* HeyItsThatVoice: VicMignogna (better known to some as Edward from Manga/FullmetalAlchemist) plays one of the wolf hunters in Season 2 Episode 7.
** [[spoiler:CrossDressingVoices: It turns out that said wolf hunters were ''female elves''. Who got stripped.]]
** Celcia is quickly recognized this when she gets on a rant, as she's voice by the rant-tastic Jessica Calvello, who famously had to quit playing the title role on ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' halfway through due to a vocal injury.

** Played very straight in the christmas episode. Junpei kicks Satan up a chimmeny when he offers the group [[DealWithTheDevil a deal]].

* {{Dracolich}}: There is one Dracolich in episode 3

* IHaveTheHighGround: Judge again. He seems to enjoy pretending to be [[SailorMoon Tuxedo Mask]].

** They've tried. It didn't work.

The three characters in question are Junpei (a [[IdiotHero thick-headed martial artist]]), Ritsuko (a {{tomboy}} and [[GunNut gun enthusiast]]) and Airi (an award-winning [[ManipulativeBastard actress]]). They've been accidentally transported from Japan to a HighFantasy [[AlternateUniverse parallel world]], and when the spell to send them back home is interrupted, the magic goes berserk and manifests itself as five arcane sigils tattooed onto five elves across the land.

Three unlike characters: Junpei (a [[IdiotHero thick-headed martial artist]]), Ritsuko (a {{tomboy}} and gun {{Otaku}}) and Airi (an award winning [[ManipulativeBastard actress]]) are transported from their homes in Japan to a HighFantasy [[AlternateUniverse parallel world]]. Enlisting the aid of Celcia, the most powerful elven sorceress in the land, they try-- [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption and fail]] --to cast a spell that will return them home. The result? The spell is made manifest as fragments on the bodies of five elven women throughout the land and Celcia gets turned to a dog-like creature. To return home and return Celcia to her old-self, the four have to [[GottaCatchEmAll collect the fragments of the spell]] and join them into a working spell.

The catch? They don't know precisely which female elves have fragments of the spell on them. The solution?

[[{{Fanservice}} Find every elf woman in the land and rip off their clothes]].

That's basically it. Their search for the spell fragments takes them across a strange fantasy land, where they earn renown for their amazing accomplishments as well as a healthy dose of infamy for their indecent behavior toward the land's elven women.

Have in mind that it has a great script, excellent character design and not as much senseless {{fanservice}} as the plot seems to imply.

They also have a [[TankGoodness tank]].

They also have a [[TankGoodness tank]] which eventually [[spoiler: gets possessed by the spirit of a Cat called Mihke. It behaves exactly like any cat would, except it has all the firepower from a Tank. MegaNeko in it [[WidgetSeries weirdest incarnation]].]]

[[caption-width-right:350:From left to right: Celcia old-self, Celcia current-self, Airi, Junpei and Ritsuko. (Mihke is missing)]]

* TeamPet: Celcia, for most of the series.
* ThisIsMyBoomstick: As this world does not have any equivalent to firearms and tanks, the average citizen or villain tends to assume that these weapons are magical.

* MagicMisfire: Celcia disguises herself as a doglike creature to try to help them find the spell fragments without being recognized. However, when they find the first fragment and she transfers it to herself, it causes[[spoiler: ShapeshifterModeLock until they have all the fragments. Her increasingly ridiculous appearance as the spell fragments transfer to her become a RunningGag.]]

* MirrorMatch: Used by judge to weaken the heroes to arrest them.

* TheNudifier: the potion which will make any elf naked.

* ShapeshifterModeLock: more details below, under Voluntary Shapeshifting.

The catch? They don't know precisely which female elves have fragments of the spell on them. The solution?

* {{Can Not Spit It Out}}: Seriously, people. "Hey, my friends and I are looking for the fragments of a very powerful and important spell that has imprinted on five random elf women. You don't happen to have any odd marks that popped up recently, do you?" IS THAT REALLY SO HARD?!

**

--->'''Junpei:''' "This is why I hate fantasy stories!"

* CurbStompBattle: The fighting in this series pitch the residents of a typical high fantasy setting against a second generation main battle tank.

* MasterOfDisguise: Airi, justified in that she is an [[MasterActor award-winning actress]].

** A certain [[{{Discworld}} landmass]] supported on the back of four elephants and a turtle appears often.

* SpannerInTheWorks: The elf hunters become this when an evil sorceress holds the entire world hostage as her magic, which can burn anyone at whim, does not work on those from the outside world.

** To be fair, [[spoiler:it was mostly Junpei's fault. The idiot got the wrong impression that Celcia needed to be naked to complete the spell, and Celcia made it damn clear that she needed silence so she could get as much concentration as possible on the spell.]]
*** Then one has to wonder why her stupid old guards/men/whatever they are were hanging about. She pretty much only needed Ritsuko, Junpei, and Airi there, right? Though Junpei probably would have messed it up regardless.

** To be fair, when they do ask for permission the elves usually refuse. I mean, would you want to strip for a random stranger with a crazy story? It also doesn't help that Junpei usually comes off as a pervert when he asks elves if they will take off their clothes in front of him.

Have in mind that it's actually BetterThanItSounds, with a great script, excellent characters design and not as many senseless FanService as the plot seems to imply.

** In Episode 1 Airi disguised as an Elf, gives a Cutey Honey Speech and even coins the phrase Lovely Warrior.

** Averted in the manga.
