Genre Busting: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Asobi ni Iku yo!|Asobi Ni Iku Yo]]!'' About half fairly standard ecchi romance/comedy. The other half is a thriller.

* ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' is a complex, metaphorical coming of age story seen through the lens of Buddhism, Gnosticism, and Jungian philosophy. It also uses deconstructionist theory to tackle issues such as gender roles, the incest taboo, and binary principle. It also a complex look at the dark side of tropes and imagery associated with European fairy tales, such as the prince, the princess, and the wicked witch. It also is a surrealist dramedy observing the complicated interpersonal relationships between the students. It also is about lesbians. But TV Tropes likes to say it's a [[Shojo]], and back away slowly. Pretty impressive for a TV series that states "From the Director of Sailor Moon!" on its American DVD release.

* ''[[Adolf]]'': Spanning approximately half a century, from the Berlin Olympics to the then-present of The Eighties, focusing primarily on the years leading up to World War Two, it is by turns a [[Coming of Age Story]], [[Spy Fiction]], Romance & a fairly well-done [[Author Tract]] about the evils of war and racism.

* ''[[Radio City Fantasy]]'''s minimal plot should make it a straightforward romantic comedy until it takes surrealist segues.

** [[First-Person Shooter|First Person]] [[Shaped Like Itself|Metroid]][[Metroidvania|vania]]

* Likewise with ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'', which is a first-person shooting action puzzle adventure [[Black Comedy|comedy horror]]... [[Buffy-Speak|thing]].

** There are some [[Resident Evil]]-esque [[Survival Horror]] elements as well. Understandable, since the series' creator Shinji Mikami helped in the creation of the game.

* All the original ''[[Might and Magic]]'' games (without the word "of" in the title) switch from swords and sorcery to sci-fi towards the end. Trade in your maces and bows for blasters.
