* [[Black Box]]: The technology that remains from the previous age has become inoperable by humanity, including a [[Ragnarok Proofing|Ragnarok-proofed system]] located near Helvetia's border with No-Man's Land that serves an unknown purpose.

* [[Cosy Catastrophe]]: While the rest of the world has fallen into disrepair, small regions (like Seize) remain habitable, with its residents going about their everyday lives as usual.

* [[Crap Saccharine World]]: On the first glance, this is [[K-On!]] [[Recycled in Space|set on the battlefield]]: [[Scenery Porn|the landscapes are beautiful]], girls bond and have memorable adventures… [[Fridge Horror|at least until one realizes]] that the characters are essentially [[Child Soldier|teenaged soldiers]] having gone through [[War Is Hell|trying events]] in their lives and have [[Dark and Troubled Past|issues]] (with Kanata as the exception). Furthermore, humanity's [[The End of the World as We Know It|losing war against "Them"]] led to the deterioration of the Earth's biosphere. However, it is a [[World Half Full]], as the PV (and the [[Bilingual Bonus|lyrics of ''Servante de Feu'']]) reminds us:

* [[Creator Provincialism]]: A rather unusual subversion is present; initially, the setting is an [[Expy]] of Switzerland, with European architecture and minor elements derived from Japanese culture present to give the impression that Japanese customs are more universal. However, the number of instances eventually reaches the extent where they are clearly intentional: in the last episode Rio gets hold of a map that shows that actually {{spoiler|they are in Japan, but the sea level has receded to the point where it is now connected to Eurasia}}.
