* DeathOfPersonality: [[spoiler:This is Robbie's ultimate fate, as he is eventually found to be broken in such a way that fixing him erases his "mind", reducing him to the personality-less toy he originally was. Although there is a HopeSpot at the end of the episode that implies he's OnlyMostlyDead.]]



* DisappearedDad: Tetsunoshin's father is never really referred to in the show, even despite there being an entire episode dedicated to him finding out who his ''mother'' is. It's thought to be [[AvertedTrope averted]] near the end when we're lead to believe that [[spoiler:Neo]] is Tetsunoshin's dad, but in the final episode we finally learn that [[spoiler:Tetsunoshin's father was simply a random no-name poodle]].

* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:Rinia and Iwan both seemingly die during the mission to destroy Neo's KillSat, but turn up alive and well in the finale having hijacked an attack drone to escape.]]



* TheFightingNarcissist: Kaiser ''adores'' himself, singing the praises of his own class, looks, and intelect. So extreme is this trope with him that even as he does battle from inside a giant robot, he sees fit to have the cockpit ''lined'' with mirrors all so he can look at himself at the same time. [[spoiler:Even his eventual fate of being lost in the depths of space doesn't bother him much, since in his own words he deserves to "become a star".]]

** [[spoiler:Neo]] pulls one in the finale, [[spoiler:just soon enough to perform a HeroicSacrifice]].



** [[spoiler:Neo dies by pulling one of these, using the very last of his power to undue his spell on Tokyo and erasing his base in Shirogane, which kills him.]]

* TheMole: Twelve, the mysterious operative of Shirogane who is eventually revealed to have a secret identity within the Hills's Dog Paradise, though in this case we find out Twelve is this ''before'' discovering who it actually is. [[spoiler:Her real identity is Chocolat.]]
* NerdGlasses: Hakase has them, to go along with his GadgeteerGenius look.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In-universe, Tetsunoshin naturally speaks with a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_dialects#Kyushu_Japanese Kyushu]] regional dialect that many characters in the show can identify easily. He actually has to be careful using it when speaking to humans, for fear of giving away who he is and revealing the Hill Dogs' secret.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Chocolat and Neo both go out like this. In Chocolat's case she dies TakingTheBullet for Tetsunoshin from one of Neo's spells, while in Neo's case he uses the last of his power in the finale to undue everything he'd done, killing himself in the process.]]



* RobotDog: Robbie, who was at first a regular toy robot until a bolt of lightning struck both him and Tetsunoshin, imprinting some of the latter's consciousness onto him.



* SatelliteLoveInterest: Chocolat is initially this for Tetsunoshin. For much of the first season, she contributes little else to the plot than being someone for Tetsunoshin to gawk over and occasionally catalyzing a plot point here and there. [[spoiler:Her eventual inclusion into Dog Paradise]] is met with little overall fanfare, even. However, she starts to grow out of this role in the second season, becoming more involved with various plot points and gaining a more developed characterization.

* FinancialAbuse: Many of the Inuyamas' financial choices border on this, at the expense of Mr. Inuyama, the family's breadwinner. Even though everyone else in the family should ''know'' that they can't afford most of the stuff they buy, they continue to do it anyway. The best justification given is that they're just irresponsible and believe in him to handle it, but it really says a lot when one of the first family members to take action about getting them out of debt is their ''dog''.

* LoveRedeems: A minor case. Reika's one real redeeming quality that puts her above her [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt parents]] is that she has a crush on Celebrity Knight, allowing her to a express a kinder side of herself that can't be seen when she's too busy being her usual [[RichBitch Rich]] AlphaBitch self.

Tetsunoshin is the faithful dog of the Inuyama family, who've just moved from rural Japan to the luxurious (and expensive) Hoppongi Hills after Mr. Inuyama's lucrative IT corporation promises to to make the family rich and successful... except, it doesn't. Despite the business's success, the Inuyamas soon find that it isn't enough to support their new lifestyle, forcing them to consider leaving the high life before they've even had a taste of it yet.

** NearlyNormalAnimal: Under ordinary circumstances, they behave largely as normal dogs aside from conversing in AnimalTalk and having a perfect understanding of human language.
** CivilizedAnimal: During any general happenings in Dog Paradise (and occasionally outside of it), they walk on two legs and partake in many human endeavors like watching stocks and going for picnics. However, they still act as dogs, and AnimalTalk is still in effect.
** FunnyAnimal: On rare occasions, such as the soccer episode, the dogs will effectively act human in response to the situation, being fully bipedal and wearing clothes consistently. The only exception to this is that AnimalTalk is ''still'' in effect.

* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: Tetsunoshin's goggles are what allows him to see the hidden portal into Dog Paradise.

* SatelliteLoveInterest: Chocolat is this for Tetsunoshin. She contributes little else to the plot than being someone for Tetsunoshin to gawk over and occasionally catalyzing a plot point here and there.

* CampGay: Gary the pet hairdresser, [[AlwaysCamp naturally]]. The Japanese pronunciation of his name is even a pun on the word "gay", and good ''god'' does he show it.

* CampGay: Gary the pet hairdresser, [[AlwaysCamp naturally]]. The Japanese pronunciation of his name is even a pun on the word "gay", and good ''god'' does he show it. Occasionally it progresses into DepravedHomosexual territory in that the biggest object of his affection [[{{Squick}} is]] [[BestialityIsDepraved Tetsunoshin]].
** Interestingly, the first episode that features Gary has him as a CampStraight instead, but it was only an act.


Added DiffLines:

* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: As seen above, Tetsunoshin wears only a short-sleeved hoodie and goggles. Many other characters qualify as well, being either topless or bottomless. The rest either wear nothing but [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal accessories]] or are [[FullyDressedCartoonAnimal fully clothed]].
* InstantAwesomeJustAddNinjas: Hanzou the ''ninken''.


Added DiffLines:

** Seto is quite infatuated with human women, in particular the famous actress and Pochi's owner Aya. It sometimes crosses over into DirtyOldMan with some of his fantasies about them, including sleeping and ''bathing'' with them...

'''''Wan Wan Celeb Soreyuke! Tetsunoshin''''' is a 2006 anime produced by Creator/AnimalYa. Tetsunoshin is the faithful dog of the Inuyama family, who've just moved from rural Japan to the luxurious (and expensive)Hoppongi Hills after Mr. Inuyama's lucrative IT corporation promises to to make the family rich and successful... except, it doesn't. Despite the business's success, the Inuyamas soon find that it isn't enough to support their new lifestyle, forcing them to consider leaving the high life before they've even had a taste of it yet.

* BalefulPolymorph: Threatened by Seto, most frequently to Tetsunoshin. If he ever reveals the existence of Dog Paradise to humans then Seto will turn him into a monkey.
* BigBrotherWorship: Though they're about the same age and not related, Pochi acts like this towards Tetsunoshin regardless. Among the many nicknames he's given Tetsunoshin, he has the largest tendency to refer to the latter as his big brother, he's always quick to support Tetsunoshin in his pursuits (even if no one else is), and one episode is centered around just how much he depends on Tetsunoshin in order to feel needed.
* CampGay: Gary the pet hairdresser, [[AlwaysCamp naturally]]. The Japanese pronunciation of his name is even a pun on the word "gay", and good ''god'' does he show it.
* DumbMuscle: Iwan. [[BerserkButton Just don't tell him that.]]
* GadgeteerGenius: Hakase.



* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler:Seto]] is revealed to be over 400 years old, [[spoiler:having been the dog of famous 16th-century daimyo.]]
* RichBitch: Shima Kurogane ''and'' her daughter Reika, being respectively the wife and daughter of CorruptCorporateExecutive Taizou Kurogane.

to:

* InterspeciesRomance: Or rather, an interspecies crush. Tetsunoshin makes it evident more than once that his affection for Rumi is more than just the platonic love between a dog and his owner.
** An unintentional one happens between Rasheed and Victoria, who's pretending to be Rasheed's girlfriend so he can keep his father from forcing him into an ArrangedMarriage. They fall in love legitimately, but Rasheed is unaware that Victoria is a dog posing as a human. Even after [[spoiler:Victoria ends the ruse by running away (and turning back into a dog so Rasheed can never find her)]], it's implied that they continue to harbor feelings for each other.
* TheNicknamer: Pochi has a different nickname for Tetsunoshin OnceAnEpisode.
* NoblewomansLaugh: A trademark of the Kuroganes. Or anyone associated with them, really.
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: In-universe, Tetsunoshin naturally speaks with a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_dialects#Kyushu_Japanese Kyushu]] regional dialect that many characters in the show can identify easily. He actually has to be careful using it when speaking to humans, for fear of giving away who he is and revealing the Hill Dogs' secret.
* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler:Seto]] is revealed to be over 400 years old, [[spoiler:having been the dog of a famous 16th-century daimyo.]]
* RichBitch: Shima Kurogane ''and'' her daughter Reika, being respectively the wife and daughter of CorruptCorporateExecutive Taizou Kurogane.Kurogane.
