Line 6:
== This show contains examples of: ==
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The manga consists largely of Japanese word jokes, but only some surrounding Kate found their way into the anime.
* [[Adult Child]]: Kasugano-sensei
* [[All in a Row]]
Line 13:
* [[Author Appeal]]: The mangaka seems to be quite fond of cats and apparently knows quite a bit about animals in general -- especially bugs and fish.
* [[Balloon Belly]]: Natsumi in episode 12.
* [[Beautiful All Along]]: When Tsukiyo puts up her hair in the manga, nobody recognizes the girl with the pretty face.
** Add Asaka to the list as well when she untied her hair.
* [[Blinding Bangs]]: Tsukiyo.
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Ryou and Fuu, they are talking to the audience, which only confuses the other characters a little, as they are known as "eccentric".
* [[Canada, Eh?]]: Kate
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: Minamo, Daichi's little sister, first appeared in the anime adaptation, but was re-introduced into the manga about two years later, in chapter 97.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Sora's "uh huh".
* [[Cat Smile]]: Kurihara Nagisa is never seen without one
* [[Character Development]]: EVERY single character goes through this, but it applies most to Sora. {{spoiler|Compare to how she introduces herself to Natsumi, Hazuki, and Kate to how she introduces herself to the waitress at the diner in the last episode}}.
* [[Charm Point]]: Mentioned in Kuma's first scene
* [[Cherry Blossoms]]: One of the funniest scenes involves a cherry blossom viewing party.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Ryou and Fuu, although most of the cast is a bit wacky.
** Arguably Sora fits just as well.
Line 29:
** Kokage has her moments as well.
** In fact, it'd probably be faster to list the characters who ''aren't'' [[Cloudcuckoolander|Cloudcuckoolanders]].
* [[Cute and Psycho]]: Played for laughs when Kurihara introduces a kind of planarian and mentions that it can regenerate parts of it that get cut off. Kate [[Actor Allusion|promptly pulls out a]] [[
{{quote|'''Narration box:''' Kate had a very angelic smile.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Kokage.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Tsukiyo Ooba's role, already not that big in the manga, has been assigned only a few seconds of spoken dialogue in the anime--which is a shame, since she is a genuinely funny character.
* [[Everything's Better with Chickens]]: P-chan, Kasugano-sensei's pet
Line 41:
* [[Festival Episode]]
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]: Subverted in that the cats don't view Sora as such. Double subverted at the end of episode 11. Played straight with Kurihara's love for all things living.
* [[Kansai Regional Accent|Fukuoka Regional Accent]]: Natsumi. Strange enough, nobody else talks this way, even though the series takes place in Fukuoka.
* [[Fear of Thunder]]: Natsumi
* [[Surname First Name Surname|First Name Surname First Name]]: In the final episode, {{spoiler|this is how Sora introduces herself to the waitress.}}
Line 50:
* [[Goldfish Scooping Game]]: Sora decides to think of it as "goldfish saving" (the same in Japanese). She then decides it sounds better without the "goldfish" part.
* [[High School Rocks]]: Sora's fellow students may be eccentric, but they're also absolute sweethearts.
* [[Hive Mind]]: Ryou and Fuu, elevated to sometimes creepy levels in the anime.
* [[Huge Schoolgirl]]: Juju, although it doesn't particularly bother her or the others.
* [[Inner Monologue]]: The main reason Sora even needs a voice actor.
* [[Iyashikei]]
* [[Kewpie Doll Surprise]]
* [[Kindhearted Cat Lover]]: Sora doesn't have a cat, though a few of her friends do, but is your typical [[Friend to All Living Things]]...but the kid keeps giving them expired food, which her brother calls her out on. so this might be subverted in the cats' eyes until she realizes her error.
* [[Large Ham]]: Tsukiyo tends to be... rather melodramatic
* [[Last-Episode New Character]]: Tsukiyo and Soyogi-sensei.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Sora" means "sky". Sora's brother is called "Ao", which means "blue". Do the math...
* [[Mega Neko]]: Kuma
* [[Nakama]]
* [[No Cartoon Fish]]: see episode 2's crayfish
* [[No Communities Were Harmed]]: Although never mentioned explicitly, the series appears to take place in Shime, Fukuoka.
* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]
* [[No Mouth]]: Kokage
Line 69:
* [[Picture Drama]]
* [[Scenery Porn]]
* [[Schoolgirl Series]]: There are a few male characters, but both adaptions, especially the TV one, focus on Sora, Hazuki, and Natsumi. Kasugano's [[Adult Child]] personality and the focus on the wackiness of the art room cement this series as a Schoolgirl one.
* [[Sensei-chan]]: Kasugano-sensei.
* [[Shout-Out]]: To ''[[Aria]]'', with the "president" of the Aria Company as the mascot of a bowling center. Also, at the very end of the last episode, there's a [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/Sketchbook%20Full%20Colors%2013%2024.26.jpg picture] of President Aria and Akari meeting Mike and Sora.
Line 80:
* [[The Quiet One]]: Sora, who's actually the protagonist. Though she does [[Inner Monologue]] to the audience quite often.
** In the manga, there's no confirmation as to whether or not she ever speaks at all. None of her dialogue (if it is that) is conveyed with speech bubbles.
* [[Token Mini-Moe]]: Minamo.
* [[Thirteen Episode Anime]]
* [[Two-Teacher School]]
