History Trivia / RoyalSpaceForceTheWingsOfHonneamise

* CoversAlwaysLie: Due to Bandai’s involvement and uncertainty over the film’s tone and marketability, advertisements for the film would outright lie about the film’s general plot and tone, with heavy focus on fantastical elements which don’t actually show up in the movie. This included placing heavy focus on the standing stones, that appear very briefly in the film and that have no impact on the plot, in trailers and claiming that it has the ability to glow due to a telepathic bond of love between Shirotsugh and Riquinni. Other acts included commissioning character designer Yoshiyuki Sadamoto to draw promotional art featuring a giant bug creature destroying a city and claiming the RSF was founded to search for a mythical book to bring peace to Honnêamise, in the film’s press kit. Despite all this, the film still bombed hard

* AcclaimedFlop: The movie opened to good reviews and even won an award, but it was such a notorious box office failure that, combined with the similar domestic bombing of ''Manga/{{Akira}}'' the following year (itself also a case of this trope), it threatened to put the entire anime industry as a whole in serious jeopardy, had ''AKIRA'' not turned out to be [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff such a massive success overseas]].

* DevelopmentHell: In TheNineties, Gainax announced that it was working on a SpiritualSuccessor to ''Honnêamise'' called ''Uru in Blue''. (They chose not to make a direct sequel because [[Creator/BandaiEntertainment Bandai Visual]], who had financed ''Honnêamise'', owned half the property.) Some very impressive production artwork was released to the public, but ''Uru in Blue'' was never completed. They (especially Gainax's lead artist, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto) still professed their desire to eventually complete it, though.
