Finished Mia, Mai, and Midori\'s Routes: adding tropes for each of them. Also removing or relocating tropes from the anime section that were already in, or apply to the \"both anime and game\" section.


* TheAce: Feena excels in the classroom, and Natsuki mentions that during her match Feena defeated the vice-president of the kendo club.



* FantasticRacism: Most of the Moon people have an hatred of Earthlings due to the bad blood between Moon and Earth. The theme is particulary explored in Feena's and Estel's Routes, with the most blatant offenders among the characters being pre-CharacterDevelopment![[DefrostingIceQueen Estel]] in the game, and [[AristocratsAreEvil Jurgen]] in the anime.

The theme is particulary explored in Feena's and Estel's Routes, with the most blatant offenders among the characters being pre-CharacterDevelopment![[DefrostingIceQueen Estel]] in the game, and [[AristocratsAreEvil Jurgen]] in the anime.anime:
** Estel, a brillant priestess from the Moon who has been assigned on Earth, initially has nothing but scorn and hate towards Earthlings, puzzling Tatsuya whom she showed her kind side the first time they met (she didn't know he was an Earthling at that time). [[spoiler: He later discovers she initially didn't have any particular prejudice towards Earthlings: she developed this [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex to cope with her inferiority complex]] of being an orphan without origins during her time at Silent Moonlight Institute, where other students jealous of her excellence, used this card to destabilize her. [[ReassignedToAntarctica Being send on Earth]] because of [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections her lack of connections]] didn't help either]].
** Feena's "fiance" Jurgen from the Moon absolutely detests Earthlings, and tries to put on a smile while at Tatsuya's house, but he has a brief look of disgust while Mai tries to clean off some tea she accidentally spilled on him. He's also very against any kind of relationship between the Moon and Earth.
* HairDecorations: Natsuki, Mai, Midori and Estel wear them. In Midori's case, it was added in the {{PS2}} port, where [[AscendedExtra she becomes a main heroine]]; and in Mai's case, her white ribbons turn out to be a crucial plot point in the game, as [[spoiler: they're the symbol of ThePromise she and Tatsuya made when they were young, of not telling to anyone they're NotBloodSiblings. In the climax of her Route, in agreement with Tatsuya, [[ItsAllJunk she lets them fly away in the wind]], cementing their turn from siblings to lovers.]]



* CannotSpitItOut: Tatsuya neatly averts it in [[spoiler: Estel]]'s Route. He confesses his feelings to her as soon as he realizes them, [[spoiler: but she refuses her confession, as, by this point of the storyline, while she has begun to fall in love with him, she still hasn't fully sorted out her FantasticRacism issues. Tatsuya, realizing this, decides not to give up, and to patiently melt her armor some more before trying again.]]

He confesses his feelings to her as soon as he realizes them, [[spoiler: but she refuses her confession, as, by this point of the storyline, while she has begun to fall in love with him, she still hasn't fully sorted out her FantasticRacism issues. Tatsuya, realizing this, decides not to give up, and to patiently melt her armor some more before trying again.]]]]
** Played straight in most of the other Routes, though. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in Mai's, as both she and Tatsuya, while having both developed feelings of love for each other, are held back for a long time, first for confessing their feelings to each other, then to tell them to everyone, by both ThePromise they did in their childhood days of never revealing to anyone they're NotBloodSiblings, and the fear of destroying the family they form with Sayaka by this reveal.



* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: No matter the Route you'll go, [[ShipperOnDeck all the other heroines will support the relationship]] between Tatsuya and the heroine of the Route. Natsuki is the one who stands out the most, as she has numerous scenes in various Routes blatantly showing she's in love with Tatsuya, or someone else (usually [[ButtMonkey Jin]]) making snide comments; she even is an active [[TheMatchmaker matchmaker]] in Midori's Route.



* ReassignedToAntarctica: In the Silent Moonlight Church, being assigned to a post on Earth is considered as this, unlike in the Moon government and the Military where it's considered as an honor. [[spoiler: Because of this, Estel initially hates being on Earth and tries her best to be reassigned to the Moon.]]
* RPGEpisode: In Midori's Route, when Midori tries to take Tatsuya in playing with her instead of doing their school task of collecting trash on the beach, a parody of the ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' battle sequence will appear, with Midori as the random encounter monster (and Tatsuya is listed as of the "Earthling" Class in his battle stats). Trying to fight or run away from Midori is useless, and even if you insist in doing so, after a few turns the option "Play with her" [[ButThouMust will appear as all three selectable options]].
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: How the External Affairs branch of the Silent Moonlight Church works. Only candidates with personal connections with influent people inside the Moon society can apply in that branch, no matter how brillant the potential candidate is. [[spoiler: [[ReassignedToAntarctica Estel makes the bitter experience of this]]; and [[ReassignmentBackfire when she becomes a close acquaintance of none other but Princess Feena]], the bigwigs at Silent Moonlight immediately turn their coat and try to assign her back to External Affairs on the Moon. She refuses, as by that time, she has fallen in love with Tatsuya and has come to love Earth.]]




to:

* WhatTheHellHero:
** In Estel's Route, Priest Moritz pulls one on Estel, for refusing to help Tatsuya as a priestess, in contradiction with both her own morals and the dogmas' of the Silent Moonlight Church, [[FantasticRacism just because he's an Earthling]]. After that, she has no choice but to accept cooperating with Tatsuya in making the Moon-themed conference he was asked to do by his classmates.
** In Mia's Route, [[spoiler: Feena gets a spectacular one from Mia, as she was about to agree with a plan to have Sayaka used as TheScapegoat after an incident occured in a reception of officials from both Earth and the Moon, [[IDidWhatIHadToDo for the sake of the Moon-Earth relationship]]: Mia was entrusted by both Feena's mother and her own to watch over Feena and make sure she wouldn't ever follow the wrong path. As this call-out comes from such a ShrinkingViolet, it's acknowledged as a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for Mia InUniverse by Tatsuya. With some extra explanation from Tatsuya, Feena realizes her mistake, and [[TakeAThirdOption Takes A Third Option]] that saves both Sayaka and the situation instead.]]



* TheAce: Feena excels in the classroom, and Natsuki mentions that during her match Feena defeated the vice-president of the kendo club.



* FantasticRacism: Feena's "fiance" Jurgen from the moon absolutely detests Earthlings, and tries to put on a smile while at Tatsuya's house, but he has a brief look of disgust while Mai tries to clean off some tea she accidentally spilled on him. He's also very against any kind of relationship between the Moon and Earth.



* LethalChef: Natsuki, who somehow burns salads...



* SecretTestOfCharacter: In episode 8, Karen is skeptical of Tatsuya and Feena's relationship, and vows to determine his worthiness by having him fight Feena in a kendo match. After a week of TrainingFromHell by Takano, Tatsuya has his match with her, and loses. [[spoiler: However, Karen asks how they feel despite the outcome of the match, and both still want to stay together to achieve each other's dreams, after which she promises to do everything she can to convince the king that Tatsuya is a worthy candidate for Feena's husband since despite setbacks they still have a strong resolve, which was really what she wanted to see in them.]]

Added DiffLines:

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Wreath plays this trope straight, arguing against killing Tatsuya because he showed kindness to her, and even risked his life to save her from an oncoming car (she could've stopped/destroyed it herself, but its the thought that counts), despite Fiacca's insistence that peace could never exist between the Earth and the Moon.


Added DiffLines:

* HumansAreBastards: Fiacca strongly believes in this, due to the Oedipus war as seen in the first episode. Jurgen believes it to a lesser extent, and feels that PeaceThroughSuperiorFirepower is the only way to coexist with the Earth, so long as the moon holds the BiggerStick.

* ActionGirl: Karen, who dispatches 4 guards without breaking a sweat in episode 11.



* BigDamnHeroes: A few characters pull these off throughout the series.

He's also very against any kind of relationship between the Moon and Earth.

Added DiffLines:

* FlashBack: Parts of episode 10 show the moon king's past when he was the same age as Feena, and how he ended up with the queen. Chiharu, who Tatsuya mentioned going to the moon for a brief period posing as a student, was the one who [[ShipperOnDeck helped encourage]] the future king to be more bold towards Cephilia.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Remember Tatsuya's dad getting kidnapped by aliens as [[ImagineSpot imagined]] by Mai in episode 5? [[spoiler: It turns out that he really abducted, but seems to have made friends with them, as they show up in the last episode after Takano broadcasts everything Tatsuya and Feena were doing on the moon. Said aliens are also present at Feena and Tatsuya's wedding a few years later.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TheGlomp: Sayaka does this to Wreath in the last episode.

Added DiffLines:

* ManipulativeBastard: Jurgen, who constantly rattles sabers in an attempt to provoke a war with Earth again.


Added DiffLines:

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Both the moon's king and the UN president are pretty reasonable and generally try not to jump to conclusions when things happen. Even when he's told about Karen's supposed defection, he still orders her to be taken alive, although Jurgen tells his minions to kill her on sight.


Added DiffLines:

* ShipperOnDeck: Takano for Tatsuya and Feena, and Chiharu for Lyones and Cephilia.


Added DiffLines:

* BishieSparkle: Feena has one around her when she first works at the restaurant. It follows her around as she leads customers to tables.



* FantasticRacism: Feena's "fiance" from the moon absolutely detests Earthlings, and tries to put on a smile while at Tatsuya's house, but he has a brief look of disgust while Mai tries to clean off some tea she accidentally spilled on him. He's also very against any kind of relationship between the Moon and Earth.



* GenreSavvy: In episode 2, Sayaka, Tatsuya, and Mai yoink Feena and Mia away from a window. Then Jin comes flying out of one of them near where they were standing just moments before. Feena and Tatsuya do this to Wreath in episode 6 as well.



* HeroicBSOD: In episode 7, after both Feena and Tatsuya are told they shouldn't be in contact with each other, both seem very unhappy while separated.



* LargeHam: Usually Jin, but Takano sometimes falls into this trope as well.



* LoveConfession: [[spoiler: Tatsuya gives one to Feena at the end of episode 7.]]
* LoveEpiphany: Tatsuya finds this out about himself in episode 7. Interestingly enough, his ChildHoodFriend Natsuki points it out to him.



* RunningGag: Jin getting his pay repeatedly taken away to pay for various damages he causes due to Natsuki's attacks on him. Hilariously, in one instance, his father deducts pay from him for Tatsuya's mistakes in episode 7.



* SuperDeformed: Many characters revert to this from time to time, and in some cases, a few characters are still their normal size while a few go {{Chibi}}.




to:

* WhamEpisode: Episode 7, which starts going into serious drama territory after the much lighter earlier episodes, and starts with Feena and Tatsuya being largely forcibly separated from each other. It also introduces Feena's supposed fiance, whom she repeatedly tells various characters such as her father that she rejected a marriage proposal to him prior to leaving for Earth.

* ClingyJealousGirl: Sayaka gets a bit jealous, albeit in a cute, and largely drunk, way, when she asks Karen why the latter has a boyfriend when they already have each other. Sayaka then proceeds to pin her to the ground with a hug.


Added DiffLines:

** Both Tatsuya and Takano also suffer from this, although in Tatsuya's case he usually doesn't deserve it, largely due to Takano getting him into trouble with the girls.


Added DiffLines:

* [[spoiler: ForgottenChildhoodFriend: In episode 5, Feena asks Tatsuya why he's so devoted to going to the moon. He tells her about when he was younger and met a young girl who was from there. They both lost their mothers recently and cried together, but soon after learned to stop crying. Feena's guards find her and take her back, but not before Tatsuya promises that he's going to visit her on the moon someday. Afterwards he realizes the young girl was Feena, who's happy he's kept his promise.]]


Added DiffLines:

* NeverGetsDrunk: Karen, who doesn't seem to show any signs of inebriation despite Takano giving her several bottles of booze in episode 5.
* NewTransferStudent: Feena in episode 2.


Added DiffLines:

** Takano also has this look on his face after his assistant ditches him when several of the girls get mad at him for not telling them the island wasn't uninhabited.
* SeriousBusiness: In episode 4, Karen blows up Tatsuya's house to get rid of some cockroaches. Earlier Feena took a {{BFG}} and shot it up as well.


Added DiffLines:

** Episode 5 has one for {{Film/Jaws}}, when a shark fin appears near the beach where Tatsuya was teaching Feena how to swim.


Added DiffLines:

* TheReveal: Two examples in episode 5.
** First, [[spoiler: Tatsuya finding out that the little girl he promised to visit on the moon was in fact Feena, who's happy that he's kept his promise after all this time. This also helps explain when Feena visited Earth as a child, and why she didn't get upset with him in the first episode when he grabbed her nose, as he did that to her when they were younger to help cheer her up.]]
** In the second, it turns out that the island they were stranded on wasn't exactly uninhabited, and Takano just claimed it was. Several of the girls are not happy to hear about that, and start chasing after him as he tries to run away. Feena says she still had a good time however.

* NotWhatItLooksLike: In episode 4, Takano is showing Tatsuya some peeping tom videos he took of the various girls taking a bath. Cue his sister walking in on them, and then beating him up while he's in his underwear on the bed. Then Mia and Feena also walk in to see it. Much to his chagrin, both Takano and his assistant have vanished, so it seems to the girls that he was checking them out. They hilariously take their anger out on him, shortly before the misunderstanding is cleared up.

* ShoutOut: In episode 4 and his appearance in the last episode, Tatsuya's dad carries a whip and wears a fedora, much like Franchise/IndianaJones. Also in the 4th episode, Feena goes {{Rambo}} on the bugs in the study and uses a motion detector ala {{Aliens}}.

!!Tropes exclusive to the game versions of ''YoakeMaeYoriRuriIroNa'':

* AnotherSideAnotherStory: At various points of the routes, the story's point of view changes from Tatsuya, to another character (often, but not limited to, the route's heroine), allowing to the player to know the feelings of those characters. Those events are called "Another View" in the game.
* AscendedExtra: Midori Tohyama, Tatsuya's classmate, has been one of the possible love interests since PS2 adaption. Estel Freesia also fits, in that [[spoiler:she appears in Feena's ending in the PS2 and MC versions, whereas she didn't appear in the PC original]].
* TheAtoner: Priest Moritz, who, in various [[AnotherSideAnotherStory Another View]] events, mentions he's in penance for something terrible he did in the past. [[spoiler: The nature of his sin is the final [[TheReveal Reveal]] of Estel's Route: he was a noble from a cream-of-the-crop Lunarian house, who, 20 years before, was appointed as the first ambassador of the newly built Lunarian Embassy on Earth. He had a daughter he adored, named Freesia, who, before he knew it, fell in love with an Earthling. Getting wind of this, [[StarCrossedLovers Moritz forcefully separated them]], but later discovered she was pregnant with their child, and she kept it in spite of her father's opposition. The baby was born, but Moritz, not accepting the situation, abandoned it at an orphanage behind Freesia's back. [[DespairEventHorizon Freesia died from the emotional shock]], causing Moritz [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone to deeply regret his actions]], and wanting to take back the baby and raise it. The orphanage refused, so he decided to throw away his noble title, and enter the orders, so he could watch over the baby and help as many people as possible. [[LukeIAmYourFather And who was that baby? Estel]].]]
* CannotSpitItOut: Tatsuya neatly averts it in [[spoiler: Estel]]'s Route. He confesses his feelings to her as soon as he realizes them, [[spoiler: but she refuses her confession, as, by this point of the storyline, while she has begun to fall in love with him, she still hasn't fully sorted out her FantasticRacism issues. Tatsuya, realizing this, decides not to give up, and to patiently melt her armor some more before trying again.]]
* CutenessProximity: [[spoiler: Estel]], who's a covert [[HeroesLoveDogs dog lover]] and literally ''melts'' upon meeting one. [[spoiler: Tatsuya accidentally discovers her secret at the beginning of her Route, much to her embarassement, and it becomes an important part [[DefrostingIceQueen in cracking her armor.]]]]
* DeadGuyJunior: [[spoiler: Estel, whose family name is, unbeknownst to her, the first name of her biological mother, Freesia.]]
* FanTranslation: A work in progress. Erengy Projects, the same group which translated ''Canvas 2'', is striving to translate a worksafe Windows version.
* [[spoiler: HalfBreed]]: The [[spoiler: first]] big [[TheReveal Reveal]] of Estel's Route. [[spoiler: At around 2/3 of the story, Estel [[ContrivedCoincidence accidentally learns]] [[ExactEavesDropping through a secret conversation]] between Priest Moritz and his biological father's brother, who came to announce [[HollywoodHeartAttack her father's death]] and wishes to take care of Estel, that [[MalignedMixedMarriage she's the child of an Earthling and a Lunarian]]. The shock caused by this reveal, combined with the stress she had in the last few days and her FantasticRacism issues, sends her into a ''severe'' HeroicBSOD.]]
* IceQueen : Estel starts as this towards Tatsuya, due to her FantasticRacism. [[DefrostingIceQueen As she gradually opens to]], [[LoveEpiphany and falls in love with him]], she evolves into a Type A {{Tsundere}}.
* TearsOfJoy: [[spoiler: Estel]] sheds these upon seeing the kindness of everyone, [[spoiler: after the conference she and Tatsuya organized together is successfully over, in the climax of her Route]].
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cream puffs for Feena. The scene where she eats one for the first time is even treated as if she had eaten an ImpossiblyDeliciousFood, with her gushing about the taste (when the other characters have a normal "delicious" reaction) while LoveBubbles appear in the background.

!!Tropes exclusive to the anime ''YoakeMaeYoriRuriIroNa ~Crescent Love~'' :

* TheAnimeOfTheGame
* AnimationBump / BetterOnDVD: Some scenes barely look the same. [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/135252 Compare for yourself.]]
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: In episode 4, Tatsuya and Mai jokingly mention that their dad was investigating 'alien ruins' and might have been abducted. Sayaka and the President look at pictures of a UFO in passing and suspect it is a new Lunar ship. Then when Tatasuya gets shot in the last episode, aliens save his life (partly because his father had been traveling with them).]]
* TheComicallySerious: Estel.
* DeusExMachina: In the anime, [[spoiler: After getting shot and dying protecting Feena, Tatsuya is suddenly brought back by aliens.]]
* HufflepuffHouse: In the anime, everyone who isn't Feena or directly related to her.
* OffModel: The infamous "[[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/501835/cabbage-episode3-gif-lowres-quality-quality_cabbag QUALITY cabbage]]" in the third episode of the anime was just the beginning. ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoake_Mae_yori_Ruriiro_na#Media OtherWiki]])
* ShoutOut: In episode 4 and his appearance in the last episode, Tatsuya's dad carries a whip and wears a fedora, much like Franchise/IndianaJones. Also in the 4th episode, Feena goes {{Rambo}} on the bugs in the study using a motion detector and a {{BFG}} ala ''{{Aliens}}'', in order to save her protegee Mia (like Ripley did for Newt); she also calls Karen for reinforcements, who comes in a ''Aliens'' DropShip-lookalike and pulverizes the Asagiri house LV-426-style.
* TwelveEpisodeAnime: The [[AnimeOfTheGame anime]] [[AnimatedAdaptation adaptation]], properly called ''Yoake Mae Yori Ruri Iro Na ~Crescent Love~'' [[hottip:*:as opposed to [[http://www.theanimenetwork.com/Anime/Brighter-than-the-Dawning-Blue/Watch Brighter than the Dawning Blue]].

* ImpossibleTask: Karen, who's the person the King of Sphere has entrusted with judging potential husbands for Feena, and can't approve of Feena and Tatsuya's relationship in Feena's Route (due to him being an Earthling ''and'' a commoner), sets one on them: Tatsuya has to defeat Feena in a kendo match. Problem is, Tatsuya has never practiced kendo, Feena is an expert kendoka, and he only has one week to prepare for the match... [[spoiler: Feena defeats him, but it ultmately turns out to be a SecretTestOfCharacter, in order to test [[{{Determinator}} their determination]]. They pass the test with flying colors, allowing Karen to fully support them]].


Added DiffLines:

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Cream puffs for Feena. The scene where she eats one for the first time is even treated as if she had eaten an ImpossiblyDeliciousFood, with her gushing about the taste (when the other characters have a normal "delicious" reaction) while LoveBubbles appear in the background.
