History Trivia / InfiniteStratos

* FakeBrit: American VA BrittneyKarbowski as [[TheOjou Cecilia Alcott]].

** In the dub, American Tiffany Grant voices the German Laura Bodewig
** Also from the dub, Shannon Emerick as the French Charlotte Dunois and the German Clarissa Harfouch.

*** Meanwhile the dub, it's apparently changed to resemble [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion another]] eyepatch-wearing TykeBomb.

* FakeNationality: Americans Tiffany Grant as the German Laura Bodewig and Shannon Emerick as the French Charlotte Dunois.

* ActingForTwo: In the English dub, Chifuyu & Madoka are both played by Creator/LuciChristian. [[spoiler: It's almost certainly due to the fact that Madoka looks like a slightly younger Chifuyu.]]

* TheOtherDarrin: Not for the voice actors, but for the illustrators. Okiura has been I.S's illustrator for the first seven volumes. From volume 8 onwards (as well as reprints), CHOCO replaces Okiura as illustrator as part of the author switching publishing companies.

* FakeBrit: American VA BrittneyKarbowski as [[TheOjou Cecilia Alcott]]

* NoExportForYou: Averted with the anime series (both Season 1 and Season 2).

** Averted for now. Go [[https://daupao.wordpress.com/2014/10/25/infinite-stratos-volume-9-translation/ here]].

** The following instances involving Ichika is this trope in relation to [[Main/KoukiUchiyama his seiyuu's]] role as the main character of ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'': the predominantly-white motif of his IS (and which name translates as "Type-White") as to the titular mech; his duel against Rin, posing and [[http://i56.tinypic.com/2vxixkj.jpg charging similar to the titular mech]]; and the OutOfClothesExperience scene with Houki in Season 1 Episode 11, which is based on the scene from Episode 3.

* NoExportForYou: So far, only the 1st season of the anime was released outside of Japan. The licensing status of the second season may or may not be licensed, but considering the intensely negative reaction to it among the Western fanbase, it's quite possible that it won't. Meanwhile, as for the novels, while there was a group that fan translated them up to Volume 8, the translating group itself was becoming quite irritated at the story's pacing and incessant fanservice, and as of now there are no active translators for Volume 9.

* BadExportForYou: The author had some fits with the publisher over allegedly unauthorized Chinese localization deal, causing the series to be put on hiatus for a few month.

*** And how the hell did [[Creator/AiKayano Saori]] [[Anime/GirlsUndPanzer Takebe]] end up as a black-haired AxCrazy BloodKnight working for Phantom Task?

*** And also in ''Manga/Nisekoi'' as Raku Ichijou and Kosaki Onodera, respectively.

*** The order in which they run, and subsequently their distance from Ichika, reflects the episode's focus and shows how close each member of the harem is to him... at least at the end of that episode.

** After Volume 7 was published in April 2011, the author apparently had some kind of dispute with his publishing company. The result was that Volume 8 didn't get published until April 2013. In June 2013, Yumizuru mentioned (in an author's note in the reboot manga's 1st chapter) that he was working on Volume 9, but it still has yet to be released.

** Both Orimura siblings are [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep Ven and Aqua]].
** KoukiUchiyama has another harem in ''Manga/BinbouGamiGa'', which includes Creator/KanaHanazawa's character (whose name is Ichi''ko'').
