Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In this version, Johnnie's mother is the one who is most upset about his decision to join the military; she even slaps him at the end of the first episode before saying goodbye. While Johnnie's father isn't in favor of his son's decision, he's far more reasonable about trying to argue against it, and less scornful about the military.


Added DiffLines:

* SoundtrackDissonance: The OVA uses peppy, cheesy '80s pop music during two separate bar brawls, among other things.

Adaptation decay only accepts in-universe examples.


In 1988, the anime studio {{Sunrise}} produced an unauthorized 6-episode ''Starship Troopers'' {{OVA}}. Although the series was widely considered to be more faithful to the novel than the Verhoeven movie, and devoted much more time to Rico's training than to the BugWar, it still showed clear signs of AdaptationDecay. One thing everyone agrees on about this version: the PoweredArmor is there, and it is ''awesome''.
