Line 29:
** There's also Ryuji from "Thrill", obviously parodying Shonen series.
** Karizou Moriyama from "Julia ni Heartbreak" makes [[Anime Hair]] as a ''career''.
* [[Animeland]] / [[Planet Eris]]: There are [[Humongous Mecha]], [[Kaiju]], [[Wolf Man|werewolves]], [[Our Ghosts Are Different|ghosts]], [[Colony Drop|occasional world]]-[[Solar CPR|ending catastrophes]] and more concentrated in a [[Tokyo Is the Center of Thethe Universe|small part of Tokyo]]. Of course, that doesn't mean the ''[[Elite Beat Agents|rest]]'' of the world is perfectly normal.
* [[Anime Theme Song]]: Every level is backed by a different song, which has varying amounts of relevance to the action.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: What the girls in Hiroshi's class do if you fail "Atsuki Kodou no Hate". They call him a lewd old man, a pervert teacher, a person who doesn't wash his clothes... and an idiot.
* [[Art Evolution]]: The sequel features somewhat less cartoony proportions.
* [[Anti -Frustration Features]]: In the sequel, if you run out of health on Easy mode, the Hard mode cheerleader for the team you are currently playing as shows up and revives you with about 3/4 of your health so that you can continue the song. Run out of health again in the same song though, and it's [[Game Over]]. Of course, it won't work on the final levels, so you're on your own for that.
* [[Artificial Riverbank]]
* [[Badass Arm-Fold]]: The guys in Yuuhi do this before starting a song.
Line 39:
* [[Badass Cape]]: Kiryuuin Kaoru, his blue team counterpart, has a rather nice cape when he isn't cheering.
* [[Battle Aura]]
* [[Battle in Thethe Center of Thethe Mind]]: Takuya has to face all sorts of dilemmas in his mind, or else he'll wet his pants. Of course, [[Real Dreams Are Weirder]], so the situations include the [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo|not-]][[Super Mario Bros.|Mario Brothers]] fixing pipes and giant sumo plugging dams in an [[Amazing Technicolor Battlefield]].
* [[Beast and Beauty]]: No matter what you do, [[Meaningful Name|Goro Okami's]] girlfriend will eventually find out he's a werewolf. Fortunately, she thinks he's adorable like that.
** Though it might imply she's actually into furries if the player gets the good ending.
Line 86:
* [[Disappears Into Light]]: Rina does this at the end of "Believe".
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: The game overs for the last level involve the team(s) you cheered with [[Go Out with a Smile|smiling]]. You know, after completely freaking out over the fact that the world is going to end and you couldn't do a damn thing about it.
* [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]]: Momotaro if you fail one section of "Shounen Heart".
* [[Distressed Dude]]: JIN 2, who even in the final stage of OTO 2 needs to be saved by his middle aged fangirls from an incoming ice rain.
* [[The Ditz]]: If you notice, the [[Meganekko]] cheerleader girl Aoi Kanda just can't do anything right outside cheerleading, though [[All There in the Manual|she's supposed to be able to speak around seven languages fluently.]]
Line 95:
* [[Eiffel Tower Effect]]: Both games use this to show the all the world's people cheering together during their respective final levels. The [[Eagle Land|Statue of Liberty]] in particular shows up in both.
* [[Epic Hail]]: Can you shout "Ou-en-DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"?
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Monkeys]]: And what better way to illustrate this trope than the song "Monkey Magic," featuring a plush monkey that wants to get back to its owner?
** "Go My Way" has some monkeys in the opening scene, with the most appearing [[All Men Are Perverts|near Sayaka.]]
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Spinning]]: Inverted. Spinning makes everything ''worse'' in this series, at least from the [[Scrappy Mechanic|player's perspective.]]
* [[Cute Kitten]]: The cat has been a staple of the games, and even becomes a playable character if you cheer on the final level with the [[Elite Beat Agents]].
* [[Precious Puppies]]: The Nobility have a pet dog that appears in some levels.
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bears]]: There's one that appears in the sequel during the "Go My Way" level, where your target has to ''wrestle it'' into submission. It later appears in a cutscene in Hard Mode in one of the game's more... [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|memorable moments]]. [[Mood Whiplash|Right before the sad level.]]
* [[Expository Theme Tune]]: The tutorial theme basically translates to "Cheer, cheer, cheer! Put your fighting spirit into it! Cheer, cheer, cheer! We are the Ouendan!
* [[Fan Boy]]: Takuya from the same game seems to really like Ebi-yama, a sumo that you help cheer on. Not only does a dream version of him appear in the stage Takuya is in, the kid even has an Ebi-yama T-shirt and poster in his room.
Line 116:
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Lots of times.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]] / [[Every Girl Is Cuter With Hair Decs]]: Both "cute" cheergirls hit both tropes, and the Nobility girls all have some sort of hair accessory.
* [[Girls Withwith Moustaches]]: Reika dons a fake one in "Samurai Blue".
* [[Gonk]]: JIN2's fangirls. Christine Kamogawa's design counts as well, looking almost [[wikipedia:Superflat|superflat]] compared to the more generic supporting cast.
* [[Gratuitous English]]
Line 142:
* [[Look Both Ways]]: Rina sure didn't.
* [[Loudspeaker Truck]]
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: The lyrics to some of the songs don't really fit as well as they should. Some border on [[Intercourse Withwith You]].
* [[Madness Mantra]]: Christine Kamogawa starts frantically typing "Ouendan" repeatedly before yelling for them.
* [[Magic Skirt]]: Compared to the first game, the sequel features next to no chances for any accidental [[Panty Shot|Panty Shots]].
Line 159:
* [[Minimalistic Cover Art]]: The first game's cover art leans toward this trope. Conversely, the second game's leans towards the [[Design Student's Orgasm|opposite direction]].
* [[Moment Killer]]: Tan Yao can be a '''huge''' cockblock on certain levels.
* [[Mondegreen]]: The loud drum beats can seriously distort what some of the singers are saying, but even without them, people mistake "Can you master baby?" from One Night Carnival for... [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms|something else]]. There's also "I wanna be a Pop Tart" for "I wanna be a Pop Star."
* [[Moral Dissonance]]: Cleopatra stage: You cheer on Cleopatra so she can order her slaves around greatly!? Well, at least they get as fired up as she does...
** But what happens if you play the stage poorly? A hilarious bit of physical comedy, as with every other stage? No, the slaves die. Cue the uncomfortable laugh.
Line 175:
* [[No Name Given]]: The announcer has no given name, so everyone calls him... [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|announcer]].
* [[Nostalgia Level]]: The second game's first level is almost exactly like the first game's, except with job applications instead of entrance exams. The target even looks the same despite [[Art Evolution]].
* [[Ocular Gushers]]: The Ouendan's [[Manly Tears|MANLY TEARS]] in break scenes at the last stage of each game.
* [[Office Lady]]: Sachiko in the "Koi no Dance Site" stage of OTO 1.
* [[Old Superhero]]: Momotaro in the "Shonen Heart" stage of OTO 2.
Line 182:
* [[Our Werewolves Are Different]]: They change if they see ''anything'' round.
* [[Panty Shot]]: The female cheerleaders; especially noticeable in the first game.
* [[Partly Cloudy Withwith a Chance of Death]]: It rains right before the [[Tear Jerker]] of the second game.
* [[Pastel-Chalked Freeze-Frame]]: Any time something sufficiently [[Hot-Blooded]] happens.
* [[Pettanko]]: Aoi seems to have the smallest chest out of all the cheergirls. This wouldn't be too notable, except that by the sequel they should all be in their 20s at the very least and she looks like [http://lparchive.org/Osu-Tatakae-Ouendan-2/Images/22-aoifull.gif this].
Line 207:
** There are also the plumbers [[Super Mario Brothers|that totally do not represent any other Nintendo-made plumbers in any way]] in "Bambina".
** "Taiyou ga Moete iru" has a main character who's powers are similar to [[Ultraman]]'s.
** The multiplayer tennis stage in the sequel could be seen as a shout-out to ''[[Aim for Thethe Ace (Manga)!|Aim for The Ace]]''.
** Doumeki Kai's name is a reference to ''[[Cromartie High School]]'', one of the main influences of the art style.
* [[Shy Blue-Haired Girl]]: Reika has the looks of one combined with [[The Ojou]]. [[All There in the Manual|Her profile]] states that she had just recently tried ''instant ramen''.
