Trivia / When Supernatural Battles Became Commonplace

• Adaptation First: In America, the anime was released prior to the Light Novel it was based on.
• Late Export for You: The light novel series started in 2012, but wasn't licensed in North America until nine years later. Averted with the anime adaptation, which was simulcast in North America by Crunchyroll.
• One-Take Wonder: In Episode 7, not only was Hatoko's infamous rant done entirely in one take, but Hatoko's VA, Saori Hayami, pulled it off on the very first take as well. Given the toll it took, she had to go home to rest her voice after that.
• Playing Against Type: Nobuhiko Okamoto is no stranger to Hot-Blooded, but harem protagonists are not exactly his forte.
