History Anime / CoyoteRagtimeShow

The [[TwelveEpisodeAnime twelve-episode series]] basically follows the misadventures of Mister, the leader of a branch of outlaws referred to as 'Coyotes', and his adopted daughter-thing Franca, who holds the keys to a massive treasure that's the legacy of her father, a legendary Coyote. However, they are not only being pursued by a [[EvilIsSexy sexy, gothic woman named Marciano]], but her band of '12 [=SISTERs=]', a band of robots dressed head to toe in [[ElegantGothicLolita Goth-Loli]]. Really.

* BlingBlingBang: April has a [[CoolGun gold Luger.]]

* BreakOutTheMuseumPiece: Nearly all of the Twelve Sisters carry WWII-era [[CoolGun firearms,]] and seem to especially favor German guns like April's Luger.

* AmbiguousDisorder: Chelsea seems to have dyslexia, stumbling over words she reads.

* WeaponOfChoice: Most of the major characters have one specific weapon model they use.

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Chelsea either bleaches her hair or it's just randomly like that (after all, natural pink hair exists here too). She doesn't grow roots in while spending a week with Angelica, either way.

* {{Meganekko}}: February is a traditionally cute glasses girl.

* FunnyAfro: Super Soul and Swamp both have these; both are huge and Swamp's is partially dyed orange.

* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: Angelica plays this role, though [[FirstEpisodeSpoiler we at first think]] [[DecoyProtagonist she's the lead]].

* CutLexLuthorACheck: The super-heist Bruce pulled off in the backstory, and which is central to the whole plot, had him infiltrate the bank that runs all of the galaxy's finances and climbing its ladder to obtain the authorization to its main vault. Along the way he revolutionized the bank's mangement, earned it billions more, and would have remained with a very good settlement for him and his daughter for life had he remained a loyal employee. Mister muses that [[JustAGangster in the end, Bruce wanted the rep of pulling off the heist much more]].

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Evil as they may be, the 12 sisters seem to genuinely love and care for each other. They also seem to think their mother, Marciano, cares for them, though she sure doesn't seem to show it; in the end, [[spoiler:she even reveals that she calls them her daughters because people belittled her for not being able to have children. Which would be great if she actually treated them like her children]].

* GeniusDitz: Chelsea can barely ''read'', but she has PhotographicMemory.

%%* {{Keet}}: Katana.

* MayDecemberRomance: [[spoiler:It's revealed later in the story that Angelica has a crush on Mister, despite him being at least thirty years her senior.]]

* OldSolider: Old ''Outlaw'' technically but Mister's gotta be in his fifties.

%%* RoboCam

* DarkSkinnedBlond: Chelsea apparently bleaches her hair.

Beautifully animated and generally exciting (as well as lots and lots of explosions and spaceships). It's a fun tale that isn't a masterpiece, but worth at least one viewing.

* BadassGrandpa: Not an actual grandfather, but Mister has to be in his fifties at least.

* AmbiguousInnocence: All the Sisters, especially the young-looking ones. They treat mass murder like a game and are more interested in clothes, and it's not clear that they really know what they're doing. [[spoiler:May gets a redemption arc when she has little choice but to follow along with Angelica, and April seems to have a change of heart at the end, but those two were more mature.]]

* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: The Sisters can eat regular food for some reason. [[spoiler:As shown in the last episode, they can also cry.]]

* BoardToDeath: Marciano is being scolded by the rest of the council of evil for causing an undue disturbance. Her response is to smile like a psycho; the next time we see the board, they're in the process of being slaughtered by the 12 Sisters. One of the board members that hasn't been killed yet grumbles that this is a bit of an over-reaction.

%%* CuteMute: June.

* TheEndOrIsIt: Sure, Mister and the crew were able to defeat Marciano's guild and save Planet Graceland from being destroyed while contributing to the end of the civil war there. [[spoiler: But some of the 12 Sisters are still alive. April, at least, wants revenge for Marciano's defeat...]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Evil as they may be, the 12 sisters seem to genuinely love and care for each other. They also seem to think their mother, Marciano, cares for them, though she sure doesn't seem to show it; however, in the end, [[spoiler:she reveals that she calls them her daughters because she can't have children]].

** Mister and his team bear a similarity to the A-Team.

* DayOfTheWeekName: The 12 Sisters, named for the 12 months

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Mister drops a Guild soldier with a head-shot... behind him, without looking.

* MusicalThemeNaming: There's a lot going on here. The planet they're chasing is called "[[Music/ElvisPresley Graceland]]" and the bomb deactivation code is [=ELVIS082=]. The space gate they travel through midway through the series is [[Music/TheBand Big Pink]], the pirate king's name is Blues, and so on.

* ActorAllusion: [[Creator/TomokazuSeki Sousuke Sagara]] [[Creator/ChrisPatton is still able to kick ass]], even though he seemed to get his small arms/demolitions training from non-military sources.
** [[Manga/{{Area88}} Katana and Mister first met in the 1980s when the Cold War was getting hot in Asran.]]
