To aid the detectives in proper use of their Toys, the Holmes Detective Academy has been established. Four trainees, Sherlock Shellingford, Nero Yuzurizaki, Hercule Barton and Cordelia Glauca, have formed a unit by the name of Milky Holmes. Under the guidance of Opera Kobayashi, they seek to defeat Arsene and her band of thieves. Though they need to get along with each other first.In the {{Anime}} series, the Milky Holmes are now established detectives after successfully solving many cases and are universally admired by the students of the academy and the city of Yokohama. That's before losing their Toys during a battle with the Gentlemen Thieves and degenerating into complete and utter failures. Arsene, guising as the StudentCouncilPresident Henriette Mystere, tries to help them regain their toys, by throwing them out of their fancy rooms into a dusty attic, until the end of the school term, in which they are expelled. This is the start of a GagSeries Anime, driven mostly by the character's (not only the Milky Holmes, but also the G4 and the Gentlemen Thieves, save for Arsene) incompetence, simple-mindedness, and just plain idiotic actions.While conceptually based on a [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] VisualNovel, the series was AnimeFirst. It aired in the fall of 2010 with a sequel starting in January 2012. Available online through [[http://www.crunchyroll.com/milkyholmes Crunchyroll]] and the sequel through [[http://ch.niconico.com/channel/ch60200 niconico]]. A pair of {{OVA}}s which follow the VisualNovel more closely was aired on August 2012 and December 2012. A third season under the name ''Futari wa Milky Holmes'' aired on July 2013. A fourth season was greenlit and started airing on January 2015.----!!Tropes in ''Tantei Opera Milky Holmes'' include:* TenMinuteRetirement: After being expelled from the school, Milky Holmes gives up. Or would have, if it wasn't for Sherlock's utter refusal to accept defeat.* AbsoluteCleavage: Arsene.* AbsurdAltitude: The final battle between Arsene and Milky Holmes takes place on a chunk of rock hovering into the upper atmosphere.* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: Henriette has complete control over the school and its students from her position as student council president.* ACupAngst: Averted with the Milky Holmes group, notable on Cordelia, who has a bit of a notable bust, especially seen in the BeachEpisode.* AccidentalMisnaming:** Sherlock constantly calls Rat "Rabbit" instead, which annoys him quite a bit.** Also, Kokoro doesn't like it that Sherlock use FirstNameBasis with her.* AffablyEvil: For all that she is the greatest thief ever and the eternal nemesis of both Milky Holmes and G4, Henriette generally comes off as a very nice girl, who's using tough love to help Milky Holmes get their toys back.* AnimationBump: Very random.* ApologeticAttacker: Hercule, while swinging an entire ''crane''.* ArrangedMarriage: Claris has one she's trying to get out of, prompting her to switch with Sherlock. As it turns out, Pero didn't want to get married either.* {{Arrowgram}}: GentlemanThief Stone River shoots an arrow with a note into Milky Holmeses room. But since the titular heroines are about as dumb as a bag of rocks, they don't even notice it. When they eventually see the fourth or fifth arrow, the proceed to read the vertically written note horizontally and have no idea what it's supposed to be. So Stone River shoots yet another arrow with a small tape player attached to it, reading the message out loud. * ArtShift: When Sherlock is about to use Baritsu in episode 4, her face is shown in the style of shounen fighting anime (thicker lines, bruises). [[RefugeInAudacity Happens whenever it happens]].* AscendedFanboy: In the VisualNovel, Cordelia is a big fan of Kobayashi Opera and she becomes his disciple.* AwesomeButImpractical: Baritsu, secret martial art(?) taught to Sherlock by [[SherlockHolmes her grandfather]]. It requires her to hold other people's hands. [[spoiler: And then it does nothing.]]** Less impractical as demonstrated for real by SherlockHolmes himself in Season 2, when he used it to [[SealedEvilInACan seal the evil toys away in Pandora's Pot]]. It's used by Sheryl again in the episode to [[spoiler: accidentally unleash said evil toys from said pot, ironically.]] * AxeCrazy: Milky Holmes in Season 2 after, the Phantom Thief Empire destroyed their garden.* BadassAdorable: In contrary with her strangely adapted anime version, Cordelia in the game version has shown to be a very capable fighter, to the point able to fight off Stoneriver quite easily and counter high kick Arsene.** Also Milky Holmes with their toys.* BalloonBelly: Milky Holmes after eating a lot.* BarrierWarrior: Kokoro, her Toys is creating a golden shield. [[spoiler: So that's where the golden mask she smacks Sherlock with comes from...]]* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: The final battle versus Arsene takes place in ''outer space''.* BeachEpisode: Episode seven. Kokoro is in a SchoolSwimsuit, among other things.** Ironically, while the rest of the cast appear in swimwear, [[ShirtlessScene Twenty]] is the only one who keeps his clothes on for the whole episode.* BearsAreBadNews: Especially when those bears can uppercut you.* BeeAfraid: The four main girls are all stung by bees in episode 1 of TD.* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Subverted, Cordelia looks like a mummy after she was stuck in a coffin with the creepy narcissist Twenty.** Also in episode 4, Sheryl after being attack by the bear was seen with blood on her head.* BerserkButton: Stoneriver hates being called a coward, Twenty hates being called ugly, and Rat hates being called Rabbit.** In Season 2, they all learn to never destroy Milky Holmes' garden.* BigDamnHeroes: Kokoro of all people, in episode 10. [[spoiler: It's not all that unexpected. It's her job to guard the area.]]* BigEater: Nero. Milky Holmes in general.* {{Bishonen}}: [[spoiler:Buta after absorbing the lard of the entire city.]]* BlueWithShock* {{Bokukko}}: Nero and Kate.* BrainBleach: See Trope Below.* BrickJoke: At the end of episode 1 of the second season Milky Holmes' chicken get roasted by fire. Guess what they're eating at the start of the next episode.* BroughtDownToNormal: In the first episode, no less. Also Kobayashi's backstory in the game.** [[spoiler: And in the last episode.]]* ButtMonkey: Cordelia during episode 2. This is probably a parody of the main characters of World Masterpiece Theater series, whose primary traits are perseverance and selflessness (and beauty).* CallToAgriculture: The first episode of the second season. To the point that they forget they're detectives.* {{Cameo}}: Kobayashi in his commercials.** Both SherlockHolmes and Literature/ArseneLupin appear in the intro ([[JumpPhysics doing some serious jumping]]) representing the GreatDetective and the PhantomThief respectively.* CassandraTruth: In his first scene at the school Twenty outright states that he's a gentleman thief. One of his pupils responds that she doesn't know what he's talking about.* CatchPhrase: "Kokoro-chan!" "Don't call me Kokoro-chan!", an exchange that's bound to happen at any point after Kokoro appears.* ChekhovsGun: The plate from the princess wedding was used to block a blow to the head from a sword.* ChestBlaster: Arsene Boyoyon Missile!* TheChewToy: The entire Milky Holmes team, especially Cordelia and Sherlock, and don't forget Kokoro.* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Mori Arty vanishes without a word at the start of season 2, only to [[TheBusCameBack inexplicably reappear]] for a gag at the end of episode 8.** And Opera Kobayashi is nowhere to be seen.* CipherScything: Kobayashi Opera is nowhere to be found, Sherlock Shellingford is now the main character (sort of).* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Cordelia. In fact, her delusion ''can'' manifest to certain degree in reality.** In episode 6 of the second season, Cordelia [[HeroicSacrifice sacrificed herself]] by jumping out of the train to dispose of a time bomb. After that, she chased the train and jumped back in, while still holding the time bomb, telling her friends that they live together and they '''DIE''' together.** [[UpToEleven Taken to the logical extreme]] in episode 8 of the second season, in which she dragged the rest of the Milky Holmes and the Gentlemen Thieves into her [[{{Cloudcuckooland}} flower garden of fantasy]] via a literal flood of flowers.* ComedicSociopathy: Milky Holmes are kept at the brink of starvation, living in conditions that make some prisons look luxurious.* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Kobayashi and Ellery in the games.* CovertPervert: Hercule?! In episode 4, season 2, her thought balloon is the only one that needed to be censors with pixelation, and she's obviously reading a dirty manga later on in the episode.* CuteLittleFang: Tsugiko.* DarkestHour: By the end of episode 10, Milky Holmes [[spoiler: have lost all credibility as GreatDetective, unable to use their Toys at all, ''is expelled from the school'', losing friendship with Genius 4, losing sympathy from Arsene, LosingTheTeamSpirit, and even Kamabokko left Sherlock in shame.]]** Episode 7 of season two has [[spoiler:Arsene finally give up for good. Destroying the flower of hope given to her by Milky Holmes and proceeded to destroy the school and abandon the Gentleman Thieves.]]* DeathDealer: Twenty.* DecoyDamsel: Henriette in episode 11. Yes, Arsene kidnaps ''herself''.* DemotedToExtra: The eponymous characters take a distant mentor role in ''Futari wa''. Of G4, only Kokoro has a meaningful role (mainly in being one step behind the new protagonists, the Feathers). Thief Empire only appear as TheCameo, Color the Phantom are the new antagonists.** BackForTheFinale: They came back in the final battle vs Colors the phantom.* DenserAndWackier: The entire anime series compared to the much more serious VisualNovel it's based on.** The second anime season too, to the already DenserAndWackier first season.* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Arsene]] crosses it in season two. [[spoiler:Her first act after crossing it is to destroy the ''flower of hope'' Milky Holmes gave her.]]* TheDitz: Sheryl.* DoppelgangerAttack: Seen in the finale.* DrowningMySorrows: [[spoiler:Henriette]] before her DespairEventHorizon, only with [[DrunkOnMalts Oolong Tea]].* DyingMessage: When Rat has been [[spoiler:mistakenly (he's still alive)]] murdered, he writes a message that looks like "MH". It's actually [[spoiler:I-3. Sonia's room.]]* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: [[spoiler:Buta after becoming the fake [[AGodAmI God of Lard]] attempted to suck the lard out of everyone and planned to cover the world in lard in order to make a Lard Age.]]* EleventhHourSuperpower: [[spoiler:Milky Holmes regains their Toys at the last two episode of season 1 and 2. For that episode and that episode only.]] * [[EvenTheDogIsAshamed Even Kamabokko Is Ashamed]]: Episode 10. [[spoiler: Kamaboko returning to Sheryl and co in episode 11 marks a turning point for the Milky Holmes.]]* {{Expy}}: Don't you think that Sherlock looks like [[LuckyStar Tsukasa]]? And Kokoro is strikingly similar to [[VisualNovel/KoihimeMusou Sousou Motoku]]?** For that matter, Saku Touyama looks a lot like Luka Megurine. One of the eyecatches even shows her as [[MemeticMutation TakoLuka]].* FailureHero: All the heroes are constantly failing to stop the Gentleman Thieves. What's worse is that every lose is a major humiliation that's supposed to be funny.* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: Milky Holmes will never get their Toys back unless it's important to the plot, and even then, it's only temporary.** Their exam in episode 10 season is impossible to complete without the use of their Toys.* TheFightingNarcissist: Twenty.* {{Flanderization}}: Due to the... interesting approach of the IP holders, there are effectively two versions of Milky Holmes:** The competent version can be found in the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable PSP]] game, some of the OVA, and the spin-off ''Futari wa Milky Holmes'' where they are mentors.** The ridiculous version can be found in [[{{Anime}} the first two televised series]], this is the version known to most people (e.g. the ones that makes Milky Holmes synonymous with SoBadItsGood). * FourGirlEnsemble: Both Milky Holmes and the Genius 4.* FourIsDeath: There are four thieves serving as the primary villains.* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sherlock is sanguine, Nero is choleric, Cordelia is melancholic and Hercule is phlegmatic.* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:Buta, a minor character used only for gags up that point, becomes the greatest threat to all of Yokohama in late season two. His desire for lard threatens to drain the life out of the whole city.]]* FunbagAirbag: Sherlock gets stuck in Henriette's breasts, which are animated (at that moment) to be larger and bouncier than usual.** This becomes a ''ChekhovsGun''. [[spoiler:Sherlock realizes that Arsene's breasts are as bouncy as Henriette's. The exact same breasts, in fact.]]* GagSeries: The first anime season and second anime season. Anywhere else though, the series is more serious (as much as superhero detectives can be taken seriously).** ''Futari wa'' goes the opposite direction. In it, the eponymous characters are ''legendary'', and the new protagonists try to emulate their competence as best as they can. No more fun allowed...* GagBoobs[=/=]{{Gainaxing}}: Henriette.* GenderFlip: Episode three of season two does this in its {{eyecatch}}, providing more or less official male versions of Milky Holmes. The fanbase seems okay with it.* GenkiGirl: Sherlock.* GentlemanThief: It's a Gender-Neutral term since there are female Gentleman Thieves.* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Only in the two anime and the [=OAV=] series, doubles as serious MindScrew. Want examples?** Sheryl whipping and dripping hot wax upon Prince Pero, who is dressed in nothing but a thong.** Whenever Twenty starts overacting. Which is all the time he's onscreen.** In Season 2, Twenty[[spoiler:'s nipples are upgraded into longer ones and function like a whip.]]* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Whenever someone's toys activate.* GodIsGood: The God of [[spoiler:Lard.]]* {{Golem}}: The Sherlock Holmes statue in front of the school comes to life, jumps through the window ([[RefugeInAudacity and gets a perfect 10!]]) then possesses his granddaughter.* GondorCallsForAid: The finale sees Mary and Kate, Princess Claris, Irene, and Sonia helping the girls towards their goals, directly or indirectly.* GratuitousEnglish: Twenty uses a lot of English, like describing his "beautiful face and looks".** [[AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle "CyBWA!"]]** The driver in episode 2 of season 2.* GrayRainOfDepression: [[EmpathicEnvironment Accompanying]] Milky Holmes' DarkestHour at the end of episode 10.* GreatDetective: Genderbent, chibified, and then force-fed hallucinogenic mushrooms.* HairDecorations: Mostly notably Sherlock's ginormous ribbon in her school uniform.* {{Hammerspace}}: Rat's bombs, the C4 from Nero's test.* HarmlessFreezing: Kokoro's karma bites her this way. She uses TalkingWithSigns for her usual exasperation.* HeroicWannabe: Kazumi and Alice. They are not aware of the subtle nuances of being Detectives, and tend to run into troubles in every corners.** Anti-{{Heroic Wannabe}}: Colors the Phantom are looking to smash the implied balance of power between Gentlemen Thieves and Detectives.* HeterosexualLifePartners: "One heart in two bodies!", Mary and Kate. Which they will announce every time.* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: Kokoro.* HowWeGotHere: episode 6 of the second series.* HyperspaceArsenal: Ever since the museum episode, Kokoro can pull a golden mask out of nowhere and uses it to hit Sherlock whenever she calls her "Kokoro-chan".* IdenticalStranger: Sheryl switched with Princess Claris.* IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: The episodes also share their name with detective fiction.* IdiotHero: Milky Holmes. They are far less idiotic in ''Futari wa'' and ''TD''.* IdolSinger: Kokoro in the Summer Special. She quickly gives it up when she sees G4 and Milky Holmes need her.* IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten: Pink Phantom test [[spoiler:Kazumi]]'s thief resolve. [[spoiler:She fails, because what she truly wants is to be with Alice.]]* ImprobableWeaponUser: Kokoro uses a Golden Buddha Face to scold Sheryl.* ImTakingHerHomeWithMe: Irene stuffs Kokoro into the trunk of her father's car and then goes home. The rest of the Genius 4 don't even notice.* IncrediblyLamePun: "My dad's company is going bankrupt" can be written in Japanese as "''tousan'' no kaisha ga ''tousan''", which Irene said at some point in eps 4. This is a somewhat common pun.* InformedAbility: ''Everyone''. Milky Holmes, Genius 4, and the four thieves are all played up to be massively competent in some way or another. From what we see of them, this is, um, not the case.** Arsene finally shows she is competent in season 2. [[spoiler:When she curbstomps ''everyone'' and destroys the school by herself.]]** Milky Holmes acts competent when they ''have'' their Toys. Otherwise, they'll acts like a useless detectives and carefree high school girls* InnocentFlowerGirl: Cordelia's paradise is a flower garden, and she has flowers in her hair. Yet, it's subverted. She's probably the most demented member of Milky Holmes beneath her exterior.* InsaneTrollLogic: Sherlock's, this is part of what led Milky Holmes to their DarkestHour. Seriously, any sane human will have the FacePalm of their lives watching Sherlock's line of thought.* {{Jerkass}}: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Nero]] can be quite a bit of this at times. Which is not all that surprising, considering [[Literature/NeroWolfe who she is based on]].** Kokoro, all the time. The SickEpisode is all thanks to her.* KaizoTrap: Happens in one QuickTimeEvent; you have just told all of your little detectives to use their Toys, got back the gems, the music has stopped and the screen has turned black... before the theif jumps out of nowhere trying to fetch the gems.* KatanasAreJustBetter: Stone River.* KidDetective: The Milky Holmes.* LargeHam: Twenty, Cordelia and Cherry the artist Hercule models for.** The driver in episode 2 of Season 2.* LarynxDissonance: Arty, for some reason, is voiced by Motoki Takagi. A male voice actor.* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Milky Holmes in the end after crash forgets that Henriette is actually Arsene and apparently everything about them being detectives at the start of the second season. Hercule seems to remember some of it.]]* LaserGuidedKarma: G4 knows it's going to happen to Kokoro in episode eight, and when it does, they treat it as expected.** In fact nearly anything bad that happens to Kokoro is her fault.* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: Mori Arty, the girls' new roommate, who doesn't appear until after the credits have rolled in the finale.* LikesOlderWomen: Prince Pero fell in love with Miss Marple. It was probably the GagBoobs.* LivingWithTheVillain: Arsene/Henriette is the student council president, Stoneriver/Ishinagare is a janitor, Twenty/Mr. Nijuuri is a teacher, and Rat/Nezu is a classmate of the Milky Holmes.** And at the end of episode 12, Mori Arty becomes Milky Holmes' roommate.* LosingTheTeamSpirit: Happen amongst both Milky Holmes and the Thieves.* LovelyAngels: The protagonists of ''Futari wa'', VigilanteMan Kazumi and Alice. Their misadventures are rife with troubles, mainly because they don't have the same level of expertise as real Detectives.* LuminescentBlush: Sported almost constantly by Hercule. It's her motif.* MadBomber: Rat, though of the Three Cards, he's the most [[IgnoredEnemy ignored]].* MadeOfIron: Stoneriver* MagicSkirt: In episode 4 Sherlock and Kokoro end up buried head first in the ground, and in both cases their skirts stay upright.* MarshmallowHell: In episode 6 Sheryl actually gets stuck in Henriette's breasts and tries to struggle to get out, ''for about 20 seconds.''* MasterOfDisguise: Arsene. Her disguise even allow her to be shorter and with less body mass than her normal self.* MasterOfIllusion: Arsene again, adding to her improbable disguise skill. Not that she needs it; see PaperThinDisguise below.** Arsene [[spoiler: Illusion Toy has evolved to the point that she is now a RealityWarper.]]* MerchandiseDriven: The series is not subtle in being a glorified [[CrackIsCheaper TCG]] commercial. The main reason for new protagonists and antagonists in ''Futari wa'' is so that Bushiroad can print new cards with new characters.* MindOverMatter: Sherlock. Sherlock ''Holmes'' shows his mastery over it in episode 9.* MishmashMuseum: Yokohama Museum holds, amongst other things: a desiccated corpse of an alien, the Rosetta Stone, and Venus de Hama, the last of which is about to be stolen by Arsene.* MostDefinitelyNotAVillain: Arsene keeps denying that she is Henriette, even after her identity's been revealed.* MotorMouth: Cordelia, at times.* MouthfulOfPi: In perhaps the most extreme example, Claris (as Sherlock), only needs to say the first two digits, the ones everybody knows, to convince Milky Holmes and G4 that she isn't Sherlock.* MundaneUtility: During the BeachEpisode Stone River uses his sword as a fishing rod.* TheNapoleon: Kokoro.* NiceHat: All the girls have one in their Milky Holmes outfits, but Nero and sometimes Sherlock keep wearing it outside that. Also Twenty and Rat.* NoodleIncident: How Kokoro got beaten up is, to her annoyance, completely left out of the HowWeGotHere of s2e6 [[spoiler: until the end]].* NoOneElseIsThatDumb: See the MouthfulOfPi entry.* OddjobGods: The God of [[spoiler:Lard.]]* OffModel: Like the animation bumps, these moments will appear at random.* OhCrap: The Phantom Thieves' reaction to a psycho Milky Holmes after the former destroyed the latter's garden.* OjouRinglets[=/=]MegaTwintails: Kokoro.* OncePerEpisode: One or more members of the Milky Holmes thrown into jail. Which is hilarious, considering they are ''supposed'' to be the detectives. [[spoiler: It's made even worse that Henriette is always behind their detainment.]]* OneeSama: Cordelia (more prominent in the VisualNovel), and also Irene: even though she's ''younger'' than the detectives.** All four girls look up to Mary and Kate this way, despite the fact that they're clearly thieves.* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Arsene wants to fight Sherlock on equal terms and won't let anything else get in her way.* OnlySaneMan: Between the hilariously useless Milky Holmes, laid back G4, and over-the-top Phantom Thieves Empire, Henriette come across as the most normal character.* OpeningNarration: At the start of every episode to date.-->Toys: miracle blossoms flowering in the hearts of the chosen.-->Some bloom into flowers of purity, others into flowers of poison.-->It is the age of the {{Great Detective}}s.-->These two flowers wage war to see which is the most beautiful:-->the {{Great Detective}}s or the [[GentlemanThief Gentlemen Thieves]].** In episode 10 of the second season, which is the prelude to the climax, the scenes of the narration are replaced with [[SpoilerOpening spoilerific scenes]] of the episode itself, while still receiving the usual voiceover. Thankfully, it doesn't make any sense until one watches the episode itself.** In the next episode (Episode 11), the OpeningNarration is skipped entirely.* OralFixation: Saku has a lollipop in her mouth almost constantly.** [[SerialEscalation Once she had]] [[RuleOfThree three of them]].* PaperThinDisguise: The Thieves, in their civilian identities, make no attempt at disguising themselves or acting any differently. Milky Holmes hasn't caught on.** Taken to an extreme when Henrietta falls ill. They find the Arsene costume in her closet, ''put it on her'', and apparently even ''style her hair'' to match. Their conclusion? [[FailedASpotCheck Henrietta cosplays.]]* PetTheDog: Henriette got this when she let Milky Holmes keep Kamaboko. She gets plenty of these throughout the series.** Even after the events of [[spoiler:episode 7]] Arsene made sure that all the students [[spoiler:except Milky Holmes]] were transferred to new schools without worry.* PhantomThief: (''see GentlemanThief above'')* {{Pixellation}}: When Kokoro insults the Toy-less Milky Holmes on TV, she [[FlippingTheBird gives them the middle-finger]]... which is censored.** Sheryl's grandfather's mystery "medicine".** [[CovertPervert Hercule's]] [[EroticDream dream]].* PlayingWithFire: Rat's Fire Toy.* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Every chapter of the games. For example, in one case you forcefully open a locked door with Elly's Triascend, locate a time bomb with Cordelia's Hypersensitive, get it with Sheryl's Psychokinesis, and deactivate it with Nero's Direct Hack.* PointyHairedBoss: Kokoro is the Apparent leader of G4.* ThePowerOfFriendship: Lampshaded, played straight, ''and'' parodied.** Absolutely [[DefiedTrope DEFIED]] in episode 4, with a huge bribe of bananas.* PowersViaPossession: In episode nine, the girls get possessed by the ghosts of their grandfathers and Cordelia's grandmother (the famous detectives for which they are named) and gain some of their physical attributes in addition to their brainpower.* PrinceAndPauper: Sherlock and her body double, Queen Claris, swap places for a day so Claris can get out of marriage.* PsychicPowers: The Toys.* RealityIsOutToLunch: When Henrietta[[spoiler:/Arsene's]] power is out of control due to a combination of sickness and Sheryl's very poisonous looking medicine. Everyone in the vicinity is suddenly put into a bizarre version of ''Momotaro''. And the effect stays for sometime for the thieves.* RealPlaceBackground: Season 2 episode 6 takes them to Kamakura by train, passing Enoshima island along the way, however the Great Buddha statue has been replaced by a meditating Great Detective.* RedArmbandOfLeadership: Worn by Kokoro.* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted with Hercule.* RodentsOfUnusualSize: The Yokohama forests are home to bears and these in the form of giant lemmings.* RoomFullOfCrazy: What Cordelia draws during her short imprisonment includes, amongst other things, depiction of herself as [[JeanneDArchetype Jeanne d'Arc]].* RunningGag: Kokoro [[InflationaryDialogue adding a zero]] every time she states her IQ.* SealedEvilInACan: The aptly named, Pandora's Pot.* SequelHook: The introduction of Mori Arty. [[AbortedArc It's never referred again later.]]* ShirtlessScene: Twenty just can't keep his shirt on. Even though he's the girls' teacher.-->'''Twenty''': You girls are just like my shirt, pathetic.* ShoutOut: Episode eight has the [[Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman Toys Ninja Magic - Phoenix!]], a combined attack out of nowhere.** [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Everywhere during the ecstasy episode.]]** A ''Anime/GalaxyAngelRune'' eyecatch shows up, with G4 in the Angels' place.** In episode four, Sheryl singing the La-La theme from ''Manga/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind''.*** The same episode references [[Anime/TheCastleOfCagliostro another Miyazaki work]] near the end. After Kokoro gets "[[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe taken home]]", Hirano remarks that Irene "stole something quite precious. Our Kokoro...[[UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics -san]]". [[DontExplainTheJoke Because in the original line the precious thing was a heart]]. [[IncrediblyLamePun And "Kokoro" is Japanese for "heart"]].** In episode 7 of season 1, Sher and Nero stumble upon figurines of [[Music/{{AKB48}} AKG49]].*** Also the giant squid from the same episode looks a lot like a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Blooper]].** The OVA is full of it, including Sheryl making remark how the room is lonely without Kokoro, which is a parody of the [[{{Uncancelled}} (not-)ending]] of ''Anime/{{Doraemon}}''. Of course, the room is cramped with other characters and isn't anywhere close to lonely.** In the {{Eyecatch}} of episode two of Season Two, Saki looks like a certain [[ShinryakuIkaMusume invader from the sea]].*** In the same episode the diplomat, after his truck is lifted in the air. Says [[Film/ETTheExtraterrestrial Diplomat Phone Home]].*** At the end when The Phantom Thief Empire are thrown back in jail, right next door there are a bunch of pirates, which includes [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Jack Sparrow]], [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Captain Marvelous]], an yellow octopus with a [[OnePiece straw hat]]... and a Pop Up Pirate.** Episode 4 of season 2 features an a appearance by [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Eva Unit 2]]. Kinda.** Episode 5: "[[Anime/StrikeWitches Those are trousers! They're fine! I'm not embarrassed!]]"*** G4's bomb disposal robot bears a striking resemblance to ''WesternAnimation/WallE''.** In Episode 6 Manga/{{Golgo 13}} makes an appearance, Tsugiko is wearing a ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka]]''-inspired outfit and holding a [[Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Raising Heart]] knockoff, Hirano has a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Face Hugger]], [[WesternAnimation/WallE Poporo]] makes another appearance...** In Episode 7 of Season Two we have the [[Literature/TheBible Last Supper]] [[spoiler:before Arsene destroys the school.

Milky Holmes gets sick (it's all Kokoro's fault) and Henriette takes care of them. Then she gets sick. Then things get ''weird''.* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: The eponymous are often at the ''brutal'' end of the slapstick routine.* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Nero is suddenly wearing glasses while reading a book for a single gag in episode 5.* SmashingWatermelons: Tsugiko is attempting to do this in episode seven, but Sherlock gets in the way and gets a CranialEruption.* StandingInTheHall: In episode two, though everyone foists their buckets on Cordelia.* StatusQuoIsGod: Milky Holmes regains their toys in episode 12, but loses them immediately after the battle.* StealthMentor: Henriette/Arsene.* StevenUlyssesPerhero: All the thieves' human names are rather obvious giveaways for their code names.* TheStoic: Saku.* StudentCouncilPresident: Henriette.* StupidityInducingAttack: The Failure Toy, one of the most dangerous toy around is capable of turning everyone into complete failures. Doesn't work on the Milky Holmes, because they are already complete failures.* SuperSenses: Cordelia.* SuperStrength: Hercule.* TakenForGranite: Stoneriver's Toy. To be precise, he temporarily turns them into mannequins.* TakingTheHeat: Cordelia sacrifices herself rather than let Kamaboko, who she believes to be the one thing gelling the girls together, be thrown out. Her innocence is proved and the cat is allowed, though her brief time in prison did involve Cordelia drawing a RoomFullOfCrazy.* TeamMom: Tsugiko is this to G4 in the game. She watches out for the other members of her team and is always the first in line to discipline Kokoro whenever she gets out of line.* TeamPet: Kamaboko, the cat Sherlock finds and brings home.* {{Technopath}}: Nero.* TeenGenius: Kokoro constantly mentions that she graduated from Harvard at 13, but compared to what Irene pulls off, she's laughably incompetent.* TeruTeruBozu: The girls hang up a bunch of these during a heavy rainstorm. Sherlock also hangs up herself.* ThemeMusicPowerUp: When the girls finally get their Toys back, the OP kicks in to help them.* ThisIsADrill: There a guy actually called Drill.* ThisLoserIsYou: Milky Holmes pretty much.

The girls fail to defuse it.* TomboyishName: Our heroine "Sherlock" is just one of many, since the girls tend to have names that reference famous (male) detectives.* '''TooDumbToLive''': Sherlock, but especially in episode 10. It's the last straw for everyone. [[spoiler: Even Arsene, who was awed with her altruism, got fed up with her.]]* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Arsene and her three followers show off how much more powerful they are in Season 2 when they she fights them.]] [[spoiler:Arsene wins.]]* VagueAge: According to the Milky Holmes Twitter, Sherlock and Nero are 15, Hercule is 16, Cordelia 17, and Henriette? "You should never ask a lady her age." She's young enough to be the student council president, but is also an established PhantomThief...* VerbalTic: Sherlock uses "desu" quite often.* VillainousBreakdown: Arsene, thanks to Sheryl. And no, it's not because Sheryl is a competent detective. [[spoiler:Exactly the inverse, actually.]]** She gets an even worse one in season two. [[spoiler:And this time, leaves and disbands the school for good.]]* VisibleSigh* WaifFu: Hirano, and in the episode 9 of the second season she is shown practicing martial arts at a dojo.* WhatTheHellHero: Henriette gives this to Milky Holmes '''every episode''' in season 2.* TheWorfEffect: Genius Four (and the rest of the Yokohama detectives) are easily defeated by the Thieves Empire in episode 11.* WorthyOpponent: Henriette was willing to put Milky Holmes through all that trouble to return and strengthen their Toys so she could face them on equal footing.* YouAreWorthHell: [[spoiler:Kazumi wants to be with Alice no matter what-- it matters not whether Alice is a Detective or a Thief. Fortunately, Alice choose to be a Detective.]]* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Sherlock's shocking pink hair is the most glaring example.* YuriFan: Cordelia's "Garden of Flowers" delusions have strong Yuri undertones (and overtones).* ZettaiRyouiki: Members of G4, except Saku.----

All HYMS students are based at either Hull or York in their first two years.
Students choosing HYMS as their Firm choice on UCAS will be allocated to a campus at the beginning of May. You will then be sent details on how to apply for accommodation at your allocated campus. Students only need to apply for accommodation at the campus to which they are allocated.
The University of Hull offers many different types of accommodation, including catered halls of residence, self-catering on-campus flats, and self-catering university-owned student houses. A number of residences are specially adapted for students with disabilities. Prices begin from £72.95 per week for a student house (self-catered).
The following accommodation options are suitable for HYMS students based at the University of Hull:
New on-campus accommodation for 560 students will be available from September 2016. This new accommodation will include standard rooms in 8 bedroom flats, deluxe rooms in 4 bedroom flats and stunning one-bedroom rooftop apartments. 41 week let lengths are recommended for HYMS students.
If you're based at York, you will become a member of one of the University's eight undergraduate colleges which all have extensive on-campus accommodation. So you will never be far from lectures, the library, catering outlets and student bars.
Prices for 2016/17 range from £106 to £173 per week. There is a mixture of catered and self-catered accommodation available and just under half the rooms have ensuite facilities. As well as your study bedroom and shared kitchen, you will also be close to a range of facilities such as bars, cafes, dining halls, common rooms and study areas.

CAREER DESCRIPTION: Makeup Artist
In general, makeup artists apply makeup to performers to reflect period, setting, and situation of their role.
Makeup artists furnish performers with makeup removal assistance after performances have been completed. They also study production data, such as character descriptions and situations in order to establish makeup requirements. Equally important, makeup artists have to alter or maintain makeup during productions as needed to compensate for lighting changes or to produce continuity of effect. They are often called upon to evaluate environmental characteristics such as venue size and lighting plans in order to establish makeup requirements. They are expected to examine sketches and plaster models so as to obtain desired character image depictions. Finally, makeup artists develop character drawings or models, based upon independent research, so as to augment period production files.
Every day, makeup artists are expected to be able to distinguish between colors. They need to articulate ideas and problems. It is also important that they see details at a very fine level of focus.
It is important for makeup artists to cleanse and tone the skin in order to ready it for makeup application. They are often called upon to layout rubber or plastic prostheses that can be used to change performers' appearances. They also demonstrate products to patrons, and furnish instruction in makeup application. They are sometimes expected to advise hairdressers on the hairstyles required for character parts. Somewhat less frequently, makeup artists are also expected to cleanse and tone the skin in order to ready it for makeup application.
Makeup artists sometimes are asked to establish budgets, and work within budgetary limits. They also have to be able to requisition or acquire needed materials for special effects and special cosmetics And finally, they sometimes have to evaluate environmental characteristics such as venue size and lighting plans in order to establish makeup requirements.
Like many other jobs, makeup artists must be reliable and be thorough and dependable.

Hey Todd, Thanks again for the videos! I'm not sure if you're planning on showing this in another video or not, but is there a way for me to have the profile activate only some of the services for people. For example, I only want some people to have access to email, but I can't seem to figure out how to get Profile Manager to not automatically set it up for them.

I have another torch that i can use , proplem is how do i get the information from this phone using the desk top software it will not link to the phone. If some one can help me get this one going or help me get the info from this one.
Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
Like insurance, backups are neither a reactive nor optional activity...if you cannot get your BB running again, you cannot take a backup from it now. Only by performing regular proactive backup processes can one be protected from this type of situation.
Good luck and let us know!

Maker: Gorham Manufacturing Company (American, 1831–present)
Date: 1880
Geography: Made in Providence, Rhode Island, United States
Culture: American
Medium: Silver and copper
Dimensions: 9 in. (22.9 cm)
Classification: Silver
Credit Line: Purchase, Judy and John M. Angelo and Robert L. and Ann R. Fromer Gifts, 2008
Accession Number: 2008.68
This vase is a classic example of the Anglo-Japanese style, featuring the use of mixed metals and ornamental motifs drawn from the natural world. Two copper medallions inserted into the vase's honeycomb surface depict an owl on its perch beside a crescent moon and a bird in flight. Above the foot, silver and copper foliage springs from a granulated ground, while copper birds and insects are applied around the body as if by chance, in the Japanese fashion.
Inspired by imports of Japanese fine and decorative arts, American designers of the 1870s and 1880s experimented with materials and techniques, striving to incorporate Japanese sensibilities into their own aesthetic visions. Particularly influential were prints by the Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849), a group of which were acquired by the Gorham Manufacturing Company as inspiration for its designers. Innovative British artists such as Christopher Dresser (1834–1904) and firms such as Elkington and Company of Birmingham, England, further excited American interest in the Anglo-Japanese style that characterizes Aesthetic movement metalwork at its most successful.
