History Anime / NajicaBlitzTactics

* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Although one of them is technically not a girl.

** Lila, on the other hand, develops away from an obedient, barely self-preserving automaton with the mindset of an 8 year old to a young woman who can not only decide things for herself, but also questions Najica and the world around her, going as far as [[spoiler:adopting the only male humarit, Alpha. She also semi-openly challenging Najica to a duel about his caretaking and thus her own future.]]

* NonIndicativeFirstEpisode: The first episode has plenty of lesbian behavior, which implies that more of it might be seen in the future, especially between the two protagonists. It doesn't really happen.

* OddFriendship

Najica's latest assignment is to rescue a kidnapped girl, Lila, who turns out to be Humarit ZZZ (a humaritt is a highly advanced [[ArtificialHuman android]]). After the mission, Najica is assigned to be Lila's master and to bring her along on future missions, a task which she grudgingly accepts. Lila not only turns out to be a very formidable partner during her missions, but Najica gradually warms up to her personally as well.

If that sounds to you like one seriously two-faced show, you're right. The 2001 series ''Najica Blitz Tactics'' is a {{panty shot}} parade, in which no opportunity is spared to show women's (usually white) undergarments--which also means that no woman wears any pants ever and miniskirts are considered appropriate mission attire.

A three-volume manga cuts the PantyShot amount by about 90%, as it's quite more action-oriented, ignoring Najica's CharacterDevelopment in the process.

* ArtificialHuman: Lila [[spoiler:and later others]].
* AuthorAppeal: Katsuhiko Nishijima likes {{panty shot}}s, okay?

* BeachEpisode: Sort of, it's still a mission but features the protagonists in some very revealing swimwear for most of it.
* BetweenMyLegs: Being the PantyFighter that it is, this show has several of these to make the PantyShot easier on skirted characters.

%% * BleachedUnderpants: in spite of the heavy flashing of the same. The art style is almost identical to the late 1990s {{Hentai}} ''Desert Island Story'' (maybe that's why the ones here are so white!)
* BlingBlingBang: Dr Ren and XXX [[spoiler: actually the same person]] have a pair of gold plated P-38
* CharacterDevelopment: An amazing lot, in fact, mainly for Lila.
** Najica starts out hating to play caretaker for Lila, putting blame on her for everything she does wrong (it's not like she could help it), but later starts to genuinely care about her and in the end [[spoiler:releases her to go her own way with Alpha]]. However, on the way to that, she became routinous and at times less human than the various androids.
** Lila, on the other hand, develops away from an obedient, barely self-preserving automaton with the mind of at best an 8 year old to a young woman who can not only decide things for herself, but also questions Najica and the world around her, going as far as [[spoiler:adopting the only male humarit, Alpha and also semi-openly challenging Najica to a duel about his caretaking and thus her own future]].

* ColdSniper: The assassin in the second episode is packing an [[{{BFG}} antimateriel sniper rifle]], [[spoiler:turns out there are two of them]].

* DoAndroidsDream: One of the central questions Lila has about herself is how much she is machine and how much she is a living, emotional being (at one point she actually says "Lila is a human"). Similarily Najica often wonders if her treatment of Lila is always the right thing.

* HandCannon: Lila's standard gun is almost as big as her lower arm!

* LittleMissBadass: Lila of course.
* {{Lolicon}}: While Lila looks like 16 or so, she is mentally 8 at best at the series beginning and her literal age is only 2 or so. Najica also comments how the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Bad Guy of the Week]] of Episode 3 obviously has a hang for young girls.

* NonIndicativeFirstEpisode: The first episode has plenty of lesbian behaviour, implying we might see more in future, especially between the two protagonists. We didn't, really. (Also, it's one of the two Najica solo missions.)

* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: The Humaritts.
* RobotGirl: The Humaritts. [[spoiler: Except Alpha]].

* SupremeChef: Lila, as a part of her programming are exceptional cooking skills.
* TaremeEyes: Lila. This also differs her from most humaritts.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Lila does this a lot (since androids are expected to do this). One notable sign where she shows CharacterDevelopment has her *not* doing this at first, before correcting herself.
* TsurimeEyes: Najica and most of the seen humaritts and other secondary characters.
* [[spoiler:TomatoInTheMirror: Dr. Ren is actually X with a split personality! Dr. Ren as a person probably never existed in the first place.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: Lila and other humarits, after all they are androids.

* RefugeInAudacity: See above. The special-edition DVD actually ''comes with panties''.

* RoseHairedGirl: Lila.

* AnimeFirst

* BleachedUnderpants: in spite of the heavy flashing of the same. The art style is almost identical to the late 1990s {{Hentai}} ''Desert Island Story'' (maybe that's why the ones here are so white!)

* LovelyAngels

* NonLethal

* EyesOfGold: Lila. Unlike everyone else, her pupils also have a very slight cross form.

* LesYay: Between the leads. Also, [[spoiler:in the beginning Lila is about to be used as a sex toy for her female captor]], and the girls Najica work with have huge [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer girl-crushes]] on her, as does her client in one episode.
** The aforementioned female captor rather obviously had her numerous maids double not only as bodyguards, but also private harem. There's French kissing involved.

* NonIndicativeFirstEpisode: The first episode has plenty of lesbian behaviour, implying we might see more in future, especially between the two protagonists. [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Unfortunately, we didn't.]] (Also, it's one of the two Najica solo missions.)

* TwelveEpisodeAnime

''Najica'' is directed by Katsuhiko Nishijima and produced by Studio Fantasia, who were also responsible for ''AgentAika''.

* ActionGirl

* {{Lolicon}}: While Lila looks like 16 or so, she is mentally 8 at best at the series beginning and her literal age is only 2 or so. Najica also comments how the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Bad Guy of the Week]] obviously has a hang for young girls.

* {{Fanservice}}: [[BlatantLies Only some]].

* NonIndicativeFirstEpisode: The first episode has plenty of lesbian behaviour, implying we might see more in future, especially between the two protagonists. [[GirlOnGirlIsHot Unfortunately, we didn't.]] (Also, it's the only Najica solo mission.)

* {{Tareme Eyes}}: Lila. This also differs her from most humaritts.
* {{Tsurime Eyes}}: Najica and most of the seen humaritts and other secondary characters.

At the same time, ''Najica Blitz Tactics'' is also an entertaining JamesBond-style action show with a surprisingly deep storyline.

Despite the in-your-face {{fanservice}}, the show still manages to tell a compelling story about two personalities that become ever closer despite their differences and reservations. It also raises some interesting questions about human nature and the meaning of love, which actually puts it on the same playing field as shows like ''{{Noir}}'' and ''ElCazadorDeLaBruja''. Of course, the onslaught of white-pantied crotches and buttocks makes it difficult to wax philosophic, but some may argue that this is the charm of the whole show.

''Najica'' is directed by Katsuhiko Nishijima and produced by Studio Fantasia, who were also responsible for ''AgentAika''. For lovers of unrepentant fanservice-y {{panty fighter}} action, this series can be quite an amusing romp through Nishijima's twisted mindset, and its jazzy soundtrack complements the [[SpyFiction spy action]]-vibe perfectly.
