* StarDerailingRole: Surprisingly ''averted like hell'' in the Latin American Spanish dub, if you take into account how awful that dub was. Although some actors went into voicing secondary roles afterwards, others like Keitaro's Ricardo Bautista managed to improve a lot, being his more outstandish performance voicing Ayato Sakamaki in the Latin American dub of ''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers'' and Ty Rux in ''WesternAnimation/DinoTrux''. It helped a lot the series was never re-run again and that the series was broadcasted at late hours, limiting the damage on the voice actors' reputations.

* AmateurCast: The Mexican Spanish dub's cast was full of amateur actors, due to the fact the dub was an innocent victim of a voice actor strike caused by WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons's Mexican voice actors, forcing the studio to rely on this. The only veterans at the time were Naru (Gaby Ugarte), Mei (Georgina "Gina" Sánchez) and Mutsumi's (Liliana Barba) voice actors, and it shows.

* StarDerailingRole: Surprisingly ''averted like hell'' in the Latin American Spanish dub, if you take into account how awful that dub was. Although some actors like Naru's one (Karla Vega, who eventually became an ADR Director) went into voicing secondary roles afterwards, others like Keitaro's Ricardo Bautista managed to improve a lot, being his more outstandish performance voicing Ayato Sakamaki in the Latin American dub of ''VisualNovel/DiabolikLovers'' and Ty Rux in ''WesternAnimation/DinoTrux''.

* NowWhichOneWasThatVoice: At the time of writing this, the identity of Kaolla Suu's Latin American Spanish voice actress remains a mystery. Considering how the dub turned out, we cannot blame her to keep her identity as a secret.

** According with Akamatsu, Shinobu was the character who changed most during the early drafts. She had a cute look, a serious personality, always angry and initially hated Keitaro.
** Kaolla was know only as "the foreigner" and was older.

** The original Naru was called Midori and something of a mix between Mutsume and the current Naru, who meets Keitaro by falling through the ceiling and landing in his bed. This actually happens to Mutsume in the manga, though that's much later on.
