When she was a kid, Minoa Asagaya saw an anime that she instantly fell in love with. As an ordinary high school student, Minoa still wonders about that anime, but can't remember its title. The resident rich girl, Arisu Kamiigusa, is a closet otaku with almost encyclopedic knowledge about anime, but not even she can identify the anime Minoa describes.Together, they decide to reopen their school's anime club, both because they love anime and to see if anyone else can assist Minoa in her search. Joining Minoa and Arisu are light novel enthusiast Miko Kōenji, cosplay expert Erika Aoyama, the eccentric Kai Musashisakai, and idol lover Kouki Nakano. Minoa is very new to the anime scene, so she learns a lot about anime, the industry that makes it, and the fans that consume it.However, there's something strange about their club room: set in one side of its walls is a large wooden door. When Minoa first opens it, a talking cat tumbles out. Dubbed Neko-senpai by Minoa, the cat warns her to never open the door again, though he doesn't specify why. Combined with a mysterious barrette, it seems like Minoa's anime journey will be quite the adventure.Anime-Gataris (アニメガタリズ, lit. "Anime-Chats") is a comedy anime made by WaoWorld. It aired during the Fall 2017 season, and is available for streaming on Crunchyroll. The English dub was handled by Funimation. The TV series serves as a prequel to a series of six episode OVA shorts called Anime-Gatari. The OVA is centered around a college anime club, and was shown between films at a single theater.

Terrible Trio: The Student Council. They also triple as Beauty, Brains, and Brawn and Blonde, Brunette, Redhead. May even count as a cultured version of the Girl Posse. Tsubaki Akabane: Student council president, and main antagonist. Also the Beauty, the Redhead, and resident Alpha Bitch. Matsuri Toda: Student council treasurer, and the calm henchwoman of the leader. Also the Brains, the Blonde, and Beta Bitch. Ayame Osaki: Student council vice-president, and the impulsive henchwoman of the leader. Also the Brawn, the Brunette and Brainless Beauty (Downplayed; she is just reaaaally impulsive, loud and utterly devoid of subtlety).

Breaking the Fourth Wall
 Anime-Gataris / int_1e7487cd
comment
Breaking the Fourth Wall: Upon learning the principal looks nothing like the bust of him outside the school, the anime club blames his appearance on "the animation [getting] worse". Episode 11 completely shatters the fourth wall. Minoa suddenly becomes acutely aware of various anime conventions, like floating hearts and time skip montages. Nearly everyone else thinks she's gone crazy. By episode 12, the only thing she falls short of is recognizing Anime-Gataris itself.

Late for School: Downplayed in episode 1. Minoa initially freaks out over being late, but ends up sitting down with her family and has a relaxed breakfast before heading out. She's also already a month into her school year, so she wasn't in a need to rush. Episode 11 invokes this trope when Maaya runs late, thanks to reality rewriting its rules to match anime.

Buy the school so you won't have to worry about that little obstruction anymore! The Anime club has to remind her that not every problem can be solved with money.

 Anime-Gataris / int_24321e44
comment
Only Sane Man: Minoa, while initially seems an airhead, becomes the only sane one when anime elements begin spilling into the real world. Lampshaded by Neko-Sensei later. Neko-Sensei counts too, even though he isn't human. Deconstructed in episode 11: Minoa is the only person who notices that the world is behaving in a way it isn't supposed to with visual effects having a visible physical presence in the world, characters art styles suddenly changing without warning and her friends and family begin acting differently to match the shift in genre. Rather than being Played for Comedy like in most other anime, she becomes terrified and breaks down crying, all while the world itself is still acting like the situation is hilarious.

comment
Mythology Gag: At the convention, a tabler asks his coworker if Erika goes to college. Her original incarnation in Anime Gatari actually is a college student. Erika thinks that Maaya is familiar when they meet, referencing their Gatari counterparts being in the Anime Club together. The entire last episode is this. The series resets to its original ideas, Minoa's development profile (along with Miko and what looks to be a stand in for Arisu) is shown in full detail, and Erika goes back to her original hair color from Gatari while Miko gets red-framed glasses like she had in the prototype.

Previously on…: The eighth episode opens up with a recap of the Anime Club's short production, and the problems they're having with the final stretch. The final episode includes a recap of the main events of the show since the beginning, but quickly becomes a gag recap when the narrator begins stating events that never happened. Minoa and Kouki call the narrator out on it.

comment
Five-Second Foreshadowing: When the gang is waiting in line at Comiket, Beibei is hiding among the background characters a scene before she meets Minoa and Arisu. Nakano actually manages to talk back to Neko-sensei at the start of episode 9, something nobody at that point besides Minoa has been able to do. One opening montage later, and the martial arts club is building a pyramid to fight on, something nobody at the school period has been able to do. Nakano's reassuring words to Minoa stop echoing after a point (as in, the words repeat, but they don't have an echoing effect) in episode 9, which makes Minoa realize that her actions were justified. The very next scene we see Nakano whispering advice into Gomon-Sensei's ear, making him go along with Nakano's questionable ideas. As the end of the episode shows, these aren't linked without reason.

Actor Allusion: Erika Aoyama is voiced by Anju Inami, whose best known role is Chika Takami, the plucky, hyperactive leader of School Idol group Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine!!. So what kind of character does Erika dress up as on episode 3? A Chika expy complete with a similar pose◊ to one of Chika's own◊ in SIF! It gets even better when you realize that Tsubaki, the student council president opposing the existence of the Anime Club which Erika is the leader of, looks, acts, and even has the exact same role (at least initially) as Dia, also from Love Live! Sunshine!! . Yui is asked to voice an obvious Megumin expy complete with Megumin's outfit and even catchphrase in the Anime Club's anime short for the Sakaneko School Festival on episode 7. Naturally, she and Megumin share the exact same VA: Rie Takahashi. Arisu lets out Chitose Karasuma's signature laugh in episode 7. "Gahaha!"

The Man Behind the Man: As much as Nakano does to merge the 2D and 3D planes, he has no real power to change anything. That belongs to the director; and while he doesn't do anything over the course of the in-universe story, it's implied that all of the happenings only occur due to his influence.

Stylistic Suck: The anime short the Anime Club came up with and show on episode 8 was shoddy at worst and mediocre at best, with very amateurish designs and animations and voicework of varying qualities, thanks to the unfair circumstances the student council put them in while the club was making it. It still manages to deliver its job well and got a huge applause from the crowd as a result for being a unique piece of work a bunch of amateurs came up with.

Metafiction: It's an anime about anime, so it was bound to delve into this at some points. The members even helpfully demonstrate some tropes as they discuss them.

Surprisingly Creepy Moment: Episode 11 has the fourth wall start crumbling as anime tropes and visual effects start blending into the real world. Minoa is the only person who is aware that this shouldn't be happening and is completely terrified of the events going on around her. Her reaction is Played for Drama rather than humor as she starts becoming paranoid about her friends and family's behavior.

Innocent Fanservice Girl: Miko only in the onsen episode. For the whole episode she happily jumps and jiggles around Kai in skimpy outfits while dreaming of Shipping him with Kouki. Of course, for the whole time Kai thinks she is interested in him (false) but doesn't think she is trying to make him have a look at the goodies (true). Miko does it sparingly even after the onsen's story, mainly around Kai or Neko-sensei. On a meta level, Yui. Every episode in the beginning part, she does innocuous things while the camera makes certain to focus on her juicy bits.

Mistaken for Gay: When Kai starts developing feelings for Miko, his floundering all over himself whenever he talks about it to Nakano causes Miko to think that Kai's fallen for him instead, not that she minds. What really sealed the deal was blurting his Anguished Declaration of Love in the wrong direction.

Serious Business: By the late series, anime as a whole becomes this to the public. Sakaneko students revere the Anime Club for giving them the specific anime their clubs/interests coalign with and modelling their behavior off of them. They even picket the principal for shutting the club down, and they're able to find a specific anime for a very specific situation and get it trending by just asking about it. It gets even worse when reality and anime start merging together; the whole school is willing to isolate Minoa at the mere thought of her not loving everything about anime, tantamount to saying she hated reality itself.

Lens Flare Censor: Known and referred to in-universe in this anime as "God Rays", something Minoa discusses early on in episode 6 with her friends when she brings up the anime "Girls and Tanks" which had them. Later on, she and the rest of the club get to see an actual "God Ray" themselves while on their trip...involving a naked Kai whose manhood is conveniently censored by a ray of light. Unfortunately for the rest of the girls, they still manage to get full view of it once Gomon-sensei's light goes off. Thank goodness Sebas was there to save the day though, if only briefly. When the cast is shown bathing, the male bath is the one with the God Rays while the girls' side is shown only from chest up.

Reference Overdosed: Being a show about an anime club, anime references were bound to be plenty. See their respective Shout-Out and Lawyer-Friendly Cameo pages to look at them all. Actually became a plot point and Deconstructed in episode 10: Ultra Katharsis Kortisi was filled with so many shout-outs and homages, and nothing else, that even its own director barely knew what he was referencing when the final project came out. The show was declared a mess and cancelled after a single episode.

Wham Episode: It's a pretty standard, if a little over-the-top, school club story for the first eight episodes. Come Episode 9, everyone at the school suddenly really gets into anime and incorporates it into their school activities. Episode 11: The barrier between the anime world and real world breaks down even further as Minoa becomes aware of special effects, jump cuts, and art shifts. The end of the episode reveals that Nakano comes from the anime world and is working with the director of the anime.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: A lot of the content for series within the series changes spelling depending on the episode, potentially losing the reference in translation: Ru:Zero is spelled as Roux:Zero at least once in the subtitles. The "useless goddess" of AnoSuba is written as "Akina" in the episode 6 subs unlike episode 5's more faithful "Aquina" spelling.

Art Shift: The anime the club produces and shows in Episode 8 deliberately looks more amateurish. In Episode 9, Nakano and Neko-Senpai demonstrate the Pastel-Chalked Freeze Frame while discussing it. Played for horror in Episode 11, when Minoa notices other characters suddenly shifting into an older art style. The end of the episode has her put on glasses that change everyone to look like they're uncolored keyframes.

Foreshadowing: A couple to the world's slow animefication: During Episode 1, we see Minoa go about her normal morning routine while her parents are reading the news, with one particular article having the quite abnormal topic of a working space elevator. The kind of thing that wouldn't be up and running in that day and age outside of anime. Kai Kai ends up blowing up the home ec room while baking, but he was neither reprimanded for it nor was he or the girls in there hurt by the explosion, much like a harmless exaggerated fiction gag. In the opening, only Minoa and Nakano have mirroring positions during the door sequence, and he's in the middle of the upperclassmen when they get focus. A secondary character like him wouldn't get that unless there was some importance to him later on. Such as, for example, hiding his status as the main antagonist. The fact that both Minoa and Nakano's doors resembled the one leading into the Anime Club closet also foreshadows where Nakano came from and how Minoa opening the door led to fiction spilling out of it. Also notice how Nakano gets to Minoa first for many of her pivotal moments, beginning with Episode 6. By giving her encouragement and steering her in the right direction, she's able to get back to the plot with no worries. By Episode 9, we see a more sinister version of this; he's actively making the plot go a certain way, without anyone realizing it until it's thrown in the audience's face. Nakano's nonchalant reactions to everything while everyone else emotes could be chalked up to him being the cool and collected upperclassman or him being the observer to the rest of the world's animefication. Nakano spouts off about wanting to blend the worlds of 2D and 3D together with little to no reaction, cluing the viewers in on both Nakano's true nature and how the world itself reacts to the changes happening to it.

Rousing Speech: Conversed and invoked during episode 3. Arisu is convinced that inspiring the crowd with dramatic and emotional lines is the way to earn their favor and maintain the Anime Club. In the hands of Minoa, it doesn't do much, but Kai's on-the-fly passionate speech does get people convinced. Ultimately, it doesn't have much of an impact, and it was a combination of the speech and some well-placed male interaction that earned the main crew their club back.

Weirdness Censor: Oh so very prominent. The world has some regularly weird goings-on, but the club barely registers anything wrong and goof around for several episodes. They don't really start caring until the world beats one of them over the head with the weirdness. Nobody sees or recognizes Neko-senpai despite not even bothering to hide himself. after a certain point in the story, nobody aside from Minoa finds it weird that they can interact with him either. The club doesn't find it weird when everybody suddenly wants to incorporate anime into their daily lives, even seeing it as just another part of routine. Played for drama when anime conventions start bleeding into the real world. Drastic changes are everywhere, entire personalities have been written over, and nobody but the resident Medium Aware girl knows it's happening at all.

By Episode 8, they begin to actively make the tasks more difficult by shutting off the club's contact with other clubs and forcing them to fill up a field-sized venue for their exhibit in the School Festival.

Otaku: They cover all types in this series. Miko is a Light Novel otaku, Erika is into cosplay, Nakano is a huge idol fan, and we have Minoa's father, Arisu, and the principal for anime/manga otaku.

comment
20 Minutes into the Past: Given the anime expies airing as "current" anime, the story begins during the summer of 2016 while the series itself aired in Fall 2017. Outright confirmed in episode 3. In the final episode, the gang is now in the Fall 2017 anime season, given that Minoa's mom references wanting to watch A Sister's All You Need, the adaptation that actually follows Anime-Gataris in broadcasting. The universal reset places them right back in Summer 2016.

Guy on Guy Is Hot: Quite a bit of the female audience and Miko couldn't hold in their excitement when Nagoya helps up a eyeglass-less Kai after the latter makes his speech. According to Minoa later, a reasonable chunk of those girls voted in favor of keeping the Anime Club afloat. Any time Kai and Nakano get close together, Miko gets excited.

My Eyes Are Up Here
 Anime-Gataris / int_cd8c578c
comment
My Eyes Are Up Here: Downplayed and Parodied. In the onsen episode, Miko's plentiful chest is almost always in sight, resulting in many mixed feelings for Kai. Parodied because she not only fails to notice his eyes glued on her cleavage, but he is the one that actively tries to avert the gaze from the boobs almost slammed on his face.

Writing Around Trademarks: All the anime references get Parody Names, such as Hero School, Previous Genesis Everstrike, Autumn Wars, Donmachi, Yuri!!! on Nice, Timbre! French Horn, Show Up Rockin', and Ore-sama Monogatari. Minoa mentions Sweetness and Champion and Ange Visual in episode 5. The gang also goes to Comic Booth 90, a stand-in for Comic Market. Minoa's dad mentions Akibako when talking about how tough anime production can get.

Nobody sees or recognizes Neko-senpai despite not even bothering to hide himself. after a certain point in the story, nobody aside from Minoa finds it weird that they can interact with him either.

Actually became a plot point and Deconstructed in episode 10: Ultra Katharsis Kortisi was filled with so many shout-outs and homages, and nothing else, that even its own director barely knew what he was referencing when the final project came out. The show was declared a mess and cancelled after a single episode.

Red Herring

comment
The Anime Club decides to talk about the "Three Episode Rule" during their own Episode 3. It's also a bit of a Red Herring, as nothing remotely Wham-my happens during the episode. They save that for 6 episodes after.

Merged Reality: As a result of Minoa opening the club room door and letting out Neko-senpai into her world, reality itself started merging with the anime plane and resulted in anime conventions being incorporated into everyday life. Only when the anime world residents go back does the world return to normal.

Brick Joke: Kai Kai is the first person to call Nakano by his first name, even pronouncing its Alternate Character Reading correctly. Everyone else immediately goes with calling him "Aurora" from that point on. Fittingly for someone who knows that information, Kai Kai is the one to concept and give out naming options for his character in the new reality. Everyone in the club votes on "Aurora".
