History Anime / FushigiboshiNoFutagohime

* SwissArmyTears: [[spoiler:When Fine and Rein lose their hearts permanently after defeating the Black Crystal Planet, it takes Bright and Shade's ManlyTears to revive them.]]
* Tearjerker: An example is episode 20.Pearl, the ocean princess, is upset because she misses her parents who are traveling through the seas due to their duties. However, thanks to Fine and Rein, she has the chance to see them, even if they are far away from home.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: About ''eighteen'' of them in the first series alone.

Fine and Rein are fraternal [[AlwaysIdenticalTwins twins]] who are also [[EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses princesses]] of the Sunny Kingdom, one of the seven kingdoms of the Wonder Planet, a hollow planet with a floating sun in the middle. They also happen to be [[InformedAbility "the most un-Princesslike Princesses ever"]]. Fine (the red-haired one) is a TomboyPrincess with a love of [[BigEater sweet things]] while Rein (the blue-haired one) is a GenkiGirl who loves cute things but gets [[LoveMakesYouCrazy a little insane when it comes to romance]].

* BiggerBad: [[spoiler: The Black Crystal is ultimately behind ''everything'' bad that happens throughout both seasons and the backstory, from the original weakening of the Blessing of the Sun to Boomo's corruption to Blessing's second weakening to the EvilChancellor's goal to TakeOverTheWorld to Bright's FaceHeelTurn ''AND'' to the shenanigans pulled by the Black Planet Academy. Every single bit of it is ultimately the Black Crystal's fault.]]

* PettingZooPeople: Most of the inhabitants of the Wonder Planet are very much anthropomorphic.

''Fushigiboshi no Futagohime'' ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Twin Princess of [sic] Wonder Planet"]]) is a {{shoujo}} MagicalGirl series from the director of ''Anime/SailorMoon'', Junichi Sato. Initially a [[http://futagohime.jp/original concept with its own interactive webpage]] by BIRTHDAY (also known for their ''VideoGame/DaikaijuuMonogatari'' games), Hal Film Maker took the idea and adapted it into an anime, which began in April of 2005.

It later got a second series, ''Fushigiboshi No Futagohime Gyu!'', in which Fine and Rein get sent to [[BoardingSchool Princess School]] in order to receive a certification that will allow them to become Queens. During the orientation of new students, they are presented with a legendary bell that will only ring when a certain person, [[TheChosenOne destined to become the "Universal Princess"]] touches it. Until this time, the bell has never rung until Fine and Rein touch it, transforming them into [[FrillyUpgrade newer, frillier, poofier dresses]]. Meanwhile, a strange dark entity has begun to possess people all over campus, causing them to descend into irreversible depression. Unlike the previous series, it follows a standard MonsterOfTheWeek format and delves into MagicalGirlWarrior themes instead of the CuteWitch style it originally had (presumably due to the success of a similar format in the second half of the original series). Part of the reason of why it was different was because Junichi Sato left in the beginning of its run, most likely due to CreativeDifferences. [[BrokenBase Some cite the sequel as something that should have never existed]]

* OnePersonBirthdayParty: Though not a birthday but used in a similar context, in Bright spends an entire episode preparing for a lavish party to celebrate becoming the king after taking over the Wonder Planet. While decorating, he imagines his {{Love Interest|s}} Fine showing up. Fine does show up to talk some sense into him but is repulsed [[spoiler:by his BrainwashedAndCrazy nature]]. She's later saved by her friends, including Rein, a {{Fangirl}} of Bright, and Bright's sister, Altezza, both who are shocked at his behavior as well. They leave him all alone while he celebrates sadly to himself.

* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:Naginyo, in the first series, proves to be a stock character who just shows up at random parts in OnceAnEpisode just to sing random songs on his harp while [[{{Squee}} charming the ladies]]. Then, 20 episodes later, it turns out he was a messenger sent by Princess Grace THE WHOLE TIME.]]

* EvilCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:Bright, when he is possessed by the Black Crystal]].

* FrillsOfJustice: Fine and Rein's power levels are typically measured by how [[PimpedOutDress pimped out]] their dresses are.

* {{MacGuffin}}: The whole Grace Stones ordeal.

* OddlyNamedSequel: Futago Hime ''Gyu!'', with "gyu" being a Japanese onomatopoeia for squeezing (often used for hand squeezing or tight hugs).
* OfficialCouple: Fine/Shade, Rein/Bright, Altezza/Auler, Elizabeta/Fango, Calorie/Tauri, Milro/Pastel... and that's not even including the kings and queens! Even [[PuppyLove Milky and Nalro]] got some {{Ship Tease}} before they even learned how to speak!
* OnePersonBirthdayParty: Though not a birthday but used in a similar context, in Bright spends an entire episode preparing for a lavish party to celebrate becoming the king after taking over the Wonder Planet. While decorating, he imagines his LoveInterest Fine showing up. Fine does show up to talk some sense into him but is repulsed [[spoiler:by his BrainwashedAndCrazy nature]]. She's later saved by her friends, including Rein, a {{Fangirl}} of Bright, and Bright's sister, Altezza, both who are shocked at his behavior as well. They leave him all alone while he celebrates sadly to himself.

* [[StopHavingFunGuy Stop Having Fun Girl]]: Altezza takes the "Best Food Princess" competition a [[SeriousBusiness little too seriously]]... Heck, episode 22 reveals that she [[HardWorkHardlyWorks trained more diligently]] for the previous parties than all the other princesses ''combined''.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In ''Gyu!'', the vice principal of the Royal Wonder Academy resembles Chancellor Roman from the first series, from the character design to even his voice actors. The same treatment is given to Rarau and Yayan, the vice principal's assistants, who seem to be [[{{Expy}} Expies]] of Rau and Yan, Roman's mooks, in the first series.

** Milro has an interesting case since her name was spelled "Mirlo" in the first [[AllThereInTheManual character fanbook]], but "Milro" in episode 19 and in the second character fanbook. One has to wonder if "Mirlo" was a typo or if TheyJustDidntCare about the proper romanization of her name. Last, some fansubs write her name out by her literal Japanese pronunciation, "Miruro", but it's not {{Word of God}} so it has less validity than her other names. The fansubs romanized Truth's name as "Toulouse" and Altezza's as "Altessa" before the character fanbook came out with the official romanizations. Some people still refer to the characters by their fansub names.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The first season had this in spades. ''Gyu!' introduced ''even more characters!''

* RequisiteRoyalRegalia: The princesses all get [[CoolCrown tiaras]], OperaGloves, and a PimpedOutDress. Fine and Rein gain sceptres when they transform and their dresses [[BuffySpeak out pimp]] all other dresses. Bright, Shade, and Tio get crowns in addition to swords and capes.

* RunningGag: The twins' "I hate it" dance, Tio trying (and failing) to help out, Poomo [[Deadpansnarker muttering about his situation]], to name a few.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: The show's official title in English is ''Twin Princess of Wonder Planet'', which is shown on the first EyeCatch as well as TV Tokyo's English website. "Twin ''Princesses''" is the grammatically correct term. Since Japanese doesn't have any plural markers for its nouns, you'd let them off for that and expect the title to be corrected later on -- but ''nope''! Even when it was licensed in European countries, the same title was ''still'' kept!
