Did You Know?
| Trivia | Released in America with subtitles (not dubbed, as is sometimes suggested) in a rush to win back the money it lost in Japan before the studio went bankrupt. The film was advertised as the first X-rated animated film (even though Fritz the Cat (1972) came out in the US first), but this did not help the movie find its audience in the States, and it ended up being a huge box office bomb for the studio.

| Crazy Credits | Before the Japanese opening credits there is a text card in English: "This story is a fiction, so all responsibility does'nt lie on the production staff because the character of this story are all fictitious." (Spelling and grammar as seen on screen.) See more » |
