{{creatortropes}}
=== Tropes associated with Sunrise: ===
* [[Animation Bump]]: Used often to the point where their animation is referred to as "Sunrise Smooth" to many (unfortunately, [[Off-Model|it sacrifices consistency]]).
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: Called the [[Fan Nickname|Brave Perspective]] in Japan due to [[Brave Series|recurring use]], the pose is performed by [[Sword Pointing]] a [[BFS]] diagonally upwards in [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You|extreme foreshortening]]. Also known as the Sunrise Stance much like the [[Gainax|Gaina Stance]], it has become [[Shout-Out|referenced]] endlessly even in professional works.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: Whenever they use CG, generally speaking, but the examples include shows like [[Code Geass]], recent Gundam series and [[Keroro Gunsou]]...'''ESPECIALLY''' ''Keroro Gunsou''. This is largely due to trying to make the models photo-realistic and cartoonish at the same time, with varying degrees of success. Nevertheless, integration has admittedly improved over the years.
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: After a fashion. Like [[Kyoto Animation]], Sunrise was founded by former Mushi Production<ref>An anime studio founded by [[Osamu Tezuka]].</ref> staff who were dissatisfied with how anime was being made there.
* [[Enhanced on DVD]]: Sunrise is also known for improving the quality of its works after their TV broadcasts. Among the most notable being ''[[Code Geass]]'', whose DVD/Blu-Ray visuals are substantially better than the broadcast versions.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The Kings of this trope, at least in the [[Real Robot]] genre (though [[Toei Animation]] was one of the originators).
* [[Long Runners]]: Sunrise itself has been around since 1972 and has since grown into one of the largest anime studios in Japan. Which is further helped along by its status as a subsidiary of Bandai Entertainment/Bandai Namco Holdings. This is also in addition to a number of its franchises, most notably ''[[Gundam]]'' (since 1979).
* [[Mascot]]: While they don't have an official one, one could argue that the [[Mobile Suit Gundam|RX-78 Gundam, Haro]] or Keroro might count.
* [[Merchandise-Driven]]: The '''Entire''' Gundam Franchise is built around this trope (The sales of the models actually saved it). Some of their other shows also fall into this category.
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Occasionally, there's a nod or reference to the Gundam franchise inserted in other Sunrise shows. This can range from similar themes to blatant [[Shout Out]]s.
* [[Off-Model]]: This occurs from time to time in several of their anime, especially in the original [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Gundam series]] and its sequels or spin-offs.
** A similar issue the company has become to be noted for is the fact that some of their characters are often given fatter-than-usual fingers in certain scenes (aptly [[Fan Nickname|nicknamed]] "Sausage Fingers").
