Tales of the Abyss: The Abridged Series: Difference between revisions

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Guy likes to revel in his "[[Johnny Yong Bosch|Boschyness]]".

** During the fight scene toward the end of episode 3, while [[Calling Your Attacks|calling his actions]], it seemed suspiciously like Guy was saying [[Dissidia Final Fantasy|"Lance! Slash!"]]

* [[A God Am I]]: During [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igMz2M9HTqg Penguin Rapture], Johnny Yong Penguin declared himself the "Penguin God".

* [[Alternate Universe]]: The series so far seems to accept that it is one, given that the cheagles have given the real Sorcerer's Ring to "the real cast". The fourth wall isn't exactly durable, either. Guy more or less blows it wide open in Episode Two.

** [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|And who wasn't?]]

** Ditto for Guy.

* [[Evil Knockoff]]: The cheagles had to give the actual Sorcerer's Ring to the original game's cast. Instead, they have "the Sorcerer's Bling". [[Blatant Lies|It only has a tiny side-effect]].

* [[Fan Service]]: Frequently pointed out and ridiculed.

* [[Jerkass]]: Luke is one ([[Character Exaggeration|even more so than his game counterpart]]), but Jade seems to be giving him a run for his money with his [[Incredibly Lame Pun|utterly]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|awful]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|puns]].

* [[Jekyll and Hyde]]: In the fourth promo, Mieu shows shades of this. Subverted in that the "Jekyll" side seemed to be just an act.

* [[Killed Mid-Sentence|Killed Mid Song]]: {{spoiler|Largo, by Jade.}}

* [[Kissing Cousins]]

* [[Larynx Dissonance]]: Invoked by Mieu's voice actor during his "kawaii pose".

* [[Leitmotif]]: Mieu has one. Not long after he plays it, Luke asks for some of his own but proceeds to get bitchslapped for his troubles... [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome|off-screen]].

* [[Medium Awareness]]: More or less everybody.

* [[Obligatory Swearing]]: The second episode. The third mocks it by compiling them all for its "[["Previously On..."]]" section.

* [[Screams Like a Little Girl]]: Luke, quite often.

* [[Shout-Out]]:

** Guy senses a "[[Johnny Yong Bosch|Johnny Yong]] [[Star Wars|disturbance]]."

** IIRC, Mieu's [[Leitmotif]] is [[WWE|Shane McMahon's]].

* [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: The Sorcerer's Bling apparently gives its holder one.

** [[Evil Brit]]: Most of the cast are Americans and, as such, most of the Cheagles are voiced by them. When Mieu's [[Scary Black Man]] [[Always Chaotic Evil|Side]] takes over, however, he's played by the only Brit on the team. Discuss.
