Red Garden	comment	It started with the butterflies.Claire, Rose, Rachel and Kate — four New York City girls from the same school but from very different backgrounds and social circles — are drawn together one night by a flock of mysterious butterflies that only they can see. Waiting for them are two mysterious figures — a woman named Lula and her partner, JC — who inform the four girls that they are dead.In order to continue in their borrowed lives, the heroines are forced to fight for them. Each night, they must wait until midnight before they can rest. If the butterflies come to them before midnight, the girls must follow them and fight a twisted, bestial man with no help and no skills but their own will to live.Thereafter, the lives of the girls (and the plot of the anime) revolve around coming to terms with these facts and the "suicide" of their friend Lise. Their deaths and the rabid men they are forced to fight all tie back to a strange and influential family.Combining elements of horror, music — the girls occasionally break into song — and teen drama, Red Garden takes a very different approach to the girls-fighting-monsters genre.

Red Garden / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: Lula presents one to the girls when they seem ready to quit fighting by showing them their dead bodies and telling them they can be resurrected and return to their normal lives if they can continue to fight. This lifts the girls' spirits up and they slowly begin to grow happier and start to get along with each other. Then comes episode sixteen.

Red Garden / int_c4db6423	comment	Yank the Dog's Chain: In the OVA, Edgar and Louise finally look like they are ready to love each other and the girls are willing to let Edgar off the hook for his crimes, only for both of them to get pulled under the earth by vines. Beforehand, Louise mentions having met the girls before which would indicate that she remembered her past life. If that is the case, then she could've been able to tell the girls about their past which is what they're seeking clues for.

Red Garden / int_dae5c997	comment	Action Girl: To an extent. Claire and Kate are the first to put up a fight during the girls' first battle, and from then became the two primary combatants. Rachel on the other hand, is either the Girly Bruiser end or literally the Chew Toy of the night. Rose spends the majority of the fights cowering in fear, but she eventually graduates to an Action Girl. Lula and Headmistress Sinclair (the chairwoman of Grace) have also proven their Action Girl capabilities.

Red Garden / int_e68b72	comment	The Load: Rose tends to cower more than she fights. Later lampshaded by Rachel in the form of a "The Reason You Suck" Speech in Episode 13. Strangely averted in Episode 7 when a verbal bright slap from Rachel herself during a fight motivates a fallen Rose to rise back up and fight. Ultimately, Rose gets better.

Red Garden / int_e75d4959	comment	Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World: Deconstructed. Fighting is clearly difficult for the girls (whether physically or mentally), and they don't know why they have to do it. This ends up creating a lot of social (and mental) problems for them, which are given quite a bit of focus.

Of course being unable to move as a result of a curse probably contributed a lot to their disillusionment with eternal life. Averted in the Dead Girls OVA where the four main characters are mostly satisfied with their immortality, and instead of angsting all the time do things like composing ridiculously silly battle songs and travel the world getting bounty hunting gigs.
