Line 35:
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]
* [[Black Comedy]] -- Along with [[Gallows Humor]] below, there's a sequence in the manga where {{spoiler|after Chise and Shuji run away and start hitchhiking, they eventually get picked up by a military truck. Chise says off-handedly that everyone that knows what she actually is is already dead. The punch line to this is that the soldiers on the truck DO recognize Chise and know what she is and have a collective [[Oh Crap]] in their thought bubbles.}}
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]
* [[Body Horror]] -- Chise's uncanny body.
* [[Broken Bird]] -- Fuyumi.
Line 57:
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]
* [[Emotionless Girl]] -- Subverted. {{spoiler|Near the end, Chise ''does'' have emotions, but she doesn't quite understand them.}}
* [[The End of the World Asas We Know It]] -- Set [[Just Before the End]].
* [[Face Fault]]
* [[Fan Disservice]] -- Usually involves Chise's scars and lack of control over her transformation.
Line 76:
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]
* [[It Got Worse]] -- repeatedly
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] -- Shuuji. He gets better.
* [[Just Before the End]]
* [[Kill'Em All]] -- This series gives ''[[Space Runaway Ideon]]'' a run for its money in a quarter of the episodes.
Line 106:
* [[Poor Communication Kills]] -- Double subversion {{spoiler|we learn fairly early on that some soldiers speak English. Then Tetsu meets up with soldiers and tries to talk them down in English. They don't understand English.}}
* [[Raging Stiffie]] -- Manga-only; Shuji.
* [[Rape Asas Drama]] -- In a recent volume of [[Omake|canon stories happening in the universe of Saikano]], one story focuses on the relationship between a teen soldier and a girl who got raped by soldiers from the other side. Particularly jarring since {{spoiler|he waited for them to be finished before he killed them because he knew they'd feel 'spent' after sex. And since they supposedly fall in love he convinces the girl to have sex with him while she doesn't want to}}.
* [[Rule of Cool]] -- Let's face it, a moe with tech wings is ''cool''.
* [[Schrodingers Cat]] -- In the manga, one of Shuji's friends goes deaf during the first bombing. In the anime, said friend bites it (though from how little he gets featured in the manga, he might as well have died).
Line 124:
* [[Super Soldier]]
* [[Surprisingly Good English]] -- The most noticeable use of English was from invading soldiers, who spoke passable (if noticeably accented) American English.
* [[Ten -Minute Retirement]] -- When Chise {{spoiler|dies}}.
* [[There Are No Therapists]]
* [[There Is No Higher Court]] - Girl changed into weapon without her knowledge or consent. No one bats an eye.
