An Immigrant's Tale | |
| Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow / int_11b2e74f | comment |
An Immigrant's Tale: The Popples immigrate to Australia with the hopes of making it big and owning a farm, but instead they end up living in poverty. Luckily, it's thanks to the kindess of their neighbours (and the kindness they give in return) that helps them stay afloat. | |

The Migration: Many Englishfolk voluntarily move to Australia in hopes of finding a better life, namely the Popples, the Pettywells and Dr. Dayton. The Popples specifically land in Adelaide, Australia on November 7, 1837. | |

Cool Old Guy | |
| Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow / int_17501df2 | comment |
The anime highlights many times that kindness to animals is an important virtue. For example, Cool Old Guy Larry is a shepherd, and even the mother of the Popples, who disagrees with keeping a dingo like Little as a pet, but grows to adore him. Characters that dislike animals (such as Lucy May's teacher, Mackenzie) are often portrayed unsympathetically. | |

Parents as People | |
| Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: The anime stresses that parents aren't perfect and sometimes they do things that make their kids upset. Arthur may be an alcoholic who sells their farm animals to buy food, but he did out of wanting to provide for his family, and he's broken when Lucy May goes missing. Even the Princetons play this straight - they don't want to adopt Lucy May to hurt the Popples, they lost their daughter when she was two and see her in Lucy. | |

Nouveau Riche: Discussed. This is Arthur's (and many of the other immigrants') dream, and they work endlessly to achieve it. However, only Pettywell is able to fulfill this trope, though at the end Lucy brings the Popples wealth accidentally. | |

Artistic License – History: Clara states in the first episode that the year is 1837. In episode 33, Lucy-May mentions it's been three years since she came to Australia, meaning the year is 1841. In the next episode, while Arthur is working at a quarry, he hears an explosion, and his colleague tells him it is the sound of dynamite. But nitroglycerin, the raw material for dynamite, wasn't discovered until 1847. | |

Bad People Abuse Animals | |
| Lucy-May of the Southern Rainbow / int_d2102da0 | comment |
Bad People Abuse Animals: Whenever Mr. Pettywell is in a bad mood, he attacks his dog, Happy. In contrast Lucy May is an All-Loving Hero and her list of Animal Companions include her hamster from England, Mash, her goats Sticky, Pansy, and Soppy, her sheep Snowflake and her dingo Little. Not to mention her various ducks and chickens amongst other animals. What cements the rivarly between the Pettywells and the Popples is when Happy kills one of Sticky's newborn baby goats. The anime highlights many times that kindness to animals is an important virtue. For example, Cool Old Guy Larry is a shepherd, and even the mother of the Popples, who disagrees with keeping a dingo like Little as a pet, but grows to adore him. Characters that dislike animals (such as Lucy May's teacher, Mackenzie) are often portrayed unsympathetically. | |
