Trivia / Servamp

• All-Star Cast: The names are big enough in the main roles (Takuma Terashima, Yūki Kaji, Tatsuhisa Suzuki, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Hiro Shimono, Yuki Ono, Nobunaga Shimazaki, and Ryōhei Kimura, among others), but the secondary cast features giants like Hiroshi Kamiya, Daisuke Ono, Jun'ichi Suwabe, and Ami Koshimizu.
• Ascended Fanon: While Word of God called Sakuya a yandere once, fandom tends to exaggerate that trait, portraying him as a stalker (which he isn't in canon; the only times he spies on Mahiru Tsubaki sent him). Fanon stalker Sakuya made it into a strip in Sleepy Life of Servamp, albeit Played for Laughs.
• Cross-Dressing Voices: Played straight in the English dub where Michelle Rojas voiced Old Child, but averted in the original Japanese version where he is voiced by Ayumu Murase.
• The Danza: Hiroshi Kamiya as Tsurugi Kamiya.
• Playing Against Type:
  • Yoshitsugu Matsuoka is usually known for playing fairly normal, down-to-earth Nice Guy characters. Berukia is anything but.
  • While Yūki Kaji has played lazy characters before, he's Playing Against Type in terms of vocal range - Kuro sounds deeper and older than most of his other roles.
  • Most of Nobunaga Shimazaki's better-known roles are either nice guys or at least The Stoic. Licht? Not really.
• She Also Did: Before creating Servamp, Strike Tanaka used to create yaoi manga under a different name. The duo also used to draw doujinshi of other popular series.
• What Could Have Been: The Sleepy Life of Servamp Slice of Life Spin-Off revealed some of the characters' original designs. Mahiru originally had a cuter, more meek personality, Sakuya was missing his side curl but wearing a lot more accessories, and Kuro looked leagues more like a stereotypical vampire, had a different personality (and was capable of smiling), and looked prettier.
