History Anime / CyberteamInAkihabara

A piece of TheNineties, ''CTA'' is an obscure but surprisingly influential anime. Noticeably born in the wave of ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]]'', it was one of the first true examples of MagicalGirlGenreDeconstruction made famous many years later by ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' (which sports enough similarities in characters and plot to count for probable inspirations). It is also one of the main works of 90s anime character designer Tsukasa Kotobuki, also known by ''Anime/SaberMarionetteJ'' and ''VideoGame/BattleArenaToshinden''.

* ACupAngst: Kamome, who wants to have bigger boobs for GoldDigger reasons and stuff her bra in consequence. To make things worse, she has Uzura, a lesbian with an open preference for flat-chested girls, pining for her - in fact, Uzura turned her affects towards Kamome because she has ''less'' breasts than Hibari, her former crush. She eventually gains bigger boobs by the film.

%% * DarkMagicalGirl: Tsubame

** The Divas are all named after Greek goddesses, with [[DarkMagicalGirl Tsubame's]] being named after the Greek equivalent of the Furies — infernal goddesses of vengeance. And since this is a MagicalGirl show, the heroine's Diva is naturally named after the [[ThePowerOfLove goddess of love]].

* GoodParents: Unusually for a MagicalGirl heroine, Hibari has both her parents and has a good relationship with them.

* TheBeard: In episode 8, Tsugumi [[SweetPollyOliver crossdresses]] and pretends to be [[LesYay Hibari's boyfriend]] so that Hibari will have an excuse to turn down [[SchoolgirlLesbians Uzura]].

** Cyberteam's [[http://soundcloud.com/theshugotv/cyberteam-in-akihabara-bgm transformation theme]] was later [[https://soundcloud.com/theshugotv/yu-gi-oh-bgm-the-priests reused in]] the Japanese version of [[{{Anime/YuGiOh}} Yu-Gi-Oh!]], both series share the same composer, Shinkichi Mitsumune
** In the later episodes there's a ''very'' [[https://picosong.com/wXBTF/ obvious rip off]] of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnH_zwVmiuE Pick Up The Pieces]], you gotta wonder how Mitsumune wasn't sued for ripping off this ''and'' the above mentioned Disco Inferno with virtually no difference
