* If you pause to read the list of people who solved the initial encryption for Love Machine, you'll find quite a few real-world notable mathematicians.
** And quite a few European [[UsefulNotes/AssociationFootball footballers]] such as Robin Van Persie and Andrei Arshavin (I have no idea why).
* If you also pause during the combats in the virtual battleground (in particular right after Kazuma's first defeat, which has a good still image) you can see the tournament inscription ends with "...FOR THE GLORY OF THE INTERNETS".

* The movie was aired on Creator/{{Toonami}} as part of a Month of Movies event on December 2013. The following year, it was reaired as part of Month of Movies December 2014 due to budgetary issues on the part of Toonami.

* HeyItsThatVoice: Creator/{{Funimation}}'s dub pulled out an all-star cast for the film.
** Apparently when [[Creator/ToddHaberkorn Watanuki]] isn't being [[Creator/ColleenClinkenbeard Yuuko's]] slave, he's doing service on OZ with [[Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas Dean Venture]]
** [[Creator/MonicaRial May Chang]] really likes baseball. And while we're on ''[[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]'', this troper thinks that [[Creator/MaxeyWhitehead Kazuma Ikezawa]] sounds like some one who might have [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist spent a lot of time in a suit of an armor.]] And [[Creator/CaitlinGlass Nana Jinnouchi]] apparently has a hidden skill in [[SchizoTech Automail Mechanics.]]
** [[Manga/SoulEater Crona]] [[MegatonPunch FALCON-PUNCHED]] Love Machine. Amazing~!!!!
** And yet AGAIN with FMA, [[AnastasiaMunoz Gracia Hughes]] as Noriko Jinnouchi. [[BarryYandell Doctor Mansaku Jinnouchi]] was also [[Manga/FullMetalAlchemist Yuki]]. Apparently xxxHoLic and Fullmetal Alchemist was a theme in choosing VAs for the dub.
*** Rather minor one but worth noting that the kid with the bowl haricut is [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Pride]]
** Natsuki's [[Creator/BrinaPalencia English voice]] sounds like [[LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf Holo]] and [[Manga/{{Claymore}} Priscilla]].
*** Which is fitting that Uncle Wabisuke is also [[LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf Kraft Lawrence]].
*** And he [[Manga/InitialD drives a white Mazda RX-7...]]
*** Natsuki looks ''and'' sounds a lot like [[Manga/BirdyTheMighty Nakasugi]].
*** Not to mention, [[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia France]] lied about looking at women with big boobs
*** Or alternatively if [[VideoGame/{{Borderlands}} Moxxi]] had a family that genuinely cared for her and didn't see her as a broodmare/whore.
** Apparently [[Manga/SoulEater Dr. Stein]] does military work in his spare time...
** Not to mention [[Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia Germany]] works for the Fire Department~!
** Watching the dubs for ''[[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Evangelion 2.22]]'' and ''Summer Wars'' in the same day is an... interesting experience, especially when you realize that both films have a suave, unkempt character of dubious political allegiance who not only [[YoshiyukiSadamoto look]], but now [[Creator/JMichaelTatum sound]] extremely similar. Not to mention [[Creator/BrinaPalencia Rei]] seems a lot more chipper all of a sudden, and Listen closely and you might hear [[Creator/TrinaNishimura Mari]] somewhere in the background too.
** [[Manga/YuYuHakusho Hiei]] and [[Manga/BlackBloodBrothers Jiro]] were in there somewhere as well.
** And in the Italian dub, Natsuki is [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the faithful student of Princess Celestia]].
*** Which becomes HilariousInHindsight for Italian fans because both characters [[spoiler: get an upgrade from a certain guardian]].
