Expected the club battlefront from Angel Beats. Even if it wasn't an "approved" club, given their stated purpose. (None of these other clubs had a spoiler[factory city under their school running guns to them]).

Edit: honorable mention to the igo-soccer club in Nichijou as well. Calvinball ftw!

Overall a pretty nice list round up this week that was enjoyable to read. I know that the school club premise can wear thin on some, but i still find it to be entertaining Sadly you left one school club that deserves a mention is the after school club in Higurashi.

Holstien Clubs Exist
Mostly they are county or regional based.

I was a member of the junior Holstein Association, and some people are that obsessed with the black and white breed,

Other breed associations have junior organizations but they are broken down by states or parishes (for Jerseys)

What about that club in Birdy the Mighty: Decode? The one where its purpose is to explore abandoned buildings and similar modern "ruins"? I thought that was pretty bizarre.

In the UK they are known as Friesians

How is that weird? Urban exploration is totally a thing.

Just because someone gave it a title like "urban exploration" doesn't mean it's not weird. Fascination with abandoned buildings *is* wierd. Most people aren't interested in such things, and certainly don't feel the urge to go spelunking through such places.

Most people don't feel urge to watch cartoon and read comics- exploring abandoned place goes in the same vein of never growing up from childhood fascination.

I don't disagree with your overall statement, but as someone who didn't read comic books at all until she was in college, I have to disagree with considering comic books a "childhood fascination."

That Lychee Light Club is...rather misogynistic.

The underwear club in Chu-Bra is rather bizarre.

If you think those clubs are bad, then you should check out the new season of Genshiken (or even worse, the gag dub of it: GenshiGrads!)

For bizarre school clubs, the Chupacabra Research Club from Negima!? came to mind.

Negima had a bunch of odd student activity groups. I particularly liked the Library Exploration Club, although the students involved weren't particularly odd.

The Lion King is based off of Shakespeare's Henry IV (or V , cant remember) moreso than Hamlet.

Don't remember a part in the Lion King where Nala goes insane/drowns herself
