** Noted in the dub commentary, when the ADR director was first assigned the show for dubbing, he wasn't that impressed at first. The strength of the characterizations and the fun way they build upon each other won him over by episode four.

-->'''Eila:''' Sanya? ... Sanya, huh? hmm... ah, sorry. Thinking of Sanya sort of... makes my heart ache. I wonder why? ...eh? Her breasts? Sanya's!? What the hell are you looking at!? I wouldn't talk about that, idiot!
**** Another case was, when her dousing rods led her to Sanya's ass rather than to the Neuroi bug.

** Well, she is based off of WWI Italian pilot Arturo Ferrarin. So it will be odd to see her in a WWII setting.
** Remember the age limit! She can fly alright but she surely can't deploy a shield.
