| Allison and Lillia | comment |
Allison and Lillia is a 26-episode, 2008 anime adapted from two related Light Novel series (Allison and Lillia & Treize) by the same author-illustrator team behind Kino's Journey. The series is set on an alternate world of roughly 1930s-era technology, with one big continent split down the middle by a huge river. As a result, two distinct cultures developed in the East and West, neither of which can seem to get along with the other: there have been countless wars in the past, and the west's Allied Kingdoms of Bezel-Iltoa and the east's Roxcheanuk Confederation are technically only in the middle of an armistice, albeit the longest one to date. (It's not as grim as it sounds.) The origin of the war is that both sides believe their ancestors to be the true ancestors to humanity; apparently, neither one has heard of river valley civilizations. By the "World Calendar" shared by both sides, they are in their 3287th year of recorded history.The story revolves around Teen Genius / Ordinary High-School Student Wilhelm "Wil" Schultz and Genki Girl / Ace Pilot Allison Whittington, two orphaned childhood friends who unwittingly stumble onto a tale of a treasure that could end the war. Complicating matters throughout are Allison's growing feelings for Wil, which, despite his perfect memory and keen observation skills, he completely fails to notice. (It doesn't help that she just can't seem to confess due to the plot continually interrupting her.) Over the course of their travels, they first encounter Carr Benedict, an overly-amorous officer of the Sou Beil Air Force, and Fiona, a young woman in a mountain village who harbors a great secret.A straight-up Adventure with Action and Mystery elements, it avoids (for the most part) the frequent Mind Screwery of the aforementioned Kino's Journey. It also features continuing plots, rather than the standalone, episodic nature of Kino. This is a blessing and a curse, with the upshot that the producers of the anime were faced with the unenviable task of cramming 10 books into a single 26-episode series. The series retains a certain charm that makes it hard to resist, with an opening theme that sets the tone perfectly. (See here.) | |

Poirot Speak | |
| Allison and Lillia / int_18e2980 | comment |
Poirot Speak: Benedict, in the second novel. He has some trouble with verb tenses and subtle nuance in Roxchean, which he corrects... and then goes back to speaking Bezelese. Since both languages are rendered as Japanese, however, there's no insertion of random words from his native tongue. | |

Chekhov's Gun: A variety of things introduced earlier in each arc come together to play a part in the end of the story. The anime sometimes forgets to introduce them before they become necessary, however, which turns them into something of a different nature. | |

Chivalrous Pervert: Benedict, in his first appearance; he might even qualify as The Casanova, were he slightly more successful with the ladies. At the time, he really skirts the line between being this and a Handsome Lech; by the adventure in Ikstova, however, he's matured into an Officer and a Gentleman (though less by choice and more due to the fact that all women now fawn over him). | |

Book Ends: The second Allison novel is framed at the beginning and end by letters between Wil and Allison. Similarly, the third book begins and ends with a 15-year-old Lillia; what she reveals about her father in the prologue sets up one of the major dramatic themes for the book, while the epilogue shows what really happened to him. The anime uses these bits in episodes 13 and 14, while directly showing the audience what happened before it gets there. | |

Family-Unfriendly Death: In the first and second books, respectively, Walter MacMillan and Owen Nikhto commit suicide. Wil also shoots two people: three if you count helping Allison aim and fails to kill one only because he's not aiming to. In the third book, Colonel Aikashia kills a number of people, presumably while they are asleep. In all instances, these are toned down for the anime, though the last one also has the individual taking out some soldier-types instead. | |

| Allison and Lillia / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Colonel Aikashia makes a living of "neutralizing" threats to peace, along with any bystanders that happen to get in the way. Yet, in spite of all the duplicity and the body count he incurs in his first appearance, all is forgiven once it's revealed that he's Allison's father. | |

Translator Microbes | |
| Allison and Lillia / int_bf487e2b | comment |
Translator Microbes: Personified in Allison and Wil, who are fluent in both languages and serve as the justification for them being equally understandable to the audience. The books also play with this trope a bit: in plot-relevant situations, the narrative sometimes gives critical information that only parties who speak the same language can understand. Wil frequently plays the role of interpreter, especially in the presence of Fiona (alone among the main cast in not understanding Bezelese. In the first book, this is how the two of them get the location of the treasure from Walter without the guard being any the wiser. In the third book Major Stork reacts to statements before Wil has had a chance to translate them, hinting at his true nature. | |

Hyper-Awareness: Wil has this skill towards everything except Allison's feelings. It helps him sort out pretty much every unresolved plot strand in one fell swoop at the end of each arc. The anime often forgets to give opportunities for the audience to catch these clues, however, making his deductions appear to come from thin air. | |

Improbable Age: When introduced, Wil and Allison are 17, Benedict is 24, and Fiona is 20. The anime never explicitly states this, however, and between the characters' appearances and certain creative casting decisions, one gets the impression that they're quite a bit younger. | |

Translation Convention | |
| Allison and Lillia / int_e11b003d | comment |
Translation Convention: Roxche and Sou Beil each speak a different language, both of which are rendered as Japanese for the readers' convenience. The anime seems to discard this entirely, perhaps because this would be unnecessarily confusing (if more realistic). If nothing else, having to interpret every other line is tedious and eats up screen time. | |
