Added DiffLines:

* AntiClimax: [[spoiler: This applies to the entire arc with the Anati Peace Movement. They're intercepted by the andalite fleet going to Earth on their way to assassinate the Council of Thirteen, and there were no survivors.]]


Added DiffLines:

* CharacterDevelopment: All of the original six Animorphs act exactly like their book counterparts, until the [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation Alternate Character Interpretations]] kick in.
* CrapsackWorld: And the especially sad thing is that we get almost everyone's POV, meaning the audience is asked to sympathize with the people making the world a more miserable place for the genuinely good characters. Not that there are many of those. So it sort of balances out.


Added DiffLines:

* [[spoiler: DownerEnding]]


Added DiffLines:

* GreyAndGrayMorality: For the most part, although it occasionally leans towards [[BlackAndGrayMorality Black and Gray]].


Added DiffLines:

* HeroWithBadPublicity: The Movement on the Anati homeworld actually becomes larger than the yeerks fighting to enslave the Anati. In the end, it gets so big that remaining members of the 'resistance' are captured and [[DoubleStandard often tortured]]. [[spoiler: But this doesn't stop the andalite fleet from destroying the entire movement when they intercept in space.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ShootTheShaggyDog: [[spoiler: The Anati Peace Movement amounts to nothing except a bunch of dead people.]]


Added DiffLines:

!!!Rachel:
* BitchInSheepsClothing: This is the author's AlternateCharacterInterpretation of her. [[spoiler: As she slowly loses her sanity, the sheep's clothing gradually comes off.]]
* DumbBlonde: Rachel puts on an act of this in order to hide the fact that she's scared that she's going insane.
