Line 44:
* [[Heroic Self-Deprecation]]: [[Downplayed]]. Akko at the start of episode twelve does this briefly. This is even lampshaded. {{quote|'''Sucy''': Wow. Akko's feeling down in the dumps. I guess there's a first time for everything.}}
* [[Homage]]: In episode eight "Akko's Adventures in Sucyworld", the fangirl Sucy holds up a [[Star Wars|lightsaber]].
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: In episode 18, the ship that Akko and Constanze builds transforms into one. Constanze's helper bots believe that a transforming mecha is a stupid idea, but Constanze regardless tries to make the plan work. In the end, it all works out. [[Studio Trigger]], we get it. You're formed from [[Gainax|the people]] who made ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' and ''[[Gurren Lagann]]''.
* [[Journey to the Center of the Mind]]: The plot point of episode eight, "Akko's Adventures in Sucyworld", where Akko tries to wake up a sleeping Sucy.
* [[Late for School]]: How the series starts out. Akko asks around for a bus stop to take her to Luna Nova, but turns out, there are ''no'' buses that go there. Instead, you have to ride on a broomstick. Oh, also if you're late, you're expelled. The stakes are just a little high.
Line 59 ⟶ 60:
* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Akko can only speak by yelling. Nothing else.
* [[No Ontological Inertia]]: In episode ten, when the love bee was killed, the love spell from everyone it stung wears off. Thus, Andrew is no longer in love with Akko, and Lotte no longer has an unwanted harem.
* [[Off-Model]]: If a character is small and far from the camera, it's difficult to tell exactly who they are. While it is expected that characters further away will be drawn with less detail, sometimes characters won't be drawn with basic features like eyes at all, making them difficult to tell apart. In episode 17, a particularly noticeable example involves Akko in rat form standing on Amanda's shoulder, where she looked like an eleven year old having a frantic fifteen second session in Microsoft Paint.
* [[One Word Title]]: Episode two is titled "Papiliodia" and episode twenty-three is titled "Yesterday".
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: In the courtroom scene in episode eight, Akko is clearly seen sitting with the other Sucy characters in the chair. Two shots and three seconds later, she somehow got up to the judge, close enough to stop the hammer.
Line 80 ⟶ 81:
'''Sucy''': Yeah, yeah.
'''Akko''': It won't happen!}}
* [[The Sky Is an Ocean]]: In "Stanship Take Off!", the airship that Akko and Constanze designs look like a seafaring vehicle. It even sailed on water before flying into the sky.
* [[The Song Remains the Same]]: The ending and opening songs remain in Japanese even in the English dub.
* [[Speed Stripes]]: Used quite frequently throughout all episodes. It's there to save budget so [[Studio Trigger]] won't make the mistake their ancestors at [[Gainax]] made and run out of money. They do ''not'' want to pull a [[Gainax Ending]].
Line 85 ⟶ 87:
* [[That Was Objectionable]]: In the courtroom scene in episode eight, Akko loudly objects to the different Sucys being terminated, even going as far to physically stop the judge's hammer with her hands. She '''does''' have a reason, thinking it's ridiculous
* [[Training Montage]]: [[Parodied]] in episode three, with Akko trying (remember, ''trying'') to fly on a broomstick. Cue lots of intense yelling, book reading, and [[Epic Fail|epic failing]].
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: In "Stanship Take Off!", the ship built for the Wild Hunt is able to transform into a [[Humongous Mecha]], accompanied with flashy backgrounds and music.
* [[Screen Shake]]: Used in conjunction with action and fight sequences, as well in sequences where someone is hit. An example would be in "Akko's Adventures in Sucyworld", where Lotte hits Akko with a wand to put her to sleep, and the screen shakes to reflect this action.
* [[Show Within a Show]]: In episode four, we are introduced to the [[Young Adult]] book series ''Night Fall''.
