{{quote| ''[[Russo -Japanese War|It is the 37th year of the Meiji Era]]. At the edge of the grand continent of Eurasia, the echo of guns resounded. Japan was still a weak country at the time. Their existence depended on the fortress protected by the army of evil. And the ones who faced it were delicate girls. This is a story of love and inspiration of five young girls and one young man who assisted them.''}}
 
Shintaro Umakai has been accepted as a teacher at the Amanohara Girls' School. What he's about to find out is that the school is aboard a ship, and he's acting as the teacher for the Lime Unit. Five girls with special powers, the ability to summon Raimu, spiritual armored warriors, who will be assisting the Amanohara on its invasion of the Lushun Fortress in Russia.
Line 8:
The five girls are the ditzy Momen Sanada, the tomboyish Asa Kato, the meek Kinu Fukushima, the upper-class Sarasa Honda and the elegant beauty Rinzu Kuroda. Along the way, the girls will come to grips with their own past, while Shintaro comes to grips with his own. There are things he left behind in Russia that will return with a vengeance.
 
Originally a [[Visual Novel]]-slash-battle sim game by Elf, it'''''Lime-iro Senkitan''''' was adapted into a [[Thirteen Episode Anime]] in the winter of 2003. A two-episode [[OVA]] followed about a year after, transitioning to its sequel, ''[[Lime-iro RyukitanRyūkitan X]]''. The original game also has a [[Mahjong]] spinoff, ''Lime-iro Jankitan'', and an [[Updated Rerelease]] on the [[PSPlayStation 2]].
----
=== Tropes in ''Lime-iro Senkitan'' include: ===
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[A-Cup Angst]]: Asa is easily the flattest of the girls, and gets teased about it, to her annoyance.
* [[Action-Hogging Opening]]: Raimu battles do appear in the series, but they're not the central focus like the opening makes them out to be.
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: Rinzu has one in a DVD bonus scene, complete with a little "girl in the mirror" roleplay.
* [[Airborne Aircraft Carrier]]: While not an aircraft carrier, the ''Amanohara'' is still a gigantic flying battleship.
* [[Animated Armor]]: The Raimu act like a miniature [[Motion Capture Mecha]], [[Synchronization|controlled by their pilots]].
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Big Friendly Dog]]: Sarasa's [[Formally-Named Pet|pompously-named]] pooch Antoinette Ghandi XIII. (Momen calls her "Angie".)
* [[Boob Bite]]: Provides the page image. Momen was experiencing a very specific version of [[Meat-O-Vision]], and saw Sarasa's chest as meat buns.
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Koushi, Soushi and Oushi, Kuki's three familiars, were added in the anime, and made their way back into the [[Updated Rerelease]] of the game on the [[PSPlayStation 2]].
* [[Censor Steam]]
* [[Collapsing Lair]]: Rasputin. {{spoiler|His death is getting crushed by a falling boulder.}}
Line 30 ⟶ 29:
* [[The Ditz]]: Momen
* [[Dojikko]]: Momen.
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Tsumugi Shima and Sakon (her Raimu), Major Gamou and Linen (unvoiced), from ''[[Lime-iro Iro Ryukitan X]]'' appear in the second part of the OVA, transitioning between the two series.
* [[Elemental Powers]]:
** [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Momen
** [[Making a Splash]]: Sarasa
** [[Extra Ore Dinary]]: Kinu
Line 40 ⟶ 39:
* [[Festival Episode]]: The OVA
* [[Going Commando]]: In the first OVA, Sarasa puts on a gaudy pair of lucky underwear for what she thinks is a confession with Shintaro. After seeing that her friend/rival Rinzu went without panties, Sarasa promptly removes hers. Then it turns out ''everyone'' went without them.
{{quote| '''Sarasa''': You're all cheaters!}}
** Momen also does this while the one pair of panties she owns is being washed.
* [[Good -Looking Privates]]
* [[Great Detective]]: Sarasa claims to be one when searching for her missing pocketwatch. Unfortunately, her choice of outfit is decidedly ''Scottish'' (complete with bagpipes!)
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Major Date, and Sophia.}}
* [[Historical Villain Upgrade]]: The final villain of the piece is [[Grigori Rasputin the Mad Monk|Rasputin]], here presented as an evil Raimu user who plans to [[Take Over the World]].
* [[Hot for Teacher]]: By the closure, Shintaro has gotten all five members of the Lime Unit in love with him, no matter how much he claims he's just a teacher.
* [[Hot Springs Episode]]: Which doubles as an impromptu [[Clip Show]]. It's a [[Beach Episode]] too.
Line 57 ⟶ 56:
* [[Miko]]: Kinu
* [[The Mole]]: {{spoiler|Sophia, who pretends to have suffered an injury, making her mentally reduced to childhood. She knows what's going on the whole time.}}
* [[Naked Apron]]: Momen wears one to clean the bathroom. On "Onii-chan Day", ''everyone'' wears one.
** And in most [[Naked Apron]] scenes, the underwear worn in the TV version is conspicuously absent on DVD.
* [[Ojou]]: Sarasa, type two definitely. Though she does mellow out somewhat.
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
*** Specifically, Momen = cotton, Asa = flax, Sarasa = calico, Kinu = silk, Rinzu = satin.
** Secondly, the Lime Unit get their surnames from famous Japanese generals. The first name of the general that inspired them is used for their Raimu.
* [[UpperclassUpper Class Twit]]: Sarasa. She's wealthy, and brags about all of her fancy imported goods, but is completely misinformed on how the world works.
* [[Voodoo Doll]]: Kinu has several of them, including personalized ones for every member of the crew. She uses them for impromptu puppet shows, [[Companion Cube|Companion Cubes]]s, and is unafraid of impaling them with nails to stop her friends from getting in her way. On multiple occasions.
** Not to mention one particularly disturbing bonus [[Imagine Spot]] sequence featuring a naked Kinu and a human-sized talking voodoo doll...
* [[Weapon of Choice]]:
Line 86 ⟶ 85:
** [[The Archer]]: Rinzu
** [[The Gunslinger]]: Kinu
** [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: Sarasa
* [[Woman in White]]: Kuki
** [[White-Haired Pretty Girl]]
