Trivia / Märchen Mädchen

• Died During Production: The author of the original books died before the first one was even published (forcing StoryWorks to finished them) and two years before the anime aired.
• Troubled Production: When the anime aired, a lot of people complained about the animation quality. So much so that, after episode 8 aired, Hoods Entertainment announced that they would take a break from airing Episode 9 to improve the quality of the anime, which took them 2 weeks. The result? The quality took an amazing drop, ranging from stilted faces to awkward animations to even the voices not matching the characters. An explanation followed shortly after, which can be summed up as "the production schedule was so bad, everyone gave up." Sadly as a result, the last two episodes wouldn't air for another year, which also gave them some time to redo some of the other episodes.
