Line 10:
Combining elements of horror, music -- the girls occasionally break into song -- and teen drama, ''[[Red Garden]]'' takes a very different approach to the girls-fighting-monsters genre.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]: Grace.
Line 17 ⟶ 18:
* [[Animation Bump]]: The last episode is noticeably better looking than the others.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Herve just wants to save his family from its curse.
* [[Artistic Title]]: Averted so hard. The opening is made of stylized silhouettes of the girls and the city, giving a light cosmopolitan feel akin to [[Sex and the City]]. The show has a [[Mind Screw|different mood]] though.
* [[Back
* [[Bait and Switch Credits]]: The opening credits are pretty floral silhouettes accompanied by a pleasant girlish song. The show, on the other hand, is ''dark''.
* [[Big Applesauce]]
Line 37 ⟶ 39:
* [[Cultured Badass]]: Claire listens to [[Classical Music]], really LOUD.
* [[Dark Magical Girl]]
* [[Dark-Skinned Blond]]: Randy and Dr. Bender.
* [[Dating Catwoman]]: Kate ends up dating Herve. She's oblivious about who he is for a several episodes, but he knows from the start - it's why he pursued her in the first place.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Lula
Line 54 ⟶ 56:
* [[Four-Girl Ensemble]]
* [[Fridge Logic]]: Why could J.C. fight the way he did? It's clearly stated that only women become Animus, and he wasn't part of the Delor clan.
* [[Fur Against Fang]]: It's the tiniest bit of a stretch, but the [[Our Vampires Are Different|Animus]] and the [[Our Werewolves Are Different|Delor clan]] can be seen as [[Our Vampires Are Different]] and [[Our Werewolves Are Different]] respectively. A clan of people that have [[Immortality]] are [[The Undead|dead,]] and have [[Super Strength|super-human-strength,]] which also reproduce by [[The Virus|reviving the dead]], and have a [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|thirst that can only be quenched by]] [[Bait and Switch|lemons]]. Where as the Delor clan is full of [[Wolf Man|beast-men]] with [[Prophet Eyes|glowing eyes]] and [[Fangs Are Evil|sharp teeth]] who [[Primal Stance|run around on all fours]] and systematically [[Freak-Out|go crazy]] at [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|designated times]] in their lives.
** This may just be [[Wild Mass Guessing]] but the reason Red Garden isn't [[Genius Bonus|marketed as]] [[Fur Against Fang|FAF]] might be because while it is the short and narrow, in order to attract [[Shojo|a larger female following]] the [[Fur Against Fang|FAF]] setting was wisely omitted in advertisements when one considers the art style and focus on the [[I Just Want to Be Normal|main characters.]]
* ¨[[Genre Shift]]: The OVA features sci-fi stuff such as [[Humongous Mecha|Humongous Mechas]] and flying cars. Justified because it takes hundreds of years after the events of the original series.
* [[Girl Posse]]
Line 70 ⟶ 72:
* [[Incurable Cough of Death]]
* [[Jigsaw Puzzle Plot]]
* [[Karmic Death]]: {{spoiler|Raul, Dr. Bender and Hervé especially.}}
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: {{spoiler|Just about every member of both clans bar the four main girls, and the two detectives.}}
* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]
* [[Les Yay]]: The first episode has Kate pining for Lise on a very -- personal level. And at times, Paula seems very close to Kate -- ''very'' close. This goes into [[Anvilicious]] territory from episode 18 onwards.
* [[Limited Social Circle]]: Much of the show deals with the heroines' escalating ostracism from their old social groups and their varying efforts to stay in contact with their old lives.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Averted; most of the girls wear different clothes everyday. Even Kate, who wears her Grace uniform more than anything, wears unique outfits outside of school.
Line 82 ⟶ 84:
* [[Minion with an F In Evil]]: Emilio
* [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate]]: The pharmaceutical company Vivaleo.
* [[Names to Know
** [[Brittney Karbowski]]: Rose
** [[Miyuki Sawashiro]]: Claire
Line 134 ⟶ 136:
