History Trivia / BlueCometSPTLayzner

* NoExportForYou: A particularly annoying example as Bandai Entertainment '''did''' license ''Layzner'' for America but received completely unusable master copies (damaged and [[{{Irony}} blue-tinted]]) from Sunrise. They asked for replacements but never got any before the license expired in 2005.

** The whole last quarter of the show has numerous pacing problems, sudden, out-of-the-blue character deaths, and severe animation and modelling problems that are almost certainly the result of the problems listed under ScrewedByTheNetwork. Fixed as well as it could be by the [=OVAs=], when they gave the show an actual ending, though they couldn't fix the pacing problems in the leadup to the finale.

* TooSoon: One of the reasons why the series was cancelled was how the second part [[spoiler: had Earth conquered and oppressed by a tyrannical and virulently racist Empire... whose actions were '''very''' similar to how UsefulNotes/ImperialJapan [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_under_Japanese_rule had treated Korea]] a few decades ago.]] ''{{Franchise/Gundam}}'' had been doing it for years with Zeon, but the difference is that ''Gundam'' was at least a ''little'' more subtle about it.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: The last few episodes' noticeable problems of pacing and the show's GainaxEnding are the result of near-continuous budget cuts and reductions in the number of episodes. The network justified these measures with declining ratings, which were in turn the direct result of putting it in the same time slot [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam as a Japanese cultural icon]] (among other reasons, like the one described below). Also, the main sponsor of the show (Sanyo) were involved in a scandal about defective products and had to scale down funding to fix the [[=PR=]] mess.

* OffModel:
** At times, the third OVA's visual couldn't decide whether Julia's hair was loose or kept in its iconic ponytail.
** Sometimes Ru-Kain goes from "gigantic but not super unrealistic" to "FREAKING HULKING GIANT".
** In the OAV's [[spoiler: Roanne seems to ''suddenly'' [[LargeAndInCharge grow several inches]] after his promotion, then is drawn back to his normal height when he returns to LaResistance.]]
