  • All-Star Cast: The movie had a pretty impressive cast list with some of the top seiyuu of the 80's voicing in this, the seiyuu in question being: Akira Kamiya, Toshio Furukawa, Tesshō Genda, Norio Wakamoto, Hirotaka Suzuoki, Hideyuki Tanaka, TARAKO, Tsutomu Kashiwakura, and the not quite as well known, but still notable, Kōzō Shioya.
    • The English dub is no slouch in this department either, we have Wendee Lee, Steve Blum note , David Hayter note , Dorothy Elias-Fahn note , and Paul St. Peter note  with some additional voices by Mona Marshall note  and Daran Norris note , of course with this being a non-union dub, with the exception of Wendee Lee, they're all credited under different names.
  • Celebrity Voice Actor: In the movie, Frol is voiced by singer and actress Michiko Kawai, otherwise known as Aurora Teruko.
  • No Export for You: The Darker and Edgier one-volume sequel manga (Zoku 11 nin Iru! - Higashi no Chihei Nishi no Towa, "Eastern Horizon, Western Eternity,") has never been officially translated into English.
    • As of 2021, this is averted, Denpa Books has announced that not only have they rescued the original, they've also licensed the sequel as well.
  • Playing Against Type: The English dub is this for Central Park Media, usually they would dub any anime they licensed in New York note , but for They Were 11! they hired Animaze/Magnitude 8 Post in Los Angeles to dub it, this would be one of the very few times they've hired LA based talent with the other few times being when they hired Bang Zoom! Entertainment to dub Nightwalker, the Weather Woman OVA and some cheesy erotic Japanese live action movies here and there. note 
  • Referenced by...: In episode 12 of Hyouka, Mayaka Ibara cosplays as Frol.
