History Anime / ReCreators

* SamusIsAGirl: The author of Code:Babylon, a hard-boiled CyberPunk manga starring Blitz Talker, is actually a woman, to her fellow creators' surprise.

* RageAgainstTheAuthor: InUniverse: TheSeries. Every bad guy has a near-murderous beef with their Creator (and the MUP trumps them all big time...), and the good guys still get at least one scene where they freak out once everything clicks together.
** Aliceteria's and Yuya's first on-screen interactions with their Creators are calling them out for writing stories full of suffering and trauma as entertainment, and [[spoiler: Magane straight up murders her Creator, then laments that he could have made her story so much more interesting than she felt it was.]]

* [[invoked]]EstrogenBrigade: Conversed in Episode 17, where the series shows several times that Yuya and Syo are so [[MrFanservice attractive]] that it attracts a bunch of [[YaoiFangirl girls]] to their manga and makes it almost "girlish" in the eyes of others.

* BlandNameProduct: Piclive (Pixiv), Mauchy (Google), [=YouMotion=] (Youtube/Dailymotion), and [=YcDonalds=] (UsefulNotes/McDonalds.)

* SenseFreak: The Creations mention several times how much tastier the food from the real world is, compared to the one from their worlds, and they are often seen happily gorging on it. One of the more extreme examples witnessed in episode 7 when Magane has a {{Beergasm}} after drinking from a milk carton.

* OutGambitted: The Elimination Chamber Festival was specially designed to contain Altair. However, Altair knew that all along and [[spoiler:played along with the expectations of the protagonists, simply so she can take advantage of audience acceptance of the festival's events to augment her own already considerable powers.]]
** Later [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] with how [[spoiler: Altair is ultimately stopped. Rather than out-thinking Altair through a complicated plan like everyone else has been trying, [[CuttingTheKnot Sota simply offers her what she's really wanted from the beginning:]] To be reunited with her Creator.]]

** On the flipside, [[spoiler: Altair is ultimately stopped by an [[InvertedTrope Inversion of this trope.]] Rather than out-thinking Altair through a complicated plan, Sota simply offers her what she's really wanted from the beginning: To be reunited with her Creator.]]

* [[invoked]]EnsembleDarkhorse: Discussed. Characters mention that popularity is a factor in who gets transported to the real world. Several of the Creations are side-characters or even antagonists in their original stories.

[[caption-width-right:225:Re:CREATORS]]

* DisappearsIntoLight: When a Created dies on the real world, their body disappears in a cluster of blue pixels. [[spoiler: Mamika, Alicetaria, Selesia, and Charon have all died like this.]]
* DisposableLoveInterest: It is understood that Selesia in her world has a love interest, which is Charon, the main character of her light novel and anime. At the same time, after she gets into the real world, she mentions him only a few times, although works of this type usually mean OneTrueLove between the protagonists. Possibly because Selesia is from the anime version and comes too early in her own story to have strong enough feelings for him yet.
** Averted in the later half, [[spoiler: since Charon does appear in the second arc of the story with the goal of bringing her back to their world.]]

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Discussed. Characters mention that popularity is a factor in who gets transported to the real world. Several of the Creations are side-characters or even antagonists in their original stories.

* {{Expy}}: In-Universe, [[spoiler: Altair was created by developing a more flat heroine from the popular MMO.]] Meteora and Marine are also {{Lampshaded}} that initially secondary work can become new and original if the author instead of blind copying provides it with a new background, appearance and especially a new personality. Thus, work based on another, can become a completely separate world, if it is sufficiently original and elaborated.

%% FantasticNuke: [[spoiler: ''Magical Splash '''FLARE!''' '']]

** GratuitousForeignLanguage: Evident in some of the characters' names, items and special abilities, such as Meteora ''Österreich'', Aliceteria ''February'', ''Vogelchevalier'' and so on. Justified in that the Japanese are actually fond of using random foreign words in their works to make them sound cooler.

* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Poor Aliceteria gets hit with this in episode 19. [[spoiler:She attempts to destroy Altair but the latter uses her Holopsicon so that any damage she suffers will be felt by the attacker instead. Next thing we know, Aliceteria gets killed by her own attacks.]]
** Episode 20 ramps it up when [[spoiler:the Creators introduce Sirius, a completely new character with powers comparable to Altair. She quickly destroys Altair and for a moment it appears the fight is over. But then, Altair uses Sirius' [[EmptyShell lack of personality]] to reconstruct herself.]]

* PanderingToTheBase: An interesting InUniverse example. In the show the main source of "power" of a creation is not a only well-written story, but a positive response from the audience. Moreover, in episode 10 [[spoiler: Matsubara saves Selesia's life and gives her a temporary power-up due to the positive reaction of her new character design on Twitter.]]
** It gets weaponized by the villain in episode 20, [[spoiler: where Altair notes she can use ''every possible power a fan has depicted her with'', due to the fact that her personal canon is ''every'' fanon.]]

* PurpleIsPowerful: A recurring theme to symbolize "power" among the Creations with the shadeof it as a measurement for how much power it contains, may it be Blitz's [[AbnormalAmmo gravity bullets]], Aliceteria's [[FinishingMove "Gotz von Berlichingen"]] or [[spoiler: Mamika's [[SuicideAttack final]] "[[FantasticNuke Magical Splash Flare]]"".]] Purple also, when braided into the character designs, also foreshadow the potential power of the ones wearing it, such as the dark purple-haired [[RealityWarper Magane]] or the bright-purple haired [[{{WildCard}} Yuuya]].

** Episode 12 reveals that MUP has brought yet another character into the real world: [[spoiler:Charon, Selesia's friend.]]

* TomatoInTheMirror: Selesia to Souta: "How would you like it if you were on display 24/7 and unaware of it?"

** All this is beaten by Episode 19, where [[spoiler: Alicetaria is killed a futile attack on Altair, followed by Selesia dying with Charon in a suicide attack.]]

** [[spoiler: Magane herself is absent from the final episode. She was last seen boarding a plane for somewhere, without a hint on whether she's still in the real world or not.]]

* YouBastard: {{Discussed|Trope}} by the Creations when they find out their ordeals, adventures and battles are seen as entertainment by the people of the real world. Some, like Aliceteria, do not take this well and become aggressive; others, like Meteora, are simply glad to be alive and thank the Creators for allowing them to exist in the first place.

* ShipTease: The show does not have romantic accent, however Aliceteria/Mamika, Sota/Meteora, and Meteora/Selesia occasionally have rather ambiguous scenes, like when Sota is holding an injured Meteora´s hands or when Mamika [[spoiler: confesses to Aliceteria that she likes her before heading off for her FinalBattle.]]
** Played right in the 19th episode, when [[spoiler: Selesia confess her love for Charon and they die together as StarCrossedLovers.]]

%%* RageAgainstTheAuthor: InUniverse: TheSeries.

* TitleDrop: The subtitle for each episode is also a line spoken by one of the characters in the same episode.

* RageAgainstTheHeavens: This seems to be the motive of Military Uniform Princess. [[spoiler: It's implied a lot of this is directed at Sota]]
* RageAgainstTheAuthor: InUniverse: TheSeries.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: [[spoiler:Mamika Kirameki]] is rarely if ever mentioned by the others after making a HeroicSacrifice. There is eventually get a very brief nod in the epilogue, with a shot of an ad for [[spoiler:the new series featuring her and Aliceteria.]]

* BittersweetEnding: The world is saved from destruction, and [[spoiler:Setsuna is resurrected by Sota and Magane to reunite with Altair in their new, happy life in a separate world]]. However, this was achieved by deaths of [[spoiler:Mamika, Aliceteria, Selesia and Charon]], which also [[spoiler:traumatized their authors]].

* {{Anticlimax}}: In the third episode, after a great deal of effort on the part of [[spoiler: Selesia's writer and illustrator]], she prepares to test her new powers, the Sawano sound track soars, she strikes a dramatic pose...[[spoiler: and nothing happens.]] [[spoiler: Reversed for the finale of the first cour as the writer posts the story snippet and image to twitter. Starting up a media frenzy and giving Selesia a short term god mode.]]

* BlandNameProduct: Piclive (Pixiv), Mauchy (Google), [=YouMotion=] (Youtube/Dailymotion), and [=YcDonalds=] (McDonalds.)

* PenPals: Souta and [[spoiler:Altair's creator Setsuna]] were this. [[spoiler:They met online after both became impressed with each other's art. They became close friends by exchanging text messages, but they apparently met in person only once. Unfortunately, Souta deliberately stopped messaging Setsuna when she got too popular online. He even refused to contact her at the time of her depression, which ultimately pushed her into committing suicide.]]

* HoldingHands: Frequently between multiple characters. [[spoiler: The most notable being during Mamika's LoveConfession to Aliceteria before Mamika left for a battle she knew she wouldn't win.]] Most often this method is used to comfort and persuade Sota into being more forward about the truth with his friends [[spoiler: [[DarkSecret to a disappointing amount of success]].]]

* EvilVersusOblivion: How the villains tend to work. [[spoiler:Magane represents evil, wanting to take over the world ForTheEvulz whereas Altair merely wants all the worlds to be destroyed. Magane explicitly mentions that Altair is on her hit list.]]

* [[invoked]]EstrogenBrigade: Conversed in Episode 17, where the series shows several times that Yuya and Syo are so [[MrFanservice attractive]] and have so much HomoeroticSubtext among themselves that it attracts a bunch of [[YaoiFangirl girls]] to their manga and makes it almost "girlish" in the eyes of others.

** Averted in the later half, [[spoiler: since Charon does appear in the second arc of the story with the goal of bringing her back to their world.]] [[spoiler:While he does die in his focus episode, he dies ''alongside'' Selesia in a tragic battle rather than by himself and leaving Selesia conveniently single.]]

** Even the very idea of KarmicDeath, or even that a villain ''must'' face punishment at all. [[spoiler: Sota's solution to stopping Altair isn't to overpower or defeat her, but to simply give her what she really wants (Setsuna, her Creator), thereby taking away Altair's reason for destroying the world. Essentially asking: 'So what if TheBadGuyWins and [[KarmaHoudini gets a happy ending]]? So long as the world is saved and no innocent lives are lost, does it really matter?]]

* ApocalypseHow: Meteora believes that a Class Z will occur if they cannot contain the spread of characters that break the rules of Earth's logic. Everything will reset to the beginning, destroying every world.

* BigBadEnsemble: As of episode 8, both the Military Uniform Princess and Magane have become separate threats to the protagonists.
* BittersweetEnding: The world is saved from destruction, and [[spoiler:Setsuna is resurrected by Sota and Magane to reunite with Altair in their new, happy life in a separate world]]. However, this was achieved by deaths of [[spoiler:Mamika, Aliceteria, Selesia and Charon]], which also [[spoiler:incredibly traumatized their authors]].
