''Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE!'' or ''Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!'' ([[LongTitle to save time, call it]] Boueibu) is a Winter2015Anime which is a parody of MagicalGirl series, specifically of the MagicalGirlWarrior type. It's produced by {{Creator/Diomedea}} under the eye of Shinji Takamatsu (of ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys'' and ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' fame) although the original concept is credited to Kurari Umatani. Its main English page is [[http://boueibu.com/us/index.html here]] and [[http://www.ponimaga.jp/comic/293 an online manga about the Conquest Club is here]] (but it's in Japanese). A light novel is also out there...although the only thing to distinguish its name from the anime is the word ''NOVEL!''. An OtomeGame for smartphones has also been released.
En Yufuin, Atsushi Kinugawa, Io Naruko and Ryuu Zaou make up the Earth Defense Club, a club at their all-boys school [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything which doesn't do]] [[NonIndicativeName any defending of Earth]] (or anything really). One day, En and Atsushi are hanging out at the local hot spring, run by the family of their [[SempaiKouhai kouhai]] Yumoto Hakone, when a pink wombat claiming to be an alien falls out of a portal and tasks them with saving the Earth. Of course, like most sane people when faced with a talking marsupial, En and Atsushi [[RefusalOfTheCall run away]], but the wombat - itself pursued by [[{{Keet}} Yumoto]] - follows the boys back to their clubroom. There he grants the five teenagers [[TransformationTrinket “lovracelets”]], and forces the Earth Defense Club to start doing what their name says, much to their chagrin. Meanwhile, [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil the student council]] - Kinshiro Kusatsu, Ibushi Arima and Akoya Gero - meet Zundar, a green hedgehog from the planet Evil who wants to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the world]].

Now there's a [[Characters/BinanKoukouChikyuuBoueibuLove characters page]]. Appropriate tropes go there.
----
!! Boueibu contains examples of these tropes [[VerbalTic LOVE!]]:
* AffectionateParody: Of MagicalGirlWarrior series and their associated tropes.
* AlienAnimals: Wombat and Zundar. [[spoiler: Apparently all aliens are this. Wombat is ironically something of an animal rights activist, as he is trying to prevent an unscrupulous reality show producer from destroying the animals of Earth...which includes the humans..]]
* ArtShift: Occasionally. The most notable example is Wombat's {{Flashback}} in episode 2.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: A notable subversion during the TransformationSequence. In contrast to every magical girl ever sporting a distinct lack of nipples despite total nudity while transforming, it seems that these guys are actually just self-conscious and try very hard to hide their bits. If you watch the transformation sequences carefully, they're never properly uncovered. Never is this so obvious as when Sulfur [[HandOrObjectUnderwear covers his crotch]].
* BetweenMyLegs: Happens in episode 7 with Io.
* BigWhat: A variation. The [[WhamEpisode first revelation]] in Episode 12 has the Battle Lovers all exclaim "What did you say?!" En then says that [[ICantBelieveImSayingThis he'd never thought he'd ever say those words in his life.]] This happens two more times in episode 12, and En {{lampshades}} it each time.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Episode 5's MonsterOfTheWeek, during his rant on bad things that could happen without remote controls, says "televisions forever locked on TV Tokyo". Three guesses as to what channel airs the show.
* BishieSparkle: Akoya is prone to this. Arima has an ImagineSpot with Akoya in a {{Gonk}} style but still sparkling!
** The show is a {{Bishonen}} overload so every character's going to get it at one stage or another. Within two chapters of the online manga, everyone in the Conquest Club has gotten this trope - even Thunder.
* {{Bishonen}}: Comes with the CastFullOfPrettyBoys.
* BookEnds: [[spoiler: The series begins in a public bath with a SeinfeldianConversation about food, and ends in a public bath with a SeinfeldianConversation about food.]]
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted in episode 12 [[spoiler: when Zundar sheepishly tells his boss that their HumongousMecha has run out of ammo.]]
* ButtMonkey: Tawarayama's accidentally killed by Wombat, who decides to use his corpse as a host body of sorts. Needless to say, his dead body gets a ''lot'' of abuse, [[spoiler:even when he (briefly) comes BackFromTheDead in episode 7.]] Some of the Battle Lovers [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] this by noting that they've stopped caring whether Tawarayama gets hurt, since he's already dead.
* CallingYourAttacks: The first episode gives us gems like Something-or-other STOOORMMM and Random SPLAAAAAAASH!
** It gets ''worse'' when they start personalizing their attacks. Added Margin Bomber?
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Not a girl in sight, [[DudeLookslikeALady although you might mistake Akoya, Ryuu or Yumoto for one]].
* CatchPhrase: "What is love making?" for the [=PVs=]. [[FreudWasRight Cue the sniggers.]]
* ChromosomeCasting: While girls have been mentioned, not a single one appeared on-screen through the series' 12 episodes. You may mistake Zaou, Hakone or Gero for one, though.
* ClingyMacguffin: The [[TransformationTrinket lovracelets]] can't be taken off.
* ClubStub: The Defense Club itself, which hovers on the life-or-death boundary between four and five members.
* ColorCodedCharacters:
** Yumoto: Red
** En: Blue
** Atsushi: Green
** Io: Yellow
** Ryuu: Pink
* ColorCodedElements: The Defense Club mostly follows this trope as [[MakingASplash Cerulean has blue]], [[WindIsGreen Epinard has green]] (despite being named after spinach) and [[DishingOutDirt Sulfur has yellow]]. Exceptions are [[PlayingWithFire Vesta with flame]] and [[LightEmUp Scarlet with light]].
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The opening, ''Zettai Muteki Fallin' Love'', is sung by the Battle Lovers, while the ending ''I miss you no 3 meters'' is sung by the Chevaliers.
* DragQueen: One appears in episode 7 and flirts with Yumoto.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: The "More Better Love Making". First Yumoto gets it, and then the others - including the Conquest Club - gets it, too.]]
* EvilFormerFriend: Kinshiro to Atsushi.
* EvilLaugh: Kinshiro indulges in this a bit in episode 8.
* ExcitedShowTitle: As per MagicalGirl standards. It could be part of the VerbalTic though.
* {{Fanservice}} : For girls (and guys who like guys), though. Let's see, the show starts with two bishonen taking a bath, their alternate base (after the school club) is the bath house, and they are magical boys...
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In episode 10, Gora apparently recognizes his brother in Battle Lovers form. [[spoiler: In episode 12, Gora is revealed to have been a Battle Lover in the past.]]
* FountainOfYouth: The MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 4 has this effect on the Battle Lovers, as well as the rest of the school.
* FullFrontalAssault: The Battle Lovers are forced to do this when taking on the MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 4, after [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing they shrink but their clothes do not.]]
* GenderFlip: This anime basically takes every MagicalGirl trope and applies the said tropes to bishonens.
* GenreSavvy: "If we're in a farce, we might as well get it over with quickly"
* GratuitousEnglish: The VerbalTic mentioned below.
** The Battle Lovers live and breathe this trope, in direct contrast to the [[GratuitousFrench Chevaliers.]]
* GratuitousFrench: "Epinard" and the basis of the three Chevalier names.
* HatePlague: The MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 8 causes a non-murderous kind, with En as one of the victims.
* HowDoIShotWeb: When the guys are getting to grips with their love sticks in episode one.
--> '''Yumoto''': "[[GenreSavvy Can I shoot a beam with this?]] Can I? Can I? *Shoots beam* [[OverlyLongGag I can!]]"
* HotSpringsEpisode: Since Yumoto's family runs a hot spring place and the Defense Club goes there often, nearly ''every episode'' is this.
* IHaveTheHighGround: The Conquest Club are the undisputed champions of this. The number of times which they ''don't'' indulge in it can be counted on one hand.
* [[HumongousMecha Humongous]] TransformingMecha: [[spoiler: In the final episode, Hireashi and Zundar pilot a porcupine-fish ship that turns into a giant robot (cause Hireashi is a fish and Zundar is a porcupine). RealityEnsues when they run out of ammo...]]
* ImagineSpot: Akoya is prone to this in the online manga, a notable one (read "notable" as "hilarious") being a [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] to [[SailorMoon Usagi meeting Luna]]. (Thunder gets Luna's part.)
* ImmoralRealityShow: [[spoiler: The Conquest Club turns out to be part of an alien reality show called "Can I Destroy the Earth?". Wombat turns out to be the equivalent of an animal rights activist.]]
* ImportedAlienPhlebotinum: The [[TransformationTrinket loveraclets and the conquest rings]], which are alien technologies that puts the 'magic' into magical boys.
* InadvertentEntranceCue: Done in episode one, when Yumoto and Wombat!Tawarayama enter the Earth Defense Club's club room moments after the boys had just finished discussing their need for a fifth member and a club advisor.
* InASingleBound: Apparently a [[RequiredSecondaryPowers built in function]] of the Loveraclets.
* JapaneseSchoolClub: The Defense Club is one, as are the Student Council (albeit the one in charge of the rest) and the Press Society.
* LampshadeHanging: Considering how this is an AffectionateParody of MagicalGirl series and all their cliches, there's plenty of this.
** In episode seven, Atsushi points out that even though Ryu calls himself a {{Casanova}}, [[UrbanLegendLoveLife no one has ever seen him with a woman before]].
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In episode 12 [[spoiler: the characters turn out to be in an ImmoralRealityShow. Clips of previous episode play on the television screens of alien viewers, which carries the implication that ''you'' were watching the reality show this whole time.]]
* LongTitle: Just look at that title!
* MachoCamp: Episode 7 has an entire ''beach'' full of these.
* MagicWand: Each of the Defense Club have one as part of their Battle Lover getup.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: Magical ''Boys'', actually. The Battle Lovers (Defense Club) and Chevaliers (Conquest Club) are two separate teams of magical boys. The anime as a whole is an AffectionateParody of the concept.
* MakeAWish: Atsushi and Kinshiro do this on shooting stars as children, [[spoiler:with dire results. But all ends well]].
* MakeUpIsEvil: Kinshiro in episode 11 after he [[spoiler: transforms into Dark Aurite]].
* MegatonPunch: How Yumoto finally takes down episode one's MonsterOfTheWeek [[EpicFail after the super flashy finishing move fails to do any actual finishing.]]
--> '''Atsushi''': "Physical force?"
--> '''En''': "What was the point of that finishing move earlier?"
** Io delivers a good one to the screw-monster in episode 6, [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punching it across the school yard]].
* MenAreTough: This show's going out of its way to [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide prove this trope can be averted]].
** Played straight with Yumoto's older brother and some of the minor characters.
* MiniDressOfPower: Averted, unlike ''LightNovel/KoreWaZombieDesuKa''.
* ModestyTowel: Common due to the abundance of hot spring scenes. The Press Society even get in on the act in episode 5.
** So does [[spoiler: the Conquest Club]] in the final episode. Special mention goes to [[spoiler: Akoya]] who even covers his chest.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: In the tradition of MagicalGirl shows, most episodes have a villain that represents a source of teenage trouble.
* MrFanservice: Each one of the boys play a different kind of this trope to their intended demographic. Even some of the side characters are this, which is saying something.
* NoHeterosexualSexAllowed: Zundar's [[InsaneTrollLogic amazing]] plan in episode 3 - use the powers of the MonsterOfTheWeek to turn all the men in the world gay, destroying the human race's ability to reproduce. The irony lies in the show's homoeroticism and single-sex cast.
* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: In episode 2, Yumoto completely fails to recognize that ''he's'' the 'extremely belligerent individual' in Wombat's tale.
** Episode 9's victim fails to realize that the "guy who can't read the mood" a group of students are talking about is him. Well, he does eventually realize it but only after a big InternalMonologue.
* OddCouple: The two pairs from the Battle Lovers that's in the same grade, namely En/Atsushi and Io/Ryuu. They are really close despite of the polar characteristics of each pairs. [[HoYay And fans likes to think it's in romantic meaning too.]]
* OneGenderSchool: The main characters go to an all-boys school.
* PaperThinDisguise: A rare justified example. When they're transformed, the technology in the Lovracelets both pixelates the the Earth Defense Club's faces and distorts their voices, making them unrecognizable to any onlookers. This is how no one can figure out who they really are even though their outfits don't do anything to hide their identities. Episode 6 reveals that the Conquest Club has the same kind of identity-hiding technology.
** Though, since the "highly advanced technology" is about as effective as ''no'' technology (it doesn't even hide all of Akoya's hair), it ends up as the same trope.
* PowerGivesYouWings: [[spoiler:In the last episode, the "More Better Love Making" EleventhHourSuperpower gives the Battle Lovers and the Caerula Adamas wings.]]
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Io does this to the MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 6. They're technically outside, but the effect is the same.
* PunyEarthlings: Episode 12 suggests that [[spoiler: for most of the universe, Earth is the equivalent of a wild nature preserve.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The HatePlague from episode 8 tints its victims' eyes slightly red when it's affecting them.
** The MonsterOfTheWeek from Episode 11, [[spoiler:Kinshiro]], has those after it transforms.
* SeinfeldianConversation: The episodes usually start with one of these, which eventually turns out to have something to do with the MonsterOfTheWeek.
* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: When they get [[FountainOfYouth shrunk]] in episode 4, the Battle Lovers quickly discover that this applies to their love making gear. Oddly enough, its averted for their actual school uniforms, which shrink with them.
--> '''Io''': "This setup is lacking consistency!"
* SharpDressedMan: All of the guys are this in school uniform (except Yumoto and En, who don't wear ties as part of their uniform), but especially the Conquest Club.
** [[http://magicalgirlsandcerulean.tumblr.com/post/112204773708/elucida-kidokon-kontsu-eeeehhhhhh-source-1 The Sendai P'PARCO collaboration]] makes for even more eye candy, with En wearing a WaistcoatOfStyle.
* ShipTease: Ryuu and Io in episode 7, to an almost ridiculous extent. Even Atsushi [[ShipperOnDeck gets on it]].
** En and Atsushi in episode 8, even more so.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Battle Lover/Battlelover/Batolover? Zundar/Thunder? Orite/Aurite?
* TheStinger: The credits for the final episode say to wait for a news report "after the break". [[spoiler: Turns out Tawarayama was brought back to life.]]
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Pretty Boy Guardian Gakuran Akoya says, "Beauty is a sin", with correct English spelling and a Japanese translation on top.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: {{Lampshaded}} in episode 12. The BigBad calls it a "{{Kabuki}} rule", and at one point berates himself for following it.
* ThemeNaming: They mostly use ColorfulThemeNaming - Scarlet and [[MakingASplash Cerulean]] are straight up examples, while [[WindIsGreen Epinard]] and Sulfur at least have a connection to their colors. [[PlayingWithFire Vesta]], named after the Roman goddess of the hearth, is the OddNameOut. The Conquest Club are a bit more connected with their metallic color scheme.
** [[http://lolyeahshinichi.tumblr.com/post/105301335017/12-days-of-humour-day-3 Their surnames]] are all connected via famous hot spring locations in Japan.
* ThePowerOfLove: It's Wombat's character motivation and it's the ultimate weapon of the Battle Lovers.
* TickleTorture: The MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 6 inflicts this on Vesta after immobilising him with its CombatTentacles.
* TransformationTrinket: Bracelets for the Defense Club. They each have to kiss the bracelet to initiate the TransformationSequence. The Conquest Club use rings.
* TransformationNameAnnouncement: Each of the magical boys have one, and Akoya plays it for comedy by imagining himself as "Pretty Boy Guardian Gakuran Akoya" (a blatant parody of "Pretty Girl Guardian SailorMoon"), complete with this trope.
* TheUnreveal: We never do find out the winner of episode three's Pretty Boy Contest.
** Or what Kinshirou's [[spoiler:"longstanding desire" is, as referred to by Zundar, though the chances that it has to do with vengeance on Atsushi are around 99.999%]].
* VerbalTic: The title has one that occasionally makes an appearance on the official Japanese Twitter LOVE!
* VillainsOutShopping: The Conquest Club in episode 7, where they decide to splurge on a relaxing vacation.
* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler:Episode 11]]. Sorry if you thought Boueibu was essentially plotless.
** The episode after that is even more shocking. Even the characters get shocked, multiple times!
--> '''En:''' Wha-what did you say?!
** The end of [[spoiler:Episode 10]]. And that's ''before'' the next episode teaser...

* ModestyTowel: Common due to the abundance of hot spring scenes. The Press Society even get in on the act in episode 5.
** So does [[spoiler: the Conquest Club]] in the final episode. Special mention goes to [[spoiler: Akoya]] who even covers his chest.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: In the tradition of MagicalGirl shows, most episodes have a villain that represents a source of teenage trouble.
* MrFanservice: Each one of the boys play a different kind of this trope to their intended demographic. Even some of the side characters are this, which is saying something.
* NoHeterosexualSexAllowed: Zundar's [[InsaneTrollLogic amazing]] plan in episode 3 - use the powers of the MonsterOfTheWeek to turn all the men in the world gay, destroying the human race's ability to reproduce. The irony lies in the show's homoeroticism and single-sex cast.
* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: In episode 2, Yumoto completely fails to recognize that ''he's'' the 'extremely belligerent individual' in Wombat's tale.
** Episode 9's victim fails to realize that the "guy who can't read the mood" a group of students are talking about is him. Well, he does eventually realize it but only after a big InternalMonologue.
* OddCouple: The two pairs from the Battle Lovers that's in the same grade, namely En/Atsushi and Io/Ryuu. They are really close despite of the polar characteristics of each pairs. [[HoYay And fans likes to think it's in romantic meaning too.]]
* OneGenderSchool: The main characters go to an all-boys school.
* PaperThinDisguise: A rare justified example. When they're transformed, the technology in the Lovracelets both pixelates the the Earth Defense Club's faces and distorts their voices, making them unrecognizable to any onlookers. This is how no one can figure out who they really are even though their outfits don't do anything to hide their identities. Episode 6 reveals that the Conquest Club has the same kind of identity-hiding technology.
** Though, since the "highly advanced technology" is about as effective as ''no'' technology (it doesn't even hide all of Akoya's hair), it ends up as the same trope.
* PowerGivesYouWings: [[spoiler:In the last episode, the "More Better Love Making" EleventhHourSuperpower gives the Battle Lovers and the Caerula Adamas wings.]]
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Io does this to the MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 6. They're technically outside, but the effect is the same.
* PunyEarthlings: Episode 12 suggests that [[spoiler: for most of the universe, Earth is the equivalent of a wild nature preserve.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The HatePlague from episode 8 tints its victims' eyes slightly red when it's affecting them.
** The MonsterOfTheWeek from Episode 11, [[spoiler:Kinshiro]], has those after it transforms.
* SeinfeldianConversation: The episodes usually start with one of these, which eventually turns out to have something to do with the MonsterOfTheWeek.
* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: When they get [[FountainOfYouth shrunk]] in episode 4, the Battle Lovers quickly discover that this applies to their love making gear. Oddly enough, its averted for their actual school uniforms, which shrink with them.
--> '''Io''': "This setup is lacking consistency!"
* SharpDressedMan: All of the guys are this in school uniform (except Yumoto and En, who don't wear ties as part of their uniform), but especially the Conquest Club.
** [[http://magicalgirlsandcerulean.tumblr.com/post/112204773708/elucida-kidokon-kontsu-eeeehhhhhh-source-1 The Sendai P'PARCO collaboration]] makes for even more eye candy, with En wearing a WaistcoatOfStyle.
* ShipTease: Ryuu and Io in episode 7, to an almost ridiculous extent. Even Atsushi [[ShipperOnDeck gets on it]].
** En and Atsushi in episode 8, even more so.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Battle Lover/Battlelover/Batolover? Zundar/Thunder? Orite/Aurite?
* TheStinger: The credits for the final episode say to wait for a news report "after the break". [[spoiler: Turns out Tawarayama was brought back to life.]]
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Pretty Boy Guardian Gakuran Akoya says, "Beauty is a sin", with correct English spelling and a Japanese translation on top.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: {{Lampshaded}} in episode 12. The BigBad calls it a "{{Kabuki}} rule", and at one point berates himself for following it.
* ThemeNaming: They mostly use ColorfulThemeNaming - Scarlet and [[MakingASplash Cerulean]] are straight up examples, while [[WindIsGreen Epinard]] and Sulfur at least have a connection to their colors. [[PlayingWithFire Vesta]], named after the Roman goddess of the hearth, is the OddNameOut. The Conquest Club are a bit more connected with their metallic color scheme.
** [[http://lolyeahshinichi.tumblr.com/post/105301335017/12-days-of-humour-day-3 Their surnames]] are all connected via famous hot spring locations in Japan.
* ThePowerOfLove: It's Wombat's character motivation and it's the ultimate weapon of the Battle Lovers.
* TickleTorture: The MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 6 inflicts this on Vesta after immobilising him with its CombatTentacles.
* TransformationTrinket: Bracelets for the Defense Club. They each have to kiss the bracelet to initiate the TransformationSequence. The Conquest Club use rings.
* TransformationNameAnnouncement: Each of the magical boys have one, and Akoya plays it for comedy by imagining himself as "Pretty Boy Guardian Gakuran Akoya" (a blatant parody of "Pretty Girl Guardian SailorMoon"), complete with this trope.
* TheUnreveal: We never do find out the winner of episode three's Pretty Boy Contest.
** Or what Kinshirou's [[spoiler:"longstanding desire" is, as referred to by Zundar, though the chances that it has to do with vengeance on Atsushi are around 99.999%]].
* VerbalTic: The title has one that occasionally makes an appearance on the official Japanese Twitter LOVE!
* VillainsOutShopping: The Conquest Club in episode 7, where they decide to splurge on a relaxing vacation.
* WhamEpisode: [[spoiler:Episode 11]]. Sorry if you thought Boueibu was essentially plotless.
** The episode after that is even more shocking. Even the characters get shocked, multiple times!
--> '''En:''' Wha-what did you say?!
** The end of [[spoiler:Episode 10]]. And that's ''before'' the next episode teaser...

[[caption-width-right:350:From top to bottom: the {{Sloth}}, TheSmartGuy, the {{Casanova}} (or possibly the CasanovaWannabe), the [[OnlyInItForTheMoney Scrooge]], the {{Keet}} and the [[MentorMascot pink wombat]].]]
''Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE!'' or ''Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!'' ([[LongTitle to save time, call it]] Boueibu) is a Winter2015Anime which is a parody of MagicalGirl series, specifically of the MagicalGirlWarrior type. It's produced by {{Creator/Diomedea}} under the eye of Shinji Takamatsu (of ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys'' and ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'' fame) although the original concept is credited to Kurari Umatani. Its main English page is [[http://boueibu.com/us/index.html here]] and [[http://www.ponimaga.jp/comic/293 an online manga about the Conquest Club is here]] (but it's in Japanese). A light novel is also out there...although the only thing to distinguish its name from the anime is the word ''NOVEL!''. An OtomeGame for smartphones has also been released.
En Yufuin, Atsushi Kinugawa, Io Naruko and Ryuu Zaou make up the Earth Defense Club, a club at their all-boys school [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything which doesn't do]] [[NonIndicativeName any defending of Earth]] (or anything really). One day, En and Atsushi are hanging out at the local hot spring, run by the family of their [[SempaiKouhai kouhai]] Yumoto Hakone, when a pink wombat claiming to be an alien falls out of a portal and tasks them with saving the Earth. Of course, like most sane people when faced with a talking marsupial, En and Atsushi [[RefusalOfTheCall run away]], but the wombat - itself pursued by [[{{Keet}} Yumoto]] - follows the boys back to their clubroom. There he grants the five teenagers [[TransformationTrinket “lovracelets”]], and forces the Earth Defense Club to start doing what their name says, much to their chagrin. Meanwhile, [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil the student council]] - Kinshiro Kusatsu, Ibushi Arima and Akoya Gero - meet Zundar, a green hedgehog from the planet Evil who wants to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the world]].
It's licensed in the US and Canada by Creator/PonycanUSA. Creator/{{Funimation}} [[http://www.funimation.com/blog/2014/12/30/funimation-acquires-rights-for-cute-high-earth-defense-club-love?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=Simulcast_Winter&utm_source=Google&utm_content=Winter_Simulcast_Cute_High_Earth_Defense_Club_Love&utm_nooverride=1 now has the rights]] to air Boueibu as part of their [[http://www.funimation.com/p/winter Winter 2015 lineup.]] For Australia, Creator/MadmanEntertainment [[https://www.animelab.com/shows/cute-high-earth-defense-club has snagged it]] for Anime Lab. Everyone [[note]] aside from those in Asia, that is [[/note]] [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/cute-high-earth-defense-club-love can see it using Crunchyroll]].
Now there's a [[Characters/BinanKoukouChikyuuBoueibuLove characters page]]. Appropriate tropes go there.
----
!! Boueibu contains examples of these tropes [[VerbalTic LOVE!]]:
* AffectionateParody: Of MagicalGirlWarrior series and their associated tropes.
* AlienAnimals: Wombat and Zundar. [[spoiler: Apparently all aliens are this. Wombat is ironically something of an animal rights activist, as he is trying to prevent an unscrupulous reality show producer from destroying the animals of Earth...which includes the humans..]]
* ArtShift: Occasionally. The most notable example is Wombat's {{Flashback}} in episode 2.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: A notable subversion during the TransformationSequence. In contrast to every magical girl ever sporting a distinct lack of nipples despite total nudity while transforming, it seems that these guys are actually just self-conscious and try very hard to hide their bits. If you watch the transformation sequences carefully, they're never properly uncovered. Never is this so obvious as when Sulfur [[HandOrObjectUnderwear covers his crotch]].
* BetweenMyLegs: Happens in episode 7 with Io.
* BigWhat: A variation. The [[WhamEpisode first revelation]] in Episode 12 has the Battle Lovers all exclaim "What did you say?!" En then says that [[ICantBelieveImSayingThis he'd never thought he'd ever say those words in his life.]] This happens two more times in episode 12, and En {{lampshades}} it each time.
* BitingTheHandHumor: Episode 5's MonsterOfTheWeek, during his rant on bad things that could happen without remote controls, says "televisions forever locked on TV Tokyo". Three guesses as to what channel airs the show.
* BishieSparkle: Akoya is prone to this. Arima has an ImagineSpot with Akoya in a {{Gonk}} style but still sparkling!
** The show is a {{Bishonen}} overload so every character's going to get it at one stage or another. Within two chapters of the online manga, everyone in the Conquest Club has gotten this trope - even Thunder.
* {{Bishonen}}: Comes with the CastFullOfPrettyBoys.
* BookEnds: [[spoiler: The series begins in a public bath with a SeinfeldianConversation about food, and ends in a public bath with a SeinfeldianConversation about food.]]
* BottomlessMagazines: Averted in episode 12 [[spoiler: when Zundar sheepishly tells his boss that their HumongousMecha has run out of ammo.]]
* ButtMonkey: Tawarayama's accidentally killed by Wombat, who decides to use his corpse as a host body of sorts. Needless to say, his dead body gets a ''lot'' of abuse, [[spoiler:even when he (briefly) comes BackFromTheDead in episode 7.]] Some of the Battle Lovers [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] this by noting that they've stopped caring whether Tawarayama gets hurt, since he's already dead.
* CallingYourAttacks: The first episode gives us gems like Something-or-other STOOORMMM and Random SPLAAAAAAASH!
** It gets ''worse'' when they start personalizing their attacks. Added Margin Bomber?
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Not a girl in sight, [[DudeLookslikeALady although you might mistake Akoya, Ryuu or Yumoto for one]].
* CatchPhrase: "What is love making?" for the [=PVs=]. [[FreudWasRight Cue the sniggers.]]
* ChromosomeCasting: While girls have been mentioned, not a single one appeared on-screen through the series' 12 episodes. You may mistake Zaou, Hakone or Gero for one, though.
* ClingyMacguffin: The [[TransformationTrinket lovracelets]] can't be taken off.
* ClubStub: The Defense Club itself, which hovers on the life-or-death boundary between four and five members.
* ColorCodedCharacters:
** Yumoto: Red
** En: Blue
** Atsushi: Green
** Io: Yellow
** Ryuu: Pink
* ColorCodedElements: The Defense Club mostly follows this trope as [[MakingASplash Cerulean has blue]], [[WindIsGreen Epinard has green]] (despite being named after spinach) and [[DishingOutDirt Sulfur has yellow]]. Exceptions are [[PlayingWithFire Vesta with flame]] and [[LightEmUp Scarlet with light]].
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: The opening, ''Zettai Muteki Fallin' Love'', is sung by the Battle Lovers, while the ending ''I miss you no 3 meters'' is sung by the Chevaliers.
* DragQueen: One appears in episode 7 and flirts with Yumoto.
* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler: The "More Better Love Making". First Yumoto gets it, and then the others - including the Conquest Club - gets it, too.]]
* EvilFormerFriend: Kinshiro to Atsushi.
* EvilLaugh: Kinshiro indulges in this a bit in episode 8.
* ExcitedShowTitle: As per MagicalGirl standards. It could be part of the VerbalTic though.
* {{Fanservice}} : For girls (and guys who like guys), though. Let's see, the show starts with two bishonen taking a bath, their alternate base (after the school club) is the bath house, and they are magical boys...
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In episode 10, Gora apparently recognizes his brother in Battle Lovers form. [[spoiler: In episode 12, Gora is revealed to have been a Battle Lover in the past.]]
* FountainOfYouth: The MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 4 has this effect on the Battle Lovers, as well as the rest of the school.
* FullFrontalAssault: The Battle Lovers are forced to do this when taking on the MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 4, after [[ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing they shrink but their clothes do not.]]
* GenderFlip: This anime basically takes every MagicalGirl trope and applies the said tropes to bishonens.
* GenreSavvy: "If we're in a farce, we might as well get it over with quickly"
* GratuitousEnglish: The VerbalTic mentioned below.
** The Battle Lovers live and breathe this trope, in direct contrast to the [[GratuitousFrench Chevaliers.]]
* GratuitousFrench: "Epinard" and the basis of the three Chevalier names.
* HatePlague: The MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 8 causes a non-murderous kind, with En as one of the victims.
* HowDoIShotWeb: When the guys are getting to grips with their love sticks in episode one.
--> '''Yumoto''': "[[GenreSavvy Can I shoot a beam with this?]] Can I? Can I? *Shoots beam* [[OverlyLongGag I can!]]"
* HotSpringsEpisode: Since Yumoto's family runs a hot spring place and the Defense Club goes there often, nearly ''every episode'' is this.
* IHaveTheHighGround: The Conquest Club are the undisputed champions of this. The number of times which they ''don't'' indulge in it can be counted on one hand.
* [[HumongousMecha Humongous]] TransformingMecha: [[spoiler: In the final episode, Hireashi and Zundar pilot a porcupine-fish ship that turns into a giant robot (cause Hireashi is a fish and Zundar is a porcupine). RealityEnsues when they run out of ammo...]]
* ImagineSpot: Akoya is prone to this in the online manga, a notable one (read "notable" as "hilarious") being a [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]] to [[SailorMoon Usagi meeting Luna]]. (Thunder gets Luna's part.)
* ImmoralRealityShow: [[spoiler: The Conquest Club turns out to be part of an alien reality show called "Can I Destroy the Earth?". Wombat turns out to be the equivalent of an animal rights activist.]]
* ImportedAlienPhlebotinum: The [[TransformationTrinket loveraclets and the conquest rings]], which are alien technologies that puts the 'magic' into magical boys.
* InadvertentEntranceCue: Done in episode one, when Yumoto and Wombat!Tawarayama enter the Earth Defense Club's club room moments after the boys had just finished discussing their need for a fifth member and a club advisor.
* InASingleBound: Apparently a [[RequiredSecondaryPowers built in function]] of the Loveraclets.
* JapaneseSchoolClub: The Defense Club is one, as are the Student Council (albeit the one in charge of the rest) and the Press Society.
* LampshadeHanging: Considering how this is an AffectionateParody of MagicalGirl series and all their cliches, there's plenty of this.
** In episode seven, Atsushi points out that even though Ryu calls himself a {{Casanova}}, [[UrbanLegendLoveLife no one has ever seen him with a woman before]].
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In episode 12 [[spoiler: the characters turn out to be in an ImmoralRealityShow. Clips of previous episode play on the television screens of alien viewers, which carries the implication that ''you'' were watching the reality show this whole time.]]
* LongTitle: Just look at that title!
* MachoCamp: Episode 7 has an entire ''beach'' full of these.
* MagicWand: Each of the Defense Club have one as part of their Battle Lover getup.
* MagicalGirlWarrior: Magical ''Boys'', actually. The Battle Lovers (Defense Club) and Chevaliers (Conquest Club) are two separate teams of magical boys. The anime as a whole is an AffectionateParody of the concept.
* MakeAWish: Atsushi and Kinshiro do this on shooting stars as children, [[spoiler:with dire results. But all ends well]].
* MakeUpIsEvil: Kinshiro in episode 11 after he [[spoiler: transforms into Dark Aurite]].
* MegatonPunch: How Yumoto finally takes down episode one's MonsterOfTheWeek [[EpicFail after the super flashy finishing move fails to do any actual finishing.]]
--> '''Atsushi''': "Physical force?"
--> '''En''': "What was the point of that finishing move earlier?"
** Io delivers a good one to the screw-monster in episode 6, [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom punching it across the school yard]].
* MenAreTough: This show's going out of its way to [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide prove this trope can be averted]].
** Played straight with Yumoto's older brother and some of the minor characters.
* MiniDressOfPower: Averted, unlike ''LightNovel/KoreWaZombieDesuKa''.
* ModestyTowel: Common due to the abundance of hot spring scenes. The Press Society even get in on the act in episode 5.
** So does [[spoiler: the Conquest Club]] in the final episode. Special mention goes to [[spoiler: Akoya]] who even covers his chest.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: In the tradition of MagicalGirl shows, most episodes have a villain that represents a source of teenage trouble.
* MrFanservice: Each one of the boys play a different kind of this trope to their intended demographic. Even some of the side characters are this, which is saying something.
* NoHeterosexualSexAllowed: Zundar's [[InsaneTrollLogic amazing]] plan in episode 3 - use the powers of the MonsterOfTheWeek to turn all the men in the world gay, destroying the human race's ability to reproduce. The irony lies in the show's homoeroticism and single-sex cast.
* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: In episode 2, Yumoto completely fails to recognize that ''he's'' the 'extremely belligerent individual' in Wombat's tale.
** Episode 9's victim fails to realize that the "guy who can't read the mood" a group of students are talking about is him. Well, he does eventually realize it but only after a big InternalMonologue.
* OddCouple: The two pairs from the Battle Lovers that's in the same grade, namely En/Atsushi and Io/Ryuu. They are really close despite of the polar characteristics of each pairs. [[HoYay And fans likes to think it's in romantic meaning too.]]
* OneGenderSchool: The main characters go to an all-boys school.
* PaperThinDisguise: A rare justified example. When they're transformed, the technology in the Lovracelets both pixelates the the Earth Defense Club's faces and distorts their voices, making them unrecognizable to any onlookers. This is how no one can figure out who they really are even though their outfits don't do anything to hide their identities. Episode 6 reveals that the Conquest Club has the same kind of identity-hiding technology.
** Though, since the "highly advanced technology" is about as effective as ''no'' technology (it doesn't even hide all of Akoya's hair), it ends up as the same trope.
* PowerGivesYouWings: [[spoiler:In the last episode, the "More Better Love Making" EleventhHourSuperpower gives the Battle Lovers and the Caerula Adamas wings.]]
* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Io does this to the MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 6. They're technically outside, but the effect is the same.
* PunyEarthlings: Episode 12 suggests that [[spoiler: for most of the universe, Earth is the equivalent of a wild nature preserve.]]
* RedEyesTakeWarning: The HatePlague from episode 8 tints its victims' eyes slightly red when it's affecting them.
** The MonsterOfTheWeek from Episode 11, [[spoiler:Kinshiro]], has those after it transforms.
* SeinfeldianConversation: The episodes usually start with one of these, which eventually turns out to have something to do with the MonsterOfTheWeek.
* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: When they get [[FountainOfYouth shrunk]] in episode 4, the Battle Lovers quickly discover that this applies to their love making gear. Oddly enough, its averted for their actual school uniforms, which shrink with them.
--> '''Io''': "This setup is lacking consistency!"
* SharpDressedMan: All of the guys are this in school uniform (except Yumoto and En, who don't wear ties as part of their uniform), but especially the Conquest Club.
** [[http://magicalgirlsandcerulean.tumblr.com/post/112204773708/elucida-kidokon-kontsu-eeeehhhhhh-source-1 The Sendai P'PARCO collaboration]] makes for even more eye candy, with En wearing a WaistcoatOfStyle.
* ShipTease: Ryuu and Io in episode 7, to an almost ridiculous extent. Even Atsushi [[ShipperOnDeck gets on it]].
** En and Atsushi in episode 8, even more so.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Battle Lover/Battlelover/Batolover? Zundar/Thunder? Orite/Aurite?
* TheStinger: The credits for the final episode say to wait for a news report "after the break". [[spoiler: Turns out Tawarayama was brought back to life.]]
* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Pretty Boy Guardian Gakuran Akoya says, "Beauty is a sin", with correct English spelling and a Japanese translation on top.
* TalkingIsAFreeAction: {{Lampshaded}} in episode 12. The BigBad calls it a "{{Kabuki}} rule", and at one point berates himself for following it.

* TickleTorture: The MonsterOfTheWeek of episode 6 inflicts this on Vesta after immobilising him with its CombatTentacles.
* TransformationTrinket: Bracelets for the Defense Club. They each have to kiss the bracelet to initiate the TransformationSequence. The Conquest Club use rings.
