History Trivia / LandOfTheLustrous

* IKnewIt:
** [[spoiler:Prayer involving not just Lunarian destruction, but also involving the Lustrous was a commonly held theory before its reveal in Chapter 80. There was also a lot of speculation over Sensei holding off on it not out of duty, but of love for the Gems he raised.]]
** [[spoiler:Right from the moment Aechmea introduces himself by destroying a fake piece of Antarcticite where Phos could see, fans had been predicting that he'd been manipulating Phos for years prior to their encounter on the Moon. Nobody was able to predict the scale of his plans though.]]

** [[spoiler:Cue a lot of fans saying they called it when Chapters 79 and 80 revealed that the Lunarians would never hold up their end of the deal with Phos. The Lustrous revival project stopped immediately after Phos gets shelved, and once the Gem is able to make Sensei pray Aechmea revealed that the action would wipe out ''all'' of the humanity subspecies.]]

* InternationalCoproduction: Not the series, but the Latin American Spanish dub, as it was done with voice actors from both Argentina and Chile, both neighboring countries, and just like with the ''Literature/NoGameNoLife Zero'' movie dub, this is one of the few dubbing co-productions which doesn't feature either Mexicans or Hispanic voice actors from the U.S. Also, this is the first Creator/SentaiFilmworks' non-English dub.

* {{Defictionalization}}: The Lunarian puppy plushies Red Beryl makes for Diamond and the other gems are real toys that can actually be purposed, at least on eBay.

** Cinnamon for Cinnabar.
** Phos post [[spoiler:getting Lapis' head]] is usually called "[=LaPhos=]".
** Cairngorm gets all sorts of silly nicknames to mispronounce their name. "Craig" is most common. "Cringeworm" or "Mooncake" became popular alternate nicknames for Cairngorm after [[spoiler:they get their eyes replaced]], at least on 4chan threads. "Karen" also became popular.

* FandomLifeCycle: While initially hugely popular in the west when the Anime adaptation came out, the series eventually went through all the stages of this over the years due to lack of a second season for the Anime adaptation when it would have mattered (with there still not being one announced years later). Most fans opted to turn to the Manga as they waited, but instead were turned off over time due to the dreaded [[ArcFatigue Moon arc]] that dragged on for several long chapters and halted story progression, [[DarknessInducedAudienceApathy Phos’ perpetual suffering]] and the fact that the manga introducing a ship that [[{{Squick}} squicked]] out readers. Nowadays, the western fandom has a small cult following that keeps up with the Manga as it’s implied to near its end.

%% When adding or editing a trope, please make sure to use the pronouns "they/them" to refer to the gems, as those are the pronouns the gems go by in the source material.

* FandomLifeCycle: Went through all the stages of this over the years in the west due to lack of a second season for the acclaimed Anime adaptation when it would have mattered (And still not one on the horizon as far as fans are informed) and the Manga’s dreaded moon ArcFatigue which had begun to turn fans away for [[{{Squick}} various]] reasons. Nowadays, it has a small cult following that keep up with the Manga chapters, with the Manga itself implying it’s nearing its end.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The first preview for the anime was entirely in 2D animation, implying that the series wasn't actually going to animated in 3D.
