'''''Kirameki Project''''' starts with an unprovoked attack by a [[Humongous Mecha]] against a German mecha squad - the attacker defeats them all and takes their national emblem, adding it to a collection. We then shift to Genes, an idyllic and technologically-advanced Mediterranean-island [[Micro Monarchy]] governed by [[Rule of Three|three princeses]]: [[Only Sane Woman|Kroné]], [[The Quiet One|Kana]], and [[Faux Action Girl|Nene]]. The mecha from the earlier attack arrives at Genes, looking for a fight... but Kana is reluctant to send out her giant robot until Nene's life is endangered.
''Kirameki Project'' is a five-episode [[Super Robot]] [[OVA]] anime, produced by [[Studio Fantasia]] and released in 2005. The series was directed by Katsuhiko Nishijima, who had previously directed both ''[[Gunbuster]]'' and ''[[Agent Aika]]''... and both influences show in this work.
Line 6 ⟶ 8:
{{Tropelist|If it's on the [[:Category:Mecha Tropes|Mecha Tropes]] list, it's probably parodied here. Other tropes used in ''Kirameki Project'' include:}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Nene so desperately wants to be one, but (except for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the climactic battle where she almost gets to be [[The Cavalry]]) she ends up either a [[Badass in Distress]] or a [[Faux Action Girl]] instead, depending on the circumstances.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Wholesale destruction isn't enough to motivate Kana, but so much as scratch one of her girls...
Line 18 ⟶ 19:
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: It wouldn't be a mecha show without them! Big Mighty, Junerin, The Perfect, and some unnamed giant robots all appear.
* [[Informed Ability]]: [[Played for Laughs]] with the Kroné Rose Knight Brigade. They're called the last line of defense of the kingdom, but circumstances conspire to prevent them from actually doing anything other than be forced to throw a fight.
* [[Joshikousei]]: Kana, given that her usual outfit (to
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: Launched against the [[Flying Brick]] by the [[Big Bad]]'s mecha.
* [[Meganekko]]: Kana (voiced by [[Casting Gag|real-life meganekko]] [[Mai Kadowaki]]).
* [[Micro Monarchy]]: Genes, as mentioned above. It isn't as defenceless as most examples of this trope thanks to Junerin's presence.
* [[Most Common Superpower]]: Nene, who uses it for a [[Marshmallow Hell]] attack during one episode.
* [[My Name Is Not Durwood]]: One minor character's name is Dotten'''heim''', not (as Nene repeatedly calls him) Dotten.
Line 27 ⟶ 29:
* [[Panty Shot]]: It's an anime from [[Studio Fantasia]] - if a character is female, past puberty, and appears in more than two scenes, she gets at least one panty shot, the only exception being Kana. Even [[Humongous Mecha]] Junerin has a few!
* [[Princesses Rule]]: Apparently the "acting ruler" version of the trope, all three princesses co-rule Genes.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: Kroné is the Commander in Chief of Genes' armed forces. Kana is a genius mecha designer and builder. Nene ... well, Nene ''wants to be'' [[
* [[Salaryman]]: Ooya, except that he's traded his briefcase for a giant robot.
* [[Something We Forgot]]: "I never did get a chance to ask him about this."
Line 33 ⟶ 35:
* [[Super Speed]]ster: Junerin is eight times as fast as Big Mighty, but only in short bursts.
* [[Swiss Army Hero]]: Rincle, who has flight, surface, underground, and underwater vehicle modes for Kana to ride in, a special mode useful for cleaning Junerin, and [[Rubber Man]] arms. No explanation is ever given for these abilities, they just exist.
* [[Translation Convention]]: Episode 3 shows Kana not recognizing the language an inscription is written in - Rincle translates it for her, and then identifies the language as Japanese. (The official North American release does not have an English dub - this exchange is spoken in Japanese by the seiyuu.)
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: [[Enforced]] - if the other giant robots don't at least try to hit Junerin (or Nene), there's no fight at all. Granted, the [[Big Bad]] does seem to enjoy it.
* [[Wrench Wench]] / [[Gadgeteer Genius]]: Kana, who built Rincle and Junerin, to whom she's a [[Mama Bear]]. She skips school in favor of working on her [[Humongous Mecha]] in the first episode.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Nene's usual outfit (not her "Powered Suit") is Grade B.
