Daphne in the Brilliant Blue: Difference between revisions

* [[The Future]]

* [[Gondor Calls for Aid]]: Every ally (and [[Friendly Enemy]]) comes to {{spoiler|Maia's aid when she's kidnapped.}}

* [[Hair Colors]]: Shizuka's purple; Rena's red and Gloria's blonde may well be "real", though.

* [[Here We Go Again]]: Subverted: In the last minutes of the last episode, we see the Ocean Agency exam held a year after the one that started the series; a girl who appears to be Maia with the same applicant number clocks in with as good a score on the field exercise as Maia had a year previously -- but the moment she reports in, we can see it's someone else entirely, and Tsukasa subsequently worries about Maia making the application deadline.

* [[Hidden Eyes]]: Maia, several times.

* [[Holographic Terminal]]: Desktop and larger systems all seem to use projected screens rather than physical ones.

* [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming]]: Many episode titles are plays on the names of famous movies or literary works: "The Old Kook and the Sea", "Anger's Aweigh", "Die Hard, Play Hard", "Five Heavily Armed Women and a Baby"; this editor is unsure if this is specific to the dub.

* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]

*** Hanaoka's daughter getting angry at her father.

*** May and the Wong-Chang-Lee brothers taking the submarine back from Nereids who do the same.

* [[Siblings in Crime]]: The Wong-Chang-Lee brothers.

* [[Sick Sad World]]: For every scene of someone happy, there's five or so of something bad.

* [[Survival Mantra]]: The page quote.

* [[Suspended Animation]]: {{spoiler|Maia and her big brother.}}

* [[True Companions]]: No matter how much grief Nereids gives Maia, they really do care about her deep down. Milly and Tsukasa even more so because they don't give her such grief.

* [[Underwater City]]: They play an important role in the backstory of the world of the series. {{spoiler|And in Maia's backstory, as well.}}
