Sky Girls: Difference between revisions

* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]: That little ghost-boy on the hilltop in the first episode, and in the Oppama base, seems to look a lot like a certain someone's missing brother...

* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Otoha is a great fisher(wo)man. This enables her to solve the hunger woes of the crew of Kouryuu. Also, she is apparently a survivalist; when the team gets stranded in an island, Otoha knows exactly which fruits are edible and the not-so-edible ones.

'''Eika''': *pales* }}

* [[Child Soldiers]]: Justified by 90% of the male population between 20 and 30 being dead due to the first war and ensuing holocaust.

* [[Genki Girl]]: Otoha is always enthusiastic. {{spoiler|When her morale finally hits rock bottom at the end of the season, it takes a very serious effort to bring her up again}}.

* [[Girlfriend in Canada]]: Eika claims to have a boyfriend. She refuses to give details, to Elise's dismay.

'''Eika''': *[[Blatant Lies|ahem]]* [[Gratuitous English|No comment]]. }}

* [[Gratuitous English]]: The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IADVWJ8K-w opening theme] [http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/skygirlstv/virginshigh.htm lyrics]. However, it's a MELL song, so would you expect anything else from her?

* [[Phlebotinum Overload]]: Aisha can't pilot for too long, since her 118% synchronization rate is [[Explosive Overclocking|incredibly taxing.]] Just a few minutes is enough to put her in a coma.

* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Admiral Kadowaki from Kouryuu. Heck, he even authorized the fishing expedition. At first, he tries to give them a reason to sortie in grounds of "training", but later...

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Played very straight with Ranko and Haruko.

* [[Retired Badass]]: {{spoiler|Soya Togo is one; he was an [[Ace Pilot]] retiring due to a nasty injury and instead becomes [[Cool Teacher]] to the girls.}}

* [[Rousing Speech]]: Aisha gives one to Otoha.

* [[Shout-Out]]:

** Obviously, {{spoiler|the appearance of [[Gradius|Big Vipers]]}}. This IS an anime made by Konami after all...
