Perhaps the only anime where the voice actor for one of the Dutch characters actually speaks proper Dutch (as opposed to e.g. German or very broken Dutch). Although they picked a weird translation for the concept of boss/chief/ranking officer, and they chose “opperhoofd”; which as a Dutch person is something you associate as a person that is the head of a tribe, not ranking officer.

Actually, the term opperhoofd was used by chief ranking officers of the Dutch trading companies in Japan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VOC_opperhoofden_in_Japan
Ah, did that know that! That makes the voice acting and script even better then.
