Present Day (duh)
Mix and Match (both shonen -and- shoujo archetypical elements)
Cat Girl (Maeve)
Joshikousei (three out of five main characters)
Heavy Sleeper (subverted - Kennan can sleep through anything -except- someone intentionally trying to wake him, in which case he bounces straight from 'dead to the world' to 'wide awake' without going through any of the stages in between)
Ninja (oh boy do we got ninja... but mostly Miyou)
Tall Dark And Bishoujo (also Miyou)
The Thing That Goes Doink (subverted - Tsuchi has one in her (realistically cramped) apartment's flowerbox)
The Ordinary High School Student (Kennan)
Schoolgirl Lesbians (Maeve and Keiu)
Anime Theme Song (natch)
Ancient Tradition (Miyou and her clan)
Blank White Eyes and Blue With Shock, as appropriate
Cute Little Fangs (Maeve, -all- the Dragons)
Demonic Invaders (with a Hindu background)
Fanservice, including
Clothing Damage
Gainaxing
a Hot Springs Episode
Panty Shots (usually 'cause of the wind; see above)
Festival Episode (Ken and Miyou's first date is at a year-end fair, various others)
Grand Finale
Hermetic Magic (sort of subverted - it appears, along with just about every other magical tradition concievable, each used by a different character)
Impossibly Cool Clothes (Maeve, also subverted when characters complain about having boring normal uniforms)
Invisible to Normals (either subverted or with a lampshade on, because the government in particular -is- noticing, but the core cast doesn't know that they are)
Ki Attacks (Tsuchi)
Mask Power (subverted, since Keiu's the -least- dangerous of the core cast)
Noblewoman's Laugh (subverted by Tsuchi, who a. not noble, b. aware of that she does it and c. -hates- the fact)
The Only One Allowed to Defeat You (Ravana is immune to anything -except- humans)
Parental Abandonment (both normal (Tsuchi, Miyou) and subverted (Ken, Keiu))
Perpetual Molt (Keiu)
Roofhopping (Tsuchi)
Single Stroke Battle (half to three quarters of the fights on the show)
Snow Means Love (Ken and Miyou; Keiu and Maeve)
Swirling Dust (Tsuchi)
Transformation Sequence (Ken and Keiu, somewhat subverted since a. it doesn't happen very often, b. it's animated differently every time, c. its shown in real-time, ie, it really does take that long, and d. -really- disgusting)
This and That (Tsuchi and her BF; Ken and Miyou towards the end of the series)
Big Bad (Ravana)
Worthy Opponent (Jaan, somewhat subverted since he gets away)
Evil Overlord (also Jaan, who has -read- the Evil Overlord List)
Psycho For Hire (Britva)
The Man Behind the Man (Ravana and An Liu)
The Dragon (An Liu, somewhat subverted, since he's not a physical type)
The Government (subverted, since they turn out both competent and on the side of the angels)
The Ghost (Tsuchi's boyfriend)
Green Skinned Space Babe (Maeve)
Extraordinarily Empowered Girl (Miyou)
and, a bit, the Five Man Band, with
The Hero - Miyou, who has brains, beauty, and whoopass, all in one... and tends to be, er, rather intense
The Lancer - Kennan, dedication incarnate but laid back about it
The Big Guy - Tsuchi, aka, She Who Kicks Ass. Also a subversion, since she's got the others beat on terms of raw brains
The roles of The Smart Guy and The Chick swap between Keiu and Maeve on a regular basis, depending on circumstances.
