* RoleReprisal: Funimation's English dub of the series saw the return of almost the entire dub cast of the games. While a couple of VAs already worked with Funi ([[Creator/PatrickSeitz Ragna]] and [[Creator/TravisWillingham Relius]], namely), most of the voice cast work in LA, making this an impressive feat on Funimation's part.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: In the games, Ragna [[spoiler: left Hazama for dead]] because of the [[spoiler: life link he had with Noel]], meaning he couldn't die anyway, something Ragna acknowledges. Since no such thing is even mentioned in the anime, Ragna's decision makes no type of of sense.

** CompressedAdaptation: In contrast, the two-and-a-half episodes devoted to ''Calamity Trigger'' ignore everything that isn't to do with the central Ragna plot. The ''Continuum Shift'' part also had plenty of content that wasn't related to Ragna or Noel cut, even adding in filler to make up for the lack of content those two provided.

** Lambda's joke end is canon. However, it takes place between Lambda and Ragna, instead of Lambda and Makoto. [[spoiler:The tartar also dies before Lambda reaches Kokonoe's lab. This also explains why Lambda sacrificed herself for Ragna, instead of using a HandWave and saying Nu did it.]]

She never drank his coffee either, but constantly requested he make her some.]]

** Funnily enough, this is Inverted in regards to [[LittleMissBeastly Makoto Nanaya]]. In the game she debuts in, while she does get a little screentime, she ultimately doesn't have much of an impact on the plot. In the anime, she's actively working to protect Noel from Hazama.(The former goes after the latter in the games, despite warnings not to.)

* OutOfFocus: The anime mainly focuses on Ragna, Jin, and Noel's routes from the first two games, so as a result nearly every other character is kinda pushed to the side with little to no info from their own routes. It might justified with there being just too much to cover in only 12 episodes however.
