Japanese School Club: Difference between revisions

→‎Anime and Manga: Deleted "Competition to get members (and thus stay viable) is a common theme of high-school-club-based anime." from the Kamichu! example - while true in general, it doesn't apply to this particular show. Also added Kokoro Connect to the example list, and did other minor cleanup

Line 20:
** Arimi is a membress of the track team in her and Tsutomu's school.
* The ''amefuto'' (American-style football) team in ''[[Eyeshield 21]]''.
* The Magic UsersUser's Club in ''[[MahouMagic TsukaitaiUser's Club]]''.
* The school chorus in ''[[Please Save My Earth]]''. (Also, the "moon club.")
* The Auto Club (and dozens of others) in ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]''.
Line 34:
* In ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', Fuyuki was the president and only member of Kissho Academy's Occult Club until Momoka joined. This was lampshaded in an episode where the school was going to disband the club unless they could turn up something interesting to present to the school.
* All members of the "Go Home Club" in ''[[Kare Kano]]'' are forcibly conscripted to participate in a play for the school culture festival.
* Sakura's cheerleading squad in ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]''. Meanwhile, her best friend Tomoyo is a member of the school chorus and at least two episodes are about ehrher having trouble whiewhile either practising her songs or getting ready for singing competitions.
** An episode of the anime has Sakura hanging around a girl from the track club, Rei, who has unadvertedlyinadvertently come ingained the possession of a Clow Card.
* Nayuki's track team in ''[[Kanon]]''.
* Tamami's Occult Club in ''[[Mahoraba]]''.
* ''[[Hitohira]]'' focuses on two rival clubs, the Drama Club and the Drama Research Society. As in ''Genshiken'', it seems schools are uncomfortable with overlap, and the two must compete to stay official.
* The calligraphy club in ''[[Kamichu!]]''. The club holds its activities on the school roof, because it has only one member and thus doesn't rate a club room. Competition to get members (and thus stay viable) is a common theme of high-school-club-based anime.
** ''Zegapain'' also has an example of the one-member school club, in this case, the swimming club.
* ''[[Pretty Cure]]'' never forgets about clubs.
Line 60:
* The Movie Study Club in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', aka "[[Lampshade|YourTube]]". They don't actually study movies, instead filming funny short films featuring students and staff. This being a [[Gag Series]], and its three main members [[Those Two Guys|Those Three Girls]], they get plenty of material.
* The Art Club in ''[[Sketchbook]]''.
* ''[[Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan|Bludgeoning Angel Dokurochan]]'': Dokuro-chan forms a student club called the "wood glue club". In this club, you watch white wood glue dry and turn transparent. She wants to make it to the nationals. It's implied that she physically tortured a teacher to approve the club—the approval form is signed in blood and wet with tears.
* ''[[Eiken]]'' is named after the club the protagonists are part of, which is essentially [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything|The Club That Doesn't Do Anything]].
* The Yamayurikai in ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru|Marimite]]'' probably falls under the [[Absurdly Powerful Student Council]] it's notable that several characters do double duty with other clubs. Rei is the [[Kendo Team Captain]] and Yoshino joins the kendo club in her second year. Touko is also a member of the Drama Club and while not formally a member of the Yamayurikai at the time, her agreeing to help them with their play at the [[School Festival]] is a source of some conflict. The Photography Club also gets some coverage courtesy of Yumi's friend Tsutako.
Line 83:
{{quote|'''Kendo (?) club member:''' Want to try whacking people with a stick?
'''Judo (?) club member:''' Care to try throwing people?}}
* ''[[Kokoro Connect]]'' is set in a school literature club, but is not about the club - instead, it's about the club members and their personal ordeals.
