2* ChildrenVoicingChildren: Creator/DaisukeNamikawa (Alfred) was thirteen years old at the time of the first OVA's release.
3* CrossDressingVoices: The English dub, however, has Al voiced by a woman, Creator/BrianneSiddall.
4* HeAlsoDid: This OVA has the same director (Fumihiko Takayama) as the 1982 movie version of ''Anime/TheWizardOfOz'', which Takayama made when he was at Creator/{{Topcraft}}. And perhaps it's no coincidence that this OVA also has a character named Dorothy.
5* MilestoneCelebration: Created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}''. Also notably, it was the first Gundam anime to ''not'' be directed by Creator/YoshiyukiTomino.
6* TheOtherDarrin: In the few games when the plot from this [=OVAs=] appears (like ''VideoGame/SDGundamGGeneration'') Alfred is voiced by Creator/KumikoWatanabe, since his original voice actor (Creator/DaisukeNamikawa) has become too old to reprise that role. This is HilariousInHindsight since Watanabe married Creator/KoujiTsujitani, who voices Bernie.
7* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Reportedly, the original plan for the OAV had a doubly tragic conclusion with both Bernie and Christina to be killed off. In the end, Chris was spared.
8* YouSoundFamiliar:
9** Steiner Hardy's voice actor Creator/YosukeAkimoto previously had a minor role as the captain of the ''Musaka'' in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack''.
10** Creator/KojiTotani (Commander Killing) voiced minor roles in the first three ''Gundam'' TV series set in the Universal Century.
