The series started out with a [[Fan Service]]-laden episode, produced by Konami and released as an [[OVA]]. It later got adapted into a two-season series in which the service got somewhat toned down, although the girls still have to wear extremely skin-tight uniforms to make them "communicate" with their mecha. Despite the obvious appeal to adolescent males, the series still manages to have an engaging plot and a fair amount of character development.
For a show with a similar concept that began with an OVA and was later turned into an anime, see ''[[

Line 18:
* [[After the End]]: The backstory has it that most of humanity has barely survived a war with a colony of rogue nanomachines called WORMs, which required the united earth forces to [[Nuke'Em]]. This caused the sea levels to rise and most settlements are trying to rebuild.
* [[An Asskicking Christmas]]
* [[Anime Accent Absence]]: Elise's Japanese is impeccable. Explained that she is a [[Teen Genius]] who is [[Too Clever
* [[Applied Phlebotinum]]: Plenty of examples, but especially the nanoskin gel and Delta Lock / Quadra Formation.
* [[Artistic Age]]: Frequently criticized for portraying sixteen-year-old characters with...well, just see [[Older Than They Look]] below.
Line 52:
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: In episodes 4 and 16, Otoha wears [http://fabien.li/tvtropes/sky_girls.jpg one knee high under her right sock].
* [[Fighter Launching Sequence]]: "Sonic Diver Team, launch!"
* [[Fun
* [[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.
Line 107:
** Speaking of swimsuits, even Karen notes how Motion Slits are even thinner than swimsuits.
* [[Teen Genius]]: Karen Sonomiya and Elise von Dietrich. The former is a top authority concerning nanomachine physics; while Elise is at the very least a gifted polyglot.
* [[Ten
* [[The Brigadier]]: Rear Admiral Shima. He can never be relaxed around the antics of "those annoying kids". It is revealed later that he is anxious because he had seen so many of his men die during the first WORM War.
* [[The Reveal]]: The origin of the WORMS. {{spoiler|Also why Otoha's brother went missing: He has been "synchronized" with the WORMS, giving them a close equivalent of a leader.}}
