151----
152!!Tropes exhibited by Satelight:
153
154* AnimationBump: Certain episodes of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', often the CG is of far higher quality. This can quality for most of their anime, including ''Basquash!!'' and ''Anime/GenesisOfAquarion.''
155* DerangedAnimation: They worked with Creator/HongYing on ''Basquash!!'', which is an odd series in and of itself. ''Fairy Tail'' also has its moments.
156* NoExportForYou: They're one of the many [[note]]along with Harmony Gold, Big West, Creator/TatsunokoProduction and Creator/StudioNue[[/note]] involved with the ''Macross'' licensing spat.
