History Manga / AkazukinChacha

* HumongousMecha: NYANDEBER Z!

* HurricaneOfPuns: This makes the series impossible to dub in a way that makes sense. Chacha is a CuteWitch who mixes up her spells. For example, trying to summon Riiya but getting an old man (''jiiya'') instead or trying to turn dandelions into clouds (''kumo'') but instead making them turn into spiders (''kumo'').

* CurbstompBattle: Shiine vs Umibozou the sea giant.

* FollowTheLeader: In the manga, which came out a year before ''Manga/SailorMoon'', Chacha is a fairly standard CuteWitch. In the anime, which came out two years after ''Anime/SailorMoon'', she's been given a blinged-out TransformationTrinket and a sparkly StockFootage-tastic TransformationSequence that briefly turns her into a textbook MagicalGirlWarrior so she can take down the MonsterOfTheWeek. The MagicalGirlWarrior sections come and go so quickly and feel so incongruent when compared with the [[WizardingSchool rest of the show]] that one can only assume the producers added this aspect to cash in on the recent success of Miss Moon.

* HurricaneOfPuns

* RememberTheNewGuy: Orin the pink ninja girl? Yeah, she's been in class with the rest the whole time. She's just been clinging to the ceiling.
** She's more of an AscendedExtra. She is first seen in episode 7.

* ShoutOut: Riiya did the Franchise/KamenRider pose when he transformed for the first time.

* StalkerWithACrush: In its purest form, Seravy ''constantly'', and rather disturbingly, with his unhealthy fixation on blonde Dorothy, to the point where he makes multiple efforts to magically sabotage her hair and deliberately provokes fights with her over something that happened some fifteen years before the series began. The fact that, as a grown man, he's deeply attached to and constantly carries ''a doll of young Dorothy''. Which he diligently voices via ventriloquism.

* TransformationSequence: One that gets longer and longer as the series goes on.
** Worse, it's never shortened at any point; the entire sequence always played out in full, and it only got longer as her arsenal expanded. And in spite of the show's comedic nature, it's hardly ever parodied; the anime just played its MagicalGirl tropes way too straight...

* VitrolicBestBuds: Shiine and Riiya regard each other as rivals over Chacha's affection and won't hesitate to put each other down, but they do consider each other friends. Yakko and Marine are only friends because of their mutual hatred for Chacha, otherwise they don't get along.

* {{Yandere}}: Yakko is the harmless variety. Marin's suitor George, when he got mind-controlled; and his sister, Shelly (on behalf of her brother whom she felt sorry for), until he reprimanded her and made her stop.

* CuteLittleFangs: Riiya

* TriangRelations: Marin likes Riiya (but hates his wolf-form, which she doesn't realize is him) and Orin likes Shiine, but Shiine and Riiya both like Chacha, who seems oblivious (she is attached to Riiya's wolf=form though). Kyle likes Yakko, but Yakko -- and Shironeko and Doris -- likes Seravy, who is too busy having BelligerentSexualTension with Dorothy. Access courted Dorothy for a time until he left the kingdom, and Poppy had a crush on her.

* TheAce: Seravy
* ActionGirl: Orin

* FaceOfAThug: Rascal-sensei

* TheUnreveal: After the three-legged race in Episode 63, Principal Urara mentioned that [[spoiler: Chacha and Barabaraman's win]] was so memorable, she claimed she could still see the result with her eyes closed. Just as she is about to turn, her eyes - which were never shown to blink at any time in the series - are covered by Piisuke, who was conveniently flying in front of her.

* ActionGirl: Orin'

* ThoseTwoGuys (and that one girl): Cheetah the caveboy, Osu the boy with the really big head and Mary the conjurer.

* FollowTheLeader: In the manga, which came out a year before ''Manga/SailorMoon'', Chacha is a fairly standard CuteWitch. In the anime, which came out two years after ''Manga/SailorMoon'', she's been given a blinged-out TransformationTrinket and a sparkly StockFootage-tastic TransformationSequence that briefly turns her into a textbook MagicalGirlWarrior so she can take down the MonsterOfTheWeek. The MagicalGirlWarrior sections come and go so quickly and feel so incongruent when compared with the [[WizardingSchool rest of the show]] that one can only assume the producers added this aspect to cash in on the recent success of Miss Moon.

Chacha is an orphaned girl who lives with Seravy-- the World's Greatest Magician-- at the top of Mochi Mochi mountain. Seravy tried to teach Chacha magic, but her spells [[IneptMage always go awry]]. When Chacha goes to the magic school, she meets Shiine (pronounce it She-neh), another apprentice magican, and Riiya the wolfboy. When the three are together, Chacha can transform into "Magical Princess" in order to fight the minions of the Great Devil King.

* PaperThinDisguise: Seravy (and Dorothy on occassion).

* TriangRelations: Marin likes Riiya (but hates his wolfform, which she doesn't realize is him) and Orin likes Shiine, but Shiine and Riiya both like Chacha, who seems oblivious (she is attached to Riiya's wolfform though). Kyle likes Yakko, but Yakko -- and Shironeko and Doris -- likes Seravy, who is too busy having BelligerentSexualTension with Dorothy. Access courted Dorothy for a time until he left the kingdom, and Poppy had a crush on her.

[[caption-width-right:242:Like Literature/HarryPotter, minus the {{Wangst}}]]

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Riiya comes from a family of them. He tries to invoke being a BigBadassWolf, but as you can see from the picture above, [[PreciousPuppies it doesn't quite take]].

* FollowTheLeader: In the manga, which came out a year before ''SailorMoon'', Chacha is a fairly standard CuteWitch. In the anime, which came out two years after ''SailorMoon'', she's been given a blinged-out TransformationTrinket and a sparkly StockFootage-tastic TransformationSequence that briefly turns her into a textbook MagicalGirlWarrior so she can take down the MonsterOfTheWeek. The MagicalGirlWarrior sections come and go so quickly and feel so incongruent when compared with the [[WizardingSchool rest of the show]] that one can only assume the producers added this aspect to cash in on the recent success of Miss Moon.

* TheArcher: Chacha as Magical Princess uses a magic bow-and-arrow.

* TriangRelations: Marin likes Riiya (but hates his wolfform, which she doesn't realize is him) and Orin likes Shiine, but Shiine and Riiya both like Chacha, who seems oblivious (she is attached to Riiya's wolfform though). Kyle likes Yakko, but Yakko -- and Shironeko and Doris -- likes Seravy, who is too busy having BelligerentSexualTension with Dorothy. Access courted Dorothy for a time until his wife returned to life.

* StalkerWithACrush: In its purest form, Seravy ''constantly'', and rather disturbingly, with his unhealthy fixation on blonde Dorothy, to the point where he makes multiple efforts to magically sabotage her hair and deliberately provokes fights with her over something that happened some fifteen years before the series began. The fact that, as a grown man, he's deeply attached to and constantly carries ''a doll of young Dorothy''. Which he constantly ''[[Ventriloquism voices]]''.

* StalkerWithACrush: ''Everybody'' in the cast who's in love with somebody does this at some point, but more often than not the female, rather than the male, members of the cast.

* ShoutOut: Riiya did the KamenRider pose when he transformed for the first time.
