History Anime / Gravion

* HeyItsThatVoice: Chief among them: Creator/HikaruMidorikawa, Creator/KenichiSuzumura, Creator/JunFukuyama, YuuAsakawa, HoukoKuwashima, ShowHayami and MichikoNeya among others.

* AscendedFanboy: Sandman might as well be an older [[SuperRobotWars Ryuusei Date]].

* CoolSword: God Gravion has the Graviton Sword in its chestplate, subverted in that while it's used as a finisher the first time, every other Zeravire is basically immune to it and thus it only gets used a small handful of times. It's not even God Gravion's fifth most powerful attack in SuperRobotWars. The White Steel Fang definitely qualifies, though.

* {{Expy}}: Compatible Kaiser and G Compatible Kaiser of the ''[[SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Original Generation]]'' sub-series bears striking similarities and attacks to the God Gravion and Sol Gravion respectively. It helps that Masami Obari, ''Gravion's'' director and character/mecha designer, was tasked by Banpresto to redesign the Kaiser.
** Sandman is like taking [[SuperRobotWars Masaki Andoh, Shu Shirakawa, and Ryusei]] and smashing the result into a single character

* SuperRobotWars: Both seasons debut in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsZ'', with ''Zwei'' returning for the sequel. Also, Obari did the redesign for the Compatible Kaiser in the OriginalGeneration sub-series, and one of the BridgeBunnies makes a cameo in the anime adaptation of the second Original Generation game (also directed by Obari). Eiji and Touga later make cameos piloting the anime-only Sol Gravilion, which is itself an obvious ShoutOut.

* AttractiveBentGender: Eiji and Touga looks pretty good in a dress; Alex unknowingly hits on them - Eiji twice - and the maintenance crew of the [[MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny Minerva]] even [[CrowningMomentOfFunny tries to pick them up]] in SuperRobotWarsZ.

* {{Gainaxing}}: In abundance.

** CulturedBadass: Sandman.

* BoobsOfSteel: The bustiest maid in the series is cookie, who is shown to have super strength and is head of the security division. The bustiest female member of the grand knights, by a wide margin is Mizuki, who is the only female grand knight shown to be proficient in any hand to hand combat. [[spoiler:Justified that she is a spy, used with sneaking around and knocking out guards to get her job done, as shown in her attempts to rescue Luna once she [[BecomingTheMask feels like she belongs more to the Gran Knights]]]]

* SuperPrototype: .Gran Sigma, though the God Gravion itself is a prototype.
* SuperRobotWars: Both seasons debut in ''SuperRobotWarsZ'', with ''Zwei'' returning for the sequel. Also, Obari did the redesign for the Compatible Kaiser in the OriginalGeneration sub-series, and one of the BridgeBunnies makes a cameo in the anime adaptation of the second Original Generation game (also directed by Obari).

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Hugi manages to get multiple hoistings in the same scene: The failsafe device that shuts down the Genocidron System, upon seeing Leele, causes the core of Goma to stop functioning and get destroyed. His RidiculouslyHumanRobot clone of his DeadLittleSister stops him from killing Sandman due to InstantAIJustAddWater, and since he was also plugged into Goma's core it weakens him enough for Sandman to cut him down. Add in the fact he revealed himself the BigBad just to lure Sandman out to fight...]]

* DroppedABridgetOnHim: Drops them on the ''audience'' surprisingly often.

* PigeonholedVoiceActor: Mizuki is a super busty MsFanservice and is a variation of TallDarkAndBishoujo, so it's not surprising that her seiyuu is YuuAsakawa.

'''''Chōjūshin'' (Super-Heavy God) Gravion''' is a 12-episode SuperRobot series directed by Creator/MasamiObari and released in 2002 by {{Gonzo}} (the animation studio, ''not'' the Muppet). Think ''GaoGaiGar'' loaded with [[{{Meido}} maids]] instead of HotBlooded [[{{Transformers}} Autobot]] [[{{Expy}} Expies]].

* [[BigBrotherComplex Big Sister Complex]]: Eiji's search for Ayaka is what brings him to the castle.

* TokenMiniMoe: This series has three of them. Anya is a [[GenkiGirl genki]] CurtainsMatchTheWindow FieryRedhead with GirlishPigtails. Brigitta is just as [[GenkiGirl genki]] and has OdangoHair as well as PurpleEyes. Cecile is a RavenHairIvorySkin beauty, has CurtainsMatchTheWindow black eyes with elegant hair and [[ProperLady acts proper]] if a bit shy. All of them are {{Meido}} in Sandmann's castle. And at least the first two are quite obsessed with Eiji's "physicals". Make of that what you will.

* BottleFairy: Mizuki Tachibana.

* {{Engrish}}: The very first episode features the infamous "Status Clitical" emergency screen.

[[WarWasBeginning The Earth's about to come under attack]] by an alien race called the Zeravire. However, a mysterious billionaire named Klein Sandman has prepared for the invasion with God Gravion, a SuperRobot that uses the power of gravity to fight. The protagonist is Eiji Shigure, a young man who infiltrates Sandman's St. Germain Castle in search of his missing older sister Ayaka, and is recruited as part of the Gran Knights. The story is given a different slant: although Eiji is the main character, he's effectively TheLancer of this particular [[FiveManBand Six Man Band]], piloting the G-Attacker, the God Gravion's right leg, rather than being the main pilot.

* BoobsOfSteel: Mizuki and Cookie. The latter can lift small boulders and carry six people on her back at a full run.
** Lampshaded by Eiji when Mizuki lends him her track jacket and he tugs out the chest, commenting how baggy it is.

* FridgeLogic: ([[spoiler:Hugi having only one control panel and one off-switch for the Genocidron System, as well as not just broadcasting pictures of his neice Leele Zeravire to them all, which is said to cause them to shut down automatically]].
** Most likely justified: He's BrainwashedAndCrazy.
** [[spoiler:When Ayaka dons the Raven mask, her boobs ''shrink'' for no reason. While it does cover the fact she's a woman, maybe it's due to FormFittingWardrobe, but is there ever ''any'' explanation about ''why'' her boobs suddenly burst out when she removes the mask? And she wasn't even doing anything to get any concealments off, either...]]
*** [[spoiler: It's the mask. The picture of the previous Raven (Luna's father) looks exactly like the current Raven (Ayaka). The mask also changes the wearer's voice. Safe to say the mask would be able to alter her bust size if it can alter her hair, voice, and musculature.]]

* HoYay: Eiji and Touga, mostly because Touga doesn't quite get the intricacies of human relationships.
** LesYay: Heavily implied with Ayaka and Mizuki, to the point where the latter is shown getting completely wasted over her missing 'friend.'

* {{Unfunny}}: Raven.

* IAmHeroHearMeRoar: Sandman [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat always wanted to do it once]]: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNZfFT6qklM&feature=related&fmt=18 He gets to]].
