Book

  • Bad Export for You: Salve Roma! had an... unfortunate transition into English. Whoever was doing the translating/editing, while linguistically proficient, did not account for how sentences flow in English. This results in sentences that should have been separate being mashed together, and vice versa. Dialog also quite curiously used greater- and less-than marks (these things: < >) instead of quotation marks. This is something seen in webcomics' speech bubbles to signify that a character is in fact speaking a different language from the rest of the cast, so that might have been the aim here, but all the characters are speaking the same language. Plus in the case of literature it just looks bizarre.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: As detailed below, the entire series was dropped by the publisher due to some controversial statements, even being delisted from amazon. This is notably bad for the English version of Salve Roma!, which was only available digitally.
  • No Export for You:
    • Initially, apart from the first 2 books, the Felidae series had not been translated and released in the U.S. and the English editions of those two were out of print for a long time. Now they are available in e-book form (or not, see above), along with the fifth book, Salve Roma!, which has been translated. So perhaps the other installments will eventually be released in English as well.
    • As of late 2015, this applies to all the works of Pirincci inside Germany as well; After the author held an extremely Islamophobic speech at a Pegida rally (too radical even for Pegida, apparently), his publishers permanently distanced themselves from him and his works, discontinuing sales.

Film

  • International Coproduction: The animation for the film was split between companies in Denmark, Canada, Ireland, South Korea and Taiwannote 
  • No Export for You: The movie falls under this trope too, aside from brief releases in Australia, Mexico and Russia. A DVD release for the UK and North America was reportedly planned, but eventually cancelled.
    • The film finally see an American home video release through Deaf Crocodile in 2024, with an Ultra HD Blu-ray and standard Blu-ray release.
  • Uncredited Role: The English dub actors were uncredited.
