Several centuries after an almost-failed colony attempt, the planet Terra II is a strange place. Its human population is entirely male, born from recombinant DNA and cloning technology, and its hostile surface is home to six widely-separated city-states, each [[Hollywood Atlas|mimicking an earthly culture]] ranging from medieval Japan to 20th-Century America. Women have not been forgotten among the men of Terra II, though -- simple-minded automatons called "marionettes" are built in exclusively female form, and act as servants, entertainers, concubines -- and in some cases, infantry troops.

Has a [[Saber Marionette J/Characters|character sheet]] for the four installments, in desperate need of some [[Needs Wiki Magic Love|wiki magic love]].

▲{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl|Action Marionette]]: Several of them.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: [[Harem Anime|Planet full of men but not women]], good amount of [[Running Gag|Running Gags]], [[Yaoi|Homosexuality is considered]] [[Double Standard|the standard while liking female androids is out of the question]], and it doesn't always remain a comedy. Parody of [[Shonen]]? You bet.
Line 50:
** [[Olive Garden]]: Romana
** [[Shangri La]]: Xi'an
** [[Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo]]
** [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: Gartland
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: The marionettes at times when using one of their battle functions.
* [[Hollywood Science]]: Bogus genetics.
* [[Hotter and Sexier]]: The manga version, which brought up the [[Hand Wave|question]] about why bother making them anatomically correct if you're going to make loving them socially taboo... (Bloodberry's pair of [[Gag Boobs]] are but '''two''' of many unending examples...and Lime is introduced
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The Japoness' Guard and Gartland's Sabbelberg are the main qualifiers.
* [[Idiot Ball]]: Possibly every character has one.

* [[Impossibly Cool Clothes]]
* [[Kill Sat]]: {{spoiler|The ''Mesopotamia'', the colony ship, can function as one.}}
* [[Last of His Kind|Last Of Her Kind]]: Lorelei is the only female human in the entire series. {{spoiler|At least, until Lime, Cherry, and Bloodberry turned human at the end of ''J to X''.}}
* [[Lethal Chef]]: In one episode of ''J'', there is a cooking contest involving the Otaru's Marionettes and the Saber Dolls. The only marionette to successfully avoid this trope was Cherry (of course, being a [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] and all). Lime's unpredictability and Tiger's fan-service were able to obtain points even though their cooking was obviously less than par.
* [[Love At First Sight]]: Marionettes with Maiden Circuits experience this with the first <s>man</s> <s>person</s> thing they see upon activating.
* [[Lover Tug of War]]
Line 72:
* [[The Psycho Rangers]]: The Saber Dolls for the J series. The Sexa Dolls for the R OVA.

** And what about Marine? Simple: {{spoiler|she was built with an anti-plasma system and plasma manipulation abilities, which were given to her to prevent the menacing disaster towards Terra II... [[Heroic Sacrifice|even at the cost of her life]]. She survives that, though}}.
** And finally, who the hell was Hess? Answer: {{spoiler|the first man
** As for the ''R'' OVA, {{spoiler|all Romana Viceroys are clones of the original Romana King, including Star Face -- except for Junior, who is an actual son of the previous viceroy and born to a human mother. It's enough to [[Driven to Suicide|drive Star Face
