| 1 | * GodCreatedCanonForeigner: Several original characters who made their first appearances in anime were designed by original author Masami Yuuki, such as Hikawa in the OVA, Shyamalan and Sayaka Nakasugi in ''Decode'' season 1. All three of them joined the original manga's run much later, technically became the example of CanonImmigrant. |
| 2 | * KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Funimation lost the license for ''Decode'' in late 2016, meaning it can no longer stream the series or sell the [=DVDs=]. Likewise, the collapse of Central Park Media means the OVA is out of print, too. |
| 3 | * NoExportForYou: To this day, the original manga, ''Birdy the Mighty II'', and ''II''[='=]s followup ''Evolution'' were never localized out of Japan. A FanTranslation a decade in the making is why people outside of that country are able to read it, albeit only in English. |
| 4 | * NoBudget: A borderline case. Second season budget was significantly affected with the commercial failure of the first one, with a lot of cutting corner techniques applied to compensate. The artstyle is much more simplified, with infamously sketchy episodes 7 and 12 (the very ''final'' one) and regular lapses in animation all around entire season, with only simple static cues suggesting actual action. Those lapses are extremely jarring when compared with fluid and detailed animation of the first season. |
| 5 | * PlayingAgainstType: For both Creator/KenichiSuzumura and Creator/ToddHaberkorn, their respective role as Satyajit Shyamalan, a villainous SmugSnake plotting mass genocide. Although for the latter, he's started playing roles in the style of Shyamalan more often since moving to L.A. |
| 6 | * RoleReprise: ''Decode'' features Mako Hyōdō reprising her role from the OVA series as [[BigBad Christella Revi]]. |
| 7 | * TroubledProduction: ''Evolution'' evidently went through a case of this nearing the end of its publication history. When it finished serialization, it ended on a non-ending and the publishers apologized. An epilogue was published later that year, resolving the main plot, but it still left many subplots unresolved. For what it's worth, Masami Yuki does take questions on Twitter regarding the fates of several characters left hanging. |
