Line 202:
** By contrast, Kotomi is the "First Girl", chronologically speaking, and in the [[Visual Novel]] she can surpass Nagisa to become the [[Victorious Childhood Friend]].
*** "Surpass" is an iffy term since Nagisa was never a romantic prospect in Kotomi's route, she was just Kotomi's first female friend.
* [[First Name Basis]] - Tomoya calls all of the other main girls by their given name without honorific, adding "-chan" for {{media-|kotomi-chan.jpg| Kotomi}} because she won't notice him otherwise, but he and Nagisa call each other by family name. At one point, Fūko, who approves of them as an [[Official Couple]], tries to convince them to be more "adult-like" by switching to a first name basis (complete with -chan and -kun honorifics), but after a stuttering attempt both protest that it's too embarrassing (though Tomoya does manage it by leaving off the "-chan").
** Later in the [[Anime]], in an ''[[Bonus Material|omake]]'' episode set during the summer of Tomoya's senior year, Mei ''finally'' succeeds in getting Nagisa to call Tomoya by his first name. Note that the two have already been going steady for several weeks by this time.
** In the [[Visual Novel]], Ryou and Tomoya switch to first name basis, as well, in her and Kyou's route in the game. It's the final scene in the Ryou end.
Line 232:
* [[Genius Loci]] - The entire city, in certain characters' opinion.
* [[Genre Busting]] - It's like a slice-of-life romance drama with a side-order of the supernatural.
* [[The Glomp]] - The one performed by {{media-|Kyou_-_get_to_know_Kotomi_better.jpg| Kyou on the visibly uneasy Kotomi}} is especially famous.
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Kyou.
* [[Go Into the Light]] - Parodied on more than one occasion by Nagisa's very theatrical parents.
Line 310:
** For the audience, that is. Sunohara gets a glance of Kyou's light-blue ''pantsu''. Kyou is not amused.
** Another case: Tomoya. Whenever he and Sunohara meet with Tomoyo and Tomoyo proceeds with the ass-kicking, Tomoya will be in front of Tomoyo while she's giving Sunohara air time. And her kicking leg is raised in a very meaningful angle.
* [[Male Gaze]]: Of course. For example, in ''~After Story~'' 20, when Kyou greets one of her students with his mother, {{media-|s_ass.jpg| the camera pans on Kyou's butt, and Tomoya's eyes are seen looking towards Kyou's ass for about two seconds}}.
** There is also the interesting camera angles used when Ryou and Kotomi are stretching together in one scene, that constantly features one of the pairs' [[Incredibly Lame Pun|pair.]]
* [[Matchmaker Crush]]: Kyou tries to push Tomoya to be with her sister Ryou at every opportunity ... though she has a crush on him, too. Sometimes she'll make a flirtatious play for Tomoya in the middle of working out a plan to get Ryou and Tomoya together, as if she's forgetting that if Ryou is dating Tomoya, she isn't, and if she's dating Tomoya, Ryou isn't. (This sort of emotional confusion / conflation can be [[Truth in Television]], even for adults, much less hormonal high school students.)
Line 321:
* [[Men Can't Keep House]]: Mei visits Sunohara's dorm room to find it's like this. Nagisa notes that it's [[Damned By Faint Praise|'a very boyish room']].
* [[Mind Screw]] - See [[Gainax Ending]] above.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: "''Fujibayashi Kyou is bi!''" Just another of [[Trickster Archetype|Tomoya]]'s pranks -- although {{media-|Kyou_-_get_to_know_Kotomi_better.jpg| Kyou certainly isn't helping things.}}
** Tomoya also tricks Nagisa into believing that Sunohara is gay.
** After misunderstanding something Mei says about playing Cupid, Tomoya has an [[Imagine Spot]] in which he and Youhei are lovers.
