** Numerous instances of drama involving artists, ranging from [[FanDumb fans being dicks]] (DYJ leaving the art community and social networks after fans accused him of hogging the alternate skin spots for Springfield and [=WA2000=]; he later came back to draw Team DEFY, but lays very low on social media), unfortunate circumstances (NIXOO being ''ran over by a car'' and still managing to finish [=HK416=]'s anniversary dress while in the hospital and the untimely passing of reisun [artist for [=StG=]-940] and [=DomotoLain=] [Type 92]), old rivalries heating up (Rei [artist for Lee-Enfield] quitting upon learning Nishihara [artist for Contender] was hired, due to Pixiv-related squabbles), plagiarism (SKY, the artist of Micro Uzi, [=ARX160=] and KS-23, being on the receiving end of a plagiarism case unrelated to ''Girls' Frontline'', which is a popular narrative for his dismissal), [[ItsAllAboutMe inflated egos]] (Kishiyo leaving in a huff after learning that Type 95's VA wouldn't be the one he wanted and being told to deal with it by Mica's higher-ups, with some accusations of [[OnlySixFaces Same Face Syndrome]] by Suisai [hypocritical considering he has similar issues] that aren't helped by how similar Kishiyo's later designs for ''Azur Lane'', particularly Choukai, are to his design for this game's Type 95), artists being [[{{Jerkass}} overall awful people]] (Horimori [artist for PPK] convincing a fan to let her stay at his place for a while, trashing the place before disappearing; Horimori claims however that said fan sweet-talked her into moving in before bumping into his girlfriend) to outright slander (Suisai claiming that Yuzhong hired his incompetent cousin as middle management and bought himself a Ferrari with company money, while the rest of the employees only got Starbucks gift cards due to said cousin running the company into the ground, which is refuted by other MICA Team staff). Some of these resulted in certain illustrators refusing to work, or being barred from working, on ''Girls' Frontline'' again.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: Due to many female voice actors in this game, it's not hard to know which ones are connected to different series:
** Micro-Uzi and Zas M21 are [[Anime/ValkyrieDriveMermaid Lady Lady]].
** Simonov and RFB are [[VideoGame/ValkyrieDriveBhikkhuni Rinka and Ranka Kagurazaka]].
** [=6P62=] and RFB are [[LightNovel/{{Haganai}} Yozora Mikazuki and Sena Kashiwazaki]].
** SKS and Mosin-Nagant are [[Anime/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls LOVE LAIKA]], while FAL and G28 are Mika and Rika Jougasaki.

** The Daewoo K7 submachine gun was due for introduction for the CN/TW/KR servers along with 4 other T-Dolls (Daewoo K5 pistol, CBJ-MS SMG, [=H&K XM8=], and Desert Tech MDR) in the middle of March 2018, and all 5 of these T-dolls had full art available and full profiles written up. However, the K7 was pulled at the very last minute following massive backlash from Korean players, and it wasn't about the art or anything stat-related. To elaborate, when her full profile and art were put up a few days prior, Korean players recognized the artist as having retweeted content posted by Korean pro-ultra-radical feminists, such as those from the infamous "Megalia" group, and their outrage and backlash practically forced MICA to take action and pull K7, out of fear that this ruckus would catch the unwanted attention of the Ministry Of Cultural Affairs in their native China and possibly lead to serious consequences if they intervened, until they can figure out exactly how to handle this debacle.

* NamesTheSame:
** Overlapping with BilingualBonus. The [[ThoseWackyNazis Iron Blood]] faction of ''VideoGame/AzurLane'' shares a name with [[AIIsACrapshoot Sangvis Ferri]]. In fact, both are written in exactly the same way in Chinese.
** Despite having the same name in English, Mac-10 is voiced by Adult visual novel voice actress Yui Ogura while M200 is voiced by anime voice actress Creator/YuiOgura.
** [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineRifles T-5000]] shares her designation with [[Film/TerminatorGenisys a Terminator model]].

* TalkingToHerself: The two Carcano sisters are both voiced by Creator/ReinaUeda.

* {{Blooper}}: At various points, M4's [=M4A1=] is badly animated that it appeared to be a bullpup rifle.

** Many T-Dolls, chiefly [=SMGs=], initially had what seem to be grenade skills of some sort, before they were altered and given new abilities. Their chibi sprites still have throwing animations as a holdover.
** [=AS Val=] originally had a grenade-launching ability similar to several other [=ARs=] on this page, though it was removed. The grenade-firing animations could still be found in her game files.

** [=UMP40=]'s spite has animations for a grenade throwing skill, suggesting she had one during development and was changed to her current ability at some point.

** In a Q&A with fans, the creators claim T-Dolls don't breathe yet some T-Dolls wear gas masks and during the game's story, and some of them have breathing problems when inhaling smoke or gas.

** When [=TMP=] was released, her description was [[GoodBadBugs glitched]] and she [[MadnessMantra repeated "commander commander commander..."]] in Simplified Chinese script (yes, even the Korean server had the repeating in Simplified Chinese), leading to fans speculating that she might be a {{Yandere}}. The developers themselves were aware of the glitch, and as a result, [[https://www.facebook.com/gf.txwy.tw/photos/a.365254697156779.1073741828.306546406360942/498681867147394/?type=3&theater they reposted a fanart]] from Twitter, with a comment:

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: [=Kar98k=], NTW-90, and [=StG=]-44 [[https://www.reddit.com/r/girlsfrontline/comments/o7pcko/due_to_the_ai_kayano_controversy_the_voices_of/ had their voiced lines scrubbed]] from the Chinese, Taiwanese and Korean versions of the game after Creator/AiKayano made comments relating to a trip to the Yasukuni area, infamous for its shrine (a shrine which reveres those who fought for Japan, including participants of the [[UsefulNotes/SecondSinoJapaneseWar Nanking Massacre and Unit 731]]) on Twitter in February 2021. Antis spun it into a visit to said shrine and before long there was an outrage.

** Numerous instances of drama involving artists, ranging from [[FanDumb fans being dicks]] (DYJ leaving the art community and social networks after fans accused him of hogging the alternate skin spots for Springfield and [=WA2000=]; he later came back to draw Team DEFY, but lays very low on social media), unfortunate circumstances (NIXOO being ''ran over by a car'' and still managing to finish [=HK416=]'s anniversary dress while in the hospital and the untimely passing of reisun [artist for [=StG=]-940] and [=DomotoLain=] [Type 92]) , old rivalries heating up (Rei [artist for Lee-Enfield] quitting upon learning Nishihara [artist for Contender] was hired, due to Pixiv-related squabbles), plagiarism (SKY, the artist of Micro Uzi, [=ARX160=] and KS-23, being on the receiving end of a plagiarism case unrelated to ''Girls' Frontline'', which is a popular narrative for his dismissial), [[ItsAllAboutMe inflated egos]] (Kishiyo leaving in a huff after learning that Type 95's VA wouldn't be the one he wanted and being told to deal with it by Mica's higher-ups, with some accusations of [[OnlySixFaces Same Face Syndrome]] by Suisai [hypocritical considering he has similar issues] that aren't helped by how similar Kishiyo's later designs for ''Azur Lane'', particularly Choukai, are to his design for this game's Type 95), artists being [[{{Jerkass}} overall awful people]] (Horimori [artist for PPK] convincing a fan to let her stay at his place for a while, trashing the place before disappearing; Horimori claims however that said fan sweet-talked her into moving in before bumping into his girlfriend) to outright slander (Suisai claiming that Yuzhong hired his incompetent cousin as middle management and bought himself a Ferrari with company money, while the rest of the employees only got Starbucks gift cards due to said cousin running the company into the ground, which is refuted by other MICA Team staff).

* WordOfGod: [[https://mobile.twitter.com/miharuya/status/1452348419385614338 According to Miharu]], the artist for the official manga, Gentiane was born in North Africa before moving to Ukraine when she was Six.

* PromotedFanboy: [=AC130=], the artist of the official [=4koma=], was just another fan artist until MICA Team got wind of it, although some changes were made from the original (namely, [=M1918 BAR=] [[https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/2669856 exclaiming]] [[Memes/KanColle "poi"]] at the end of a sentence just because she and Yuudachi both have hair flaps). The artist even has their own T-Doll, [[Characters/GirlsFrontlineHandguns GSh-18]], appropriately awarded when buying 5 volumes of the [=4koma=].

** Polarized Light was originally supposed to end on a FinalBoss to end all final bosses, [[spoiler:Elisa]]. Fan translated developer comments described her having skills that would've made her [[ThatOneBoss extremely hard]], like anti-gravity tiles that prevent some of the player's T-Dolls from doing anything, effectively removing them from combat temporarily. Unfortunately (or ''fortunately'', depending on your take of the event bosses of late and [[spoiler:Elisa]]'s aforementioned kit), because of [[UsefulNotes/CoronavirusDisease2019Pandemic the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak]], MICA Team had to scale down both the boss's battle and story arc quite a bit, rehashing the concept as a bog-standard boss in [[spoiler:Chapter 13]].
