Line 24:
* [[After the End]] -- It is only vaguely alluded to throughout the series, but humanity nearly wiped itself out more than once, which is most likely why {{spoiler|the Shishidou council decided to create the Brain Colonies in the first place. This works pretty well. If you like boxes.}}
* [[Anime First]] -- The manga spinoff(s) came later.
* [[Anti
* [[Arc Words]] -- "[[Title Drop|The Girl Who Leapt Through Space]]"
* [[Agent Mulder]] -- Itsuki
Line 63:
* [[Deus Est Machina]]: The raison d'etre of Brain Colonies -- especially Nerval. However, even gods have their complexes.
* [[Disney Death]]: {{spoiler|Imo-chan appears to have survived her kamikaze-manoevre against the antimatter-missile--saved by Nerval, no less}}.
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] -- Leopard needs a pair of golden balls so that he can successfully shoot his cannon. Fits together rather nicely, doesn't it?
** Some of the dialogue after Leopard fires his gun for the first time includes Akiha saying she hurts all over and Leopard having "burnt out all his white as a man".
** Akiha's attempt to reassure Leopard after his gun completely fails to fire in the first episode is similarly humorous.
Line 71:
** Itsuki's mecha with a gatling gun ''in its crotch'' is also worth mentioning.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me]] -- Completed inverted by Nami, who WANTS everyone to pity her. The fact that no one is willing to indulge her is what largely leads to her {{spoiler|[[Face Heel Turn]]}}
* [[Dual
* [[Dramatic Wind]] -- Takane is so cool, she finds one ''on the Moon surface''.
* [[Egopolis]] -- Leopard, being big enough to contain a city structure within him, takes pride in his city by, for example, naming all the animal species within him after himself. ''Crocodilius leopardus'', anyone?
Line 95:
** And '''B'''eyond '''O'''rbital '''A'''zonal '''R'''unabout Ship.
* [[Genius Ditz]] -- Sakura. A child prodigy with machines with a habit of speaking more often with sound effects than actual words; to the extent her sisters have to translate.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]] -- Honoka does this to a mind-controlled Akiha.
** In episode 23, Itsuki also gets to slap Akiha.
** In episode 26, {{spoiler|Akiha does this with an [[Gun Buster|Inazuma Kick]] to free Leopard from possession.}}
Line 111:
** {{spoiler|Nerval}} in episode 26.
** {{spoiler|He survives, too.}}
* [[Hey
** [[Yukari Tamura|Kazane]] channeling [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni|dark Rika]].
** Even there not much relation between the two [[Yukana|Takane]] is C.C.
* [[Highly
* [[Hikikomori]] -- Leopard. He claims to be a "lone noble soul", but definitely shows some insecurity when he's accused of being a shut-in, not to mention his rather pained reaction to being exposed to the sun without any shade.
** Also what the AIs are trying to turn all of humanity into. For our own safety, of course.
Line 129:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]] -- Takane. That, or [[Glass Cannon]] given how thin she is.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]
* [[Logic Bomb]] -- Inverted: AI logic bombs a human. Leopard answers to the question "What are you?" with the [[Armor
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] -- {{spoiler|Nerval to Leopard.}}
* [[Luminescent Blush]] -- Leopard in the first episode, god knows how he managed it. Also, Benkei, during a scene in which he had to witness Tsutsuji bathing.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]] -- Animation studio Sunrise loves it.
Line 148:
** Aleida's does double duty as a [[Badass Cape]].
* [[Ninja Maid]] -- Imo-chan
* [[
* [[Non
* [[No Sympathy]] -- Nami gets absolutely no love from her sisters, which highly contributes to her descent into depression. {{spoiler|A [[Face Heel Turn]] ensues}}.
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting]] -- Leopard's theme music, usually reserved for colony warfare.
Line 156:
** So does Nami in a later episode.
* [[Parental Abandonment]] -- Itsuki's backstory.
* [[Paper
** Not to mention Leopard wearing a ''moustache and glasses''.
** Or UL's undercover attire. This tropes is still very much unsure what exactly he is trying to present himself as. A miniature ghost maybe?
** Imoko's rather weak attempt to [[Wig, Dress, Accent|dress up]] as Kazane and impersonate her in a video conference fools no one.
* [[Picture Drama]]
* [[Powered Armor]] -- UL's police armor and [[Implacable Man|Aleida's]] combat gear.
Line 204:
* [[Sucking in Lines]] -- Leopard's [[Wave Motion Gun]].
* [[Sweat Drop]] -- Leopard manages to do even that. But then again, Imo-chan is indeed ''[[Beware the Nice Ones|scary]]'' when angry.
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]] -- Takane.
* [[Techno Babble]] -- Honoka delivers a textbook example in the beginning of episode 5 as she sumarizes the status of Leopards parts.
** Sakura goes to both extremes in episode seven by speaking total gibberish, mostly made up of sound effects, while a subtitle track explains the details in technobabble, which may as well be gibberish.
Line 222:
* [[Unlimited Wardrobe]] -- Imoko seems to have a suitable costume for every possible occasion... Including her very ''own'' chibi robo-sized [[Latex Space Suit|Q-Tector]].
* [[Villain Decay]] -- {{spoiler|ALL OF THEM!}}
* [[Wave Motion Gun]] -- Subverted at first when Leopard dramatically prepares to fire his gun, only to have it be a dud. Later played very straight once he has his [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Golden Orbs]].
* [[Well
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]] -- We never did find out what was in {{spoiler|Kagura's note on the message board.}}
* [[White Dwarf Starlet]] -- Nami, which leads to some angst that we don't really see... until episode 11 that is.
* [[With My Hands Tied]] -- Takane gets to pull it off against Aleida.
