I always like to joke that Okada scripts have much in common with Lifetime movies. So let's see what's here: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...MovieOfTheWeek

Hana Saku Iroha:
Aesop Collateral Damage
All Men Are Perverts
All Men Are Rapists
All Take and No Give: Husbands are often presented as extremely selfish and self-centred.
Black and White Morality
Bratty Teenage Daughter
Social Services Does Not Exist
Double Standard Abuse: Female on Male: Most often seen in Woman vs Evil Man scenarios.
Evil Matriarch (Subverted)
No Accounting for Taste: Unless there's a Psycho Ex-Girlfriend or Yandere involved, in which case the husband practically has Single-Target Sexuality for his wife
Police Are Useless


True Tears:
Bastard Boyfriend
Hot Guys Are Bastards
== If you ship Noe==
Beauty Is Bad: The Evil Woman is often very attractive.
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: The antagonist is often this.
Extreme Doormat: Being virtuous and enduring but weak and incompetent is often the only way a woman can come out on top in a Lifetime movie. (Well, scratch the weak and incompetent part-- that's ported over to the guys.)
====
== If you ship Hiromi==
Psycho Ex-Girlfriend=
====
Domestic Abuse
Destructive Romance
God Save Us From The Queen: A woman in a position of power over the protagonist, such as a boss or mother, will usually be a bitch and often the villain.

Aesop Collateral Damage - Could you explain that one a bit? I don't recall a situation in Hanasaku iroha where a character was taught a lesson by making a connected and only the connected character suffer. Unless you're talking about the first episode in which that was played by another character, and not the story itself.
All Men Are Perverts - Only Jiromaru was an actual pervert. The rest were fine.
All Men Are Rapists - Oh come on...
All Take and No Give: Husbands are often presented as extremely selfish and self-centred. - Really? I always thought the characterisations of Sui and Satsuki's husbands were rather idealistic. And Takako and Enishi are always lovey-dovey with each other.
Black and White Morality - In terms of aesops, that pretty much goes for any show. Otherwise it's not really an aesop.
Bratty Teenage Daughter - How dare you insult Ohana.
Social Services Does Not Exist - Well you've got a point there.
Double Standard Abuse: Female on Male: Most often seen in Woman vs Evil Man scenarios. - Wait, when did this happen? Other than Sui slapping girls and men alike and Takako defending Ohana from an attacker (which can't possibly be actual examples) I don't recall this ever happening.
No Accounting for Taste: - Again, when does this actually happen? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Police Are Useless - Well there was that one policeman but I'm not entirely sure that counts...

[EDIT]

This is all a troll isn't it? God damn it, I hate you so much...

lol you took me serious in a tvtropes/Okada discussion. Srsly.

Collateral Damage-- Misread.

Tropes don't have to apply to the whole show. It's clear episode 3 invoked them in Jinomaru for being a perv/potential sex offender

All take and no give: I would apply this to Einshi, it's always about how he's inadequate and alone and needy. Or maybe actaully gender inverted, if you think about it.

Black/White Morality-- I would disagree. The Yuina inn arc, was for example, very one sided

Bratty Teenage Daughter-- Yuina, to a lesser degree, Minko

Double Standard Abuse-- Emasculatiooooonnnnnnnn

No Accounting for Tastes-- arguably Takako and Eiinshi. It's pretty much implied the others can't do better.

Police are useless-- 1.) Jinomaru captures Ohana 2.) A swat team of perverts harasses an underage girl 3.) Ohana gets accosted by random men in the middle of the street. Nothing is done about any of this, as it were typical.

Lol Haak. You let yourself get trolled .

@ Archon-Wing: Are you being serious or not? I can't even tell now.

@ Pocari_Sweat: You stay out of this...

You can? Well, I guess my gig is up.

I hate you so much...

Somewhat random question. Who you prefer, Okada or Urobuchi?

No shit which one is better. It's not a fair comparison though

Also, Haak stop pressing b when you level up.

I said prefer not better!

Nothing changed.

this, though for non-suffering Okada is probably better.

In all seriousness, I think prefer Okada. It's like playing Russian Roulette! Also talking about Gen is no fun since he's consistent. Talking about Okada though, oh boy... don't know of a writer that has such great highs and such great lows more than this woman!

It's true. Okada is superior at comedy, both intentional and unintentional. Though Gen did it well sometimes in Psycho Pass
