History Anime / KadoTheRightAnswer

* AlienGeometries: KADO, both on the outside and inside.

* AnimalMotifs: Turtles. Shindo has a few origami turtles in his household, [=zaShunina=] catches a turtle at the local festival, and Tsukai is shown with a turtle in her childhood. The significance of such is still a mystery.

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: zaShunina operates on a bizarre moral level that confounds many. In order to solve humanity's problems, he is ultimately willing to introduce an amount of change that many might perceive uncomfortable.
** [[spoiler:Then there's also the fact that he wants to bring the whole mankind to the anisotropic with him, even if that means that most of people on Earth will perish in the process. In his mind, he is doing a good thing.]]

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Shindou, in spite of his otherwise eccentric personality off-duty, is still considered one of, if not ''the'' best negotiator in all of Japan.

*** [[spoiler: This is exactly why she is one of the very few people in the whole world who can actually make Wam.]]

* CosmicHorrorStory: {{Subverted}}. [[spoiler: Humans aren't considered insignificant by the far more powerful anisotropic beings at all. As such, the show cannot be properly categorized as such given that the most important aspect of a CHS is humans being seen as hopelessly inferior and/or flat out ignored most of the time because of such difference in terms of power. This is not really the case in this series, [[ZigZaggedTrope even though every other element of this trope is present.]]]]

** Ironically, the media succeeds in making solid contact with zaShunina on a semi-regular basis and even interview him.

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Hanamori and zaShunina are among Shindo's many admirers.
* ExtraDimensionalShortcut: zaShunina exploits them quite commonly.
* FestivalEpisode: Episode 7 has the group attend one.

* HumansAreSpecial: {{Deconstructed}}. It is more like [[spoiler: humans ''exist solely'' to be special]].
* {{Hunk}}: Sergeant Atsuhiko Agata.

* LovecraftLite: Thankfully, instead of the massive CosmicHorrorStory potential he is implied to have, zaShunina only seems to be interested in advancing humanity. [[TemptingFate So far.]]

* {{Realpolitik}}: Inevitably.

* SelfDeprecation: In the novel, Yaha-kui thinks somewhat lowly on authors:
--> The living beings known as fiction writers are all mentally ill, to some degree.

* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: Saraka.]]

* TheWorldIsNotReady: When asked what she thinks of the Wam, Tsukai answers with this, believing humans have just been given a power they are in no way ready for.
** It's not just that-- her viewpoint reaches toward a conservative view, saying that the gifts [=zaShunina=] is giving us are a huge, all too suspiciously quick step for the world after billions of years of natural evolution.
* WorkoutFanservice: Sergeant Agata is a post-workout version of this in episode 5.
* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler: zaShunina slowly becomes this toward Shindou.]]

* ElephantInTheLivingRoom / UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Even by episode ''8'', [[BlueAndOrangeMorality zaShunina]] is largely ignored by the international community. Or rather, zaShunina is pretty much ignored by any and every government, other than Japan's. That being said, what can be described as a low key ResourceWar over the Wam that zaShunina bestowed and was intended to be distributed among all of humanity almost occurs when the UN (read: the [[AcceptablePoliticalTargets Security]] [[DoubleStandard Council]]) demands all of the Wam to be handed over to them.

* InstantExpert: It takes zaShunina roughly a minute to become fully fluent in verbal Japanese, having taken the language from Shindo's cell phone.
** It's takes scientist Kanata Shinawa a few hours at most to [[spoiler:crack how the Wam works, giving her the ability to ''make them''.]]

* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Or rather, has many attractive young adult men, such as Shindou, Agata, Hanamori and Asano. Rather than the standard {{Bishounen}} variant of this trope, they are more {{Biseinen}}. The closest the series could get to a traditional {{Bishounen}} might be [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith zaShunina]].

* NotSoDifferent: According to [[AllThereInTheManual bonus materials]], [=zaShunina=] is highly unusual among his kind for taking a proactive approach, much like how Shindo is not an ordinary human.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: The main plot is a surprisingly mature and realistic presentation of the FirstContact.

* RealityEnsues: The main plot is a surprisingly mature and realistic presentation of the FirstContact.

* NonAnswer: Whenever anyone directly asks [=zaShunina=] exactly what his motives are, he either dodges the question or talks about his plans as they are now. Episode 8 makes this unsettling, since the pauses in thought before giving any answer was unusually human of him.

* TheMultiverse: The Sansa exploits a version of this. [[spoiler:Essentially making an alternate reality version of a person sleep, and giving the other all the benefits of a full nights rest.]]
