204	!!Tropes Associated with JC Staff:
205
206	* BlackComedy: ''Prison School''.
207	* DerangedAnimation: In ''Excel Saga'' and ''Puni Puni Poemi''.
208	* {{Fanservice}}: Got a reputation for this for a time, largely due to ''Eiken'', ''Ikki Tousen'', ''Maburaho'', and ''Familiar of Zero''. Their recent work isn't as heavy on it, for the most part.
209	* HaremSeries: ''Ai Yori Aoshi'', ''Eiken'', ''Maburaho'', ''Zero no Tsukaima''.
210	* LaserGuidedKarma: Hilariously, they used to be known for making shows that feature girls with huge breasts above all else, but [[Literature/ShakuganNoShana every]] [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex single]] [[Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero one]] [[Literature/{{Toradora}} of]] [[Literature/AriaTheScarletAmmo their]] [[Manga/DreamEaterMerry most]] [[Manga/HayateTheCombatButler popular]] [[Anime/TanteiOperaMilkyHolmes anime]] [[Literature/OkamiSan series]] [[Literature/HeavensMemoPad nowadays]] has a flat chested tsundere girl as its most popular and/or leading girl. ALL OF THEM.
211	* MagicalGirl: ''Okusama Wa Mahou Shoujo''. Parodied in ''Puni Puni Poemi''.
212	* PlayingAgainstType: J.C. Staff, unlike some of the Japanese studios such as Creator/ToeiAnimation and Creator/TMSEntertainment, rarely lent their talents to U.S. productions, preferring to work on their own country's output. The sole exception was an episode of Disney's ''The Little Mermaid''.
