10	!!The Radioplay Contains Examples Of:
11
12	%%* {{Animesque}}- The artwork which serves as the visual aid for the show.
13	* ArtShift- Often, for more cute or comical scenes, chibi art is used in place of the normal, fairly realistic Animesque art. Also, with the addition of other artists to the staff, you notice a distinctive shift in styles.
14	%%* {{Bifauxnen}}- Whether Vienna qualifies for this or {{Tomboy}} is up to interpretation.
15	* [[TheTeaser Cold Open]]- The opening to the first episode qualifies as this, though each subsequent episode opens in media res.
16	* DeathGlare- Ryo gives "the dirtiest looks" ever seen when he's upset.
17	* DependingOnTheArtist- The art for the episode stays fairly consistent, but whether it's done in color or black and white, pencil or pen, etc, is entirely dependent upon which of the directors is drawing the art for the episode.
18	* EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench- Lady [[MeaningfulName Jolie]] fits this trope to a T.
19	* EvilSoundsDeep- Three of the likely villainous characters in the ColdOpen, [[spoiler:Amon, Mammon, and Asmodeus]], fit this trope.

25	* LoveInterest- [[spoiler:Victor is getting set up as this.]]
26	* MomentKiller- Derian's sudden entrance into the semi-sweet scene with Leonard's thoughts not only kills the mood- it kills the MUSIC.
27	* MrFanservice: Leonard serves as an in-universe example.
28	* MusicalSpoiler- [[spoiler:Even before TheReveal to the audience regarding Victor's... [[OurVampiresAreDifferent condition]]... There's a subtle hint for those who watch ''Manga/VampireKnight'': the music that plays when he's in scene is Zero Kiryu's theme.]]
29	* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack- Vienna is rarely drawn outside of her uniform, as most of the first few episodes take place at the University.
30	* SheCleansUpNicely- Vienna, most definitely.
31	* SomethingAboutARose- Victor seems to have a lot of roses on-hand in episode four. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], given he's the school garderner.

40	** Michael and Nurse Grace, definitely.
