History Anime / DiamondDaydreams

* BleachedUnderpants: Semi-example: the illustrator, Oyari Ashito aka NOCCHI, is also known for illustrating eroges like Girlish Grimoire: Littlewitch Romanesque.
** A ''voice actress'' example: Atsuko's voice actress Eriko Ishihara was also a porn actress when she voiced Atsuko. [http://vgmdb.net/forums/showthread.php?t=1616] Unfortunately, it seems that she's doing both voice acting and porn roles at the same time. Both her seiyuu company and her porn company found it out and as of 2004, she's out of the seiyuu business permanently. As it wasn't enough, her AV company also fired her. [[TheWoobie Poor Eriko.]]

* IllGirl: Karin.

* {{Meganekko}}: Kyouko.

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Hanna and Suomi's relationship has definite elements of this.

* RealPlaceBackground: The series shows off many of Hokkaido's [[SceneryPorn eye-catching locales]], including the towns of Sapporo, Hokkaido and Asahikawa.

* AcquaintedInRealLife: Karin begins receiving emails from a "fan" who she believes to be her doctor at the hospital, on whom she develops a crush. [[Spoiler:She later finds out that she's actually been communicating with the doctor's nurse and girlfriend, who'd wanted to help her gain the courage to receive life-saving surgery.]]

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Atsuko's great-grandmother asking Minoru if he can make her happy. After this, he stops taking the marriage for granted and vows to become a batter potential husband for Atusko.

All of the girls [[ComingOfAgeStory become stronger and more independent]] through their experiences, which gives the series a very [[SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} positive feel]]. If you ever wanted to be clubbed over the head with wave after wave of SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments, this is it.

* {{Dojikko}}: Atsuko & Akari.

^^ Kyoko's "Let me clarify one thing."

* HistoryRepeats: [[InvokedTrope Invoked]] by Atsuko's mother. The reason she is so wary about Mr. Tanaka is because she doesn't want Atsuko making the same mistake she did, [[spoiler: abandoning her arranged marriage with Minoru's father in order to marry Atsuko's father.]]

* {{Dojikko}}: Atsuko.

* IndirectKiss: Haruto gets one through Suomi's chopsticks.

* ArrangedMarriage: There is one set up for Atsuko, but she won't have any of it.

* PhenotypeStereotype: Suomi. This is somewhat justified, since a Finnish person has a higher likelyhood of being blond and blue-eyed.

* ThereAreNoTherapists: For some reason Karin gets absolutely no professional counseling for her fear of surgery.

Atsuko, Karin, Kyoko, Suomi, Shoko and Akari live in different cities on Japan's northern island of Hokkaido. The girls have very diverging life styles, but they all share the belief in the mythical properties of "diamond dust", which occurs [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_dust when pretty floating ice crystals form in freezing air]].

!!Tropes:

* AnimeAccentAbsence: Suomi's Japanese is impeccable
* ArrangedMarriage: There is one set up for Atsuko, but she won't have any of it.
* BackForTheFinale: Some of the girls meet each other in the last episode.
* BaitAndSwitchCredits: The girls are depicted as a group of friends, which would have been interesting.

* TheChewToy : Jurota.

* DreamSequence: Karin has a few, which are at times [[NightmareDreams pretty scary]].

* {{Flashback}}: numerous
* FuroScene: There is one for Shoko, which actually has a very symbolic meaning.

* SliceOfLife: In purity perhaps only surpassed by ''Anime/{{Piano}}''.
* SnowMeansLove: The whole premise of the show, since diamond dust fulfils the role of snow just fine.
* SoapOperaDisease: The illness of Akari's father. Somewhat.
* SparklingStreamOfTears: Hanna after her emotional talk with Suomi.
* StalkerWithACrush: Shoko has one, but doesn't mind after a while. [[spoiler: He actually turns out to be rather nice]].
* SweetTooth: Suomi ''loves'' cream puffs.

''Do you know the legend of the diamond dust? They say if you see it with the one you love, the two of you are guaranteed to be happy together.''

All of the girls [[ComingOfAgeStory become stronger and more independent]] through their experiences, which gives the series a very [[{{WAFF}} positive feel]]. If you ever wanted to be clubbed over the head with one {{crowning moment of heartwarming}} after another, this is it. In any case, this show definitely {{needs more love}}.

* BakersDozen

* TearJerker: Akari's story.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: Good grief, where to start...

Atsuko, Karin, Kyoko, Suomi, Shoko and Akari live in different cities on Hokkaido, Japan's northern-most island[[hottip:* : the Japanese [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuril_Islands_dispute claims to the Russian-administered South Kuril Islands]] notwithstanding]]. The girls have very diverging life styles, but they all share the belief in the mythical properties of "diamond dust", which occurs [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_dust when pretty floating ice crystals form in freezing air]].

The anime, also known as ''Kita e ~Diamond Daydreams~'' or ''Kita e ~Diamond Dust Drops~'', was released in 2004 and is loosely based on the ''Kita e'' series of {{visual novel}}s by Red Entertainment. The stories, with little to no overlap between them, [[SliceOfLife depict the girls' moments of happiness and hardship]], mostly regarding feelings of love. In most cases the girls' feelings involve a man, although two stories deal with friendship and family relations.
