History Trivia / CorrectorYui

* RelationshipVoiceActor:
** Creator/KaeAraki (Ai) and Creator/MichikoNeya (Ante) were Felicia and Hsien-Ko, respectively, in the ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' games.
** Creator/MakikoOhmoto (Yui) and Creator/KumikoWatanabe (Ecco) have been friends for a long time. Both of them performed together in other series such as ''Anime/ZoidsChaoticCentury'', ''Manga/SgtFrog'', and ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa''.
** Creator/KumikoWatanabe and Creator/HiroshiKamiya (Takeshi) became digital legendary warriors (Tomoki and Kouji, respectively) in ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''.
** Takashi Matsuyama (Synchro) and Creator/HirokiTakahashi (Control) ended up as villains in ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' (1999 anime).
** Creator/HirokiTakahashi & Creator/MichikoNeya are the human personas of Japan and Hungary in ''WebComic/HetaliaAxisPowers''.
** Both [[Creator/AkikoKimura Rescue]] and [[Creator/KumikoWatanabe Ecco]] were forced to fight against other -- the former as Rockman.EXE and the latter as operator of Iceman.EXE, Tohru Hikawa, in ''Anime/MegamanNTWarrior''.
** Creator/KotonoMitsuishi (Freeze) and Creator/KaeAraki were once mother and daughter in ''Anime/SailorMoon'', as Usagi and Chibi-Usa, respectively.
* TalkingToHimself:
** In the Japanese version, Grosser and Inukai share Creator/{{Mugihito}} as their voice actor, only to enforce the idea that Grosser was created as Inukai's own image and "voice". Takashi Matsuyama voices War Wolf and Synchro [[spoiler: even after the climax of the first season where it's revealed that War Wolf was Synchro all along]].
** In the LA dub this is much more common to find. Ecco and Reiko have the same dub actress (Creator/IsabelMartinon), but barely talk to each other in a scene. War Wolf and Grosser are another examples (both voiced by Miguel Ángel Ghigliazza), though their dub actor manages to sound different between one and another when both appear in the same scene.

** The anime had an official home media release on DVD by Creator/VizMedia in 2003. It's still possible to get some DVD copies at very low prices from secondhand sellers... however, only 18 episodes out of 52 were released and distributed in four single volumes. There are copies of all episodes from the Latinamerican Spanish and the Brazilian Portuguese dubs scattered around the net (they both used the English translated scripts for their dubs, if you are curious in taking a look), too. Don't count with any luck if you are looking for fansubs.

* AdaptationFirst: Keiko Okamoto's manga adaptation of the first season was published and released shortly before the anime was licensed in the U.S.

* BonusMaterial: Due to the Okamoto manga being published by NHK's publishing subsidiary, it contained some interviews done to the anime staff and part of the voice acting cast. One of the manga volumes also contained some character model sheets of the anime, as well. These weren't included in the [[BadExportForYou English edition]].

** Kia Asamiya's manga adaptation of the first season is also impossible to get around, and although scanlations of it exists (compared to ''Ver.2''), the last portion of the manga (the last 4-5 chapters) were never fan translated.

* ActorAllusion: In episode 33, [[spoiler:a virus-infected]] Control made the [[Anime/SailorMoon "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"]] pose to Freeze, who is voiced by Creator/KotonoMitsuishi.
* AnimeFirst: Conceived originally as an anime, it had two manga adaptations. The one done by Keiko Okamoto was released as a companion to the anime, while the other one drawn by [[Creator/KiaAsamiya Asamiya]] himself was serialized around the end of the first season.

** The anime had an official home release on DVD by Creator/VizMedia in 2004. If you search right, it's still possible to get some DVD's copies at very low prices from secondhand sellers... however, only 18 episodes out of 52 were released and distributed in four volumes. Of course, there are copies in the net of all the episodes from the Latinamerican dub, mostly (that used the English translated scripts for its dub), or the Brazilian Portuguese dub, too. Don't count with any luck if you are looking for fansubs, though... and if you're looking for uncropped versions of episodes 19-26, ''look hard''.
** There is Okamoto's manga adaptation. Creator/{{Tokyopop}} only released the first part of the manga and the volumes can still be obtainable from second hand sellers at very low prices. ''Corrector Yui Ver.2'', though...?

** While the series got a TV release in Latin America and Brazil in earlier 2000s, the United States didn't have the same chance. In a time where MagicalGirl series as ''Anime/CardCaptorSakura'' and ''Anime/SailorMoon'' were having a good reception with their audience, and the increase of the interest of the then new technologic elements and worlds that ''Film/TheMatrix'' explored, the series would have received a push in promotion, if it was aired in TV. Yui was also a middle school student who JumpedAtTheCall because she was [[OtakuSurrogate fan of the genre itself]] and would have been an ideal projection of younger viewers as well. It's unfortunate that even though Creator/VizMedia decided to release the series in DVD, they didn't even complete it, being stuck before the first season climax due to low sales.
** And these low sales didn't affect the anime release only, but the Okamoto's manga adaptation release, too. Creator/{{Tokyopop}} gave up the license not so long after publishing the last volume of the first series. There's no way to get ''Corrector Yui Ver.2'' if you don't give a try in searching at Japanese auction sites. Same is also applied to Asamiya's adaptation.

** [[Creator/KaeAraki Ai Shinozaki]] and [[Creator/MichikoNeya Ante]] are [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Felicia and Hsien-Ko]].
** [[Creator/KotonoMitsuishi Freeze]] and [[Creator/KaeAraki Ai Shinozaki]] were once [[Anime/SailorMoon mother and daughter]].

** Creator/KumikoWatanabe and Creator/HiroshiKamiya became digital legendary warriors in ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''.
** Both [[Creator/AkikoKimura Rescue]] and [[Creator/KumikoWatanabe Ecco]] were forced to fight against other- the former as [[Anime/MegamanNTWarrior Rockman.EXE]] and the latter as operator of Iceman.EXE, Tohru Hikawa.
** Takashi Matsuyama and Creator/HirokiTakahashi ended up as villains in ''Anime/HunterXHunter''.
** Creator/HirokiTakahashi & Creator/MichikoNeya are [[Manga/AxisPowersHetalia Japan & Hungary]].

War Wolf and Grosser are another examples, though their dub actor manages to sound different between one and another when both appear in the same scene.
** In the Japanese version, Grosser and Inukai share Creator/{{Mugihito}} as their voice actor, only to force that Grosser was created as Inukai's own image and "voice". Takashi Matsuyama voices War Wolf and Synchro [[spoiler: even after the climax of the first season where it's revealed that War Wolf was Synchro all along]].

** In one of the volumes of Asamiya's manga, the anime series planner commented about some plots that were cut due to some issues they were having when working in the animation, especially involving some ideas for networks, such as episodes based on a Mystery Net, an Arabian Net, a net based on Yui's Four Panel Theater, and a Future Net that would have involved a 'Game of Life' simulation.
** Apparently, back in the day, Creator/VizMedia acquired the Kia Asamiya's manga rights to publish it in America.

** Imagine this show's potiential popularity if it would have been aired on ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'' back in the [[TurnOfTheMillennium early 2000's]]. Key Words: "[[NoExportForYou would have been]]".

* ActorAllusion: In episode 33, [[spoiler:a virus-infected]] Control directed the [[Anime/SailorMoon "In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"]] pose to Freeze, who is voiced by Creator/KotonoMitsuishi.

** The Japanese version, however, applies FridgeBrilliance cases. Grosser and Inukai share Creator/{{Mugihito}} as their voice actor, when the viewer finds out that Inukai created Grosser at his own image - he would find him wherever he was because he was thinking alike as his ''own'' creator.Takashi Matsuyama started playing as War Wolf in the whole series... [[spoiler: until the climax of the season happens, and Synchro starts talking to him via a prerecorded message to reveal he was War Wolf all along]].

** And there is Okamoto's manga adaptation. Creator/{{Tokyopop}} only released the first part of the manga and the volumes can still be obtainable from second hand sellers at very low prices. ''Corrector Yui Ver.2'', though...?

* PortmanteauSeriesNickname: The Japanese fandom often abbreviates "Corrector Yui" (''Korekuto Yui'') as "[=KoreYui=]".

** The Japanese version, however, applies FridgeBrilliance and FridgeLogic cases. Grosser and Inukai share Creator/{{Mugihito}} as their voice actor, when the viewer finds out that Inukai created Grosser at his own image - he would find him wherever he was because he was thinking alike as his ''own'' creator. FridgeLogic happens when Takashi Matsuyama started playing as War Wolf in the whole series... [[spoiler: until the climax of the season happens, and Synchro starts talking to him via a prerecorded message to reveal he was War Wolf all along]].

** Yui is voiced by MakikoOhmoto.

** MakikoOhmoto and Creator/KumikoWatanabe are friends. Both of them played roles together in ''Franchise/{{Zoids}}'', ''Manga/SgtFrog'' and ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'', and others.

Don't count with luck if you are looking for fansubs, though.

** Meanwhile the series at least got a quite reception in Latin America and Brazil by the time (however, that depends on whom you ask) in earlier 2000s on TV, the same couldn't be applied to the USA. The anime could have worked so well on TV, being in that time that anime series like ''Anime/CardCaptorSakura'' or ''Anime/SailorMoon'' were having a good reception and having it mixed with the then also recent elements of technology exposed in media like Film/TheMatrix could also have helped. Yui, being a girl who JumpedAtTheCall because she wanted to be a MagicalGirl since she was a [[OtakuSurrogate fan of the genre itself]]. Although Creator/VizMedia announced at the time that they were releasing the series, they just ended up releasing 18 out of 52 episodes in DVD, due to low sales.

** MakikoOhmoto and Creator/KumikoWatanabe are friends. Both of them played roles together in ''Franchise/{{Zoids}}'', ''Manga/SgtFrog'' and ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'': ''Anime/RightBackAtYa'', and others.

** In one of the volumes of Asamiya's manga, the anime series planner commented about some plots that were cut due to some issues they were having when working in the animation, especially involving some ideas for networks, such as episodes based in a Mystery Net, an Arabian Net, a net based on Yui's Four Panel Theater, and a Future Net that would have involved a 'Game of Life' simulation.

** HirokiTakahashi is Control and Ante is Creator/MichikoNeya.

** YukiKaida is Feena and also sings the Whales' Song.

*** It's a bit funny when you think that Control in the Space/RPG net, Shadowcat is an homage to [[SpacePirateCaptainHarlock Captain Harlock]], when his dub actor made later an AlternateContinuity Harlock in GunFrontier.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Sort of... averted? The anime did have an official release on DVD by Creator/VizMedia almost a decade ago... and the DVD's can still be obtainable at very low prices from secondhand sellers... however, only 18 episodes (divided in 4 volumes) out of 52 were released. Of course, there are copies in the net of all the episodes... from Latinamerican dub, mostly (that used the English translation as a base from dubbing), or Brazilian... and probable with the original audio even... however there are no fansubs either...
** The manga is another case too. Although the manga did have few sales, the TokyoPop translation is so-so and since they lost the license sometime ago WAY before closing down their American part of the company, and the five volumes of the manga can be found at almost 50 cents each (also, secondhand sellers)... there is no way legally speaking to get the second series' manga by Okamoto... Or even the 2 volumes from Asamiya's vision (that luckily only 7 chapters were scanlated... in 2010...)...
* NamesToKnowInAnime: Besides the fact that some of the seiyuu cast started to be more known later (such as Creator/HiroshiKamiya) or were more known by 1999, KenjiKawai is the composer of the soundtrack of the anime.
* NoExportForYou: Related to the KeepCirculatingTheTapes example, meanwhile the series at least got a quite reception in Latin America and Brazil by the time (however that depends on whom you ask) in earlier 2000s on TV, the same couldn't be applied to the USA. The anime could have worked so well on TV, being in that time that anime series like ''Anime/CardCaptorSakura'' or ''Anime/SailorMoon'' were having a good reception and having it mixed with the then also recent elements of technology exposed in media like Film/TheMatrix could also have helped. Yui, being a girl who JumpedAtTheCall because she wanted to be a MagicalGirl since she was a [[OtakuSurrogate fan of the genre itself]]. However, although Creator/VizMedia announced that they were releasing the series and even announced that they had the rights to publish the Asamiya version of the manga (because they also published the Manga/SteamDetectives manga and it quite also had a nice reception), they just released 18 out of 52 episodes in DVD.
** And then, again, the Okamoto manga suffered a bit of this too. Though fans mostly recall the manga rather than the anime, Tokyopop didn't even tried to release the second series of it (because of low sales) and it is quite hard to look around on sites to buy it.

** [[Creator/KotonoMitsuishi Freeze]] and [[Creator/KaeAraki Ai Shinozaki]] were once [[Anime/SailorMoon mother and daughter]], for a brief time even Araki was ''Anime/SailorMoon''.
** HirokiTakahashi, YukiKaida & Creator/MichikoNeya are [[Manga/{{Axis Powers Hetalia}} Japan, China & Hungary]].
*** Without mentioning that Takahashi & Kaida are also teammates in [[Manga/{{ThePrinceOfTennis}} Seigaku]].
* TalkingToHimself: In the LA dub this is a bit common. Eco and Reiko has the same dub actress, but barely talks to each other in scene. War Wolf and Grosser is another example, however the dub actor manages to sound different between one and another when both appear in the same scene. BUT, the two main cases with FridgeBrilliance of this are Grosser and Inukai, and Synchro and War Wolf in the Japanese version.
** Creator/{{Mugihito}}'s acting as Inukai and Grosser is synbolic since Inukai made Grosser at his own image and mind. No matter where he hides, Grosser would find Inukai... leading then to an HeroicSacrifice of the father of [=ComNet=] and the Correctors.
** Takashi Matsuyama started as War Wolf in the series. [[spoiler: It is until almost the end of the season when you find out that Synchro is also War Wolf... and in fact, you listen how War Wolf is fighting to do not let Synchro returns to his own mind]].

** In one of the columns of opinion in Kia Asamiya's special manga, the anime series planner commented about ideas for plots that were cut due to some issues they were having, especially involving nets as a Mystery Net, and Arabian Net, a net based in the Yui's Four Panel Theater and a Future Net involving a 'Game of Life'.
** Apparently, back in the day, Viz Media acquired the Kia Asamiya's manga rights to publish it in America.
