Line 47:
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Lieutenant Yamamoto.
* [[Cool Ship]]: Subverted, the Soyokaze's a piece of junk.
** Played somewhat straight in that the Soyokaze has, among other things, a bar, a spa, [[The Battlestar|both a fighter quadron and a marine detachment]] and it's supposed to just be a [[Sci
*** A squadron of maybe three fighters, and a marine detachment of five or six guys plus the dropship pilot.
*** [[Truth in Television]]: Larger ships often do have similar recreational areas for personnel to relax and blow off steam due to the relative isolation. Soyokaze's fighters and marines are analogous to the seaplanes and marines carried by [[WW 2]] destroyers and cruisers.
Line 59:
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Tylor -- maybe.
* [[Guile Hero]]: Weather or not you believe him to be a [[Magnificent Bastard]], you have to admit he's got a bit of a silver tongue.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Harumi. Pretty much the entire crew fakes sick just to be treated by her.
* [[He-Man Woman Hater]]: Kojiro Sasaki never quite grew out of the [[Girls Have Cooties]] stage of childhood. Naturally, this means that the ridiculously cute twins just ''have'' to latch on to him from day one onward...
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Tylor, surprisingly enough; you'd think he'd be immune to such a thing, but after {{spoiler|Admiral Hanner's death}}, he goes on autopilot for a little while, utterly disinterested in (and walking out on) a ceremony in his honor. It takes him a while to snap out of it, at which point {{spoiler|he decides to leave the UPSF. [[Ten Minute Retirement|It doesn't stick.]]}}
Line 96:
* [[Number Two]]: Yamamoto
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Tylor -- [[Running Gag|maybe.]]
* [[One
* [[Organic Technology]]: The Raalgons are based around this.
* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: Dom, for the entire series except for a couple of moments of surprise.
Line 113:
* [[Reassignment Backfire]]: Averted, as nothing relevant to the war with the Raalgon occurs until they're on their way ''back'' from the demotion sector.
** Also played straight with Tyler's assignment to the Soyokaze in the first place: The admirals were hoping her notoriously unruly crew would kill him.
* [[Ridiculously
* [[Robot Girl]]: {{spoiler|Harumi}}
* [[Running Gag]]: Combined with [[Shout
** He's also something of a [[The Woobie|Woobie]] too, as it's rarely his fault and seems a bit less... psychotic than the other marines.
** In episode 3 of the OVA, an excuse is made that Jason gets sick on Fridays. REALLY sick.
* [[Shout
** The new power armor in the OVA is named "Newtype", and the jeeps are similar to those in the UC Gundam series.
* [[Show Some Leg]]: Used in Episode 2.
Line 146:
** Meanwhile, Azalyn is wondering the entire time how she can [[Interspecies Romance|succeed in capturing Tylor's heart.]]
*** All of the above come from one fabulous episode. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|It has to be seen to be believed.]]
* [[What a Piece of Junk!]]: The ''Soyokaze''
* [[What Is This Thing You Call Love?]]: {{spoiler|Harumi tries to come to understand what this emotion means, and Azalyn finds herself innocently curious towards Humans.}}
* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]: Part of the final episode, which shows {{spoiler|all of the crew following Tylor's advice before Yamamoto recruits them for the Aso.}} Of course, it becomes hilariously subverted in one of the most impressive [[Bait and Switch]] endings [[Crowning Moment of Funny|of all time.]] It has to be seen to be believed.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Ru Baraba Dom
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Yamamoto, like most of the UPSF staff, has the right mindset for a [[Wooden Ships and Iron Men]] tale of Japanese-style militarism -- and then Tylor makes them look like idiots.
* [[X Meets Y]]: Imagine the cast of a [[Hot
** Alternately, imagine the complete inverse.
* [[Younger Than They Look]]: {{spoiler|Harumi}} is only three years old. Which sort of makes sense, considering she's also {{spoiler|a robot.}}
