[[caption-width-right:350:The adventures of the Hero Club start here!]]

Mizuki Hijiri's hopes for a peaceful high school life are dashed when she transfers into a new school and gets entangled in the shenanigans of the Hero Club, a group of students affected by ''{{chuunibyou}}'' syndrome. Her new friends include {{superhero}} fan Yamato Noda, 2D-girls obsessed {{otaku}} Tomoki Takashima, the supposed "reincarnation" of an angel or a devil Kazuhiro Nakamura, and self-proclaimed schemer Rei Tsukumo. The Hero Club has decided that Mizuki is one of their own and involve her, often against her will, in their activities to help other students with their problems.

----
!!''Outburst Dreamer Boys'' contains examples of:
* AffectionateParody: Of characters with serious Chuunibyou tendencies.
** Nakamura is one for fantasy heroes TrappedInAnotherWorld.
* AscendedFanboy: Takashima is a fan of the virtual girl iSora or "Sora-chan" and when he attends an iLive of her, he meets the real person playing iSora on stage. Takashima calls him a master and instantly becomes a fan of him. Then when the guy isn't able to perform again, Takashima takes his place and plays iSora on stage.
* BookSmart: Nakamura is mentioned to have top grades and even called a brainiac by Hijiri's stalker.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Eccentric as they might be, the Hero Club is pretty good at what they do, as seen when they help Mizuki earn a real friend and Nanako in getting rid of her stalker.
* CatScare: When the Hero club members go to investigate the mystery behind the thing causing chaos at their school, they think a monster or so would show up just for it to be an iguana, then a suspenseful moment again and Nakamura's parakeet comes out, then in the [[OverlyLongGag third time]] Benjamin the cat shows up. The thing behind the accidents turns out to be a penguin on the loose.
* CharacterTics: Nakamura has a habit of adjusting his glasses for added coolness.
* ChromosomeCasting: Hijiri and Nanako start out as the only truly relevant girls, but later on in the series they acquire an ElegantGothicLolita as well to add to the craziness.
* ClassRepresentative: Nanako Watase, Mizuki's OnlyFriend outside the Hero Club.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: The Hero Club, of course. Only one of them hides this by being a ClosetOtaku.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Save for Mizuki, everyone is odd and acts in a silly manner ranging from Nakamura who thinks like he's in a fantasy world, and Takashima who's only into 2D girls to Noda who's obsessed with live-action works and names the club members based on the Franchise/SuperSentai colors.
* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: More like the cuckoolanders were right, but when the Hero club warns Mizuki that someone is trying to hurt her she doesn't believe them at first and yells at them to leave her alone. Turns out Hijiri's stalker was really targeting her after all.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: With the exception of Tsukumo and Nakamura, all of the main characters have eye colors that match with their hair.
* DeadpanSnarker: Mizuki often makes witty remarks about the other character's eccentric behavior.
* DoItYourselfThemeTune: "Outburst Dreamer Boys" as a CoverVersion is performed by all of the male members of the Minakami High School Hero Club.
* {{Fanboy}}: Takashima is a fan of the 2D girl iSora and he's seen crying while cheering with lightsticks when he attends a live performance of her.
* FowlMouthedParrot: Faust, Nakamura's parakeet, is prone to saying "shut up, imbecile."
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Takashima is blonde and he generally has a pure and friendly personality. When he helps a lost child find her mother he cheers her up by singing an iSora song to her and giving her an iSora charm.
* IncomingHam: The moment Nakamura steps into a scene, it's bound to be dramatic and exaggerated as hell. He even has his own background music.
* {{Keet}}: Out of all members, Noda is the most cheerful one with the loudest and highest voice.
* MagicalEye: [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by Noda. The Hero Club thinks Mizuki has one hidden behind her eyepatch. It's just an eye infection.
* MythologyGag: Multiple different references are made to Vocaloid songs, rerulili's discography, or the original "Outburst Dreamer Boys" song, due to the series' origin as a rerulili Vocaloid composition:
** Nanako informs Hijiri that she can also choose Vocaloid songs at the local karaoke joint, and seems interested in "Spinal Fluid Explosion Girl" being on the setlist (another song-turned-adaptation composed by rerulili).
** The poses the five boys do in the opening are all the poses their original designs had in the original PV. The black silhouettes are also how they're shown in that video up until the end.
** An answering machine message Hijiri receives is taken from the break in "Outburst Dreamer Boys". Similar messages have been left in many of rerulili's "Girl/Boy" songs.
-->"The number you have reached is out of range or turned off. Calls will not be accepted unless from cute girls."
* LargeHam: Nakamura constantly talks and behaves like he's a magical being reincarnated into this world with fancy language. He acts like he has powers sealed in his right hand and acts dramatically most of the time. Him wearing gloves adds to his hamminess.
** He lets himself get soaked in the rain in episode 2 while showing up to play Hijiri's fake boyfriend just for dramatics.
* NewTransferStudent:
** Mizuki at the beginning starts as one and makes it her goal to make friends and live a peaceful school life.
** There's also Mikuriya who came from America and joined class [[AlwaysInClassOne 1-C]] in episode 4.
* OnlySaneMan: Mizuki much to her misfortune is one in a cast full of cloudcuckoolanders, she has no problem pointing out the fact that [[SurroundedByIdiots they're all hopeless idiots]].
* OpaqueNerdGlasses: The Student Council members are seen wearing them and they take their club very seriously.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Hijiri not complaining about being called Pink by Noda means that she's not her usual self.
* PrettyBoy: It's mentioned several times that Takashima has good looks. Same goes for Mikuriya.
* ShoutOut:
** The Hero club is based on Franchise/SuperSentai and Noda even calls the members by the colors of the rangers in the franchise. They even have a scene where they're in a theme park and there's an area where they have a show called "Blasto Rangers" where they're dressed as the rangers and do their SuperSentaiStance.
** [[Manga/DeathNote Nakamura has a notebook where anyone's name written there will die]].
* SixthRanger: Mikuriya joins the Hero club by the end of episode 4, becoming their literal 6th member and matching their ''Super Sentai'' theme.
* SmugSmiler: Tsukumo is constantly shown smirking due to his arrogant personality.
* TamerAndChaster: Takashima compared to his original design in the PV is quite a different boy. The PV associates him with sex and vulnerability, as he's seen in intimate situations with a similarly vulnerable girl at different points and his verse also includes condom imagery. Takashima, on the other hand, is a very pure, virginal boy with an interest only in 2-D. Even the context of his pose is changed; the anime adds a phone screen with his beloved Sora-chan on it.
* TwelveEpisodeAnime: The anime ran for only 11 episodes.
* TheUnSmile: When Tsukumo tries to smile as he gets appointed to work for the children's area in a theme park, his smile looks scary.
* WingdingEyes: Happens multiple times.
** When Noda prevents Mizuki from leaving by spinning them both around, her eyes turn into spirals while his turn into stars.
** Noda's eyes generally turn into stars whenever he's super excited.
