{{tropelist}}
* [[The Abridged Series]] - By [http://www.youtube.com/user/IishTehScourgemaster this] [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDF871639B50313B5 guy]
* [[Accidental Pervert]] - Yuuto with Shiina more times than should be possible. Also that little incident with Hazuki at the hot springs.
* [[The Ace]] - Haruka is good at everything... except drawing.
* [[Actor Allusion]] - Episode 11 of ''Purezza'', where [[Fumihiko Tachiki|Gentou]] goes back to his days of wearing [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] and [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|commanding biomechanical robots in an underground base]].
* [[A Day in
** Mika gets two, episode 8 of both seasons.
** Touka's is episode 3 of ''Purezza''.
Line 26:
* [[And Knowing Is Half the Battle]] - Each [["On the Next..."]] in ''Purezza'' features a pair of characters letting the viewers learn a new piece of otaku terminology related to the next episode
* [[Art Shift]] - The first anime ending sequence (by Naoto Hosoda as "Shirou Tagami") is noticeably different to the rest of the show.
* [[Badass Adorable]] - Haruka dosen't have a personal team of maids as much as she has a personal squad of ''very'' skilled (and cute) bodyguards, including the [[Token
** [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] - Given her personality, it is ''very'' easy to forget that Haruka is an accomplished martial artist with a black belt in Aikido. Just ask a senior who ''angered'' her with his constant harassing of Yuuto after he [[Taking the Heat|claimed responsibility for the manga stash Haruka accidentally dropped]].
* [[Badass Family]] - The Nogizaka Family.
Line 35:
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]] - Kayahara Yayoi, the idol-singer agent.
* [[Black Comedy Rape]] - End of ''Purezza'''s episode two. [[Les Yay|Poor]], [[Skinship Grope|poor Shiina]].
* [[Blade
* [[Bottle Fairy]] - Ruko, Yuuto's elder sister, but his homeroom teacher Yukari is no better, just like another well-known [[Azumanga Daioh (Manga)|Yukari]].▼
* [[Brand X]] - PDS (Portable Dream Station), which looks like a possible lovechild of the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS.
** Averted with [http://www.toranoana.jp/ Toranoana] and [http://www.animate.co.jp/ Animate] however.
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
* [[The Chew Toy]] - Shiina, who has a tendency to clumsily stumble into [[Fan Service|Fanservicey]] [[Panty Shot|Panty Shots]] and [[Not What It Looks Like|unfortunate situations]] that are [[Black Comedy Rape|played for laughs]] at her expense.
* [[Christmas Cake]] - Judging by Hazuki's teenage appearance in Haruka's flashbacks as a toddler, Hazuki would probably be around this age bracket by now, but likely under 30. In any case, she is still as beautiful as a girl 10 years younger than her.
* [[Clasp Your Hands If You Deceive]] - Gentou of course, complete with [[Scary Shiny Glasses]] and mini [[Neon Genesis Evangelion
* [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] - Mika, of all people. {{spoiler|She gets mad at Yuuto when he compliments Shiina's yukata, and drags him away. Also, in ''Purezza'' Episode 8, she gets a bit jealous when her three friends all sit on his lap, prompting her to sit in the only spot still open to her... between his legs.}}
** Mika jokingly flirts with Yuuto in episode 3 of the first season, in an attempt to get Haruka to come out of her room after the latter had been in there for 3 days straight. It works, but [[It Got Worse|not the way she'd hoped]], and causes Haruka to hide in her room again after she came out to tell Mika not to steal him away.
Line 61 ⟶ 60:
* [[Cool Old Guy]] - Yuuto meets one on the beach during Episode 11. Turns out it's {{spoiler|Ouki Nogizaka, Haruka's grandfather.}}
* [[Cool Shades]] - Nanami and Gentou both sport them. Haruka had this on episode 9 of Purezza, while impersonating Gentou.
* [[Crash Into Hello]] - [[Once an Episode]] (or more) for the first few episodes, mostly between Yuuto and Shiina. Seems to be Yuuto's default way of bumping into Milan too.
* [[Cross-Popping Veins]] - On occasion, usually with Yuuto.
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Haruka isn't attracted to Yuuto for no reason. In Episode 7 he stands up to Gentou who wants his daughter back -- a rare feat in the face of an intimidating billionaire like him. ''Purezza'' Episode 5 has him defending Alice against Shute. His defense and words for Alice and the maids/butlers in general inspire the other guests around him to give Shute his comeuppance.
Line 78 ⟶ 77:
*** Shiina finally joins the cast in episode 5.
* [[Event Flag]] -- Invoked by Shiina
{{quote|
* [[Fan Service]]
* [[Festival Episode]] - Set on New Year's.
Line 86 ⟶ 85:
* [[Gainaxing]] - The ''Purezza'' OP being a prime source.
* [[The Woman Wearing the Queenly Mask|The Girl Wearing The Princess Mask]] -- The reason why Haruka hides her hobby. Granted, she doesn't suffer too much personally, as she's good at everything... except drawing.
* [[Gratuitous English]] - Shute Sutherland.
* [[Gratuitous Foreign Language|Gratuitous Russian]] - In Episode 2, Haruka's able to converse with some Russian tourists in their own language. It's grammatically correct, but pronounced with absurdly thick Japanese accents.
* [[Groin Attack]] - Poor Gentou, courtesy of Alice-chan in Episode 12 of ''Purezza''.
▲* [[
* [[Hates the Job, Loves
* [[Headbutt Thermometer]] - Haruka to Yuuto in ''Purezza'' episode 4, following Mika's expert medical advice.
* [[Henpecked Husband]] - Not even the fearsome Gentou can stand up to his [[Dissonant Serenity|disturbingly calm and beautiful]] wife Akiho
* [[Heroic BSOD]] - Haruka suffers one after a student bumps into her, causing her to drop her bookbag with an anime catalog in it. Yuuto takes the blame, and excitedly yells that she had found the catalog he lost, which the other students immediately fall for. But it causes her to skip school for a few days, fearing that Yuuto was now going to be ostracized like she was in middle school when they discovered she was a closet [[Otaku]].
* [[High-Pressure Emotion]] - So, so much. A prime example is in Episode 2, when Haruka saw a [[Yaoi]] doujin for the first time. Yuuto has to half-carry her out of the store to the next one. Sometimes happens to ''both'' Yuuto and Haruka at the same time - usually when they're caught doing something affectionate.
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]] - Gentou
* [[Hopeless Suitor]] - Poor Shiina. She never really gets a chance to be with Yuuto, since he's more or less already with Haruka by the time she shows up regularly on the show. He does at least spend [[A Day in
* [[Hot Mom]] - Akiho, whom to her delight was mistaken for Haruka's ''older sister'' by Yuuto.
* [[Hot Springs Episode]] - The first episode of ''Purezza'', with [[Censor Steam]] so abundant it's quite a distraction. Fortunately subverted in the DVD releases.
Line 118:
* [[Knight Templar Parent]] - Even when he stops enforcing his views on Haruka's hobbies, Gentou remains endearingly over-protective, but was '''unhappy''' enough to try and chop Yuto with his katana when he thought the boy tried to take Haruka's chastity. Then again by this time it should be ''very obvious'' to everyone (on both sides of the fourth wall) that they're already almost like a married couple.
* [[Les Yay]] - Ruko and Yukari
* [[Let Her Grow Up, Dear]] - Even if the fearsome Gentou wants his little girl Haruka to stay "pure" forever, his [[Sarcasm Mode|oh so "convincing"]] wife Akiho isn't going to have any of that, oh no...
* [[Love Triangle]] - [[Triang Relations|Type 6]], with Shiina in the "A" spot, being forced to choose between Yuuto and [[Les Yay|Haruka]] -- both of whom are clearly in love with each other -- in the "B" and "C" spots, respectively.
* [[Luminescent Blush]] - Haruka blushes more than most anime characters in recent memory.
* [[Manipulative Bitch]] - Yayoi, the idol singer agent; the most malicious character in the franchise, so far; heck, even Shute would look like a laughable buffoon in comparison.
* [[Meido]] - The Nogizakas have a large contingent of maids, but only a select few take the spotlight. Hazuki, Nanami and Alice are the most prominent, but ''Purezza'' introduces the top ten maids. The seventh-placer is a group of triplets, but the second-placer is curiously absent, [[Noodle Incident|for reasons nobody wants to go into]]. To wit:
{{quote|
'''02:''' (Unknown) {{spoiler|(Though hinted in the anime to be none other than Akiho Nogizaka)}}
'''03:''' Nanami Nanashiro, Mika's partner-in-crime and the sisters' chauffeur; wields a [[Drop the Hammer|hammer]]
'''04:''' Minamo Kusumoto, finance, legal and public relations liaison, as well as Hazuki's [[The Lancer|second-in-command]] and backup
'''05:''' Maria Yukinohara, in charge of general work, though more of [[The Medic]]
'''06:''' Koayu Nagikawa, extremely shy house chef
'''07:''' Ayame, Sara and Juri Rokujou, triplets and head chauffeurs, driving the family's business jet, jump jet and plane, respectively
'''08:''' Alice Rein, youngest of the bunch, security/sabotage expert, and probably the most [[Badass Adorable]] amongst the squadron; wields a [[Batter Up|spiked baseball bat]]
'''09:''' Rio Munakata, resident [[Mad Scientist]]
'''10:''' Iwai Hinasaki, events organizer and a real [[Miko]]; also [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] (complete with [[Youko Hikasa]] as seiyuu) }}
* [[Moment Killer]] - to the point where the series is basically a series of moment killers with some occasional interludes of romance and comedy. Chances are you'll find yourself thinking, "Okay, who or what is going to interrupt them ''this'' time?" whenever a romantic scene comes up.
Line 147:
** Yuuto, Alice, and the [[Freud Was Right|choco-banana]].
** And played for [[Dirty Old Man|rather]] [[Lolicon|squicky]] [[Played for Laughs|laughs]] in ''Purezza'' Episode 12. Poor, poor Shiina.
* [[Please Don't Leave Me]] - Haruka asks a form of this ("Please, always be with me") to Yuuto after he tells her that he would never abandon or think differently of her even if the entire world did just because she's a closet [[Otaku]].
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]] - Nobunaga seems to know far more than he should...
* [[Ocular Gushers]] - Gentou during episode twelve of both seasons.
* [[Oddly
* [[Official Couple]] - Yuuto and Haruka, and [[Everyone Can See It|it can't fool anyone]].
* [[Oh Crap]] - Episode five of the first season; that is all.
* [[The Ojou]] - While Haruka's the one the audience sees most often, ''Purezza'' introduces Touka Tennouji, who's exactly what people think of when they recall the likes of [[
* [[One-Gender School]] - Mika's middle school, where she doubles as the [[Student Council President]].
* [[Otaku]] - Aside from Haruka, Nobunaga, though he's ''much'' more open about it.
* [[Overprotective Dad]] - Gentou, to the point he has his private army hunt down Haruka whenever she's not where he wants her to be.
* [[Panty Shot]] - A couple of times, though not too gratuitous than it needs to be (in the first season).
* [[Post Episode Trailer]] - Borrows [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase
* [[POV Boy, Poster Girl]]
* [[Proud to Be
* [[Purity Personified]] - Haruka, with the exception of her hidden [[Otaku]] side, is this for her entire high school.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] - Compared to his own son, Shute's father is far less of an irritation, forced his son to become a butler in a (failed) attempt to try to change his ways, and is even willing to allow others to punish his wayward son.
* [[Relationship Voice Actor]] - [[Fumihiko Tachiki|Gentou]] and [[Aya Hisakawa|Akiho]] used to be Shinigami teammates as [[Bleach|Kenpachi and Retsu]], respectively.
** ''Purezza'' gives us [[Mamiko Noto|Haruka]] and [[Rie Kugimiya|Touka]] -- a tandem not seen since [[
** [[Kaori Shimizu|Hazuki]] and [[Kana Ueda|Nanami]] are like the inverted version of the relationship between [[Lyrical Nanoha|Signum and Hayate]].
** [[Mamiko Noto|Haruka]] and [[Rina Sato|Shiina]] are like a [[Just Friends]] version of [[Mahou Sensei Negima|Nodoka and Negi]], although there's a bit of [[Les Yay]] going on here.
Line 175:
* [[Ship Tease]]
* [[Shout-Out]] - This show ain't an [[Otaku]]-centric show without tons of these.
** Haruka dresses up as [[Shakugan no Shana|Shana]] in Episode 4, and even does the "Urusai, urusai, urusai!" catchphrase, set to Mami Kawada's "Hishoku no Sora". The Comiket episode includes more ''Shana'' references with Nanami dressing up as Wilhelmina and Mika as Hecate. Hazuki is [[Bludgeoning Angel
** There is a [[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya|North High School]] sailor uniform in the foreground at one point when Haruka and Yuuto are looking at cosplay outfits in Episode 9.
** The [["On the Next..."]] of ''Purezza'' Episode 2, Mika explains "[[Tsundere]]", with the silhouettes of [[Shakugan no Shana|a certain]] [[Hot Chick
** ''Purezza'' Episode 3 is the logical conclusion to last episode's [["On the Next..."]], with the appearance of textbook [[Tsundere]] Touka Tennouji (complete with [[Rie Kugimiya]] as her seiyuu), who in one scene is even shown holding [[Toradora
** Also this one wish by Nobunaga:
{{quote|
** In the same episode his ''omikuji'' predicted the [[Ladies
** Quite possibly, naming Hazuki's counterpart in ''Purezza'''s [[Show Within a Show]] as [[Super Robot Wars|Ku]][[Spell My Name
** In ''Purezza'' Episode 12, Shiina gets teased into resembling another famous [[Potemayo|moeblob]] - with head steam, even.
** In Episode 12, nothing emphasizes just how '''angry''' Akiho is at catching Gento {{spoiler|[[Not What It Looks Like|with a half naked Shiina]], who stumbled [[Not What It Looks Like|onto the guy's futon thinking he is Yuuto]]}} than a [[Dragonball Z|glowing golden aura and her hair standing on its ends]].
** Alice wields [[Bludgeoning Angel
** The [["On the Next..."]] for episode 10 is narrated by [[Kikuko Inoue]]... represented by a silhouette capped with the number 17.
** [[Fullmetal Alchemist (
* [[Show Within a Show]] - ''[[Dojikko]] Aki-chan''
** ''Purezza'' introduces ''Nocturne Girls' School Lacrosse Club'', which borders on [[Visions of Another Self]], considering the leads resemble, sound like, and have similar names to the main female characters. Enters a whole new level of recursion when Milan sings the new opening song and also gets a part in the show itself.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]] - Haruka's naive and quiet, while little sister Mika's more forward and easygoing.
* [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]] - Yuuto and Haruka, natch. It's almost impossible to find a show so unapologetic about being ''THIS'' sweet, heartwarming and romantic since [[Ah!
* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]] - Just ask Shiina.
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Spit Take]] - Mika's reaction to her friends asking if Yuuto is her boyfriend.
* [[Spoiled Brat]] - Shute, through and through.
* [[Spoiled Sweet]] - Oh sweet, cute Haruka, probably the nicest rich kid you'll ever see in an anime.
** [[Rich Bitch]] - Touka, on the other hand...
* [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad]] -
* [[Sound-Only Death]] - Though [[Jerkass|Shute]] isn't killed in this case, the audience ''does'' get to hear his screams as the dozens of maids and butlers he spat on and insulted walk ominously towards him, [[Glowing Eyes of Doom|eyes glowing angrily....]]
** Akiho kicking Gento's ass in Episode 12.
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]] - Hazuki is noted for these. In the quote below, she startles Yuuto, Haruka, Mika ... and fellow maid Nanami.
{{quote|
* [[The Stoic]] - Hazuki, even when she's falling-down drunk.
** [[Not So Stoic]]: In Chapter 15 of the manga, Gento says ''something'' to Haruka that makes her fall to her knees in tears, prompting a '''''murderous''''' glare from Hazuki.
* [[Suggestive Collision]] - Yuuto pushes Shiina out of the way of a falling sign, they wind up in a lewd position with an [[Accidental Kiss]] on top of it -- [[Not What It Looks Like|just in time for Haruka to walk through the door]].
** Touka winds up sat on his face.
** Haruka falls on top of him half naked while re-tying her kimono. Surprisingly they are not discovered like this; their kiss is interrupted by a falling rake.
* [[Sunglasses
* [[Super-Deformed]] - Haruka frequently shifts into this style.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]] - Happens once in episode 11 of Season 1, after Yukari claims that Haruka needs CPR from Yuuto to revive her. The maids and Mika all agree as well, then jokingly deny that they were trying to see the couple's first kiss.
Line 222:
* [[Twelve-Episode Anime]] - Both seasons, even.
* [[Unwanted Harem]] - Yuuto has a small one forming around him. Haruka is already a given (and is probably [[First Girl Wins|the only one whose affections he will ever reciprocate]]); Shiina is attracted to him, but [[Love Triangle|can't decide]] between him [[Les Yay|and Haruka]]; Yukari is [[Hot for Student|hitting on him (to no avail)]]; matchmakers Hazuki and Nanami are [[Matchmaker Crush|developing crushes on him]]; Alice [[Because You Were Nice to Me|treats him as her "onii-chan"]]; Mika apparently has the hots for him; and then there's [[Tsundere|Touka]].
* [[Uptown Girl]]: Haruka hails from a ridiculously wealthy and powerful family; lower-middle-class Yuuto becomes her confidant when he accidentally discovers her [[Otaku]] side. They initially enter into a Type-1 relationship, but as Yuuto realizes [[Fiction 500|HOW wealthy]] her family is, and what kind of people she usually rubs elbows with (not to mention what kind of men are vying for her hand in marriage), he slips into Type-3 as he starts to feel 'unworthy' of her. [[Knight Templar Parent|Gento]] agrees; Akiho [[Let Her Grow Up, Dear|thinks otherwise]], as do Mika, Hazuki, Nanami and Alice.
* [[Verbal Tic]] - Not as overused as a certain ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'', but Nanami does occasionally follow up Mika's sentences with ''desu''
* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]] - After Yuuto helped snap Haruka out of her [[Heroic BSOD]], a random student starts mocking him as they walk to school the next day. He tells Haruka that she should hang out with him instead of Yuuto, and mocks him some more. Haruka [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|responds by throwing him into the nearest tree]], and then telling him that the anime catalog was in fact hers.
