History YMMV / SkyGirls

* WhatAnIdiot: To summarize the problem, an Indian scientist developed a way to cure cancer and other deadly diseases thanks to nanomachines that became a huge breakthrough. However, [[NewTechnologyIsEvil upon realizing what'll happen in the long term,]] [[AIIsACrapshoot in that of the nanomachines themselves,]] he tries to warn the authorities about his revelations. [[CassandraTruth No one believes him.]] Thanks to it, the nanomachines gained access to the Internet and classified the planet itself as a lifeform. They were then convinced that HumansAreTheRealMonsters thanks to polluting the planet and waging a war of "treating" the Earth. And now we have half the landmass submerged, nuclear weapons that caused [[NightmareFuel whatever kind of damage they did]], and the [=WORMs=] are ''still'' out there.

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: Sky Girls is a future version of ''Anime/StrikeWitches'' meets ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' meets [[Anime/SuperDimensionFortressMacross Variable Fighters]] (minus the GERWALK Mode).

* {{Moe}}: The cute character designs and personalities (GenkiGirl, TeenGenius, archetypal {{Tsundere}} etc) certainly. However the girls also portray {{Badass}}ness much like a YamatoNadeshiko would portray inner iron which in turn makes them even more alluring because they all more or less fill the slot of the ActionGirl and also show how HotBlooded they can be just like proper mecha pilots.

* {{Wangst}}: Hey, it has ''teenagers'', so what do you expect. Never very excessive however.

* BreakawayPopHit: ''Sky Girls'' might've been Konami's attempt to bring the in-house music of their Bemani division to the mainstream. The theme song of the OVA, "Baby's Tears", was used in ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution''.
