* CastingGag: Sahib Ashman, the bearded stocky leader of the Desert Dawn resistance group that we find Cagalli with, is voiced by Creator/MasashiHirose, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Ramba Ral himself]].

* WriterRevolt: Episode 16 (15 in the HD Remaster) implied Kira and Flay had sex the night before, causing controversy among Japanese parents and resulting in the directors getting punished. When the Special Edition (relevant content included in the HD Remaster too) was released, the show's staff made the implications Kira and Flay had sex ''more explicit'' than it had been in the original airing.
