    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Due to contractual problems and the ownership of the original character designs, all of the characters have been redesigned for the new series. However, the hardsuits the Knight Sabers use are the same in design as the original series.
    • Goofs
      In "One Of These Nights", Leon's weight trainer glove disappears from his hand in the close up of him showing Priss the video scan of the soldiers who are moving in to Tokyo to fight the boomer plague.
    • Quotes
      • Nene Romanova: Come ON, Priss! We have to hurry, come on!
      • Priss S. Asagiri: SHUT UP or I'm going to spank you.
      • Nene Romanova: [Scoffs] I'd like to see you TRY!
    • Alternate versions
      In the english-dubbed version of episode one (Can't Buy A Thrill) a scene where Priss was sitting alone on a pier was shortened. In the DVD release, this scene was returned to the original length, including Priss humming "I'll Be Waiting For You", the closing theme to the series.
