{{quote| ''"We the people, who are dedicated to protecting the common good, do hereby charge you with trespassing, theft, violence, assault, illegal possession of firearms, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and a really crappy attitude!]] You are therefore sentenced to life imprisonment in the DL Correctional Facility on the moon."''}}
[[Describe Topic Here|One can describe Dead Leaves here.]] Alternately, one can describe the end result of an [[X Meets Y|unholy fusion of]] ''[[FLCL]]'' and ''[[
Either way, things will get [[Mind Screw|weird.]]
Line 11:
Did we mention the sex scene, the prisoner with [[This Is a Drill|a drill]] for a [[Gag Penis|penis,]] the insane warden, and the strange children's story?
This OVA shares a director with ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'', ''[[Panty
Both [[Netflix]] and [[YouTube]] carry a legal stream of this OVA.
Line 28:
** A bit of [[Reality Subtext]] (see below) makes this especially funny and heartwarming.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Retro, The Warden, Triple-Six, and a lot of the inmates qualify for this trope.
{{quote| '''Retro: ''[[Exactly What It Says
* [[Badass]]: Retro, Triple-Six, and Triple-Seven
* [[Batman Can Breathe in Space]]: This trope briefly occurs in the first part of Retro and Triple-Seven's fight.
Line 48:
* [[The Faceless]]: In the few brief flashback shots we see, Retro's human face is always hidden.
* [[Faceless Masses]]: Every normal citizen is depicted with the same blank, [[Eyes Always Shut]] expression.
* [[Freeze
* [[Gag Penis]]: Chinko Drill, one of the inmates, has a large drill for a dick.
* [[Groin Attack]]: After one particular explosion, Chinko Drill finds himself landing dick-first into a pile of rubble.
Line 76:
* [[Offhand Backhand]]
* [[Off-Model]]: The visuals are extremely stylized and there is actually no model. Yes, even [[Off-Model]] [[Tropes Are Not Bad|can be good.]]
* [[Only Known
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Retro when he's not around Pandy. Pandy, otherwise.
* [[The Power of Love|The Power Of Love(making)]]: Sex breaks Pandy and Retro out of their cell. No, really.
Line 82:
{{quote| '''Chinko''': You want me to kiss you first?}}
* [[Pregnant Badass]]: Pandy, through most of the movie.
* [[Reality Subtext]]: A twofer: not only are the English voices of Pandy and Retro married in real life, but [[Amanda Winn
* [[Redshirt Army]]: Pretty much the prison's entire population, guards and inmates alike.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: The original script plays out as an action movie with small pockets of comedy here and there. The dub of the OVA, however, borders on [[Gag Dub]] -- while keeping the original script as intact as possible.
Line 90:
* [[Rule of Cool]]
* [[Shapeshifter Weapon]]: Triple-Six turns his arms into [[Blade Below the Shoulder|swords]], while Triple-Seven's body turns into guns.
* [[Shout
** Dub-only example: "[[Back to The Future|Let's make like a tree and get the hell out of here!]]"
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: ''[[Panty
* Squick: The aforementioned [[Gag Penis]]/drill. {{spoiler|Once Chinko dies, Retro holds it... And semenish goo comes out.}}
** Also, Galaxia.
Line 102:
* [[You All Look Familiar]]: Both played comically straight and spectacularly averted. On Earth, ''every single person'' [[Only Six Faces|looks the same]] (with an [[Eyes Always Shut]] [[Only Six Faces|face]]), but on the moon, ''every single one'' of the prisoners -- even those who show up for a background appearance -- possess a unique appearance.
* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: The mutants, in general.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made
* [[World of Ham]] [[World Gone Mad|Gone Mad]]: Well, it's actually the moon. Everyone there looks and acts insane and hams it up at every possible moment.
