Princess Principal/Trivia

Trivia about Princess Principal.

Non-Trope Trivia

• The series' opening theme, "The Other Side of the Wall" by Void_Chords featuring MARU, was listed on The Best Theme Songs of 2017 list at Anime News Network; it was one of only three themes to get more than one nomination on the list.
• A puzzle game based on the television series, Princess Principal Game of Mission, was available for mobile devices in 2017 and 2018. The game is no longer supported.
• The television series was directed by Masaki Tachibana, who previously directed Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.

Trivia Tropes

• Alliterative Title: Not just the series itself, but also Case 2 "Vice Voice", Case 16 "Loudly Laundry", and Case 22 "Comfort Comrade".
• Did Not Do the Research: An In-Universe example: In Case 11, Chise wins a duel by using a trope-naming technique straight out of The Bible (to be specific, 1 Samuel 17:49). Given the time and place the series is set and the social class of her opponent, he should have recognized it for what it was... but he doesn't.
• Hey, It's That Voice!: Luci Christian makes a cameo as a little girl in Case 7.
• Shout-Out:
  • As noted elsewhere, Ange le Carré's last name is a shout-out to author John le Carré.
  • Cavorite comes from H. G. Wells' Edwardian-era novel The First Men in the Moon.
  • "L" is probably a shout-out to "M" from James Bond.
  • Ange's repeated references to the Black Lizard Planet are a reference to "The Black Lizard", the English translation of 黒蜥蜴 ("Kurotokage"), a beautiful master criminal from Edogawa Ranpo's 1934 novel of the same name (which was made into a film in 1968).
  • The title of Case 18, "Rouge Morgue", may be an intentional echo of Edgar Allen Poe's Murders in the Rue Morgue.
