* ShapeshifterBaggage: Genocyber is much bigger than Elaine's human form. Also the two cyborgs in the first episode transform into mecha several times larger than their human bodies and [[HyperspaceArsenal produce weapons]] that could not have possibly been hidden inside their bodies either.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While the (sadly unfinished) manga still had the trademark gore, violence and bodily horror, it was still hopeful and had a lot of decent people trying to do the right thing. The OVA opts for an extremely cynical, nearly-nihilistic atmosphere where [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters human greed and ambition]] cause all of the chaos and violence that shapes the world for the worse. Very few decent people are shown and are forced to suffer through it all, left with physically or mentally trauma even if they somehow survive.

* PinkMist: In a fairly accurate depiction of what an autocannon designed to take on autopilots would do to the human body, a child is shot to pieces by an attack helicopter in the series' absolute most infamous scene. It essentially vaporizes everything above his upper lip, with an additional shot showing it blowing his lower leg in half just above the ankle, showing every shard of broken bone, flap of torn skin and strings of shredded tendons.

Did a LOT of fixing up and cleaning up questionable information (such as WHERE did Diana being disabled come from?) thanks to having read the only chapters of the manga and clarifying some things that didn't make sense in the article, at least to my understanding.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The final episode, and the OVA as a whole, ends on a somewhat bleak and ambiguous but still hopeful variation of this.
