History Anime / CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Battle Lover/Battlelover/Batolover? Orite/Aurite?

* BookEnds: [[spoiler: The series begins in a public bath with a SeinfeldianConversation about food, and ends in the same public bath with a SeinfeldianConversation about food]]. Season 2 starts with yet another SeinfeldianConversation, this time about sand clocks.
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted in episode 12 [[spoiler: when Zundar sheepishly tells his boss that their HumongousMecha has run out of ammo.]]

* ChromosomeCasting: While girls have been mentioned, not a single one appeared on-screen through the series' two lots of 12 episodes. You may mistake Ryuu, Yumoto, or Akoya for one, though.

** All of the guys are this trope in school uniform (except Yumoto and En, who don't wear ties as part of their uniform), but especially the Conquest Club, befitting a trio of rich StudentCouncl members.

** All of the guys are in school uniform (except Yumoto and En, who don't wear ties as part of their uniform), but especially the Conquest Club.

* AlienAnimals: Wombat and Zundar. [[spoiler: Apparently all aliens are this. Wombat is ironically something of an animal rights activist, as he is trying to prevent an unscrupulous reality show producer from destroying the animals of Earth... which includes the humans.]]. Also Dadacha from season 2, who is a green squirrel-like alien.

* BetweenMyLegs: Happens in episode 7 with Io.

** En actually uses them to confuse his arm wrestling opponent in an early episode. It's super effective.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Episode 5's MonsterOfTheWeek, during his rant on bad things that could happen without remote controls, says "televisions forever locked on TV Tokyo". Three guesses as to what channel originally aired the show.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Surprisingly the case for this AffectionateParody in the form of the OVA, as while the Defense Club purified their final MonsterOfTheWeek with love without needing to transform, and Zundar and Dadacha are finally defeated, the third years still have to graduate, including En, Atsushi, Kinshiro, and Arima, and Wombat [[ButNowIMustGo parted ways with the Defense Club via train]], with Yumoto in particular saying his goodbyes and his thanks for the cuddles.]]

* ButtMonkey: Tawarayama's accidentally killed by Wombat, who decides to use his corpse as a host body of sorts. Needless to say, his dead body gets a ''lot'' of abuse, [[spoiler:even when he (briefly) comes BackFromTheDead in episode 7.]] Some of the Battle Lovers [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] this by noting that they've stopped caring whether Tawarayama gets hurt, since he's already dead.

* ChristmasEpisode: Episode 7 of the second season, ''A Christmas of Love and Miracles'', is set of Christmas Eve, with the main characters holding a Christmas party, and a holiday-themed MonsterOfTheWeek that wants to destroy Christmas. It originally aired in the middle of August.
* ChromosomeCasting: While girls have been mentioned, not a single one appeared on-screen through the series' two lots of 12 episodes. You may mistake Ryuu, Yumoto or Akoya for one, though.
* ClingyMacguffin: The [[TransformationTrinket lovracelets]] can't be taken off. [[spoiler: In first episode of the second season, the lovracelets are dissolved by Time Stopper attack. Fortunately, Wombat expected this to happen and already had new ones prepared.]]

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In episode 12 [[spoiler: the characters turn out to be in an ImmoralRealityShow. Clips of previous episode play on the television screens of alien viewers, which carries the implication that ''you'' were watching the reality show this whole time.]]

* MagicWand: Each of the Defense Club have one as part of their Battle Lover getup.

* OddCouple: The two pairs from the Battle Lovers that are in the same grade, namely En/Atsushi and Io/Ryuu. They are really close despite of the polar characteristics of each pairs. [[HoYay Fans likes to think it's in romantic meaning too.]]

* PaperThinDisguise: A rare justified example. When they're transformed, the technology in the Lovracelets both pixelates the the Earth Defense Club's faces and distorts their voices, making them unrecognizable to any onlookers. This is how no one can figure out who they really are even though their outfits don't do anything to hide their identities. Episode 6 reveals that the Conquest Club has the same kind of identity-hiding technology. Though, since the "highly advanced technology" is about as effective as ''no'' technology (it doesn't even hide all of Akoya's hair), it ends up as the same trope.

** All of the guys are this in school uniform (except Yumoto and En, who don't wear ties as part of their uniform), but especially the Conquest Club.

** Haruhiko and Akuhiko are wearing a customized uniform for most of the time.

* StargazingScene: Atsushi Kinugawa and his EvilFormerFriend Kinshirou Kusatsu lie on their backs stargazing as children. They promise to remain friends (they don't) and each make a wish on a shooting star. There's a repeating motif of shooting stars in the sky which parallels the relationship between the two. [[spoiler:The two wishes end up being central to the plot, as the apparent failure of Kinshirou's is his StartOfDarkness]].

** They mostly use ColorfulThemeNaming -- Scarlet and [[MakingASplash Cerulean]] are straight up examples, while [[WindIsGreen Epinard]] and Sulfur at least have a connection to their colors. [[PlayingWithFire Vesta]], named after the Roman goddess of the hearth, is the OddNameOut. The Conquest Club are a bit more connected with their metallic color scheme.

** [[spoiler:Episode 11]]. Sorry if you thought Boueibu was essentially plotless.

** The end of [[spoiler:Episode 10]]. And that's ''before'' the next episode teaser...
** Season 2 [[spoiler:episode 8]]. It's back to the MonsterOfTheWeek formula after the Christmas ep, we get some fun times in the snow [[spoiler:and then the Beppu twins walk right up to the Defense Club and reveal themselves...]]
* WishUponAShootingStar: Atsushi and Kinshirou make wishes on shooting stars as children, and there's a repeating motif of shooting stars in the sky which parallels the relationship between the two. [[spoiler:The two wishes end up being central to the plot, as the apparent failure of Kinshirou's is his StartOfDarkness]].

* BitingTheHandHumor: Episode 5's MonsterOfTheWeek, during his rant on bad things that could happen without remote controls, says "televisions forever locked on TV Tokyo". Three guesses as to what channel originally aired the show.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Surprisingly the case for this AffectionateParody in the form of the OVA, as while they purified their final MonsterOfTheWeek with love without needing to transform, and Zundar and Dadacha are finally defeated, the third years still have to graduate, including En, Atsushi, Kinshiro, snd Arima, and Wombat [[ButNowIMustGo parted ways with the Defense Club via train]], with Yumoto in particular saying his goodbyes and his thanks for the cuddles.]]

En Yufuin, Atsushi Kinugawa, Io Naruko and Ryuu Zaou make up the Earth Defense Club, a club at their all-boys school [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything which doesn't do]] [[NonIndicativeName any defending of Earth]] (or anything really). One day, En and Atsushi are hanging out at the local bath house, run by the family of their [[SenpaiKohai kouhai]] Yumoto Hakone, when a pink wombat claiming to be an alien falls out of a portal and tasks them with saving the Earth. Of course, like most sane people when faced with a talking marsupial, En and Atsushi [[RefusalOfTheCall run away]], but the wombat -- itself pursued by [[{{Keet}} Yumoto]] -- follows the boys back to their clubroom. There he grants the five teenagers [[TransformationTrinket “lovracelets”]], and forces the Earth Defense Club to start doing what their name says, much to their chagrin. Meanwhile, [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil the student council]] -- Kinshiro Kusatsu, Ibushi Arima and Akoya Gero -- meet Zundar, a green hedgehog from the planet Evil who wants to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the world]].

* {{Bishonen}}: Comes with the CastFullOfPrettyBoys.

''Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!'' (''Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE!'' -- [[LongTitle to save time, call it]] ''Boueibu'') is a 2015 anime which is a parody of MagicalGirl series, specifically of the MagicalGirlWarrior type. It's produced by Creator/{{Diomedea}} under the eye of Shinji Takamatsu (of ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys'' and ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' fame) although the original concept is credited to Kurari Umatani. Its main English page is [[http://boueibu.com/us/index.html here]] and [[http://www.ponimaga.jp/comic/list/vol20/ an online manga about the Conquest Club is here]] and [[http://www.ponimaga.jp/comic/list/vol38/ another online manga, this time about the Defense Club, is here]] (but they're in Japanese). Three light novels are also out there, and an OtomeGame for smartphones has been released. A season 2 was [[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-08-09/cute-high-earth-defense-club-love-anime-gets-2nd-season/.91462 confirmed]] August 2015, airing date July 2016 but it was done by Creator/StudioComet instead of Diomedea. A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHZeQrGVmvw live stage adaptation]] took place between March 10 and March 13 of 2016.

** In the second episode, En wonders what traits you need to be a main story character and whether appearing in the beginning of the episode means you are the most important one. Atsushi disagrees.
* LongTitle: Just look at that title!

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Pretty Boy Guardian Gakuran Akoya says, "Beauty is a sin," with correct English spelling and a Japanese translation on top.
** Dadacha speaks in impressively good English while introducing Haruhiko and Akihiko's performance.

* MiniDressOfPower: Averted, unlike ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie''.

* ChromosomeCasting: While girls have been mentioned, not a single one appeared on-screen through the series' two lots of 12 episodes. You may mistake Zaou, Hakone or Gero for one, though.

* ExcitedShowTitle: As per MagicalGirl standards. It could be part of the VerbalTic though.

* ColorCodedElements: The Defense Club mostly follows this trope as [[MakingASplash Cerulean has blue]], [[WindIsGreen Epinard has green]] (despite being named after spinach) and [[DishingOutDirt Sulfur has yellow]]. Exceptions are [[PlayingWithFire Vesta with flame]] and [[LightEmUp Scarlet with light]].
