Line 61:
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Kamome was almost completely ignored in the movie in favor of Uzura.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Kamome's grandpa.
* [[Doing inIn the Wizard]]: Eventually every [[Magic From Technology|"magical" event]] is explained via [[Techno Babble]], albeit not always directly to the one who experiences it.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Tsubame was this to Hibari until her [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Fan Service]]: And most of it done by 12-13 years old girls.
* [[Fairy Tale Motifs|Fairy Tale Symbolism]]: part of Hibari's [[Character Development]] is to outgrow her wish for a [[White Prince]]. At one point the fairytale "The Red Shoes" are brought up {{spoiler|as a item and a metaphor of the mind control Shooting Star inflicts on Hibari.}}
* [[Five-Man Band]]: The Cyber Team.
** Hibari even lampshades this trope when she sees Uzura dressed up in a Diva costume and wonders if she's the final member of their team, since "the rule of thumb is that you need five members to complete an anime team."
* [[Funbag Airbag]]: Nearly every time Hibari encounters Blood Falcon. After a while, she lets out a complaint along the lines of "Not this again!"
* [[Gag Boobs]]: Blood Falcon
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Tsubame's cute pigtails make her [[Troubling Unchildhood Behavior]] even more dissonant. Hibari is a much straighter example.
Line 73:
* [[Good Parents]]: Unusually for a [[Magical Girl]] heroine, Hibari has both her parents and has a good relationship with them.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: This isn't the only time [[Luci Christian]] has voiced an [[Princess Tutu|awkward red-headed Magical Girl who dreams about a white-haired prince]].
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Tsugumi's mom.
* [[The Idiot From Osaka]]: Kamome, who is hardly an idiot but personifies pretty much every other element of the stereotype.
* [[Idol Singer]]: Hatoko Daikanyama.
Line 117:
* [[Shotacon]]: The infatuation that the Sibyl team feels towards the Black Prince can be seen as this.
* [[Skinship Grope]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] at the end of the obligatory hot springs episode, when Kamome declares that they've finally gone through all the necessary cliches.
* [[Skirts and Ladders]]: The [[Establishing Character Moment|first time we meet Kamome]], she is going first up stairs in a very short skirt providing a [[Panty Shot]]; when some boys enjoying the view remark her this, her first action is to demand money from them in exchange for the fanservice, so she doesn't denounce them as perverts.
* [[Toilet Humor]]: In episode 6, there's a [[Running Gag]] of Suzume making fun of Tsugumi for taking a long time to take a dump
* [[Teen Genius]]: Crane used to be one {{spoiler|and Takashi, being his clone, is also one}}.
Line 129:
* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: produced in 1998 and set in 2010.
* [[Tyke Bomb]]: Tsubame.
* [[Verbal Tic]]:
** Hatoko likes to say "kurukku" after each phrase, quite appropiate since her name means "pigeon".
** Tsugumi ends her sentences with "dazé".
** Suzume's "chun~" and "de gozaimasu desu wa/that it is".
* [[Villainous BSOD]]: Tsubame Otorii. Since her introduction, she acts as the Dragon to the Big Bad, easily defeating the Cyber Team girls in every encounter. {{spoiler|In episode 20, Tsubame is dragged home by Hibari. She spends the entire episode slowly breaking down while watching how Hibari's family interacts with one another, eventually suffering a Villainous BSOD and freakout by the credits, followed by a Heel Face Turn in the next episode.}} The episode is also one long [[Tear Jerker]], as we see how horrible a childhood Tsubame actually has had up to this point.
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: The [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] spends much of their time being normal people, and even end up befriending the protagonists in their off-time.
* [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]: Quite a lot, similar to ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. For example, there's a [[MacGuffin]] called [[The Bible|Metatron]], the [[Five-Man Band]] of girls are referred to as the Anima Mundi, the powered armor suits of Takashi and his gang are all named after Biblical demons (Astaroth, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, and Lucifer), and when we see Crane {{spoiler|in the present day, he has white wings and is [[Crucified Hero Shot|strung up on a cross]], and resides in a space fortress called Primum Mobile.}}
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Crane, Takashi, and Christian.
