5	The plot of the game is that, due to the interaction of ''TabletopGame/MageTheAscension'''s Consensus reality, and the imagination of young anime fans, various 90's anime have become real. Children and teenagers who would have otherwise become mages, instead become {{Expy}}s of their favorite anime characters, like the [[Franchise/SailorMoon Sailor Scouts]] and the [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth Magic Knights]]. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity (and much bloodshed) ensues]].

11	!!This fan-made RPG provides examples of:
12
13	* {{Angst}}: Given that the PC's are teenagers, this is required. But not as bad as the angst of the Wraiths, obviously.
14	* MacGuffin: The Silver Crystal, lampshaded.
15	* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Monologuing is a skill.
16	* OcularGushers: Crybaby is a merit and a talent.
17	* SailorEarth: Your player characters, obviously. "Sailor Oort Cloud" is a potential character.
18	* {{Parody}}: Oh yeah. Lampshaded.
19	* {{Splat}}: The Cliquebooks.
20	* TakeThat: Several. For example, past Youma traps have included:
21	*** Boutiques with Life-Sapping jewelry.
22	*** Tennis Lessons.
23	*** Working for Microsoft.
24	* TransformationSequence
25	* TransformationIsAFreeAction: But only if you take the Instant Transformation merit. Otherwise, once you begin transforming, any foe who wants to attack you must make a willpower check at a difficulty of 10, or just stand there and stare at you, probably because you briefly become naked during this process.
