* The entirety of the ''Literature/GJBu'' anime takes place in the exact same club room with the exact same characters every episode, but this trope goes into full effect during the OVA when the characters visit New York City. Literally no changes are made to the set piece other than the New York skyline outside the club room window.

It has all the classic elements of a bottle episode: single location (which in this case is reused to portray different rooms/sections), heavy interpersonal conflict between the actors, and an artificially created sense of danger and claustrophobia.
