13 | |
14 | * UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash: The series is animated with this. |
15 | * AsideGlance: The glances tend to be directly facing the (4-koma) 'camera', but this occurs frequently with some characters, namely Makoto and Ritsuko -- with the same exasperated expression. |
16 | --> '''Haruka''': [[LampshadeHanging Where are you looking?]] |
17 | * AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: When the Producer sends Ritsuko on a Haruka-san scavenger hunt, some of the clones are huge. |
18 | * BlandNameProduct: Amazoon (Amazon) was mentioned in Season 2 Episode 1, and V@IO (Sony Vaio) computers are used in the 765 Pro offices in Season 2 Episode 8 |
19 | * BottleEpisode: |
20 | ** Season 2 Episode 20 consists entirely of Yayoi and Yayo standing in front of a makeshift curtain wall and playing RockPaperScissors - it lacks even the opening. |
21 | ** S2 Episode 65 is similar, except this time it's Miki and Afu. |
22 | * ButtMonkey: The Producer. |
23 | * TheCameo: Believe it or not, ''[[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Heihachi Mishima]]'' is one of 765's backers. He's also [[BadassAdorable Makocchi's]] teacher in fighting moves. |
24 | * CensoredForComedy: You know how Takane likes to keep her background secret? In s2 episode 48, while she's in her kitchen, the background is replaced by a picture of a purple swirl and the message "Shijou Takane-san has requested that we not show the contents of her residence to the public". |
25 | * CharacterExaggeration[=/=]{{Flanderization}}: Mainly due to RuleOfFunny. |
26 | * CutenessProximity: Takane moreso than everyone in the cast. |
27 | * EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: The title changes color usually depending on which Puchidol is the focus. In the season 1 finale, it's a rainbow of all the idols' image colors. |
28 | * FingerlessHands: The puchis - lampshaded in Season 2 Episode 20, where nobody knows what Yayo played in RockPaperScissors except Yayoi. |
29 | * FracturedFairytale: The first episode of s2 is a retelling of ''Literature/{{Momotaro}}'', puchi-style. |
30 | ** S2 episode 47 is a mashup of ''Princess Kaguya'' and ''Literature/SnowWhite'' - but then again, it ''is'' being told by [[CloudCuckoolander Takane]]. |
31 | * FreezeFrameBonus: Season 2 Episode 19 shows that [[ShowWithinAShow "Live?!]] [[Anime/TheIdolmaster On Sundays"]] exists in this continuity. |
32 | * HilarityEnsues: The basic formula. |
33 | * MediumBlending: S2 episode 50 is a fusion of animation and live-action hand puppets. |
34 | * NonHumanHead: The Producer is depicted with having a yellow letter P for a head. |
35 | * {{Nosebleed}}: Usually seen on Takane and Kotori. Interestingly, Kotori tends to get it due to CutenessProximity rather than the YuriFan tendencies of her mainstream portrayal. |
36 | %%* OnlySaneMan: Usually the older idols such as Azusa and Ritsuko. |
37 | %%** Chicchan and [=PiyoPiyo=] play this role among the puchidols. |
38 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: In chapter 61, Hibiki runs into a classic Japanese ''yƫrei'' who's trying to get some sleep. |
39 | * PaperThinDisguise: In s2 episode 69, [[SickEpisode the Producer's off ill]], so Koami and Komami take it on themselves to impersonate him for a meeting about organising a mini-concert by [[TotemPoleTrench wearing a coat and a cardboard P for a head]]. Ritsuko sees right through it, but the mini-concert organiser is completely oblivious. |
40 | * PokemonSpeak: The petit idols. |
41 | * PrettyFreeloaders: More 'cute' than 'pretty' though. |
42 | * PuniPlush: The anime shorts use this style for the main idols, in comparison to their more standard looks in the manga. The puchidols are FunSize regardless of the adaptation. |
43 | * RunningGag: In addition to the 'standard' ''Idolm@ster'' gags, there are several restricted to this manga, e.g. Chihaya's tendency to give weird names to the petit idols or Haruka's tendency to pour water on Haruka-san to make it multiply. |
44 | * ShipTease: Mostly between The Producer and Ritsuko. [[DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale However, like most comedy manga...]] |
45 | * SliceOfLife |
46 | * SuperDeformed: The puchidols are treated and referred to as "mysterious lifeforms", but appearance-wise they're really just chibi versions of the main cast. |
47 | * SurpriseParty: Ritsuko, Miki, and the twins throw one for Haruka, but their way of doing it involved a robotic duplicate of her. They apologize when they realize the buildup went too far. |
48 | ** HappyBirthdayToYou: A recorder version is the background music at the end of the episode. |
49 | * TearsOfJoy: |
50 | ** In the last episode of s1, Ritsuko when [[spoiler:the Puchi hold a cherry blossom viewing party to thank everyone for taking care of them]]. |
51 | ** In season 2 episode 3, Haruka when she's wished a happy birthday. |
52 | * UnusuallyUninterestingSight: No one ever seems to notice that the Puchidols look incredibly similar to the main cast themselves, and everyone just views them as "mysterious lifeforms". |
