Trivia / Ai Yori Aoshi

• Acting for Two: In the English dub:
  • Lia Sargent voices Miyabi Kagurazaki and Kumi Honjo (Kaoru's mother) as well as some minor characters.
  • Lex Lang voices Suzuki as well as Akiko's father and some minor characters.
  • Kirk Thornton voices Sato and Ruka Saionji, in addition to some one-off characters.
• Bonus Episode: Thirteen episodes in "Enishi" if you count the Christmas Episode. Arguably more of an Omake.
• Channel Hop:
  • The first season ran on Fuji TV and Enishi aired on independent television stations in the Kanto area.
  • The Japanese home media rights are currently owned by NBCUniversal due to their purchase of Pioneer/Geneon in 2008.
  • The North American home media releases were initially handled by Pioneer Entertainment, before switching to Funimation.
• Conclusion in Another Medium: The anime adaptation was Cut Short before the Kaoru/Aoi storyline is resolved. You'll have to read the last few issues of the manga to get a real ending.
• Descended Creator: As the English dub's ADR director, Kaeko Sakamoto does the voice of Uzume.
• International Coproduction: Enishi was produced by Hakusensha, Geneon Entertainment and J.C. Staff in Japan and Geneon Entertainment USA in North America.
• Follow the Leader: A lower-key, less fantastical Love Hina variant.
• Role Reprise: All of the voice actors from the anime reprised their roles for the video game adaptations.
