''Soldiers of the Gran Knights, Combine!''
 
'''''Chōjūshin'' (Super-Heavy God) Gravion''''' is a 12-episode [[Super Robot]] series released in 2002 by [[GONZO]] (the animation studio, ''not'' the Muppet). Think ''[[GaoGaiGar]]'' loaded with [[Meido|maids]] instead of [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Transformers|Autobot]] [[Expy|Expies]].
 
[[War Was Beginning|The Earth's about to come under attack]] by an alien race called the Zeravire. However, a mysterious billionaire named Klein Sandman has prepared for the invasion with God Gravion, a [[Super Robot Genre|Super Robot]] that uses the power of gravity to fight. The protagonist is Eiji Shigure, a young man who infiltrates Sandman's St. Germain Castle in search of his missing older sister Ayaka, and is recruited as part of the Gran Knights. The story is given a different slant: although Eiji is the main character, he's effectively [[The Lancer]] of this particular [[Five-Man Band|Six Man Band]], piloting the G-Attacker, the God Gravion's right leg, rather than being the main pilot.

Most definitely ''not'' to be confused with ''[[Gravitation]]''.

{{tropelist}}
This series provides examples of:
* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: Mizuki. All but one of her outfits reveal a [[Boobs of Steel|copious amounts of cleavage]], and [http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3881/65603685.jpg the fact that she has a lot to show] helps.
* [[Achilles in His Tent]]: Okay, being pissed at Touga for {{spoiler|attempting to kill Cecile along with that Zeravire}} is understandable. But {{spoiler|leaving the team to fight a ''more powerful'' Zeravire by themselves}}? [[What the Hell, Hero?|What The Hell, Eiji]]?
Line 43:
* [[Drill Tank]]: G-Driller.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Drops them on the ''audience'' surprisingly often.
* [[Ecchi]]: A classic example that also throws in [[Humongous Mecha]] into the mix.
* [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: The Chōjūken in ''Gravion'' and {{spoiler|Ultimate Gravion}} in ''Zwei''.
* [[Expy]]: Compatible Kaiser and G Compatible Kaiser of the ''[[Super Robot Wars Original Generation|Original Generation]]'' sub-series bears striking similarities and attacks to the God Gravion and Sol Gravion respectively. It helps that Masami Obari, ''Gravion's'' director and character/mecha designer, was tasked by Banpresto to redesign the Kaiser.
Line 91 ⟶ 92:
* [[Spy Catsuit]]: Mizuki wears an extremely [[Stripperific]] version, particularly noticable in [http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1361/80b109624fc0966909a0013.gif ''Zwei'''s OP].
* [[This Is a Drill]]: .G-Driller and Geo Javelin.
* [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]]: This series has three of them. Anya is a [[Genki Girl|genki]] [[Curtains Match the Window]] [[Fiery Redhead]] with [[Girlish Pigtails]]. Brigitta is just as [[Genki Girl|genki]] and has [[Odango Hair]] as well as [[Purple Eyes]]. Cecile is a [[Raven Hair, Ivory Skin]] beauty, has [[Curtains Match the Window]] black eyes with elegant hair and [[Proper Lady|acts proper]] if a bit shy. All of them are [[Meido]] in Sandmann's castle. And at least the first two are quite obsessed with Eiji's "physicals". Make of that what you will.
* [[Transformation Name Announcement]]: Sandman [[I Always Wanted to Say That|always wanted to do it once]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNZfFT6qklM&feature=related&fmt=18 He gets to].
* [[Transforming Mecha]]: The Gran Troopers get the jet/robot modes.
