History Trivia / HisAndHerCircumstances

* TroubledProduction: The anime was plagued with Gainax's usual time and budgeting issues from the get-go, with numerous uses of LimitedAnimation and frequent recaps of the story's plot even early on. After the CreativeDifferences between Tsuda and Anno came to a head and Anno quit as director, the series spent its last seven or eight episodes almost literally spinning its wheels, unsure where to go or how to get there. This is why there are three {{Recap Episodes}} and one episode where all the characters are depicted as colorless paper cutouts instead of being fully animated. Although Sato tried getting the production back on track, it still wound up with NoEnding.

* CreativeDifferences: For the anime adaptation, [[http://web.archive.org/web/20031205021525/http://anime-tourist.com/article.php?sid=298 the manga's creator Masami Tsuda wanted a balance of the romance and comedy]] while director Creator/HideakiAnno wanted to emphasize the comedy more than the romance. The differences got so bad that Tsuda said she wanted Anno out, leading a disgruntled Anno to quit mid-series. Even though animation producer Hiroki Sato tried to rescue the show, it was still CutShort at the end of its only season.
* DisownedAdaptation: Masami Tsuda was ''very'' dissatisfied with how the anime adaptation turned out due to Gainax changing of several elements of her original manga and emphasizing the comedic aspects. When Tsuda demanded Anno be fired, he quit towards the end of the series.

* HostilityOnTheSet: When the anime was being produced, Hideaki Anno frequently clashed with Masami Tsuda over the changes to the latter's storylines. Anno was also frustrated with TV Tokyo's guidelines that were placed on the series due to the "[[Anime/PokemonTheOriginalSeries Electric Soldier Porygon]]" incident (which is why every episode begins with a message to watch the show in a well-lit room and to not sit too close to the screen, as the episode's infamous EpilepticFlashingLights scene caused seizures in Japanese children nation-wide). He eventually decided to quit mid-series after Tsuda demanded his dismissal.
