In the latter half of the 21st century, Earth is threatened by creatures called WORMS, which are huge artificial life forms resembling the first thing they see—usually sea organisms. After a devastating war they seem to have been defeated, only to suddenly appear again.To fight them, a special unit of Mini-Mecha has been devised: the Sonic Divers. Curiously, these can only be piloted by young females. The first unit consists of three teenaged girls, one of whom is Otoha Sakurano, an avid kendo practitioner. The story focuses primarily on her plight, although the other girls get plenty of attention as well. In the TV series, the team gets expanded by one more girl of German origin.The series started out with a Fanservice-laden episode, produced by Konami and released as an OVA. It later got adapted into a two-season series in which the service got somewhat toned down, although the girls still have to wear extremely skin-tight uniforms to make them "communicate" with their mecha. Despite the obvious appeal to adolescent males, the series still manages to have an engaging plot and a fair amount of character development.For a show with a similar concept that began with an OVA and was later turned into an anime, see Strike Witches. Both shows share the same character designer, Humikane Shimada, which may further explain their similarities. For another show and toyline that inherited Shimada's design style, there is Busou Shinki - and yes, there were Sky Girls action figures made with the Busou Shinki MMS2 body-type. | |

Retired Badass: Several. Soya Togo is one; he was an Ace Pilot retiring due to a nasty injury and instead becomes Cool Teacher to the girls. Also, the Koryu's captain and first offficer (Admiral Kadowaki and Rear Admiral Shima), very high-ranking and very experienced Fleet officers coming out of retirement for the task. | |

Little Bit Beastly: Strangely enough, the Motion Slits include hair decorations that vaguely resemble animal ears and has a cable extension connecting their spine to the Sonic Divers resembling tails. This become even more pronounced at the second generation Rescue Sky Girls, whose hair decs are even more varied. Seems Fumikane decided to cut the middleman and made everyone in Strike Witches magically sprout animal ears and tails without any other explanation other than their magic powers did it... | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Sky Girls / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Due to the obvious fact that on OVA has only 30 minutes, the three heroines is depicted in a very stereotypical way, sometimes at odds with how the series portrayed them. While Otoha's character largely stays the same, Karen's trait as a Teen Genius is more accentuated by her spouting off exact minutes and percentages, while Eika comes off as a little narcissist by taking sunbathing seriously. Other subtler traits however, are used as basis to build their characters in the series, such as Karen's shyness with boys, Eika's seriousness as the only military girl, Otoha's chemistry with Ryohei, Ryohei's love of motorbikes (alluded in the ending theme), Takumi as the Team Chef, etc. | |

Subverted when taken outside the team, as Nanae has the largest bust of all female characters, and she's part Mission Control, part Team Mom. | |

Bookends | |
| Sky Girls / int_5313c266 | comment |
Book Ends: For... basically everyone. For Eika, who is introduced by being defeated by a surprise move from another test pilot in a vastly superior machine. In episode 26, she puts that same move in an inferior plane against two other superior planes and teaches their pilots not to depend too much of the machine's performance. For Karen, whose introduction is she being so timid around males (even for everyday situations), that she's unable to talk wih two classmates she's helping with a report, needing her roommate to act as intermediary. In episode 26, she's shown confidently talking with those very classmates about their work, much to her roommate's surprise. For Togo, whose introduction is him meeting Eika near her plane, snarking at her age with a fishing rod over his shoulder before informing her of his rank (Eika is not amused). In episode 26, he does exactly the same. (This time, Eika just snarks back). For the Sonic Divers team, whose first mission was meant to be an airshow which a natural disaster turns into a rescue operation, and whose very last sortie is to put a kickass airshow for their replacements, a dedicated rescue unit of brand new Sonic Divers. Slightly Played With, as the first book end happens several episodes into the series, well after the Divers are introducted. For Takumi, whose introduction is him taking photos of Karen's brother's buildings. In episode 26, he's again doing the same. | |

Hero of Another Story: Elise's prized team photo of the doomed personnel of the destroyed West Europe base shows a nice, varied group, with likely candidates for all the niche roles of the genre, al of whom seem to love and care for her, and makes a very good job of letting the viewer imagine the adventures Elise might have had with them before they were all killed in a Worm attack that left no survivors.

But Not Too Foreign: Elise. Also later Aisha, she's probably Indian Muslim (not all Indian Muslims migrated to Pakistan), and it's traditional Punjabi clothing she's wearing, not a cheongsam. | |

| Sky Girls / int_73733868 | comment |
Awesomeness by Analysis: Karen. In and out of combat; her cockpit display is set to provide her a wealth of information so huge that a normal person would only perceive "noise", and she's able to both memorize the enemy's weapons firing patterns so accurately that can intercept them firing over the shoulder without looking, and calculate Nanae's breast size (that she's hiding behind documents) just upon visible measurements, human averages, angles and proportions. | |

For the Sonic Divers team, whose first mission was meant to be an airshow which a natural disaster turns into a rescue operation, and whose very last sortie is to put a kickass airshow for their replacements, a dedicated rescue unit of brand new Sonic Divers. Slightly Played With, as the first book end happens several episodes into the series, well after the Divers are introducted. | |

Deconstruction: In a series like this, it should be unlikely. From the girls being Older Than They Look (low resources society means stunted growth) to Otoha's reaction of finding out about the fate of her brother to Karen's reaction to the clothes they wear on duty, this story has some fairly realistic and dark tones. | |

Continuity Nod: OVA and series are slightly alternate continuities. Both start, however, with a shot (the OVA's, considerably more Fan Service-y) of Otoha swimming under a boat - even with the same music playing on the radio. The one episode delay between Kouryuu sailing forth and Elize's Diver being operational is another nod to the OVA, depicting a three-girls team on board. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Sky Girls / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: As a general rule, expect a dark reveal of some sort to any "light" episodes. For example, the same episode that has Otoha running around the base to find the owner of a large bra is also the episode where Elise is introduced by having her hastily evacuated from the destroyed West Europe base. Also, the real reason why Sky Girls are formed, during a Hot Springs Episode. The last episode, showing how every character seems to have achieved in the end what they wanted, averts this trope particularly hard, after 25 episodes of using it more or less straight, when nothing ruins the mood. | |

Spoiler Opening: The opening spoils the appearance of Elise quite a while before she even shows up and only several episodes after that she actually joins the cast proper; and it basically spoils the entire rest of the cast too. It also shows a girl whose face is obscured by a helmet; it's actually Aisha who joins very late and otherwise only showed up once to fight against Eika in a test battle. | |

Expy: Possible instance. The bratty German girl who joins partway into the series is a teen genius, an arrogant and hot-headed person on proving her skill, and has a rather traumatic past. Combined with the synch ratios, hairclips, inhuman enemy monsters with unknown motives, and post-apocalyptic setting, some fans see Evangelion in the series and Asuka in Elise. Thankfully, though, Elise learns to lose the arrogance before anything too bad happens to her, and this series is not the Dysfunction Junction that Evangelion is. | |

Younger Than They Look | |
| Sky Girls / int_e9db9908 | comment |
Younger Than They Look: Is it possible for a single series to invoke both this and Older Than They Look? Yes. But only at the end, and due to a strange and spoileriffic reason. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
| Sky Girls / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: Look closely at the maps shown with the adjusted coastlines. Somehow the sea level rose in such a way that it submerged the Andes while sparing most of the Amazon Basin, and flooded most of the central United States while leaving all of Florida above water. Check out this page for a couple of neat applets showing what the map would really look like. | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Sky Girls / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Try telling to the mother, daughter and kitten they rescue from a landslide in the nick of time in their first sortie that they aren't that. Half-lampshaded, half-discussed, as TV broadcasts the whole rescue aftermath and they get to be Famed in Story as Big Damn Heroes. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Sky Girls / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Combined with a bit of Chekhov's Skill. When the ship's supply warehouse is damaged, forcing the crew to starve, Otoha uses her genius fishing skills to turn the Sonic Divers into fishing machines. No, they don't fish using a rod, they use nets attached to torpedos. | |

Phlebotinum Overload | |

Phlebotinum Overload: Aisha can't pilot for too long, since her 118% synchronization rate is incredibly taxing. Just a few minutes is enough to put her in a coma. | |

Dude, Where's My Respect? | |
| Sky Girls / int_f818b637 | comment |
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Played with; the whole series is the tale of how the trope is first played painfully straight (as the HQ treats the Sky Girls and the Sonic Divers with derision as "toys"); then downplayed when they become Famed in Story, with HQ deciding to treat them as a mere decoy of their favored project (the Vic Viper); and finally averted when their own actions earn them the respect of their peers, the recognition of the HQ, and the admiration of the public. | |
