%% ** And Tsubame in the movie though that's because the movie was animated by Creator/ProductionIG instead of Creator/AshiProductions

* VillainousBSOD: Tsubame Otorii. Since her introduction, she acts as the Dragon to the Big Bad, easily defeating the Cyber Team girls in every encounter. [[spoiler:In episode 20, Tsubame is dragged home by Hibari. She spends the entire episode slowly breaking down while watching how Hibari's family interacts with one another, eventually suffering a Villainous BSOD and freakout by the credits, followed by a Heel Face Turn in the next episode.]] The episode is also one long TearJerker, as we see how horrible a childhood Tsubame actually has had up to this point.

* {{Fanservice}}: And most of it done by 12-13 years old girls.
* [[FairyTaleMotifs Fairy Tale Symbolism]]: Part of Hibari's CharacterDevelopment is to outgrow her wish for a fairy tale prince. At one point the fairytale "The Red Shoes" are brought up [[spoiler: as a item and a metaphor of the mind control Shooting Star inflicts on Hibari.]]

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: All the Pata-Pis.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Suzume's attitude towards Hibari, borderline with SchoolgirlLesbians. Hibari and Tsubame's friendship has traces of this too.
* ScienceIsBad: [[spoiler: Crane believes this.]]
* SchoolgirlLesbians: Uzura.
* ShapeShifter: The Homonculi.
* SkinshipGrope: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] at the end of the obligatory hot springs episode, when Kamome declares that they've finally gone through all the necessary cliches.

* StartOfDarkness: Each of the Sibyl team has one, as explored in episode 9.
* TeenGenius: Crane used to be one [[spoiler:and Takashi, being his clone, is also one]].
* ThemeNaming: The surnames of the Cyber Team are all names of railway stations; the given names of almost every important character are [[AnimalThemeNaming all names of birds]].

* TimeSkip: There's a 5-month gap between episodes 24 and 25.
** And a one year time skip in the movie
* TransformationSequence: For every Cyber Team girl. When they all transform, a shorter version is usually used, except for Hibari, of course. [[spoiler:Especially cool when Hibari "unites" with Densuke.]]
* TransformingMecha
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: [[spoiler: After realizing that he was a ReplacementGoldfish for Crane Bahnsteik, Takashi has a VillanousBreakdown and attempt to turn against Chistian by attacking the Cyber Team girls by himself, but cannot bring himself to finish the job because he was conditioned by Christian into loyalty. He takes it pretty bad ans leaves the town, since he cannot do anything to stop Christian.]]

* TykeBomb: Tsubame.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Tsugumi and Suzume.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Poor [[spoiler:Takashi, being cloned/created to look like Crane and failing for a bit, and treated like crap by his "father".]]
** [[spoiler: Made even worse as Christian conditioned him to be this, so he couldn't even find solace in having three gorgeous women absolutely head over heels for him. He couldn't either turn against Christian.]]

''Cyber Team in Akihabara'' is an anime series which moves from being a lighthearted MagicalGirl show to a much darker MagicalGirl show involving a plot to destroy the world.

** And Tsubame in the movie though that's because the movie was animated by Creator/ProductionIG instead of Creator/ProductionREED

* BreakTheCutie: Played in reverse. Tsubame Otorii is introduced as a WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds who viciously attacks and defeats the main cast every chance she gets. [[spoiler: It's eventually shown just how badly broken she is. In a late episode, Hibari goes to great lengths to try and befriend Tsubame. After an emotional breakdown in which she compares her life to Hibari's, Tsubame joins the Cyber Team, and spends the remainder of the series trying to repair her broken childhood with good memories as an adopted child in the Hanakoganei household.]]

** In the later episodes there's a ''very'' [[http://mu6.me/133814 obvious rip off]] of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnH_zwVmiuE Pick Up The Pieces]], you gotta wonder how Mitsumune wasn't sued for ripping off this ''and'' the above mentioned Disco Inferno with virtually no difference

* OneDialogueTwoConversations: The CrowningMomentOfFunny where the Cyber Team misunderstands Hibari's "uniting" with Densuke as her uniting...in a different way.

** Suzume goes to the other extreme by using "[[{{Japanese Pronouns}} watakushi]]"

* JAMProject: Granted, this was two years before JAM Project was even a thing and 4 years before she joined, but Masami Okui DOES sing the majority of the songs in the series

* {{Shotacon}}: The infatuation that the Sibyl team feels towards Takashi, the Black Prince (who is 14) can be seen as this.

* UsefulNotes/WorldWarI:[[spoiler: Crane Bahnsteik's]] disgust of the bloodshed is what prompted him to escape from Earth in 1918. He also uses it to justify why humanity hasn't changed at all and needs to be destroyed.
* YuuAsakawa: Voices Tsugumi in the Japanese version.

''Cyber Team in Akihabara'' is an anime series which moves from being a lighthearted MagicalGirl show to a much darker MagicalGirl show that involving a plot to destroy the world.

* RedheadedHero: Hibari.

** And Tsubame in the movie though that's because the movie was animated by Creator/ProductionIG instead of ProductionREED

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: [[spoiler: In the finale, the Pata-pis' love for the girls overrides their obedience to Crane, their creator, and they defy his wishes in order to save the girls.]]
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: produced in 1998 and set in 2010.

** [[spoiler: Made even worse as Christian conditioned him to be this, so he couldn't even find solace in having three gorgeous women absolutely head over heels for him.]]

* MegumiHayashibara: Voices Tsubame in the Japanese version.

* IWasQuiteALooker: Kamome's grandpa, surprisingly.

The main character is Hibari Hanakoganei, an [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Ordinary Middle School Student]] who dreams of getting her own Pata-Pi, the new fad toy. She is given one by her prince, whom she has previously seen in a dream, and calls it Densuke. This leads her to being attacked by [[OurHomunculiAreDifferent Homunculi]], which are controlled by a team of three young women, and protected by her Pata-Pi turning into a Diva - the Diva being a combination of [[ClassicalMythology Greek goddess]] and PoweredArmor.

* DisneyDeath: Takashi

** And Tsubame in the movie though that's because the movie was animated by ProductionIG instead of ProductionREED

Soon she is joined by the other four members of the Cyber Team, each with her own Pata-Pi, thus forming a FiveManBand to fight the TerribleTrio (the Sibyl Team) that opposes them.

* FiveManBand: The Cyber Team.
** Hibari even lampshades this trope when she sees Uzura dressed up in a Diva costume and wonders if she's the final member of their team, since "the rule of thumb is that you need five members to complete an anime team."

* WorldWarI:[[spoiler: Crane Bahnsteik's]] disgust of the bloodshed is what prompted him to escape from Earth in 1918. He also uses it to justify why humanity hasn't changed at all and needs to be destroyed.

* [[spoiler: TheAgeless: Several characters via the [[ImmortalityInducer Elixir of Life]].]]
* [[spoiler: AncientConspiracy: The Rosenkreuz, similar to {{the Illuminati}}.]]

* HeyItsThatVoice: This isn't the only time Creator/LuciChristian has voiced an [[Anime/PrincessTutu awkward red-headed Magical Girl who dreams about a white-haired prince]].

* RoseHairedGirl: Tsubame is an aversion, since she avoids all the character types usually associated with pink hair.
