''[[Fushigiboshi Nono Futagohime]]'' ([[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|"Twin Princesses Of The Wonder Planet"]]) is a [[Shoujo]] [[Magical Girl]] series from the director of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'', Junichi Sato. Initially a [http://futagohime.jp/original concept with its own interactive webpage] by BIRTHDAY (also known for their ''[[Daikaijuu Monogatari (Video Game)|Daikaijuu Monogatari]]'' games), Hal Film Maker took the idea and adapted it into an anime, which began in April of 2005.
 
Fine and Rein are fraternal [[Always Identical Twins|twins]] who are also [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses|princesses]] of the Sunny Kingdom, one of the seven kingdoms of the Wonder Planet, a hollow planet with a floating sun in the middle. They also happen to be [[Informed Ability|"the most un-Princesslike Princesses ever"]]. Fine (the red-haired one) is a [[Tomboy]] with a love of [[Big Eater|sweet things]] while Rein (the blue-haired one) is a [[Genki Girl]] who loves cute things but gets [[Love Makes You Crazy|a little insane when it comes to romance]].
 
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-Out Dress|super poofy dresses]]. Don't question it, just run with it. Later takes a [[Cerebus Syndrome|decidedly dark turn]].
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]].

=== This series has examples of: ===
 
 
* [[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 Asas There Is Evil]]: {{spoiler|The Black Crystal.}}
* [[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}}.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Princesses]]
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Rainbows]]: The opening scene of every episode in the first season shows a rainbow in ''space''.
* [[Frills of Justice]]
* [[Genki Girl]]: Fine and Rein both.
Line 47 ⟶ 42:
* [["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 Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Eclipse.
* [[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]]
Line 53 ⟶ 48:
* [[Lucky Charms Title]]
* [[MacGuffin]]: The whole Grace Stones ordeal.
* [[Oddly -Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]]: Futago Hime ''Gyu!'', with "gyu" being a Japanese onomatopoeia for squeezing (often used for hand squeezing or tight hugs).
* [[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-Thin Disguise]]: Eclipse as "Shade."
Line 64 ⟶ 59:
* [[Princess Curls]]: Both main characters.
* [[Princesses Prefer Pink]]: Fine
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: The writers of ''Gyu!'' use this trope ''immensely''. The show introduces new princesses and princes while ignoring even the royal families of the Wonder Planet. In other words, if you're looking for anyone who is ''not'' [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|Fine, Rein, Poomo, Chiffon, and Bibin]], prepare to be massively disappointed. Even ''Auler'' doesn't show up as much as he should have. Alongside of that, even the new princesses and princes are basically ignored after having one episode to themselves — {{spoiler|Thomas}} gets this the worst, {{spoiler|as shortly after his [[Heel Face Turn]], he disappears for about 20 episodes, and when he finally returns to the Academy, he is [[Demoted to Extra]]}}.
* [[Requisite Royal Regalia]]
* [[Royal Blood]]
* [[Sibling Team]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Rein's name was written as "Rain" in the first eyecatch of the series, but producer Junichi Sato decided to stick with calling her "Rein" because he didn't want her to be associated with the weather rain.
** 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.
