Line 17:
* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: Anna, {{spoiler|after learning that Goh still has some feelings for Milla}}.
* [[Adventure Rebuff]]: [[Token Mini-Moe]] Lou Roux is never let into battle due to the dangers. {{spoiler|She rebels on her own eventually}}.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: ''Godannar'' is a love letter to old-school [[Super Robot]] shows and to the [[Ultra Series]] tokusatsu, and it's an absolute treat to any fan of either genre. The Super Robot side is well repented: from it's catchy theme songs (the first one sung by [[Akira Kushida]], the second one's sung by [[JAM Project|Ichiro Mizuki]] and [[Mitsuko Horie]]) to its wholehearted embrace of cliches ([[Calling Your Attacks]], [[Transforming Mecha|robots "hulking out" into more powerful forms]], [[Combining Mecha]]) and similar; the Ultra side has its monster designs and even behaviors call back to the old school Toku. That the monsters all explode when hit with the heroes' finisher just adds to the feel. As a result, this show is just one huge ball of awesome.
* [[Alien Invasion]]
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Lou's surname is never mentioned or shown during the series. Likewise, you'd never guess the Valentine siblings aren't blood- related without [[Word of God]] informing you otherwise.
Line 46:
** [[Yuri|Lesbians?]] Check!
** Massively megalogigantic [[Gainaxing|ultrabouncing]] mammaries, [[Non-Mammal Mammaries|even on the robots?]] Check!
*** [[Hourglass Hottie|And the hips]] and booty to [[Incredibly Lame Pun|back]] it up? Check!
** [[Brains and Bondage|An intelligent woman who keeps her co-pilot as a submissive slave?]] Check!
** [[Freud Was Right|Phallic symbols]] [[Gag Penis|out the wazoo?]] Check!
Line 60:
** [[Impossibly Low Neckline|All]] [[Underboobs|possible]] [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|forms]] [[Absolute Cleavage|of cleavage?]] Check!
** [[Hot Amazon|TOUGH chicks?]] Check!
** [[Good
** [[Hot Springs Episode|Completely random hot springs on a tropical island?]] Double check!
* [[Gainaxing]] (To the max, even the mechas if they look girly. Except Lou, but then again, she's a loli)
Line 94:
* [[Musical Pastiche]]: A lot of the OST is recycled from Michiaki Watanabe's earlier compositions from Iczer 1, [[Great Mazinger]], [[Dangaioh]], and the [[Metal Heroes]] franchise, this is somewhat natural considering this IS an [[Affectionate Parody|Affecionate Parody]] of 70's super robot shows.
* [[Name's the Same]]: The Goddiner pilots' names are really the Japanese names of [[Romance of the Three Kingdoms|Meng Huo and Zhu Rong]].
* [[Names to Know in Anime]]
** [[Takayuki Kondo]] (Go)
** [[Mai Nakahara]] (Anna)
Line 109:
* [[Odd Couple]]: Goh and Anna: a man at work with a high school girl that hasn't even graduated. Some [[May-December Romance]], huh?
* [[Out-of-Clothes Experience]]: Shizuru, after {{spoiler|she "dies" at the end of season one. Sadly, it ends up just a [[Framing Device]] for a [[Recap Episode]]}}.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]
* [[Put on a Bus]]: Lou for much of season two.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: There's not much else to say when a woman's massive breasts start jiggling because the cellphone she has in her cleavage is set on vibrate.
Line 116:
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Lou and Ken.
* [[Robeast]]: The Mimetic Beasts.
* [[Running Gag]]:
** "I'm not dead..."
** Also Morimoto's "[[Cannot Spit It Out|Will you m-...m-...m-..."]] to Hayashi.
* [[Shoo the Dog]] (How Lou gets separated with her soon-to-be-dead father, the beginning of her [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]])
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** Tetsuya Kouji's name is taken from the heroes of [[Mazinger Z]] and [[Great Mazinger]] ('''Kouji''' Kabuto and '''Tetsuya''' Tsurugi). Also, look at the [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]] entry. The show's second theme song is even sung by Ichiro Mizuki, THE singer for anime robot theme songs, including Mazinger, [[Combattler V]], [[Dangaioh]] and many other classics.
** Anna's outfit while doing the [[Training From Hell]] is a shout out to Noriko Takaya of [[Gunbuster]]
Line 128:
* [[Stock Footage]]: Any Dannar/Neo-Okusaer launching sequence or any [[Combining Mecha]] sequence.
* [[Stripperific]]: All female pilots...even Lou.
* [[Super Robot Wars]]: Makes a less-than-appreciated debut in Scramble Commander 2, but a "proper" one in [[Super Robot Wars K|K]]. Although none of the non-Japanese mecha and characters make it in so it still hasn't gotten a complete showing. [[Super Robot Wars L|L]] has some late mechs cameo, but the playable mechs remains the same.
* [[Training From Hell]]:
** Right after Anna debuts in piloting, she's subjected to this.
