Fine and Rein are fraternal [[Always Identical Twins|twins]] who are also [[
Unfortunately, the floating sun is starting to lose its power. As the Princesses of the kingdom that looks after the sun, Fine and Rein are secretly tasked by Princess Grace — the legendary hero of the Sunny Kingdom — to investigate the source of the sun's troubles. And to do so, they get the power to change into [[Pimped
It later got a second series, ''Fushigiboshi No Futagohime Gyu!'', in which Fine and Rein get sent to [[Boarding School|Princess School]] in order to receive a certification that will allow them to become Queens. During the orientation of new students, they are presented with a legendary bell that will only ring when a certain person, [[The Chosen One|destined to become the "Universal Princess"]] touches it. Until this time, the bell has never rung until Fine and Rein touch it, transforming them into [[Frilly Upgrade|newer, frillier, poofier dresses]]. Meanwhile, a strange dark entity has begun to possess people all over campus, causing them to descend into irreversible depression. Unlike the previous series, it follows a standard [[Monster of the Week]] format and delves into [[Magical Girl Warrior]] themes instead of the [[Cute Witch]] style it originally had (presumably due to the success of a similar format in the second half of the original series). Part of the reason of why it was different was because Junichi Sato left in the beginning of its run, most likely due to [[Creative Differences]]. [[Broken Base|Some cite the sequel as something that should have never existed]]
Line 12:
This series is notable for its extremely high level of sugary sweetness and for the [[Ermine Cape Effect|most impractically poofy princess dresses ever]], where [[Frills of Justice|the amount of frills is directly proportional to magical power]].

{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: There's a lot of this, but for starters, contrary to the original concept's solid seven, the anime went out of its way to introduce a secret eighth kingdom on the Wonder Planet, known as the Ocean Kingdom, guarded by Princess Pearl.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Fine, at least, really prefers [[Dark Is Not Evil|Eclipse/Prince Shade]] over Prince Bright.
Line 24 ⟶ 19:
* [[Almost Kiss]]: {{spoiler|Rein and Eclipse}} nearly share one in the manga... {{spoiler|only to be cockblocked by Milky!}}
* [[Anime First]]
* [[As Long
* [[Bandwagon Technique]]: How {{spoiler|Bright, ends up taking over the world}}
* [[Battle Theme Music]]: FLIP-FLAP's "Miracle Gemini Gyu" becomes the battle theme for Fine and Rein in ''Gyu!''
Line 37 ⟶ 32:
* [[Ermine Cape Effect]]
* [[Evil Costume Switch]]: {{spoiler|Bright, when he is possessed by the Black Crystal}}.
* [[
* [[
* [[Frills of Justice]]
* [[Genki Girl]]: Fine and Rein both.
Line 45 ⟶ 40:
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Poomo, in the final episode of the first series}}, [[Disney Death|not that it lasts]].
* [[Hollow World]]
* [["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]]: {{spoiler|This happens during a lot of confrontations with Bright near the end of the first series.}}
* [[Impractically Fancy Outfit]]
* [[Jerk
* [[Just Eat Gilligan]]: Most of the princesses would be doing their kingdoms a service by [[God Save Us From the Queen | murdering]] their [[What an Idiot!|parents.]]
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]
* [[Loser Protagonist]]: The majority of the princesses win Princess Parties ''because'' of Fine and Rein's help, but the two have never won one. This was averted in the manga, where they win the final Princess Party.
* [[Lucky Charms Title]]
* [[MacGuffin]]: The whole Grace Stones ordeal.
* [[Oddly
* [[Official Couple]]: Fine/Shade, Rein/Bright, Altezza/Auler, Elizabeta/Fango, Calorie/Tauri, Milro/Pastel... and that's not even including the kings and queens! Even [[Puppy Love|Milky and Nalro]] got some [[Ship Tease]] before they even learned how to speak!
* [[Paper
* [[Peacock Girl]]
* [[Petting Zoo People]]: Most of the inhabitants of the Wonder Planet.
* [[Pimped
* [[Power Trio]]/[[Three Amigos]]: Fine, Rein, and Poomo act as a trio throughout the series, although you can substitute Poomo for Lione if you want a more human counterpart. Cue the second half of the series, Altezza replaces Lione's role. The trio formation becomes crucial to ''Gyu!'' to the point where the students ''must'' create teams of three, hence Team Gemini (Fine, Rein, Chiffon), Team Celeb (Elizabeta, Sasha, Carla), Team Jewel (Altezza, Sophie, Lemon), Team Samba (Lione, Calorie, Asuri), etc.
* [[Prince Charming]]: Bright.
Line 64 ⟶ 59:
* [[Princess Curls]]: Both main characters.
* [[Princesses Prefer Pink]]: Fine
* [[Put
* [[Requisite Royal Regalia]]
* [[Royal Blood]]
* [[Sibling Team]]
* [[Spell My Name
** Milro has an interesting case since her name was spelled "Mirlo" in the first [[All There in the Manual|character fanbook]], but "Milro" in episode 19 and in the second character fanbook. One has to wonder if "Mirlo" was a typo or if [[They Just Didn't Care]] about the proper romanization of her name. Last, some fansubs write her name out by her literal Japanese pronunciation, "Miruro", but it's not [[Word of God]] so it has less validity than her other names.** The fansubs romanized Truth's name as "Toulouse" and Altezza's as "Altessa" before the character fanbook came out with the official romanizations. Some people still refer to the characters by their fansub names.
* [[Stop Having Fun Guy|Stop Having Fun Girl]]: Altezza takes the "Best Food Princess" competition a [[Serious Business|little too seriously]]...** Heck, episode 22 reveals that she [[Hard Work Hardly Works|trained more diligently]] for the previous parties than all the other princesses combined.
Line 75 ⟶ 70:
* [[Swiss Army Tears]]: {{spoiler|When Fine and Rein lose their hearts permanently after defeating the Black Crystal Planet, it takes Bright and Shade's [[Manly Tears]] to revive them.}}
* [[The Force]]: The Prominence
* [[Theme Music Power
* [[Transformation Sequence]]
* [[Transformation Trinket]] - The Sunny Luces
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The writers of the show decided not to focus too much on the [[Love Dodecahedron]] between Fine, Rein, Bright, and Eclipse because they felt that romance would draw away some of their viewers.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: During the Best Sweets Princess Party, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Fine and Rein inadvertently destroy Altezza's entry]] while helping Lione. When they go to apologize to Altezza, Altezza becomes rather pissed instead of remorseful at what they have to say. Fine and Rein end up yelling at her and losing all of their princess levels.
* [[Wheel
* [[Wonder Twin Powers]]: Although Fine and Rein can use the Prominence and the Feather Mewgram by themselves, they need each other to transform and use their most powerful magic. This is also prevalent in ''Gyu!'', where their twin angel mascots, Pyupyu and Kyukyu, are needed to help them transform.
