History Anime / DiGiCharat

* There is also a {{Dating Sim}}-like game (non-H).

* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Piyoko is three in the Panyo Panyo series, but she can walk and talk and easily keep up with a trio of girls that are five years older than her.

* Expy: Puchiko appears as a downloadable character in Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, under the name 'Broccoli'. The protagonst even refers to her as Puchiko a couple of times.

* NoExportForYou: Volumes 2 and 3 of the ''Dejiko's Adventure'' manga as well as volume 2 of the ''Leave it to Piyoko'' manga were announced in 2005...and then Broccoli USA closed in 2008, leaving the series unfinished in the US.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Except for Panyo Panyo, which was licensed and dubbed by Creator/ADVFilms, finding the original series, or any other on DVD is nigh impossible.
** Now averted for the original series, which was released on DVD by SentaiFilmworks, as well as the OVA specials and ''Winter Garden'', which are also pending releases by Sentai Filmworks.

* Expy: Puchiko appears as a downloadable character in Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, under the name 'Broccoli'. Neptune even refers to her as Puchiko a couple of times.

* There is also a {{Dating Sim}}-like game, which, while totally devoid of adult content, is creepy for its premise, since Dejiko is just really underage.

In a huge subversion, however, Dejiko's personality turned out to be the complete opposite of the cutesy-innocent moe girl she appears to be. She does her best to appear sweet, but when provoked (and it doesn't take much) she can be vain, petty, argumentative, selfish, and downright violent. She often takes out her frustrations by physically abusing her guardian, a floating sphere named Gema, or firing eyebeams at those who annoy her. She does have a good heart deep down, though, and the show's borderline-surreal sense of humor [[{{rule of funny}} plays her anti-social tendencies for laughs]] ,so somehow Dejiko manages to be endearing despite it all.

* {{Bishounen}}: Ky, Rik and Murataku

* ImageSong (Lots and lots of them. This series is the poster child for this trope.)

* LawyerFriendlyCameo (and worked in both ways)

* OccidentalOtaku (Rodoyan, a WholesomeCrossdresser who claims to be Dejiko's biggest fan)
* {{Otaku}} (Several, including Bukimi, and Rodoyan, the Japanese perception of an American anime otaku noted above.)

* TakeThat: a Summer Special [=OVA=] had an extended take that at American Otaku.
* TerribleTrio (The Black Gema Gang)
* ThemeNaming (Almost all the inhabitants of the planet Di Gi Charat)

* {{Tsundere}} (Dejiko, to an extent)

* ''Dejiko'', aka DiGiCharat, aka Chocola: The titular protagonist, princess of planet DiGiCharat and aspiring idol. However, she is less than princess-like. Can shoot EyeBeams. She will use them any time, on ''any'' being who annoys her. She has a VerbalTic and ends everything she says with "-nyo".

!!!The universe of ''DiGiCharat'' has been presented in the following incarnations:

* ThemeNaming (Almost all the inhabitants of the planet DiGiCharat)

* XMeetsY: ''Anime/LuckyStar'' meets ''KaBlam!''

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Except for Panyo Panyo, which was licensed and dubbed by ADVFilms, finding the original series, or any other on DVD is nigh impossible.

* ''Leave it to Piyoko'' an OVA series which was released on Nico Nico Douga with Piyoko as the protagonist and Digiko as TheRival.

* ''Gema'': A big floating yellow ball with a simple, tiny, upside-down face. Long-suffering NonHumanSidekick and failed [[{{Mentors}} mentor]], usually the victim of Dejiko's eye beam. Ends all its sentences with "-gema".

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat

* {{Moe}}
* MoralEventHorizon (If it were possible in such a completely zany series. In the Christmas episode, Dejiko makes an explosive cake for Rabi~en~Rose, initially seeming as a prank on her rival. She later reveals she made it with the intent to ''kill'' Rabi~en~Rose (Her exact words were "[[NeverSayDie Eliminate]]"), and only felt bad about it because Rabi~en~Rose accepted it gratefully. The bomb later [[spoiler: doesn't kill anyone, but wipes out the Gamers shop.]] It's played for laughs, but can be pretty disturbing.)

* JumpedTheShark (Later episodes use both [[RefugeInVulgarity refu]][[RefugeInAudacity ges]] more often than early ones to convey humor.)

* CuteShotaroBoy: Coo of the Black Gema Gang,and to a lesser extent, Minataku.

* ''Gema'': A big floating yellow ball. Long-suffering NonHumanSidekick and failed [[{{Mentors}} mentor]], usually the victim of Dejiko's eye beam. Ends all its sentences with "-gema".

* ''"Rabi~en~Rose"'': Real name, Hikaru Usada. Sometimes TheRival to Dejiko, sometimes a WorthyOpponent. A [[{{Muggles}} young human]] teenager, also an aspiring idol, with a bunny-like [[CosplayOtakuGirl cosplay]] and a sob-story history that changes depending on the franchise's incarnation. One of the few characters who ''doesn't'' have a VerbalTic. She is a parody of the typical "rival" character in anime, in that she's more sympathetic than Dejiko and often shows superior skill, yet she still loses most of the time because she's not the main character.
