Trivia / Recovery of an MMO Junkie

• Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Director Kazuyoshi Yaginuma, who was at first praised by fans for his work on the anime, was later condemned by those same fans in February 2018 when they discovered that he had been posting, retweeting, and liking antisemitic, pro-Hitler, and Holocaust-denying tweets and downplaying the atrocities Japan committed during World War II since joining Twitter in 2011. Signal.MD ultimately dropped him as a result.
• Sleeper Hit: Very few people knew anything about the anime or were familiar with the source material, yet it quickly became one of the most popular shows of the Fall 2017 Anime season.
