'''''Guin Saga''''' is a huge (126 volumes) series of [[High Fantasy]] [[Light Novels]] in a sword-and-sorcery world, arguably ''[[
It begins with the Twins of Parros, [[Half
As the story progresses, [[Loads and Loads of Characters|more characters are introduced]], and at times it's even difficult to remember who the designated protagonist is at any given time. Any of the story's arcs include fighting, political intrigue and lots of [[Character Development
[[Needs More Love]].

An anime adaptation was broadcast between April and September 2009 with 26 total episodes that cover the first 16 volumes. Sentaiworks has licensed the series for English distribution, with the first 13 episodes being released in March.

{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Lady Amnelis certainly fits.
* [[A God Am I]]: {{spoiler|Aldo Naris, though being a God isn't his final goal}}.
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: The series seems to take place in some kind of medieval fantasy-world at first... then comes the apparent fact that the Mongohls that attack the protagonists' city in the beginning have ''lasers with them'', and that there's a highly advanced-looking ''teleportation device'' in the tower at the center of said city.
* [[Anti
* [[Anti
* [[Aristocrats Are Evil]]: The Black Baron.
* [[Anticlimax]]: Guin has a habit of ending fights that have been played up as big climactic encounters with one sucker-punch to the gut; in the anime, the dramatic music is suddenly cut off to emphasize this.
* [[Author Existence Failure]]: Kaoru Kurimoto passed away on 26 May 2009 after fighting pancreatic cancer for years, while the anime is still airing. With her death, there can't be definitive ending for ''Guin Saga''. Though technically, the series "ended" at volume 100, with everything after that being gravy for the fans.
* [[Badass]]: Guin
* [[Beast Man]]: Guin, though he's possibly more of a [[Half
* [[BFS]]: Lord Marus of the Mongauls uses one of these, though it sometimes seems more like a [[Blade
* [[Bishonen]]: Several of the main characters, most notably Aldo Naris.
* [[Black and White Morality]]: Rinda tends to believe in this, though the series itself tends to side with a more [[Gray and Gray Morality]].
Line 38:
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Remus and Rinda are described at times as "two pretty girls" in the novels, while Aldo Naris is successful in [[It Makes Sense in Context|crossdessing]].
* [[Easy Amnesia]]: Guin remembers nothing but his name, his fighting skills, and the name Aurra.
* [[Five
** Guin ([[The Hero]]/[[The Big Guy]])
** Istavan ([[The Lancer]])
** Rinda ([[The Smart Guy]]/[[The Chick]])
** Remus ([[The Smart Guy]]/[[The Chick]])
* [[Four
** Guin (Melancholic)
** Istavan (Sanguine)
Line 52:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Guin of course. He's built like a sacrificial god of battle, yet is an eloquent speaker, knows countless languages, and is a master tactician and strategist.
* [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]: Guin, though he's [[Heroes Prefer Swords|more than proficient with swords]].
* [[Half
* [[I Fight for
* [[Incurable Cough of Death]]: {{spoiler|Lady Amnelis' father.}}
* [[Informed Ability]]: Lady Amnelis, in the anime at least. She's supposed to be a great general and battle-hungry warrior, but once her older, more experienced adviser is gone, her head for strategy seems to disappear and the only weapon she wields is a conducting baton; mostly her talents seem to lie less in being a military officer and more in being very, very shiny. She also seems suspiciously helpless when being threatened.
Line 69:
* [[The Millstone]]: Remus and Rinda, though they get better.
* [[No Export for You]]: It's unlikely any more of the books will be translated in English.
* [[Non
* [[Not So Different]]
* [[Out of Focus]]: Several episodes ignore Guin and company in favor of other characters
* [[Pimped
* [[Prequel]]: [[The Sword Of Paros]]. [[Expy|Erminia resembles Amnelis a great deal.]]
* [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses]]: Lady Amnelis take this to the extreme, reacting with disgust when shown the array of dresses her father wants her to wear. Her attitude is somewhat justified by the [[Stay in
* [[Reliable Traitor]]: Karthon
* [[Rousing Speech]]
Line 82:
* [[Small Annoying Creature]]: Suni
* [[Sword and Sorcery]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: Istavan
* [[Team Pet]]: Suni
* [[The Revolution Will Not Be Civilized]]
Line 88:
* [[Trope Maker]]: Many of the tropes universal in Japanese RPG have their origin in the novel.
* [[Waif Prophet]]: Rinda
* [[What Measure Is a Non
* [[White
* [[White
* [[Wutai]]: The Country of Khume
