Key is also known for its seasonal imagery in its more famous works. ''Kanon'' makes full use of [[Snow Means Love]] and may have defined the modern [[Sad Girl in Snow]]; ''AIR'' does the same for summer, and ''CLANNAD'' for spring, though the snow plays a darker role. They're not limited to seasonal settings, though; ''planetarian'' was set in a [[Dystopia]] where robots had taken over the world and one good [[Robot Girl]] without a purpose hid in a planetarium with a refugee, and ''[[Angel Beats!]]!'' is set in what appears to be a world where no one can die (affectionately dubbed as Purgatory).
Most of the anime adaptations of the [[Key Visual Arts]] works have their OP songs sung by [[J Pop]] artist Lia (true in ''[[AIR]], [[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]], and [[Angel Beats!]]!'')

Line 18:
* ''[[Kanon]]'' (adapted into two TV series, light novels and a manga)
* ''[[AIR]]'' (adapted into ''AIR'' and ''AIR in Summer'', as well as a movie and a manga; the setting was used for the ''Kanon''/''AIR'' [[Crossover]] manga, ''Kanon & AIR Sky'')
* ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' (adapted into ''CLANNAD'' and ''CLANNAD ~after story~'', as well as a movie, manga, and 2 [[Alternate Universe]] bonus episodes following the Tomoyo and Kyou routes)
** ''Tomoyo after: It's a Wonderful Life'' (adapted into the manga ''CLANNAD ~ Tomoyo After: Dear Shining Memories'')
* ''[[Planetarian|Planetarian ~the reverie of a little planet~]]''
Line 35:
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]
* [[Bleached Underpants]]: To a minimal extent. All the visual novels come in clean versions, which in some cases are better for the lack of a shoehorned sex scene.
* [[Character Development]]: A lot of their works, but even moreso with [[Angel Beats!]] and [[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]].
* [[Chick Magnet]]: Ya think?
* [[
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Deus Angst Machina]]
* [[Disney Death]] (usually reserved for minor heroines, although {{spoiler|Ayu from ''[[Kanon]]'' and Nagisa from ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]''}} got one each too)
* [[Downer Ending]]
* [[Dulcinea Effect]]: Extremely visible in CLANNAD with [[Cool Loser|antisocial]] Tomoya becoming obsessed with helping [[Intelligence Equals Isolation|Kotomi]], [[Ill Girl|Nagisa]], [[Student Council President|Tomoyo]], [[I Am Your Opponent|Yukine]], and [[Cute Ghost Girl|Fukko]]. Also with [[Kanon|Yuuichi's]] [[Too Dumb to Live|unhealthy interest]] in [[Hot Chick with a Sword|Mai]].
Line 58:
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: If the work has a mascot, it's one of these, usually belonging to (or a stray that attaches itself to) one of the minor heroines.
* [[Snow Means Death]]/[[Snow Means Love|Love]]: When ever snow is used, expect either a corpse or a kissing couple soon after. Mostly the former.
* [[Theme Twin Naming]]: [[Clannad (visual novel)||Ryou and Kyou Fujibayashi]], [[Kanon|Shiori and Kaori Misaka]] although they're not twins), [[Little Busters!|Haruka and Kanata]].
* [[There Are No Psychologists]]
* [[Utsuge]]
