Fafner is a 26-episode long anime produced by Xebec and directed by Nobuyoshi Habara about a lone island, Tatsumiyajima, in a world where aliens called Festum have invaded and subsequently wrecked much of the human population. Major cities and/or countries are gone (naturally, Japan is included), but Tatsumiyajima is left alone... that is, until the Festum come back once more. There're no worries, however; the show's gigantic machines, the Fafners, are more than adequate to kick some golden butt.Throughout the series, the Fafners' pilots, which are revealed to be specific children on the island, are introduced to aid the protagonist in combat; some blow up, get scrapped, or become inducted into the team. Then the island accidentally makes contact with the U.N., who more or less blackmails them into joining the big war against the Festum (and mainly because the U.N.'s own machines suck to the nth degree).Fans of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED might note the similar character designs; after all, they share the same designer in that aspect. The Humongous Mecha of the series, however, are anything but Gundam-like, and are more akin to Evangelion. Indeed, the storyline and all material contained in the series itself can be called as such, although their usage, looks, and overall plot point differ by varying degrees.It also had a 50-minute TV special made for it. Fafner: Right of Left tells the story of how Tatsumiyajima narrowly avoided all-out war with the Festum even before the series began, by splitting off a section of the island as a decoy (with people left behind to steer it around, no less), arming them with cool-looking prototypes and the prototypes of the kids in the main series (all the widdle children around are like that), and generally telling them that their mission, more or less, is one of duty-bound suicide. Expect less of the main series' bittersweet ending than flat-out slaughter... regrettably, not all of the Festum's fault alone.A theatrical film, Heaven And Earth, premiered on December 25, 2010 and a second season was confirmed under the name Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor: Exodus taking place two years after Heaven and Earth. Its first half aired in January of 2015, with the second half airing in October of 2015.In January 2017 yet another sequel, The Beyond (taking place after Exodus) was announced. It is a 12 episode anime, though somewhat unique in that rather than airing weekly, the series instead airs 3 episodes all at once in theaters. The first part aired on May 21, 2019. The second and third quarters were respectively aired on November 21, 2019, and November 13, 2020. The last 3 episodes aired on November 5, 2021. On a somber note, this ended up being Xebec's final work before IG Port shuttered it in May 2019.A one episode Spin-Off, Behind the Line, premiered on January 20, 2023. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: Starts early and is maintained throughout the TV series with notable exceptions (Kazuki, Fumihiko, and Soushi (who would have been Deader than Dead in another series) have Contractual Immortality. Soushi's expires in the last episode...kind of.) It is taken to an extreme in Right of Left in which every pilot does indeed die. And in The Movie, this is surprisingly subverted. Nobody dies at all, and even more surprisingly, Soushi comes back and Sakura recovers enough to pilot a Fafner again. One could even say Kouyo came back in a way, or at the very least his Fafner did with him as the core. This trope is in full swing for Exodus and The Beyond. | |

| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_171ef47c | comment |
Not-So-Harmless Villain: Exodus reveals that the previously thought to be harmless Gremory-Type Festum are fully capable of assimilating people and acting as a spy, with it being implied that the Gremorys are the ones helping the villainous Festum that serve the Azazel-Types. In the end, they were part of the Sea Mir which is just pretending to help New U.N. for spying on others, while waiting chances for revenge. | |

Same could be said about "Mark Nicht" which sounds a lot like "mag nicht", the way a child would say "don't wanna". Considering Mark Nicht is basically sentient and extremely moody and bratty to boot its actually a bit of a Stealth Pun. | |

He Who Fights Monsters | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_2c1f1138 | comment |
He Who Fights Monsters: Interestingly, played in reverse. The more the Festum come in contact with humans, the more they become like us and create a sense of self and become individuals. The "monster" section comes from the fact that now that some of the Festum can think for themselves, they've gone from Blue-and-Orange Morality aliens to having a faction that is outright malevolent and destructive towards humanity, going so far as to strongarm less violent Festum into fighting on their side against humans. So in essence, it's a form of Humans Are Bastards when the ones looking at us end up adopting only our negative traits. | |

Evolving Credits | |

Evolving Credits: The second ending of Exodus. While the first time it appears there's only Kazuki and Soushi, sporting BadassLongcoats, by the next episode, following his return, Kouyo is with them. Of course, he gets a coat too. In the following episode, the second opening is updated: the shot of the Nicht in between the shot of the Dreizehn and the dual shot of the Sein and Nicht is replaced by a shot of the Einherjar-model Mark Vier. And in episode 8 Misao joins the Badass Longcoat crew, fitting right in with the other three. | |

Gratuitous German | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_35fb9016 | comment |
Gratuitous German: Perhaps not completely gratuitous given that "Fafner" is a concept taken from Germanic mythology but it is somewhat odd that the units themselves should have German numerals (Elf, Zwei, etc. Not to mention "Mark Sein"). The way "Mark Sein" is spelled can even lead to a small translation joke since it sounds a lot like the german phrase "mag sein" which means "could be". Same could be said about "Mark Nicht" which sounds a lot like "mag nicht", the way a child would say "don't wanna". Considering Mark Nicht is basically sentient and extremely moody and bratty to boot its actually a bit of a Stealth Pun. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death is Cheap: Surprisingly for such a sad anime, but when the Mir core decides to go all-out, death seems to mean nothing to them. Seri was pretty convincingly killed in episode 7 of Exodus, but is up and running right in the next one. Then Yumiko gets crushed by a building in episode 8, with just her hand sticking out from the rubble and Miwa desperately trying to reach for it… and then she's right in the next scene like this never happened. That said, it's debatable that if Seri and Yumiko are humans anymore after they got revived. Additionally, death is apparently always final even if it's delayed. Yumiko is indeed dead and disappears when Miwa accepts this at the end. Same with Emery. | |

Power of the Void | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_3b78896e | comment |
Power of the Void: Festum and Mark Nicht's entire shtick with the Worm Spheres. Anything that comes in contact with these things gets erased from existence (referred to as killed for simplicity). In fact, their ultimate goal is to return the universe to nothingness, a power only they possess until others learn to utilise it. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: The novel. It is a retelling of the first six episodes but with some drastic changes to both story, character interactions/relationships and even lore. For example, Soushi and Toomi don't get along at all, Soushi's overall personality is fleshed out, Kazuki is with Kuramae upon her death, Koyo is known as "the friend killer" for killing almost all assimilated pilots and the overall number of pilots is increased by at least a dozen. And that's only a few of the changes. Ubukata himself calls the book and first season two sides of the same coin. | |

Love Dodecahedron | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_4523420b | comment |
Love Dodecahedron: Akira and Rina (in the movie) like Maya, who has a thing for Kazuki, who is also liked by Shouko and Canon. Shouko herself is Kouyo's object of admiration. Meanwhile, Kazuki doesn't seem too interested in having a romantic relationship with any of the girls and is suspiciously focused on his best friend Soushi to a point that Maya lampshades this several times in Universe. Sakura and Kenji have a thing, but Kenji is (as of Exodus) also liked by Rina who is in turned liked by Sui. Reo likes Mimika, who really admires Hiroto who is implied to have a thing for Seri who does seem to reciprocate but also harbors very deep feelings for Tsubaki. | |

Ace Custom: Arguably all of the Nothung models, since each one is customised for a particular role and each pilot is assigned to the one they are judged to be a good match for. Subverted in the case of the Megatherion and Babylon, which are not so special when one considers how powerful Fafners are supposed to be. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: The OVA stands out as the prime example of this in the franchise, with every character introduced in it dying and not having a whole lot to show for it. Exodus has this to a less extent, with Emery disappearing into Ashoka, Miwa finally accepting her mother's death, and Seri entering a kind of suspended animation along with Altair and Alvis. Orihime also reincarnates, along with Soushi. Really, the only good thing to come out of it is the rebellion of a few elements of the Neo U.N. and the fact that Altair isn't currently hostile to humanity. | |

| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_4efc4fae | comment |
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Soushi has a scar on his left eye. Which is actually plot relevant when they were both children his best friend Kazuki had to claw at said eye to keep Soushi from being assimilated by the Festum. As a result there is a lot of bad blood between the two since Soushi cannot pilot Fafner due to the injury and Kazuki is in a state of self denial mixed with guilt over the whole issue. | |

What Is This Thing You Call "Love"? | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_5028baf2 | comment |
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Festum have no concept of emotions so they learn by assimilating humans. Idun learned how to hate and represents the will of the Festum to destroy humanity. Mjolnia learned through Akane's desire to co-exist with Festum and so works to achieve that. On a smaller scale, Tsubaki teaches them about the nature of life and death while Soushi teaches them about pain and the endurance thereof (determination basically). | |

Latex Space Suit | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_527fbbe6 | comment |
Latex Space Suit: With a few twists. The suits that the pilots wear - call synergetic suits - are skin tight and serve to avoid some of the pain that linking with the Fafner entails. They also leave the parts of the body where the Fafner connects exposed, which makes them rather skimpy (though surprisingly for anime this is not used for blatant fanservice). Kazuki has no time to put on a suit upon piloting for the time and, aside from ruining his clothes, the pain he undergoes is substantial. | |

Book Ends: Exodus begins with Soushi talking about how "by the time you listen to this, I will no longer be in this world." halfway through the penultimate episode of Exodus, just before the Fourth Azure Sky Plan, he records the message. | |

Synchronization | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_539179db | comment |
Synchronization: Between the pilots and their Fafner. Piloting one alters a pilots psyche and physical awareness to unite with the unit itself for optimal fighting. The drawbacks are that doing so activated the Festum Factor in the pilots bodies, causing Fafner to slowly assimilate them, and every damage is transmitted as actual physical pain. The latter can be minimized through the Siegfried System activating pain blocks. There is also another form called Crossing, which works through and connects the pilots with the Siegfried System. This again has a couple of drawbacks. For one, the System cannot work without an operator (namely Soushi) to run it, Soushi will feel any and all pain the pilots do (sometimes even after the fight) and communication is only possible between operator and pilot, not between the pilots themselves. In the finale, with Soushi and thus the operator gone, the system is modified to allow all pilots to cross with each other. This again has its drawbacks, in that they all feel each other's pain and if one dies the entire system crashes. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: The drama created by the show's Love Dodecahedron is balanced out by most characters taking this attitude. No less than three girls (Shouko, Maya, and Canon) have felt some form of this trope towards Kazuki, and every member of the Kazuki/Maya/Soushi team of three can be said to feel some form of this towards the other two (though which feelings are romantic and which are platonic is a matter of personal interpretation). | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: At the end of Exodus, Tatsumiyajima is sunk together with Altair and a frozen Seri, the refugees of Tatsumiyajima move to Watatsumijima with the intention of raising and returning to their island once they are ready to deal with Altair and Kazuki raises a reborn Soushi. With these unresolved plot lines, it made sense that The Beyond would be made to presumably wrap them up. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_6439de78 | comment |
The eighth episode of Exodus Second Season takes this even further. It starts very light hearted with Kazuki's birthday and everyone being happy for the first time in a while and concludes with most of the refugees dying of cold and starvation or assimilation in case of pilots because the blockers ran out, the human army and Crawler showing up out of nowhere, Mitsuhiro shooting Ai under the influence of assimilation, Walter pulling an Heroic Sacrifice to save Akira, Kazuki losing an arm, and Soushi starting to get assimilated again. Fan reactions boiled down to "What the fuck just happened!" | |

Shouko dies after her Fafner has soared into the air, Sakura mentally crashes as the blossoms fall around her, and Mamorou dies protecting everyone. | |

Animation Bump: While the first series has average quality, the animation got an upgrade in Right of Left prequel, but it gets really good in Heaven and Earth and Exodus. Exodus has an overall great animation, but the first fifteen minutes of episode one's extended cut is just simply breathtaking, it must be seen to be believed. | |

Psychic Powers | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_874176be | comment |
Psychic Powers: The Festum have the power to read minds, which is why the humans are having such a hard time fighting them. Turns out to not be very helpful early on though. Since the idea of minds that aren't psychically linked is alien to the Festum, they have no idea what they hell we're saying half of the time we they read our minds, so they just used it to dodge attacks and locate us. Later on in the series the constant exposure to our minds continuously makes them smarter, and by the time of the movie they understand the idea of tactics and how to properly fight a war. In essence, they learned from us because of their powers. | |

Designer Babies: It is eventually revealed that all the children were conceived through artificial means, and probably all had their genome tuned for the express purpose of piloting Fafners. Part of the reason why the adults are so focused on still giving them a family and a sense of peace and normalcy is so they can deal with this burden and have something to fight for. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: The franchise eats this trope for breakfast, but the most prominent one is Episode 6 of the original, where Shouko sacrificed herself to protect Tatsumiyajima to show that, yes, this is NOT a light-hearted Mecha Anime. And things just escalated from there. The first episode of Exodus Second Season ended in the most brutal way possible. No one expected Hiroto died in the first episode, let alone by Unfriendly Fire. The eighth episode of Exodus Second Season takes this even further. It starts very light hearted with Kazuki's birthday and everyone being happy for the first time in a while and concludes with most of the refugees dying of cold and starvation or assimilation in case of pilots because the blockers ran out, the human army and Crawler showing up out of nowhere, Mitsuhiro shooting Ai under the influence of assimilation, Walter pulling an Heroic Sacrifice to save Akira, Kazuki losing an arm, and Soushi starting to get assimilated again. Fan reactions boiled down to "What the fuck just happened!" Exodus S2E9 is this in its pure form. It begins with Kurusu, his Mir and the Eurus-type Festum reappearing, but ends with Jonathan's mind being erased, Maya captured by the Neo U.N., Jonathan becomeing a Festum not unlike Idun etc. Actually, the real Wham for this episode is that it revealed that New U.N. is controlling one of the original Mir, which explains a lot of things along the line. | |

There Are No Therapists: Played straight, but surprising considering the nature of the plot most of the characters are in good mental health and have only minor mental problems, if any at all. Kazuki's the only one that has it bad here, as he and his mental well being are shown to be very dependent on Soushi. When Soushi is presumably killed by Festum he turns into a full blown Death Seeker until it's revealed that Soushi is alive. A therapist might have been good for him then. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_a435b45e | comment |
Bitter Sweet Ending: Barring the prequel, this is the norm for how the franchise ends a given entry: In the original series, we are told that those who are assimilated may one day return, but we do not quite get to see that happening. Also, after the final battle, Kazuki is left blind. In the movie, Soushi and Kazuki are finally reunited, and Kazuki is no longer blind, but the assimilation phenomenon is still affecting him to the point where he doesn't have long to live. For Exodus, the show ends on the most bittersweet note in the franchise, Soushi is Killed Off for Real this time, Tatsumiya island is submerged with Orihime and Kiyome sacrificing themselves to do so, Seri being put into a Deep Sleep, Yumiko and Emery were Dead All Along and fade away right in front of Miwa, and all the Perseus members of the Neo UN are dead. However despite all that there is more hope than ever before for festum and humans to coexist with Miwa being able to communicate with them, as well as all the azazel types being killed off, Soushi may be dead but a 2nd Soushi is born and raised by Kazuki, and one day they will be able to return to the submerged Tatsumiya island. | |

Everyone Has Standards: It was only after Kouyo's parents attempted to take their son off life support that Fumihiko threw them off the island, denouncing them as unworthy parents because of this. This coming from a man who threw Shouko to the winds to kill a Festum only a few episodes before. | |

Emotionless Girl: More like emotionless woman in the case of the Master Festum Mjolnia. Canon was like this for awhile, or at least she hid her emotions very, very well. Kinda dubious since Shouko wasn't likely to die from piloting a Fafner, and only did die because she didn't wait the two minutes until backup arrived. | |

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Exodus is becoming less and less mecha and more magical tricks now. Well, to quote Orihime, The power you wished for. A power that exists for your sakes. That's not saying they can use them without any harm though, and this being Fafner, their price are jarring to say the least; and it turns out each machine will only have one special power. | |

For Exodus, the show ends on the most bittersweet note in the franchise, Soushi is Killed Off for Real this time, Tatsumiya island is submerged with Orihime and Kiyome sacrificing themselves to do so, Seri being put into a Deep Sleep, Yumiko and Emery were Dead All Along and fade away right in front of Miwa, and all the Perseus members of the Neo UN are dead. However despite all that there is more hope than ever before for festum and humans to coexist with Miwa being able to communicate with them, as well as all the azazel types being killed off, Soushi may be dead but a 2nd Soushi is born and raised by Kazuki, and one day they will be able to return to the submerged Tatsumiya island. | |

Speak Ill of the Dead: Shouko's death resulted in some of the islanders desecrating the grave to the horror of friends who saw her make a Heroic Sacrifice for them. Turns out in a CD Drama that it was actually Soushi to really drive the point home that Heroic Sacrifices are not an option. Since pilots don't exactly grow on trees, this is actually justified. A somewhat dick move, but justified. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Festum aren't really portrayed evil. They're just a hive mind species that don't understand the concept of individuality and thus they think something is broken about us and they're trying to fix us so that we exist "correctly". The problem is they don't realize the assimilation process is something humans don't survive, because they don't understand the concept of death either. The conflict is so dangerous because they're very concerned about our well-being and thus very determined to "help" us. Subverted with the Festum named Idun, who is evil and wants to destroy us, but only because he learned the concepts of hatred and destruction from assimilating us. | |

Before Tsubaki there was Idun, the core of another Island who, unlike Tsubaki, IS evil and kills several soldiers in his first appearance. Orihime, Tsubaki's self-proclaimed "daughter", who is the new core of the island. She's less nice than Tsubaki was, and it's implied she's extremely pissed off that the inhabitants of the island used her to get more power. | |

The Assimilator: The Festum are the obvious example, but the Mark Sein also has the power to assimilate them. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: After a long struggle and even more sacrifices, The Beyond ends on the most positive note out of any of the franchise's anime entries. | |

I Call It "Vera" | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_faf5732b | comment |
I Call It "Vera": Starting with Exodus, the characters started giving the Fafners codenames, starting with the Mk.XIV "Susanoo," the Mk.XV "Tsukuyomi," and the Mk.XVI "Amaterasu." In The Beyond, the rebuilt Marks Ein and Zwei are called "Specter" and "Grim Reaper," respectively, while the Marks Vier, Sieben, Neun, Zehn, and Dreizehn are dubbed "Abaddon," "Azrael, "Izanami," "Achilles," and "Chronos." | |

Theme Naming | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: According to the scenario writer, Tow Ubukata, animation production is a process that involves many people so he names characters according to their personalities or purpose to make it easier for everybody. "Kazu" means ONE and "Sou" means ALL. "Ken" in Kenji means sword. A sword that protects the princess called Sakura and the shield (Mamoru means protect). Kouyou's last name "Kasugai" means clamp because he serves to connect characters and emotions. Shouko "Hazama" (to be in between) is positioned between various characters. | |

Cast from Lifespan | |
| Fafner in the Azure: Dead Aggressor / int_ff074ad4 | comment |
Cast from Lifespan: The more you pilot a Fafner, the closer you get to being assimilated. Kazuki takes this trope up a notch and he isn't stopping. To elaborate: Every citizen of Tatsumiyajima is injected with the Festum factor. This is in and of itself completely harmless, it in fact helps protect them from Festum contamination, but piloting a Fafner activates the factor which leads to assimilation. | |
