Line 39:
** This also occurs with the five prince suitors who are interested in her. Although she has a choice in which one to marry, and she sends them on a [[Fetch Quest]], she is still expected to marry ''one'' of them.
* [[Art Shift]]: The art style becomes much more sketchy and rough when Kaguya runs away from the mansion, and becomes much colder and more focused in the scenes following.
* [[Artsy Moon]]: In this case, the "artsy" comes from size. In some shots of the film, notably the last one before the credits, the Moon takes up over half of the screen. The shot is made more weird by the lack of saturation when compared to the rest of the film, and the moon feels more "artsy" due to the film's broad and simplistic art style. {{spoiler|Justified, as Kaguya is from the Moon.}}
* [[Blue and Orange Morality]]: The {{spoiler|residents of the Moon. Having lived on the moon for their entire lives, they are unable to experience the wonders as well as the ups and downs of live on Earth. This means that they struggle to comprehend basic human emotions, and does not understand Princess Kaguya when she wishes to stay on Earth, citing that on the Moon, one cannot experience negative emotions. They neglect to mention that this also means that they cannot experience positive ones.}}
* [[Character Title]]: The Tale of the ''Princess Kaguya''.
Line 81 ⟶ 80:
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: When Kaguya is being {{spoiler|taken away to the moon}}, joyful and festive music plays in a scene which should be melancholic. The soundtrack eventually progresses to a depressing and sorrowful song, averting the usage of the trope in the later parts of the scene.
* [[Unwanted Harem]]: With genders reversed. The harem is the group of male suitors who wish to marry Princess Kaguya, as well as the people waiting outside her palace hoping to catch a glimpse of her. In an attempt to make them go away, she sets an [[Impossible Task]] for them as an [[Engagement Challenge]]. Instead of the suitors, she wishes to marry her childhood friend Sutemaru.
* [[ArtsyWeird Moon]]: In this case, the "artsyweird" comes from size. In some shots of the film, notably the last one before the credits, the Moon takes up over half of the screen. The shot is made more weird by the lack of saturation when compared to the rest of the film, and the moon feels more "artsy" due to the film's broad and simplistic art style. {{spoiler|Justified, as Kaguya is from the Moon.}}
* [[The X of Y]]: The ''Tale'' of the ''Princess Kaguya'', fitting in the formula ''The (common noun) of the (Proper Noun)''.
