100+ Anime About School Clubs, Sorted By Club Activity

There is no shortage of anime series that focus on the various antics of school clubs. It really is an easy framing device to quickly bind a series of characters together, even if they are different people who normally might not be in the same social circles. From there, the story can transform into anything from comedy and slice of life to slaying literal gods after school.

Seeing as there are so many school club-based anime series out there, I figured it might be helpful to list them all out and sort them by activity. This way, if you are interested in particular kinds of clubs, you can actually find them in one place.

The singular criteria for this list is that the series must have the club and club members as a central element of the plot, not just school children who happen to also be in an arbitrary club they happen to visit off-screen sometimes.
