Of recent animation, it may have most in common with ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''; both deliberately subvert expectations of the genre, (though not necessarily always the same ones) and have interesting, well-animated combat and deep character development.

Munto was Creator/KyotoAnimation's first original project, and has spawned two {{OVA}}s. Those were expanded to a nine-episodes series; the [=OVAs=] are covered in the first five and a half episodes, but with some updates.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Yumemi and Ichiko. With some [[AmbiguouslyGay confusion]] on Ichiko's end.

* {{Regeneration}}: The celestial beings are very hard to kill indeed, especially the more powerful ones. [[spoiler: Contributing to Yumemi's Damsel in Distress status as a scarily fragile person.]]

Except the primary Magical Girl is powerless on her own, it's set in a world where magic is running out (which would kill ''everyone''), the protagonist's goal is to destroy the seal keeping the [[SealedEvilInACan ancient enemies]] away, and contrary to expectations going off to a different world does not mean your mundane origin stops caring.

* OnlyChildSyndrome: In the upper world. Actually, there are only two children period - three, if Munto counts. [[spoiler: This is because making children would be a waste of energy that would cause the world to end sooner. Also, don't you think bringing children into such a world is a bit.. evil?]]

* ZettaiRyouiki: For no obvious reason (except maybe [[FanService the most obvious there is]]), [[http://fabien.li/tvtropes/Munto_TV_9_14.54.jpg the three girls get to wear]] a grade-A-zettai ryouiki SailorFuku for about one minute.
--> '''Ichiko''': [[LampshadeHanging Is this his fetish?]]

* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: Yumemi gives one to [[spoiler: Gntarl]] in the climax.

* EyesOfGold: Munto.

Those are now being expanded to a full series; the [=OVAs=] are covered in the first five and a half episodes, but with some updates, so whether you've seen them or not there's not excuse for not watching.

* GreenEyes: Yumemi, showing her special abilities and destiny.

* OneWordTitle

* {{Badass}}: Any commanding character-- Munto, Munto's commanders, Leica, and any time Gass shows up.

* RedHeadedHero: Munto.

* TheObiWan: Gass towards Munto. Ryuely has shades of this, but generally directs it to Toche.

* DisappearsIntoLight: What almost happened to Munto after his battle with the Akuto automaton weapon in the first OVA.

* BookEnds: The Anime pretty much starts with Yumemi walking out the door of her house to go to school and ends pretty much the same. [[spoiler: The difference is that in the former she uses an umbrella and in the latter she doesn't showing that she's utterly discarded her former IJustWantToBeNormal status.]]

** BadassDamsel: This is while facing down [[PersonOfMassDestruction Heavenly Beings]]. She might be physically the weakest being in the Heavenly Kingdoms, but it doesn't stop her at all.
