Line 11:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]]:
** [[Student Council President]] Kent gets the other main characters out of trouble with station security simply by saying they were there to meet him.
* <s> [[Air Jousting|Air]]</s> [[Air Jousting|Space Jousting]]▼
** When it comes time to decide which six students will be allowed to participate in the mission to save the world, it's assumed by everyone that the four student council members will of course be included in their number. This gives them the experience to take part in all of the series' subsequent important missions.
* [[After the End]]: The series is set nearly two centuries after half the world was destroyed by a supernova shockwave.
* [[Always Someone Better]]: Source of much [[Wangst]] and a dangerous [[Green-Eyed Monster]].
* [[Angel Unaware|Alien Unaware]]
Line 18 ⟶ 21:
* [[Anime First]]: Manga adaptation by Ryou Akizuki.
* [[The Apocalypse Brings Out the Best In People]]
* [[Beta Couple]]:
* [[Big Bad]]: Complete lack thereof, if you don't count cosmic cataclysms as such
* [[Big Fancy House]]: Well, a big fancy space station, actually; but it's still home and
* [[Blind Idiot Translation]]: "Does it make answer? ... It records. After a dial tone please message" on a video mail system. Made even more jarring as it comes about five minutes after a screen showing "See You Next Year!" in seven different languages... none of them Japanese.
** Delicious irony results in the English dub, when those same messages--but with normal English grammar and usage--are recited by voice, at the same time as the Engrish displays on screen.
Line 34 ⟶ 37:
* [[Deflector Shields]]: On planetary scale, no less.
* [[Distant Finale]]: Two years later.
* [[Do Well, But Not Perfect]]: Kouta gets average grades - in ''every'' subject, deliberately, which is discussed by some of the other characters. Thus, it's a shock to the people involved when {{spoiler|he saves Shima from Ayaka's murder attempt}} by using all of his actual piloting skills.
* [[Emotionless Girl]]: Akira, bordering the [[Tin Man|Tin Girl]] zone.
* [[The End of the World as We Know It]] Multiple times; it happened once 189 years ago, it's happening again with the Second Wave. {{spoiler|And it's happening one more time with the Cosmic Fracture.}}
Line 40 ⟶ 43:
* [[Faster-Than-Light Travel]]: Notably absent, so that a trip to another Foundation takes several months, which is a [[Stranger in a Familiar Land|plot point]].
** Implied to be possible, but at sufficiently astronomical energy costs that it wouldn't be possible with anything smaller than a Stellvia-class station.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Yayoi and Ayaka, during the scene
* [[General Ripper]]: Luckily, these folks don't get much to say.
* [[Genius Ditz]]: Shima.
Line 46 ⟶ 49:
* [[Hard Work Montage]]: Stellvia has a very diverse and demanding class load.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Ayaka.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: Shima gets more than her share of these; the worst one is arguably during the Genesis Mission.
* [[Heroic RROD]]: Kouta, during the Genesis Mission.
* [[Humanity on Trial]]: The aliens' actions make sense. Really.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: There are only two in the series, and their humanoid form is [[Justified Trope|justified]] by the representative role they were intended to play in eventual contact with non-human civilizations.
Line 57 ⟶ 60:
** And let's not forget Ayaka and Yayoi, which ''somehow'' manages to stay just [[subtext]].
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: Sort of, {{spoiler|the "cosmic fracture" that destroyed Hydrus Beta and caused both shockwaves}}.
* [[Mid-Season Upgrade]]: Shima receives a mecha of her own for
** Before then, Shima's ship got upgraded repeatedly for the Astroball tournament.
* [[Negative Space Wedgie]]: The First Wave, Second Wave, and {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man|the Fracture behind the supernova]]}}.
Line 64 ⟶ 67:
* [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler|Kouta/Shima and Jojo/Akira}}
* [[Older and Wiser]]: Yayoi.
* [[Opening Narration]]: Almost always given by Shima.
* [[Overprotective Dad]]: Shirogane-sensei is a bit shy about mobilizing the kids, even after they {{spoiler|already saved the world the first time}}.
* [[Perfect Pacifist People]]: {{spoiler|Until the Great Mission is finished and the peace starts to crack, anyway.}}
* [[Pettanko]]: Shima, and she's a bit shy about it. [[Hilarity Ensues]] when she shows up for flight class covering her [[Latex Space Suit]]... with a towel.
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: The whole Ultima incident.
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: Kouta's sis takes over raising him due to their parents dying, going from [[Cool Big Sis]] to [[Hot Shounen Mom]] in the process.
* [[The Quiet One]]: Masaru Odawara, who eventually ascends to leadership of the gang.
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: Many of the girls have very long hair, Shima Katase does at least have the sense to bind hers up before spaceflight missions.
* [[The Rival]]: Subverted with Rinna, who proclaims Shima to be her rival but never acts overtly hostile; the two become very close friends almost immediately.
