vofan's corresponding illustrations, Hitagi had brown hair. In the anime it's purple. There ''is'' the ending of episode six and the beginning of episode seven where everybody's hair is rather subdued and brown, but it's arguably due to lighting.
** In episode 13 her hair is quite visibly dark brown/black--even darker than in the original illustrations.
