Tags comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience.

This includes episodes that are 11 to 20 minutes in length; shows with episodes up to and including 10 minutes are short episodes instead., mechaMecha in Japanese basically means mechanical things; everything from an electric whisk or a car to a spaceship or a robot.

As the name implies, seinen works are marketed primarily to an audience of young men; the age range commonly understood to be the target of such works goes roughly from 17 to somewhere in the 40s. - [similar]

From the Japanese short film anthology series "Grasshoppa!" A far, far future story in which two aliens (the future of mankind?) are sent to the planet Fable to mark Area 78. The fee they will receive for fulfilling their contract is extremely lucrative, so why is it they have a bad feeling about a simple job? If that weren't bad enough, they pick up a young lady, Mikuru, whom they find in the vicinity of the planet, in cryosleep. It's a wacky and slick SF adventure of hot girls, hot mecha and hotter gags.

The more I watch it, the more I love it. Different in art and animation style. Interesting story and a funny non-human main characters duo.

Trava is quite a strange little anime, it shows some excellent skills and an intrigueing world. Let me explain why.

Animation- The reason to watch this show would be for the animation. It really reminded me of such shows as Aeon Flux or Alexander. This really made the show stand out and catch me, because that style is not often used. It had good colors, but slightly jerky movements in the animations. This is either positive or bad depending on your thoughts. I think it added a hectic side to the style. The action in it is really fun with a strange variety of creatures and fights.

Sound- The voice actors in Trava do an amazing job, they really made me laugh with their constant antics. The girl sounded very sexy with her mystic alien figure. The music wasnt incredible, but it was acceptable considering the quality of the effects and voice overs.

Story- The story in Trava is interesting and really grabbed me. It's a shame that this show is so short, because the back story behind it could prove amazing. It centers around a group of ex-space military buddies who were out on a mission and encounter a sexy space vixen. They land to survey a planet and some interesting things take place. It's just a shame that they couldnt expand it but it still was a very different show that made me think about how deep it could possibly be.

Character- The characters are also one of the main reasons to watch the show. The way the two main friends interact is amazing. Constantly bickering and hammering each other it makes for some comical moments. The space girl is a very attractive interesting thing, but she never really recieves the depth her character deserved. Over all it was a fun cast though, that added to the comical atmosphere in the show.

Value and Enjoyment- The value in this one is definately low just because the show itself is so short and very compact without going into details. This lowers the value quite a bit but the shortness of the series adds to a quick replay now and then if you like the style. I enjoyed it quite a bit and if you like the Aeon Flux style and enjoy some cool outer-space action, check it out.

· actionAction anime usually involve a fairly straightforward story of good guys versus bad guys, where most disputes are resolved by using physical force. It often contains a lot of shooting, explosions and fighting. *+
· comedyAnime whose central struggle causes hilarious results. These stories are built upon funny characters, situations and events. A comedy anime is laced with humour and sets out to provoke laughter from the audience. Japanese humour can be a bit strange to westerners, so if you`re new to this type of humour, just bear with it; it`ll most likely grow on you if you`re a fan of other kinds of comedy. **
· · absurdist humourSurreal humour is a form of humour predicated on deliberate violations of causal reasoning, producing events and behaviours that are obviously illogical. Constructions of surreal humour tend to involve bizarre juxtapositions, non-sequiturs, irrational or absurd situations, and expressions of nonsense. The humour arises from a subversion of audience`s expectations, so that amusement is founded on unpredictability. Its appeal stems from the situation being exceedingly ridiculous or unlikely. *
· · slapstickSlapstick humour is generally recognized by lots of physical abuse, horseplay and practical jokes. Also often seen are impossible situations, using sounds to illustrate impossible stunts that aren`t shown on-screen and to create tension for audience anticipation. +
· speculative fictionSpeculative fiction is an umbrella genre encompassing fiction with certain elements that do not exist in the real world, often in the context of supernatural, futuristic or other imaginative themes. This includes, but is not limited to, science fiction, fantasy, superhero fiction, horror, utopian and dystopian fiction, fairytale fantasy, supernatural fiction, as well as combinations thereof.
· · science fictionScience fiction stories usually focus on how situations could be different in the future when we are more technologically advanced; due to either our own achievements or having met with other civilizations whom we have learned from. **+
· · · alienThis entity or creature was born on another world than the main characters. *+
· · · · humanoid alienHumanoids are aliens, intelligent beings who do not originate from Earth, but have a striking similarity to humans or at least show the basic body layout, i.e. two arms and legs, head with two eyes and ears, one nose and mouth. Though the latter - head-related features - may vary. As "DearS" shows some aliens actually exhibit super-human beauty, or as in the case of "Onegai Teacher" they are genetically compatible to humans for some strange reason. *+
· · · mechaMecha in Japanese basically means mechanical things; everything from an electric whisk or a car to a spaceship or a robot. Here however we limit it to the more exotic things usually referred to as mecha anime: robots, whether controlled by a human or not, and their ilk. **
· · · · power suitPower Suits are similar to Piloted Robots which are controlled from inside the robot except that Power Suits tend to be more directly tied to how the character moves and they are usually not as big as Piloted Robots can be. They are still mechanical and shouldn`t be confused with plug suits. **
· Japanese productionno description set weightless
· placeThe places the anime can take place in. Includes more specific places such as a country on Earth, as well as more general places such as a dystopia or a mirror world.
· · spaceThe final frontier. **
· · · other planetThe anime will fit this category if some or all of the action takes place on another planet which is supposedly in the same universe as Earth, not a complete fantasy world; usually there has to be some concept of space travel. The Latin name for Earth - Terra, would also pass the condition of being in the same universe as Earth. Basically, even mentioning of Earth existing or having existed would be enough. Although Moon is a moon, it also qualifies as Other Planet. **
· · · shipboardBeam me up, Scotty! Space stations (think Death Star) also count. Basically, this category is to tell if the setting takes place onboard a spaceship in space. This category is not applicable if the spaceship lies on a planet and never actually gets into space. *+
· timeThis placeholder lists different epochs in human history and more vague but important timelines such as the future, the present and the past.
· · futureAnime that fall under the future category are the ones that have a society that could have originated from ours. In most cases it should go hand to hand with sci-fi since we expect the future to consist of advanced technology, however, in the case where it`s explicitly stated in the story that the anime takes place "x years into the future", the state of technology doesn`t matter as long as it`s long into the future. The anime can be set in an alternative universe not tied with our own, as long as it has a futuristic feel to it. This category sports quite a lot of anime, mostly stemming from SciFi, but not necessarily only from there. ***
· seinenSeinen, literally "young man", is one of the main demographic classifications applied to manga, and, by extension, to anime, especially manga-based ones. As the name implies, seinen works are marketed primarily to an audience of young men; the age range commonly understood to be the target of such works goes roughly from 17 to somewhere in the 40s. weightless
· experimental animationThis anime uses distinct, alternative animation — much unlike other contemporary anime — either throughout or in individual episodes/sequences. weightless
· half-length episodesHalf-length episodes are regular episodes that are somewhat shorter than the standard length. This includes episodes that are 11 to 20 minutes in length; shows with episodes up to and including 10 minutes are short episodes instead. weightless
