Go To

For the game:

Colbert Bump: Thanks to Pokémon Go, this game's been bumped up enough to get an anime adaptation.
Defictionalization: The game's Power Cubes were sorta-kinda defictionalized with a Power Bank.
No Dub for You: Although Ingress is available in multiple languages, only English and Japanese are voiced.
Why Fandom Can't Have Nice Things: Some owners of physical properties, especially museums, cemetaries, and other places where patrons are expected to be on their best behavior, don't like Ingress players using their property just to play the game, especially if said players are particularly obnoxious. Yes, those owners do contact Niantic about the hassle players cause, and yes Portals from the properties in question can be removed as a result. The problem is generally not as widespread or high in amplitude compared with the playerbase of Pokémon GO, another Niantic GPS-based game (Ingress particularly encourages players to be on their best behavior due to the in-universe explanation that the player is a covert operative), but it still happens.

All-Star Cast: The Japanese and English casts brought out the best of their respective talents:
- Japanese: Yoshiki Nakajima, Reina Ueda, Shigeo Kiyama, Tarusuke Shingaki, Kosuke Toriumi, Hiroo Sasaki, Kentaro Tone and Megumi Ogata.
- English: Kyle McCarley, Michelle Ruff, Crispin Freeman, Jalen K. Cassell, Mark Whitten, Christopher Corey Smith, Todd Haberkorn and Laura Bailey.
Real Song Theme Tune: The opening song of the anime is "Tessellate" by alt-J.
Role Reprise: Christopher Corey Smith and Laura Bailey reprise their roles as Hank Johnson (whose character design is deliberately designed after him) and ADA from the game and its various in-story videos.
