* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: In its home country of Japan, the OVA is mostly a footnote in GONZO's history and left no noticeable footprint, being devoid of any major fanbase, merchandise, or legacy. In the US, due to airing on Creator/{{Toonami}} at the peak of its popularity, the OVA is fondly remembered by millenials.

The "West" is not the U.S as a whole. The show appeared in the U.S. at Toonami and on other countries on different networks.

* AdaptationDisplacement: While the anime is decently well-known in the west due to premiering on Creator/{{Toonami}} during its prime with a sizable marketing push, the manga is essentially forgotten, never translated, and hard to find information on, to the point that even the English language version of its Wikipedia article is almost entirely about the anime adaptation.

** Mutio is a MinionWithAnFInEvil that works for a PsychopathicManchild DarthVaderClone with daddy issues. Then she soon discovers one of her comrades was killed in action, is subsequently given a hard time by one of her superiors, pulls a MookFaceTurn, saves the life of a man that is supposed to be her sworn enemy, and seemingly falls in love with a protagonist that used to make a living as a scavenger before being flung into a war that they wanted no part of, and then eventually goes back to confront her former superior that once gave her a hard time. Sounds an awful lot like [[Film/TheForceAwakens Finn]], doesn't it?

* FanNickname: The CatGirl that recites poetry for Zorndyke is often referred to by fans as "Amonyushuu". This is because of a mishearing from a scene where Zorndyke asks her about "The Manyoshu", which is the poem that the girl reads throughout the anime. Officially, the cat-girl's name is "Daughter of the Beast".

** Zorndyke, the antagonist of this story, is a genocidal WellIntentionedExtremist with philosophical views on his work and genuinely believes he is doing the right thing. His plan is to destroy a significant portion of the world's population with the intent to make it a better place to live in for those that are left. He has two children: One is a daughter (the unnamed CatGirl) that [[ParentalFavoritism he loves and treats with the utmost respect]], while the other (Verg) is an angry, murderous cyborg that wants their father to give them the same love and respect, but isn't getting any of it due to their father constantly underestimating their abilities. Twenty years after this anime aired, [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar we would see this same character dynamic again]].

The human who was the first to try reaching out to Zorndyke for a peaceful solution barely has any screentime, doesn't even accompany Hayami and Kino on their mission to confront Zorndyke, and the fact that he was mutated into a chimera instead of being outright killed is unexplained and would certainly have warranted a sub-plot of its own...had the OVA been more than four episodes long, that is.
