History Manga / ChroniclesOfTheGoingHomeClub

* TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers: Sakura introduces her fellow club members: Botan is a skilled martial arts prodigy; Claire a rich {{Ojou}}; and Sakura herself, whose inheritance is her grandmother's scissors.

* ArtShift: Apparently because Claire depleted the episode's budget with close-ups of herself, a nearly 10 second period near the end of episode one is aired as storyboards.

* BloodKnight: Botan, who simply had to fight the brown bear because it was the largest animal in japan, and then went further north to fight the grizzly and polar bear because the brown bear was too easy.

* CloudCuckooland: The Going Home Club is this, with the exception of the obligatory StraightMan, Natsuki.

* FunWithAcronyms: In episode four, the characters discuss what the fire safety acronym "PRD" (No Pushing, Running, or Discussion) stands for. Karin suggests "No Pushing, Running, or Dying," and Botan suggests "Past misdeeds Revealed for your Destruction," which is itself given the acronym "PASTRY" later during the show.

* IdiotHair: Natsuki has one and it's huge. Seriously, it's compared to a Parasaurolophus' crest. The girls discuss it in length during episode 8 while sleeping over at Natsuki's.

* NoFourthWall: This is the source of much of this show's comedy. It's debatable whether a fourth wall was present to begin with. For instance, Natsuki calls out the characters out for making too much work for the animators, and eventually the episode's budget is depleted and the storyboards are aired instead.

--->'''Sakura:''' The song was written in the nineteenth century. The composer died more than fifty years ago, which means we can use it in our show without paying any royalties to the composer's estate!

* StraightMan: Natsuki. It gets {{lampshaded}} and invoked as well.
-->'''Botan:''' Even in the pictures she uploads herself, she includes retorts. She's so dedicated.

* TalkingAnimal: The seal mascot interacts with the characters and addresses the audience on occasion. It isn't clear which side of the fourth wall it belongs on...

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Natsuke delivers a flying chop to her brother's throat when he accidentally insults Claire.

* EconomyCast: Among the characters left out of the anime was a girl named Okada, who was the soccer team's manager that karin almost replaced.

* CriticalResearchFailure: [[invoked]] PlayedForLaughs in episode four, when Claire suggests that the anime will be retooled into a "social battles of wits" between rich and powerful families, but the writers don't know anything about this, and are unable to provide even enough dialogue for Claire to explain the premise.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: ''[[UsefulNotes/StockDinosaursTrueDinosaurs Parasaurolophus]]'' and its crest is used as a BrickJoke in Episode 3.

* ColdOpening: Inverted, Sakura and the others try to air the ending twice only to be stopped by Natsuki.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Sakura modified hers, which is why her skirt is a bit shorter than the others, such as Botan's.

* ThemeTuneCameo: In the anime, Sakura hums the themes occasionally; using the first ending theme during the musical chairs game and at the start of episode 7 while getting dressed for school, and the opening theme when she's walking on the street before seeing a street poet.

** An Facebook stand-in shows up in episode three.

* FauxHorrific: Used in a skit during episode 10. Sakura finishes telling a scary story, and Botan mentions for every hundredth story, they blow out a candle on the table. Since they're on the last one, Karin wonders what's going to happen next. Sakura then explains [[spoiler:that animating the scene will be a lot easier. The seal mascot then does a scream as if terrified.]]

* BerserkButton: Do not try to take away Karin from Botan and Claire. [[TemptingFate The soccer team tried this.]] [[BringMyBrownPants It wasn't pretty.]]

* ToastOfTardiness: Along with CrashIntoHello, this is parodied in episode five, complete with toast.

* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs with Claire, who will develop DullEyesOfUnhappiness if anyone tries to take Karin away from her. She even called for a sniper in episode 10 during the soccer match, but calls them off after they win the soccer match.

* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being a straightman, Natsuki carries around a handpuppet of herself in episodes 1 and 3.

* [[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]]: [[spoiler:Natsuki is this to Lloyd.]]
