Matsumoto threatened to revoke his approval of this OAV when he discovered that one of the enemy ships was to be shaped like a Jewish Star of David. Matsumoto, who is against racial intolerance, couldn't condone a religious symbol being used as a villain's ship and demanded that the design be changed or he would derail the production. The matter was resolved amiably, and the ship's design was completely overhauled.
Each of the four DVD volumes in the USA included a pencil board.
Due to the heavy use of religious imagery, the series was put made direct-to-DVD.
