| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) | comment |
Kou Ichinomiya, heir to the prestigious Ichinomiya Company has only one mission in life: to not owe a favor to anyone. He's lived that way for 21 years. Until one day when, his pants hung up on top of a bridge, he ends up falling, with the bridge pillar, into the river down below. Nino, a girl who lives under the bridge, saves his life. Kou wants to pay her back, but Nino desires nothing except for a boyfriend; so Kou winds up living in strange community under the bridge with Nino, who also claims to be from Venus, now under the name of Recruit ("Rec" for short).Originally a manga by Hikaru Nakamura (not to be confused with the chess Grandmaster of the same name) which was published in Young Gangan from 2004 to 2015, it later had an anime adaptation which aired in the spring of 2010, animated by Studio Shaft. It was followed up by a second season, Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge (or Arakawa Under the Bridge x 2), that aired in the fall of that year.There was also a TV Drama adaptation followed up by a movie in 2011 and 2012, which starred Kento Hayashi as Kou, Mirei Kiritani as Nino and another bunch of familiar actors of the medium (Shun Oguri, Yuu Shirota, Takayuki Yamada, etc).Not to be confused with Hiromu Arakawa, creator of Fullmetal Alchemist, who presumably doesn't live under a bridge, though she may live in a nearby field... | |

We Have Ways of Making You Talk | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_12f667aa | comment |
We Have Ways of Making You Talk: Used in the Rescue Arc, when Billy and his comrades tried to get Shimazaki back from the Humus organization. Since Billy and the others think of themselves as BIRDS, what is more torturing than making them repeat phrases as if they were parakeets? Or, well, seeing a video of your fellow birds comrades go to migrate? Or even listening the story of The Happy Prince? For us they are mere such unusual punishments, anyway. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In the manga, there's a moment where Nino mentions that "some people appear on the volume covers and other don't", looking straightly to the reader and making Rec very uneasy.note He was the only member of the cast that didn't appeared in the manga volumes' cover at the time of its printing. In 2015, he becomes the protagonist of the very last cover of the series. Theare are moments that Nino mentions something out of importance, and Rec is capable of reading her thoughts (in parenthesis), like that one time she told him that she wants to be with him forever (so she doesn't forget about him). It's obvious that he didn't take it well. There's the arc where Nino must go to Venus, and the characters joke in all ways possible to the sudden serious plot's changes. Captain even becomes self-aware that their lives and their world (the manga itself) is "80% Comedy", and when "time suddenly moves on, the plot thickens, and the final chapter is close". Except... the manga continued by then, by averting this "serious subplot" as Rec is the one that got sent to Venus instead, and he eventually returns, anyways. | |

Limited Wardrobe: Justified since the villagers live in a riverbank as "homeless" people. Though Hoshi and P-ko are the only ones who change their clothes regularly, and since Sister provides some seasonal's clothes to all of them... everyone washes their clothes in a regular frequency. | |

Out of Focus | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_32da91b8 | comment |
Out of Focus: Although the concept of the series is based around Rec and Nino's relationship (they even get their voice actors' credits in the OP sequence, which is rare in an anime), the series tells us more about the rest of the villagers than Nino herself. This starts to change when the question about whether she is or not a venusian comes at hand. | |

Cast of Snowflakes | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_3e848d5c | comment |
Cast of Snowflakes: Perhaps to distinguish their own "quirks" and characteristics from each other, each one of the characters has a significative different design. From the guy who uses a star mask to hide his "famous former self", to the ex-military soldier who is crossdressing as a nun, to The Stoic woman who could be a Human Alien, or a former yakuza mob's woman as a cute "bee queen". | |

Butt-Monkey: Most of the characters get their share... Rec, as the outsider of the riverbank's village and Only Sane Man, gets the prize. He is always the center of all jokes, because he is too Comically Serious for them. P-ko becomes the unfortunate target of Maria's wrath. Hoshi finds himself in arguably as many painful situations as Rec. That and the girl he likes is interested in the later just tells you how his luck is going. | |

Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy: Rec and Nino to some extent fit as such in a romantic context, as she is The Stoic and he has a Shoujo heroine's heart. In chapter 162/episode 7, Rec has an Imagine Spot with Nino wearing a tuxedo and himself wearing a bridal dress, wondering how he came to that conclusion. | |

Art Shift | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: The fifth episode's opening. Even without the apparent rotoscoping, the art has a rather different look than the usual. Every once in a while, Rec's form shifts into a very shoujo manga look. For example, when he's imagining being Nino's bride (yes, not the other way around), or when he's under "Kameari-tis" — along with Hoshi and Last Samurai. | |

Giver of Lame Names | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_9a032f08 | comment |
Giver of Lame Names: The Mayor has the power to "baptize" a new villager with whatever nickname or name he comes up with. It can be something as obvious as "Sister" (for a guy crossdressing as a nun), or "Nino-san" (her school/P.E. jersey's jacket has a tag that says "2-3", "Ni no san"). This is put on test once Rec gets into his role as the village's mayor, once he is provoked by Hoshi to do it so. | |

Theare are moments that Nino mentions something out of importance, and Rec is capable of reading her thoughts (in parenthesis), like that one time she told him that she wants to be with him forever (so she doesn't forget about him). It's obvious that he didn't take it well. | |

| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_a6f23b2d | comment |
Skepticism Failure: Inverted, at their first meeting, Rec believes, at least for a few minutes, that the man in the green suit is indeed a kappa. He comes up with the idea of Hoshi being a star-shaped monster feeding itself with heads of young men to posses their corpses and control it, rather than him being a young man himself and wearing a mask. Arakawa Riverbank's logic sank into him indeed. | |

Artificial Riverbank: The riverbank's village takes place in the aforementioned (artificial) Arakawa riverbank.

Below the Arakawa's riverbank, there's a refuge shelter that is also a space shuttle to Venus. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Several, such as to Doraemon (Rec's imagine spot during Nino's bath is similar to the series' Running Gag of Shizuka taking a bath...) One particularly noticeable one was in the first episode in regards to Ace Attorney. In the first episode of the second season, Hoshi's head becomes an invincibility star. Sister apparently owes some thanks for his knife skills to an old snake. From his commentary during P-ko and the Mayor's fight, apparently both Rec and the Mayor are fans of Tomorrow's Joe. When Amazoness displays the box containing "treasure" in the second episode of season two, Rec wonders if there's any O-Parts inside. Also from the same episode, Amazoness says "And doesn't this makeup make me look like Avril?" There's also a The Moomins reference involving P-ko. The title itself it's a reference to "Under the Bridge", of Red Hot Chili Peppers, from whom Nakamura is a fan of (even the clothes of Hoshi are sometimes influenced by the fashion sense of the band during that time the song was released). Maybe the title is much more of a Meaningful Name too. | |

Nun Too Holy | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_e9550e66 | comment |
Nun Too Holy: Sister, a man in a nun's habit with a large scar who holds Mass at gunpoint. He also acts pretty close to a nun too, save for the idiosyncrasies. | |

Jerkass | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_eb8ec7c8 | comment |
Jerkass: Hoshi acts like rather petty and visibly ineffectual Jerk Jock from high school and Rival-wannabe towards Rec. Maria, though her case is justified since she is more of a sadist. | |

Scary Stinging Swarm | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_ebfaf704 | comment |
Scary Stinging Swarm: Jacqueline accidentally hits a beehive while she was waiting for Billy, for their anniversary's date. Hoshi and Rec go to save her, but Nino remarks to them that "bees cannot attack a bee queen". | |

Moment Killer | |
| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_ece6f910 | comment |
Moment Killer: Almost everyone can ruin their moments. Hoshi is considered one of the main ones, even involuntarily, in serious moments of the plot such as that one time he recorded one of his songs in one of Nino's old tapes (which revealed her venusian roots). | |

| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_f4aeb714 | comment |
Human Aliens: Nino, that is if the venusian thing is actually true. And it really is, at least on Earth, if Rec's Venus trip diary is to trust by, since her parents are portrayed as jellyfishes in his drawings. | |

With Friends Like These...: Maria is considered a valuable member of the bridge community, providing everyone with dairy. She'll also insult anyone at the drop of a hat. | |

| Arakawa Under the Bridge (Manga) / int_fe8a1029 | comment |
Feed the Mole: If the Mayor claims to be who he really is outside the riverbank, he already knew that Shimazaki was going to keep her game of spying on them. Especially if he knows that the majority of villagers are Cloudcuckoolanders, no one would dare to put a finger on them... | |
