* EarWorm: The opening theme of the same name, performed by Anri. Featuring an extremely energetic beat and catchy tune (as well as a heaping dose of GratuitousEnglish), the song became very popular at {{Karaoke Box}}es and bars alike and is very frequently requested by the patrons of said establishments. Heck, as noted below, the song is even more well-known than the Anime it came from!

* ShockingSwerve: Averted. The original planned ending was to reveal that [[spoiler:General was EvilAllAlong, and he suffocates Amanda by stealing her breath,]] which would have turned his entire arc into a nonsensical ShootTheShaggyDog story packed with FridgeLogic ([[spoiler:he follows a telepathic plea for help halfway across the country and battles an evil troll to protect a little girl, just so he could kill the kid himself?]]). Thankfully, this didn't make it into the finished film.
