Line 41:
* [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]]: In the first episode, when Akko holds out a guide to Luna Nova, you can pause the episode and read its content, which includes a history of Luna Nova, a map of the facility and how to access it, and pictures of the facility. {{quote|'''''Greetings from Luna Nova'''
In 420 AD at the site dedication for the prestigious witchcraft academy of Luna Nova, our founding mentor, Woodward of the Nine Olde Witches greeted our first 100 students with these words "Let this academy be the first milestone in restoring the art of witchcraft and all of its lost glory."}}
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In episode 21, the animators used the fact that Japanese audiences probably don't know what English swear words are to sneak a very naughty word into a scene. This is when anonymous users online are complaining about the latest soccer game. {{quote|''piece of shit game''
''piece of shit referee''}}
* [[Good Angel, Bad Angel]]: In episode eight, the inner Sucys manifest themselves as angels to guide Akko through, well, Sucyworld. Played with, in that what the good angel is doing, forcing Akko to sign a contract to enlist the angel's help, cannot be considered "good".
* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: [[Downplayed]]. Akko at the start of episode twelve does this briefly. This is even lampshaded. {{quote|'''Sucy''': Wow. Akko's feeling down in the dumps. I guess there's a first time for everything.}}
Line 72 ⟶ 74:
* [[Retraux]]: In "Akko's Adventures in Sucyworld", the film that Akko and all other Sucys watch inside Sucy's mind are in black and white, and animated like older American cartoons than a Japanese series.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|Did you know that Professor Ursula is Shiny Chariot all along?}} It's true! Go watch episode 15 yourself!
* [[Screen Shake]]: Used in conjunction with action and fight sequences, as well in sequences where someone is hit. An example would be in "Akko's Adventures in Sucyworld", where Lotte hits Akko with a wand to put her to sleep, and the screen shakes to reflect this action.▼
* [[Ship Tease]]: The end of episode ten gives us one between Lotte and Frank, although Lotte immediately crushes any shipper's hope by stating that they're [[Better as Friends]]. The episode gives a more subtle one hinting at Akko and Andrew.
{{quote|'''Frank''': What about you and Atsuko Kagari?
Line 81 ⟶ 84:
'''Sucy''': Yeah, yeah.
'''Akko''': It won't happen!}}
* [[Show Within a Show]]: In episode four, we are introduced to the [[Young Adult]] book series ''Night Fall''.▼
* [[Sink-or-Swim Mentor]]: Sucy briefly turns into this while teaching Akko how to fly on a broomstick. She does this by tying Akko to her own broomstick and making her bungee jump off a tower, then shooting her out of a cannon. Don't worry, because [[Toon Physics]] is at play no one gets hurt. {{quote|'''Sucy''': In order to win, you actually have to be able to ride a broom. I think it's best if you jump into the pool, completely head first.}}▼
* [[The Sky Is an Ocean]]: In "Stanship Take Off!", the airship that Akko and Constanze designs look like a seafaring vehicle. It even sailed on water before flying into the sky.
* [[The Song Remains the Same]]: The ending and opening songs remain in Japanese even in the English dub.
* [[Speed Stripes]]: Used quite frequently throughout all episodes. It's there to save budget so [[Studio Trigger]] won't make the mistake their ancestors at [[Gainax]] made and run out of money. They do ''not'' want to pull a [[Gainax Ending]].
* [[Surprisingly Good English]]: Despite being made by a [[Studio Trigger|Japanese studio]], the [[Freeze-Frame Bonus]] guide to Luna Nova Akko holds up in episode one features perfect English, with real, on topic information about Luna Nova that you [[If You Can Read This...|can read]]. English text throughout the series are appropriately high quality. The animators even knew how to swear in English, without using [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]]!▼
* [[Talking in Your Sleep]]: Akko after freeing all the Sucys from being executed inside Sucy's mind, talks in her sleep about how she did something good.
* [[That Was Objectionable]]: In the courtroom scene in episode eight, Akko loudly objects to the different Sucys being terminated, even going as far to physically stop the judge's hammer with her hands. She '''does''' have a reason, thinking it's ridiculous▼
* [[Training Montage]]: [[Parodied]] in episode three, with Akko trying (remember, ''trying'') to fly on a broomstick. Cue lots of intense yelling, book reading, and [[Epic Fail|epic failing]].▼
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: In "Stanship Take Off!", the ship built for the Wild Hunt is able to transform into a [[Humongous Mecha]], accompanied with flashy backgrounds and music.▼

* [[Taken for Granite]]: The cockatrice in the Forest of Arcturus, in episode one, has the power to turn things into stone with its breath.▼
* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: When Akko accidentally insults the cockatrice in episode one, there is just enough time for Sucy to explain what she's really done before the bird starts attacking them.

▲*
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: In episode ten, Lotte has to deal with one of those, from people stung by a love bee.
* [[Valley Girl]]: In episode eight, one of the Sucys in Sucyworld is like this, complete with way too much makeup and trendy clothes. {{quote|'''Valley Girl Sucy''': I really want to be a Hollywood celebrity}}
