Tropes That Apply To Both Series

Adaptation Displacement: Wait, the anime is loosely based off of a lesser-known arcade-style third person shooter?
Ho Yay Shipping: Bob Poundmax and Balladbird Lee seem to be "very close friends".
- There's some slashy implications between Brandon and Harry as well. Arguably more than "some".
- Come to think of it, Bunji and Brandon as well.
  - Pick any two guys and you can conceivably see this: Harry and Lee, Cannon Vulcan and Blood War, Bear and... Okay, maybe not Bear.
  - Bear and Sid.
Magnificent Bastard: Harry is a suave, cunning Manipulative Bastard who is fantastic at business and good with women. He also has a better image than Brandon because Brandon is the one who deals with all the necessary bloodshed.
Moral Event Horizon: Harry shooting an unarmed Brandon after Brandon can't bring himself to shoot Harry.
Needs More Love
The Woobie: Arguably Mika and Grave.

Tropes That Apply To The Video Games

Disappointing Last Level: In both games.
It's Easy, So It Sucks/It's Short, So It Sucks: A common complaint of the original game, though it was still praised for its aesthetics.
So Bad, It's Good: On one hand, the name Rocketbilly Redcadillac is trying so hard to be awesome that it's just stupid. On the other hand, it's so stupid that it loops back around to awesome again.
That One Boss: Bunji in the first game, the robotic tanks in the second game.

Tropes That Apply To The Anime

Awesome Music: The ending theme "Akaneiro ga Moeru Toki".
Love to Hate: Harry. Having substantial amount of Character Development throughout the anime helps.
The Scrappy: Mika is often considered to be a very weak female character. And her shrieks don't help.

-* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Brandon, full stop. To wit,  {{spoiler|he turns down Maria, the love of his life, because he feels she deserves better than him. He then gives Big Daddy his blessing to marry her, and they have a child. Then his best friend, Harry kills him and he's reanimated as an unstoppable killing machine with [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]; when it clears up, he's forced to recognize that his best friend is now the [[Big Bad]], his partner has morphed into an [[Omnicidal Maniac]], and in order to protect the child his One True Love had with another man he has to kill all of his friends, his mentor, and ultimately Harry. Who, along with Maria, was the only reason Brandon got ''involved'' with Millenion in the first place, before one has the other killed. And that's not even mentioning his and Harry's childhood in an abusive orphanage, that their previous gang was murdered, or the fact that two of said gang were gunned down as Brandon and Harry watched.}}
