Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Alas, Poor Villain: If you don't feel even a little bad for Herve in the end, you ain't right.
Designated Hero / Designated Villain: The Animus and Dolore clans. Granted, the Dolore were the ones who stole one of the cursed books in the first place, but it is implied that this happened centuries before the events of the series took place.
Narm: Invoked by the random musical outbreaks, in which all the singing is terribly off-key and too mumbled to understand the significance of the lyrics. According to dub writer Stephen Foster, it's meant to be bad on purpose, as the Japanese version did it that way, too.
Tear Jerker: Lots, even the very first episode is heartbreaking.
Kate's reaction to Lise's death.
The girls' reactions to finding out that winning the war will result in them losing their memories and living forever in ageless bodies, which hits them hard since they had spent a good part of the show believing that they could be resurrected & return to their normal lives. They do not take the news well, particularly Rose, due to their relationships with other people.
