Go To

  • Anvilicious: Medlock's death. Never forget, kids, the minute you show self-preservatio— cowardice, you will immediately be killed gruesomely and no-one will even seem to notice or care that you're gone!
  • Bizarro Episode: Episode seven, which existed only for fanservice.
  • Fan Nickname:
    • Dollmily and Emiloli to distinguish the Emilies was common in 2006 when it aired, less so now.
    • Loli — Lottie, because she's a head shorter and two cups flatter than the rest of her age-cohorts.
    • The Animesuki forums called Isabella's (later Mariette's) Girl Posse "The Bitch Brigade".
  • Les Yay: Lavinia, Jessie, even Sara and Lottie to an extent.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Ralph Werec is the brother of heroine Sara Werec and second-in-command to Captain Vivian Medlock. After discovering that the Union was carrying out horrific experiments on the alien Emilies, a disillusioned Ralph defected from the Union to the Deague, and begins by leading an attack on a Union academy and killing everyone inside. Fighting against his revenge-seeking sister Sara, Ralph leads the Deague in fighting the Union and shows himself to be their greatest threat. Feigning loyalty to the Deague and seducing Vivian to get her and her soldiers on his side, he eventually reveals that he was using them all and betrays Vivian, hijacking the security system to kill her. Revealing that he despises both sides of the war and considers them equally corrupt, Ralph carries out his plan to Kill All Humans as revenge for their sins. Yet, despite opposing her, he loves Sara and explains his motivation to her in hopes that she will join him; when she refuses and defeats him in the final battle, he accepts that he went too far and gives her a tearful, heartfelt goodbye.
  • Moe: See the intended audience.
  • Moral Event Horizon: While we don't get to see exactly what Ralph did prior to this, his attack on the school in the first episode, and Sara seeing he was responsible for the deaths of her friends and classmates, qualifies.
