Voices of a Distant Star: Difference between revisions

More tropes
(More tropes)
Line 19:
* [[Child Soldiers]]: Mikako is decidedly of the precocious variety, being the only member of the fleet's crew to appear in the anime.
* [[Cool Starship]]: The ''Lysithea'' and its sister vessels of the UN Navy possess [[Faster-Than-Light Travel|a warp engine]] and beam weaponry that can [[Roboteching|curve at right angles]] to hit enemies.
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: According to ''Words of Love/Across the Stars'', Mikako's father "stopped coming home", but whether he ran out on the family, died away from home, or something else is not elaborated on.
* [[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.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The Tracers wield missile pods as part of their load-out.
* [[Magic Skirt]]: The skirt of Mikako's school uniform stays down even in zero-g.
* [[Mind Screw]]: Late in the film after having made planetfall on Agartha, Mikako sees and interacts with what appears to be an older [[Alternate Self]] with a wedding ring. Whether this is a hallucination, a psychic attack from the Tarsians who attack physically shortly afterwards, or something else is never made known.
* [[No Ending]]: The anime is rather open-ended. The manga adaptation adds some resolution.
* [[Rain Aura]]
