Line 15:
* [[Art Evolution]] -- The first three chapters were drawn for the later closed magazine ''Comic Gyutto!''. It was later picked up by ''Manga Time Kirara Carat''. The break was less than a year but the change in drawing style between is noticeable.
* [[Art Imitates Art|Art Students Imitate Art]] -- On a trip to a museum, two of the more famous works are referenced. Noda does "[[Thinker Pose|The Thinker]]", and Professor and Kisaragi duet "[[Pieta Plagiarism|La Pieta]]".
* [[Bland -Name Product]] -- When Noda wanted to refer to the marks of Louis Vuitton and Cartier in Episode 1, it was blurred over.
* [[Blank White Eyes]]--Nodamiki has them ''by default.''
* [[Book Dumb]] -- Of course there's Kisaragi, but then there was one strip that the college-prep stream student Uozomi observed GA's non-art curriculum is far less rigourous than his, indirectly implying ''all'' students in GA (at least Awara) are this.
Line 49:
** Also, let down Kisaragi's hair and give her Professor's hair color and personality, and you've got [[Shoulder a Coffin Kuro|Kuro]].
* [[The Faceless]] -- The viewer never gets to see the face of Nodamiki's older sister.
* [[Five -Man Band]]-- The Art Club shows elements of this.
** [[The Hero]]: Awara.
** [[The Lancer]]: Uozomi, sometimes Sasamoto-sensei.
Line 90:
* [[Running Gag]] -- Every episode begins with the appearance of the word "hajimaru" (はじまる - "it's starting") in one way or the other.
* [[Schoolgirl Series]] -- The series includes mainly focuses on the group of five girls (Tomokane, Namiko, Noda, Oomichi, and Kisaragi).
* [[Self -Deprecation]] -- In one of the bonus strips in volume 3 Noda and Tomokane are seen looking at GA volume 1 and saying they don't feel like reading it because they don't like the art.
* [[Sentai]] -- Irodorunger! Tomokane is Red, Namiko is Yellow, Noda is Magenta, Kisaragi is Cyan and Professor is Monochrome.
** More Sentai elements are added in episode nine, including a full [[In the Name of The Moon|roll call]] and a makeshift [[Humongous Mecha]].
Line 97:
** Masa and Kisaragi have cosplayed as [[Yggdra Union|young Roswell and Rosary]] in one of the manga's color explanations.
* [[Sibling Rivalry]] -- Tomokane can't hide her disdain towards her older brother due to unfulfilled [[Sibling Rivalry]], which boils down to...
* [[Sibling Yin -Yang]] -- While the case of [[Bokukko]] versus [[Non -Action Guy]] didn't seem too out of ordinary, their parents thought her older brother was [[Ill Boy|too ill]] for her to make a physical response--as a result, while she kept being pwned at home, she gets more gratification outdoors. Like being a [[Delinquent]].
* [[Sick Episode]] -- the last episode of the anime, when Namiko was sick. She just have the uncanny ability to predict exactly what's going to happen...
* [[Strange Minds Think Alike]] -- Kisaragi at first tells Noda to stop narrating a conversation between two people she sees out the window. Then Professor, normally one of the serious ones, is doing the ''exact same thing''.
Line 109:
** More specifically, {{spoiler|Professor, who can somehow speak to chickens, finds an abandoned newborn chick and decides to take care of it. It dies soon after, and she reveals to Kisaragi that she knew it would die all along, but she wanted to keep it comfortable until the very end. The next day, the two of them go to the chicken coop and find a whole brood of chicks, which the mother hen had been caring for.}}
* [[Terrible Artist]] -- Homura, especially evident in the [[Storybook Episode]] discussed above. [[media:GA-Homura-witch.jpg|Or maybe an example now.]]
* [[Too Long; Didn't Dub|Too Long, Didn't Dub]] -- Yen Press' translation has the tendency to do this, including ''the title''. The Japanese side already made a fully acceptable English title ''GA: Art Department Art Design Class''; but ''Geijutsuka'' is kept untranslated in the English release. At least they add notes in between panels to translate signs, covers, written words, and other miscellaneous text that's part of the art instead of the print.
** [[Sarcasm Mode|Yeah, because ''GA: Art Department Art Design Class'' really rolls off the tongue.]]
** On the plus side, "Geijutsuka" does make it easier to search for and know the results are probably what you're looking for.
Line 120:
'''Noda''': Everyone's so quick to jump to conclusions. }}
** Sort of subverted, as that blob was intended to be a reverse canvas.
* [[Twelve -Episode Anime]] -- Followed up by an OVA in the DVD-releases.
* [[Two -Teacher School]] -- Averted. GA-1 has homeroom Satoma and co-homeroom Usami, and GA-3 has Sasamoto as their homeroom--who also supervises the Art Club. GA-2's homeroom Morita also shown up in one scene and so have the principal and the school nurse.
* [[Uncanny Family Resemblance]] -- The Tomokane siblings not only look alike-- [[media:[[The Tomokanes]].jpg|Nodamiki one said the older Tomokane as a "bleached Tomokane-kun" in episode 12]]-- but both were voiced by [[Miyuki Sawashiro]], hence upgrading from [[Strong Family Resemblance]] to this.
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]] -- [[Lampshade|lampshaded]]. the girl discussed why [[Western Animation]] have an [[Amazing Technicolor Population]] while [[Anime]] would rather have this-- and to break the [[Fourth Wall]], the shot showed their hair colours: Kisaragi is dark brown, Professor is black, Tomokane is green, Noda is pink, and Namiko is medium brown. By the way, Awara is reddish brown, Mizubuchi is black, Uozomi is blueish black, and Homura is blond. Also, Yoshikawa is blond and Mitsui is blue.
