Line 4:
Konami's combination of its own ''Parodius'' and ''Gradius'' series. A lighthearted [[Self-Parody]], ''Otomedius'' is a [[Cute
Anoa Aoba, a second year high school student, is approached by a mysterious organization and offered a chance to pilot Vic Viper. While you might expect a [[Cool Plane]], this one is less a plane and more a [[Rule of Cool|flying motorcycle]]. She's also introduced to the other "Angels" who form up the [[Five-Man Band]].
What follows is adventure. [[Hey,
Compare ''[[Parodius]]'', which is Konami's older and much [[This Is Your Premise On Drugs|weirder]] take on the [[Cute
If there isn't an Everything Is Better With Boobs trope, there should be, because this series ''lives in it''. How about Refuge in Cleavage?
Line 45:
*** Madoka has changed her outfit. It's still not the default G look, but it's not her school outfit either.
** Even their school uniforms are somewhat customized, decorated with colored ribbons according to their class. Green ribbons are First-Year, Red ribbons are Second-Year, and Yellow ribbons are Third-Year.
* [[Cute
* [[Downloadable Content]] - The only way to get Stage 4, Esmeralda, and Poini Kune.
** All of the Character-specific soundtracks are also DLC.
Line 75:
-<br />
'''Poini Kune:''' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TJpPCldc0I "Crush all of them!"] }}
** If some of Poini's quotes sound familiar, that's because she [[Mythology Gag|loves to quote]] [[Shout
*** And sometimes, the actual names of stages. When entering Easter Island, Poini occasionally declares "Ruins of Silence~!" She also does this in the jungle ruins stage of ''Excellent''.
* [[Hitbox Dissonance]] - The player characters all have hitboxes smaller than their graphics. Without this, you would die a ''lot'' more often. [[Bullet Hell]] and all.
Line 93:
* [[Replacement Goldfish]] - {{spoiler|Gesshi and Kokoro join the team to [[Put On a Bus|replace Emon]].}}
* [[Rule 34]] - It didn't take long for artists to notice that Diol Twee has tentacles.
* [[Schizo
** Somewhat justified, the Riding Vipers were built by "G", an alien organization from a far more advanced civilization.
* [[Sequel First]] - ''Otomedius''/''Otomedius Gorgeous'' remain Japan-Only, while the sequel ''Otomedius Excellent'' is migrating across the pond to America and Europe.
* [[Shoot'Em Up]] - While also a Cute Em Up, ''Otomedius'' has enough of a plot to stand on its own rather than hiding in audacity and cultural in-jokes.
* [[Shout
* [[Super Move Portrait Attack]] - The playable characters can initiate special moves termed P-Burst and D-Burst. After [[Calling Your Attacks|Shouting it out]] over their portrait, the character burns a P-Burst charge to clear the screen. A D-Burst, by contrast, is a character-specific super attack with a charge time, and is generally a [[Game Breaker]] when used on bosses.
