Line 1: {{work}} [[File:star-driver-poster-1_5939.png\|frame]] '''''Star Driver: Kagayaki no Takuto''''' (translated as ''Radiant Takuto'' or ''Takuto of the Radiance'') is a [[Humongous Mecha]] [[Anime]] series created and animated by [[Studio BONES\|BONES]] and produced by Aniplex, which ran as part of the Fall 2010 lineup and has been licensed for the USA by Bandai Entertainment. Episodes are being added to Hulu and can be found [https://web.archive.org/web/20131101042407/http://www.hulu.com/star-driver here.] On Southern Cross Island, Wako Agemaki and her fiance Sugata Shindo find a boy passed out on the beach. This boy is Takuto Tsunashi, a transfer student at Southern Cross High, who was so excited to begin his new life that when he missed his ferry, he swam across the sea himself. Line 220: * [[Ninja Maid]]: {{spoiler\|Tiger and Jaguar was revealed to be this on episode 6.}} * [[No Ontological Inertia]]: [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming\|Beautifully averted]]. * [[Nobody Can Die]]: At least the [[Word of God\|director and writer]] [https://web.archive.org/web/20120102071226/http://www.ggkthx.org/2010/10/04/the-world-of-star-driver-interview/ said so]. {{spoiler\|Confirmed, as of the final episode. Not one character has died as a result of Cybody combat, nor have any characters been implied to have died during the run of the story.}} * [[Noodle People]]: Not to the extent as, say [[CLAMP]]'s recent works, but the character designs are quite spindly nonetheless. * [[Not a Date]]: Completely averted in episode 6. Wako literally exclaims to Takuto that they're going on a date when she decides to take him to the city part of the island. Line 321: * [[Transformation Sequence]]: Includes a very [[Magical Girl]]-esque one, as part of its seeming attempt to fit as many shoujo tropes as possible into a shounen series. ** [[Transformation Is a Free Action]] * [[Troperiffic]]: Practically everything in this series has been done before. However, instead of being a [[Cliché Storm]], this series seems to enjoy playing with and parodying various tropes found in other anime such as [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]], [[Code Geass]], and the writer's previous works (Revolutionary Girl Utena, Ouran High School Host Club, and [[~~Fooly Cooly~~FLCL]]). There's even a bit of [[Sailor Moon]] since the same scriptwriter worked on both. It [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshades]] these tropes (or at least makes them ''very'' obvious) rather frequently, so much so that it could develop into a blatant [[Deconstruction]]. For some bizarre reason, this all works to make the series almost scarily entertaining. * [[Two Guys and a Girl]]: Played with, {{spoiler\|but averted as of the end of episode 8.}} ** {{spoiler\|Tokio's relationship with Sora and Ryousuke ends up as this... with unpleasant results.}} Line 364: * [[World of Ham\|World of Camp]]: Possibly one of the standouts in the history of Mecha anime. ** Then again it works to the Crux's advantage if it causes someone's libido levels to rise... * [[X Meets Y]]: ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]''{{'}}s fabulousness meets ''[[Gurren Lagann]]''{{'}}s over-the-topness. It's also been described as [(''[[Code Geass]]'' + ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'') - ''[[Death Note]]'') x ''[[Lucky Star]]'')]. Make of that what you will. Or as ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' meets ''[[RahXephon]]''. Line 372: Which is perfectly fair, as well. It would get a little uncomfortable for the Crux if they had to explain away the "disappearance" of every person who loses to Tauburn. Plus, you don't have to worry about your scientists betraying you as easily. * That, and it seems that they were {{spoiler\|working on a plan to regenerate the Cybodies anyway, and probably realized that saving up on pilots (some of which vow onscreen to get stronger) for the more intensified third level was a good idea}}. * [[You Need to Get Laid]]: The [[Fun with Subtitles\|captions]] speculate that Tetsuya's [[Does This Remind You of Anything?\|excitement]] on the motorcycle is a sign that he's in desperate need of a good lay ('''{{<span style="color\|:purple\|;">VIRGIN?}}</span>'''). {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Shōnen manga~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:~~Star~~Shonen ~~Driver~~Demographic]]▼ [[Category:Studio Wanpack]] [[Category:Anime of the 2010s]]▼ [[Category:Anime]] ▲[[Category:Anime of the 2010s]] [[Category:The New Tens]] ▲[[Category:Star Driver]]
