In support of their adventures are [[Unlucky Everydude]]/[[Badass Normal]] Ichiro {{spoiler|especially after he gains the ability to become Cosmo Banchou, the [[Anthropomorphic Personification|embodiment]] of Manliness}}, the [[Hello, Nurse!|school nurse Mio Sanada]], who is also the one who developed the girls' powersource ( {{spoiler|as well as being the ''younger'' sister of the [[Man Behind the Man|antagonists]]}}, a pair of [[Bridge Bunnies]] and the [[Casanova Wannabe]], with a crush on the doctor, School Principal.
----
=== This anime contains examples of the following tropes: ===
Line 8:
* [[Art Shift]]: Done whenever Ichiro {{spoiler|transforms into Cosmo Banchou}}, or when a male character is being [[Badass]] or [[Dead Serious]] about something.
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Exemplified to the point of parody by Cosmo Banchou, with a bit of 80's [[Shonen]] manga hero and Distilled Manliness (the back of his goat even says "Male" in big gold kanji) mixed in for good measure.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Ichiro, who has no superpowers except extreme durability. {{spoiler|He's actually a cyborg and when he becomes manly enough, gains the ability to turn into [[Badass Longcoat|Cosmo Banchou]] by doing manly things and [[Shout
* [[BFS]]: Especially Sera's sword, but the other girl's weapons probably qualify aswell.
* [[Calling Your Attacks]]: Subverted in that the attack names change each time.
Line 23:
* [[Heel Face Turn]]
* [[Hired Guns]]: The aliens were contracted to take over the earth.
* [[Hot Scientist]]: Dr. Mio Sanada who wears a [[Shout
* [[Human Aliens]]: All but one of the aliens shown, the other is a [[Catgirl]].
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Called "Fancy Beasts" and usually in some [[Kawaiiko]] and childish design. {{spoiler|Even the school building gets in on the act. It even [[Transforming Mecha|transforms]]!}}
Line 34:
* [[Meganekko]]: Pretty much the entire point of the show, to the point where every female character (even the ''Statue Of Liberty'') shown after the first 4 episodes or so have glasses.
* [[Megumi Hayashibara]]: Yayoi fits this rather well.
* [[Meido]]: A [[Ridiculously
* [[Monster of the Week]]: Both used straight and [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]].
{{quote| '''Mako:''' They wouldn't expect two attacks in ''one day'', now would thay?}}
Line 40:
* [[Once an Episode]]: Ichiro spends most of the series attempting to return a pair of panties that Yuuki lost in the first episode. {{spoiler|He eventually manages it, only to discover that she lost another pair in that episode's fight.}}
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Yuki practically lives off this trope, using it as her primary motivation in life. {{spoiler|The aliens are all even converted in this manner. They even get [[Heterosexual Life Partners|paired friendships]] with the main heroes.}}
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: Averted best with Zero's [[Heel Face Turn]] when {{spoiler|[[The Dragon]]}} [[Big Bad|Mako]] activates her self-destruct. {{spoiler|Only to have her be rescued from it by Cosmo Banchou, who had no idea there was a bomb in her. Being an [[Ridiculously
* [[Rule of Cool]]: Used by a few characters, mostly Cosmo Banchou, who is more or less powered by this.
* [[Rule of Three]]: There are three main aliens to the three main girls, [[spoiler:
* [[Shout
* [[Token Minority]]: Sera is of obvious European descent, though her backstory never goes into it.
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: Ichiro spends most of the anime trying to confess his love, or at least return her panties in a [[Badass|suitably impressive]] manner. Just a bit into the series, both Sera {{spoiler|who knows about his [[Secret Identity]]}}, Yayoi (who is terribly afraid of men, leading to obvious results) and even {{spoiler|alien [[Meido|maid]] Zero}} start to try to get with him.
