History Anime / UnderTheDog

* CoolGuns: Anthea's gun is normally an assault rifle but [[IKEAWeaponry its barrel can expand]] to [[SwissArmyWeapon become a sniper rifle.]] It may sound like an energy weapon in the trailer, but [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1300298569/under-the-dog/posts/959094 the design notes tell us]] that the rifle uses plasma gas and [[MagneticWeapons rail magnets]] to propel .50 caliber anti-armor tungsten rounds at [[KineticWeaponsAreJustBetter 3,000 meters per second.]]

* TykeBomb: The Flowers, naturally.

* TimeBomb: [[spoiler: In the same vein as ''LightNovel/BlackBullet'', the Flowers are basically biological time bombs to become the Pandora once the Pandoraization rate becomes too high.]]

The funding model is stated to be the first of its kind: while other titles such as ''Anime/LittleWitchAcademia'' used Kickstarter to supplement their budget, ''Under the Dog'' was an anime fully funded by crowdsourcing. The production team specifically stated that they chose the Kickstarter route instead of more traditional funding methods to ensure that they retain full creative freedom of the project.

* KnifeNut: When Anthea's not shooting people down, she's carving them up.

On September 2, 2014, Creator/HideoKojima made an endorsement of the project. [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1300298569/under-the-dog/posts/975847 A few days later]], Creator/KeijiInafune and Creator/TaroYoko expressed similar sentiments.

* {{Retraux}}: It emulates the visual style of 90s cyberpunk anime such as ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'' and ''Anime/BubblegumCrisis''.

* ShaggyDogStory: The OVA is ultimately this. Hana is killed by Anthea for being too weak to continue protecting Nanase, resulting in Hana's family being killed. Her last words to Anthea are to continue protecting Nanase. However, when Anthea catches up with him it turns out he's not the kind of candidate they are looking for, so Anthea kills him as well, [[ShootTheShaggyDog making all of the tragic events of the OVA completely and utterly pointless]].

* XMeetsY: It can probably be best described as ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'' meets ''Film/{{Munich}}'' meets ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell''. Now that the OVA is out, others have compared to ''Manga/GunslingerGirl'' meets ''LightNovel/BlackBullet'', as the Olympic attack backstory wasn't mentioned at all in it.
