{{tropelist}}

* [[Alien Sky]]: From Agartha's surface, [http://duplave.freeblog.hu/files/voices_of_a_distant_star_006.jpg the sky is a green tinge and at least one of its moons] are visible.

* [[All There in the Manual]]: Those who missed the newspaper headlines in the movie's finale might misinterpret it as either a [[Downer Ending]] or a [[Bittersweet Ending|bittersweet one]]. However, those headlines report the ''Lysithea'''s victory at Agartha. Additional details like Noboru's Navy uniform in the closet suggest his eventual reunion with Mikako. The supplementary [[Novelization]] states outright that the ''Lysithea'' won the battle, but their FTL drive was damaged beyond repair, so they have no choice but to call for help and wait eight years for the message to reach Earth.

* [[BFS]]: The Tracers possess a powerful [[Laser Blade|beam saber]] that can be used to {{spoiler|slice an alien battleship in half}}.

* [[Can You Hear Me Now?]]: Mikako's phone is piggybacked to the Lysithea's communications array and allows her to send mail even when she's outside of our solar system.

* [[Child Soldiers]]: Mikako is decidedly of the precocious variety, being the only member of the fleet's crew to appear in the anime.

* [[False Camera Effects]]: This aspect is particularly impressive and demonstrates [[Makoto Shinkai]]'s attention to detail, giving the anime a greater degree of realism.

* [[Fantastic Romance]]: The degree of separation between Mikako and Noboru is a consequence of FTL Travel.
