* AdaptationDisplacement: Almost nobody knows the story is based off of a six-volume light novel series. This is partly because it took 8 years after the movie for the novels to get licensed for English release by a very small, niche company ([[https://thebbb.net/ Breakthrough Bandwagon Books]]) that even most avid light novel readers aren't familiar with precisely because it ''doesn't'' specialize in light novels: BBB is focused on general Japanese literature. In addition, BBB is a Japan-only based company founded by Japanese people, and translation work was pretty slow-going (almost 6 years to translate all 6 books) because it was done by a native Japanese translator (the rest of the LN industry's translation work is done by foreigners, the overwhelming majority of which have English as a first language).

* DevelopmentHell: Creator/MamoruOshii and his crew traveled to Ireland and Poland where the movie is set to photograph not only the scenery or buildings but also radiators, electric sockets and window frames to get everything to look authentic.
