''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 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
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 25:
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Geobaldi, toned down from his [[Blood Knight]] introduction in the manga.
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: Battia has elements of this.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: In the manga, the Emperor resorts to [[Laser
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Tetsuya
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: [[Averted Trope|Averted]] with Kahm and Battia. Possibly played straight with Geobaldi, but is not made clear.
Line 39:
* {{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
* {{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]].
Line 50:
* {{spoiler|[[Glad to Be Alive Sex]]: Tetsuya gets his happy ending.}}
* [[Gratuitous English]]: In the theme song.
* [[Green
* [[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|of Humanity]]. Even among the rebels, {{spoiler|Geobaldi}} has no problems {{spoiler|destroying New York City and Washington D.C.}}
* [[Half
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Geobaldi after being convinced by Tetsuya and [[Double Subverted]] with}} Raika. {{spoiler|See [[Shipper On 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
* [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]]: Geobaldi
* {{spoiler|[[Kill
* [[Laser
* {{spoiler|[[Last of His Kind]]: Tetsuya by the end of the entire series is the last human alive.}}
* [[Load
* [[Love At First Sight]]: More or less what happens between Kahm and Tetsuya, at least in the anime. (The manga is somewhere between [[Best Her to Bed Her]] and [[Fire
* [[Love
* [[Magic Kiss]]: Kahm gives Tetsuya the ability to understand her alien language with a kiss, which she says is a simple spell. Though later they cast an area-effect version of the spell, probably so Kahm didn't have kiss the entire [[Fish People|Nuba tribe]].
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Geobaldi, is [[Named After Somebody Famous|named after]] Italian folk hero and revolutionary warrior '''Giu'''seppe Gari'''baldi'''. Guess who he ends up fighting for? His [[Number Two]] is Gari, of course.
Line 77:
* [[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 On 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.
* [[Super
* [[Sword Fight]]: Several.
* [[Squee]]: Kahm's reaction to Tetsuya coming to her rescue. Almost results in [[Rescue Sex]].
