Line 16:
{{tropelist}}
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: Played with. Robots do indeed develop beyond their (apparent) intended purpose, but all they really do is develop emotions, and those seen thus far not only remained [["Three Laws
* [[Artificial Human]]
* [[Beneath the Mask]]: About half of the main characters have to pretend to be emotionless appliances in public.
Line 23:
* [[Blind Without'Em]]: Rikuo. He couldn't even recognize Sammy from two feet away.
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: Androids are expected to behave like appliances, so they do. But they can actually be very emotional in the cafe, where they are free to express themselves.
* [[Can Not Tell a Lie]]: Averted. Robots are [["Three Laws
* [[Catch Phrase]]: Chie's "I'm a cat." Also, "Nyaa."
* [[Caught the Heart on His Sleeve]]: Attempted but averted in episode 5 by {{spoiler|Nagi}}.
Line 39:
* [[Hair Decorations]]: Sammy has sported a headband, a scrunchy, and a [[Flower in Her Hair|flower]] at various points.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Rikuo, who asks why she would wear such things. She simply asks if he likes it. [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Apparently he does]].
* [[Extreme Doormat]]: Pretty much robots in general, since they're [["Three Laws
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: Humans against robots, particularly human-looking androids. A lot of the show's human cast (even the main characters!) show strong anti-robot sentiments, anti-robot propaganda ads are everywhere, and plenty of human owners are shown treating their androids like crap.
* [[Genki Girl]]: Akiko talks like an insane chipmunk on speed when she's excited. {{spoiler|Which makes her reveal as an unemotional robot who gets treated horribly all the more heart wrenching.}}
Line 54:
* [[Mind Screw]]: Who's a human, and who's a robot? What is Nagi's story? What were those images in the movie while Sammy was home alone looking at the television?
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: As the climax of the last episode is wrapping up. {{spoiler|THUNK.}}
* [[My Master, Right or Wrong]]: Part of the [["Three Laws
* [[Pick Your Human Half]]: In public, androids have holographic rings over their heads, act quite unemotional, and tend to only follow commands. But in the Time of Eve cafe it is impossible to tell who is a human and who is an android, and their true personalities are let loose.
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: Less so in the outside world, but inside of the Time of Eve, they all become this. However, there are also several conversations that they (humans and androids) are still not exactly the same, though they can still understand each other.
Line 71:
** The original robot story, R.U.R., gets a blink-and-you'll-miss-it shout out in the movie, where it is listed as a type of CPU used in an android.
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Sammy's real personality, which she only shows in the cafe.
* [[The Speechless]]: TEX, {{spoiler|who is silent due to an order by Masaki's father until the [["Three Laws
* [[Star-Crossed Lovers]]: The cafe's resident couple, presumably because one of them is actually a robot. {{spoiler|Actually, they're both robots, and both think the other is human.}}
* [[The Stinger]]: After taking Sammy shopping with her, Rikuo's sister puts a [[Flower in Her Hair]]. In the movie, a few additional minutes of footage shed light on a few characters, raising a large number of additional questions in the process.
* [["Three Laws
** The treatment of the Laws is quite faithful to Asimov's ''I, Robot,'' down to the phrases being examined frequently to explain odd robot behavior, always by the same two protagonists.
** Interesting situations result when Three Laws robots are unable to tell the difference between robots and humans.
