Line 45:
* [[Subspace Ansible]]: Inverted; while UN spacecraft are capable of FTL travel, they lack FTL communications. Ironically, a newspaper near the end of the film reports that the generation of starships built ''after'' Mikako departed will have the FTL communication capability that the ships of her fleet lack.
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: The [[Computer Voice]] of the ''Lysithea'' is voiced by a native English speaker (Donna Burke, the same actress who later provided the voice of Raising Heart in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''), and thus her pronunciation and intonation are flawless, although the word ordering is unusual in some places.
* [[Theme and Variations Soundtrack]]: In the soundtrack notes, Tenmon remarks that he essentially created the soundtrack by writing a "Theme A" and "Theme B", and then made variations on those two themes to provide appropriate background music for every scene.
* [[Time Dilation]]: The fleet has FTL travel, averting this trope. It merely takes an increasingly long amount of time for Mikako's messages to reach Noboru as she travels farther from Earth due to the lack of FTL communications technology; she compares it to twentieth-century air mail.
* [[Time Skip]]: The narrative skips back and forth between Mikako and Noboru, covering a period of about six months on her side and more than eight years on his.
