Line 2: [[File:Outlanders15_6301.jpg\|frame]] ''Outlanders'' (アウトランダーズ, Autorandāzu) is a [[Manga]] written by [[Johji Manabe]], best described as a [[Space Opera]] with a strong dose of [[Science Fantasy]], an [[Action Girlfriend]] and a whole heaping load of [[Fan Service]]. It tells the story of the alien Princess Kahm and [[Tokyo Is the Center of ~~The~~the Universe\|Tokyo News Photographer]] Tetsuya Wakatsuki as they try to save the earth from the invading forces of the interstellar [[The Empire\|Santovasku Empire.]] [[Love-Obstructing Parents\|Oh, and Kahm's father is the emperor.]] The Santovasku (referred to as Saint Evascureze in the [[Original Video Animation\|OVA]]) use giant techno-organic spaceships, or "Biomechs," and they utilize both their [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens\|advanced technology]] as well as their [[Magic Knight\|mastery of sorcery]] in their assault on Earth. The manga was distributed by [[Dark Horse Comics]] in the United States prior to the expiration of their license on the property. The Dark Horse version was translated by Toren Smith of Studio Proteus. There is also an ''Outlanders'' [[Original Video Animation\|OVA]], produced by [[AIC]] on behalf of [[Tatsunoko Production]] and is not listed on Tatsunoko's web site. In 2005, [[Central Park Media]] released a remastered version of the [[Original Video Animation\|OVA]] with new voice actors. A poll was conducted to select said actors, with fans selecting who they wished to voice the characters. Line 10: The OVA [[Adaptation Distillation\|condenses roughly the first half of the series into a single self-contained episode less than an hour in length; all but the main story elements, in addition to most of the non-essential characters, are subsequently dispensed with.]] [[I Thought It Meant\|This should not be confused with]] the ''Outlanders'' novel series by Mark Ellis, spun off from the ''[[~~Deathlands (Literature)\|~~Deathlands]]'' series of post-apocalyptic novels. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''Outlanders'' provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Action Girl]]: Kahm and her best friend, Battia. Line 35: ** He also drew chibi versions of himself as extras in the manga. * [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Sick of Geobaldi calling him a monkey, Tetsuya uses Kahm's sword to attack him, only to be slashed to ribbons. Kahm is forced to employ a secret healing technique to save him afterwards. The incident is not mentioned again. * [[~~Distressed~~ Damsel in Distress]]: Kahm briefly becomes one of these after bringing Tetsuya to meet her father. It didn't go well. * [[The Dulcinea Effect]]: Tetsuya quickly succumbs to this. * {{spoiler\|[[Dwindling Party]]: Battia, Gerobaldi and Raika all die in that order when trying to rescue Kahm, after Earth's Destruction.}} * {{spoiler\|[[Earthshattering Kaboom]]: Ironically this is not applied to the Earth's Destruction. This however applies to the Destruction of the Santovasku Empire.}} * [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: In the manga. {{spoiler\|[[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies\|Considering]] [[Dwindling Party\|what]] [[Earthshattering Kaboom\|happened]] [[Last of His Kind\|it]] [[Kill'Em All\|may be]] [[Everyone Comes Back Fantasy Party Ending\|somewhat]] [[Bittersweet Ending\|bittersweet]].}} * {{spoiler\|[[Everyone Comes Back Fantasy Party Ending]]:}} The special epilogue to the manga. * [[Expy]]: A green-haired alien princess with horns and a bikini comes to Earth with her father's invasion fleet, and then decides on a whim to marry a Japanese boy after he sees her topless. If that's not familiar enough, she's named Kaamu (instead of Ramu) in Japanese. The major difference is ''[[~~Urusei Yatsura (Manga)\|~~Urusei Yatsura]]'' plays the whole alien invasion angle for comedy, and it's all but forgotten by the [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot\|end of chapter two]]. * [[First Girl Wins\|First Guy Wins]]: Tetsuya is the first human male Kahm meets that isn't ugly and trying to kill her. * [[Fan Service]]: ''Rampant''. * [[Fish People]]: Nao and the entire Nuba tribe. They're not aquatic, but still. * [[Five Rounds Rapid]]: Early in the OVA, Kahm lands her ship on Earth while being attacked by the military, presumably the [[JSDF]]. Her ship wipes the floor with them. After personally slaughtering a whole squad with only her sword and [[Chainmail Bikini]], she bumps into Tetsuya taking pictures of the action. [[~~Big~~Non ~~Lipped~~Sequitur ~~Alligator Moment~~Scene\|Cue plot and no further mention of the destruction.]] * [[Funny Animal]]: Geobaldi, a starship captain and [[Master Swordsman]] implied to be from a world enthralled by [[The Empire]]. * [[Furo Scene]]: Sort of, as the scene is an actual bath as opposed to a soaking bit. * {{spoiler\|[["Glad to Be Alive" Sex]]: Tetsuya gets his happy ending.}} * [[Gratuitous English]]: In the theme song. * [[Green-Skinned Space Babe\|Green-Haired Space Babe:]] Kahm * [[Grey and Grey Morality]]: [[Up to Eleven\|More like the]] [[Blue and Orange Morality]] of the [[The Empire\|Santovasku Empire]] vs. the [[Fantastic Racism]] [[Humans Are ~~Bastards~~the Real Monsters\|of Humanity]]. Even among the rebels, {{spoiler\|Geobaldi}} has no problems {{spoiler\|destroying New York City and Washington D.C.}} * [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: The implied result of Kahm and Tetsuya's relationship. {{spoiler\|Not just ''implied'' in the manga.}} * [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler\|Geobaldi after being convinced by Tetsuya and [[Double Subverted]] with}} Raika. {{spoiler\|See [[Shipper Onon Deck]].}} * [[Horned Humanoid]]: All of the Santovasku royals, but Kahm's horns are much cuter than her father's. * [[Hot Amazon]]: Kahm and Battia again. The OVA basically runs on this and [[Action Girlfriend]]. * [[Insignificant Little Blue Planet]] * [[Interspecies Romance]]: Well, duh. As Tetsuya discovers first-hand after accidentally depriving her of her [[Modesty Towel]], and in subsequent encounters, he and Kahm are not only [[Male -to -Female Universal Adaptor\|anatomically compatible]], but also [[Half-Human Hybrid\|biologically.]] * [[Jerk ~~With~~with a Heart of Gold]]: Geobaldi * {{spoiler\|[[Kill'Em All]]: The only characters to survive the entire series are Kahm, Tetsuya, and the main crew of the Rha Ledaruba.}} * [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]: {{spoiler\|Princess Kahm briefly forgets Tetsuya and tries to kill him (again)}}, due to the magic of the Santrov Emperor. Line 74: * [[Rescue Sex]]: Almost happens, but is [[Moment Killer\|stopped]] by Battia and Geobaldi reminding them that they still have a nigh-impossible escape to execute. * [[The Rival]]: Battia's intial appearance leads to a [[Sword Fight]] with her friend Kahm, but we quickly discover she's more of [[The Lancer]]. * {{spoiler\|[[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies]]: Literally, more like [[Up to Eleven\|The Moon Falls, Humanity Dies]]. Also happens to the Santrovasku Imperial Planet.}} * [[Rubber Forehead Aliens]]: Mostly. Kahm only has a pair of horns that wrap around her hair, and Battia has [[Catgirl\|cat ears.]] Then there's [[Funny Animal\|Geobaldi.]] {{spoiler\|Justified in that they originally came from Earth.}} * [[Shameless Fanservice Girl]]: Kham, of course. * [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Raika, the German girl from the manga. {{spoiler\|She sneaks aboard Kahm's flagship to try to kill her, and ends up coming out of hiding after listening to the Emperor offer to leave Earth alone if Tetsuya leaves Kahm -- just to deliver a [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]. She immediately starts working on arranging the wedding ceremonies.}} * [[Slap Slap Kiss]]: How Kahm and Tetsuya meet. The kiss confers Kahm's language to Tetsuya. * [[Small Annoying Creature]]: Kahm's personal staff includes two [[Star Wars\|Yoda-sized]] frog-creatures and their three children. [[The Matchmaker\|the woman offers Kahm advice]] on how to court Tetsuya during the [[Furo Scene]]. The couple's catchphrase is "Leave them alone", in reference to our favorite green-haired space princess and her squeeze.
