Best Student Council — Gokujou Seitokai in Japanese — is the story of a down-on-her-luck parentally-abandoned girl named Rino Randou trying to make her way through life, or at least school. She enrolls at Miyagami Private Academy, an all-girls school, at the written recommendation of the shadowy "Mr. Poppit", assured that everything including room and board will be taken care of — only to see that the apartment which had been provided for her had been burned down by a rampant arsonist. So, with only her clothes, luggage, a few yen, and her puppet - named Pucchan - to her name, Rino has only one option: Become a member of the student government in order to gain the free room and board at the school dorms afforded only to members of the Best Student Council.For the most part, Best Student Council is quite episodic, and tends to focus on a single character per episode. Barring the beginning, which causes many people vague recollections of My-HiME., Best Student Council is a schoolyard comedy with drama at a few key moments. Don't expect too much seriousness out of a series that has a talking hand puppet as a major character, though.The Japanese title is a contraction of the ending phrase of the narration: "Gokudai Kengen Hoyuu — Saijoukyuu Seitokai".Dubbed by ADV Films, and released in early 2007.

Heroic BSoD: This happens to the entire Best Student Council after Kanade announces her withdraw from Miyagami Academy. Rino, Nanaho, and Kaori are hit the hardest by it.

Those Two Guys
 Best Student Council / int_1c79ae8c
comment
Those Two Guys: Or That One Girl — Oume Ayumu, who doesn't even get named in the credits. Ironically, having Rino join the Student Council was her idea. She loses this status when she gets scouted to become an idol in episode 20. Should it also be pointed out she was always in the credits to begin with?. More traditional members of this trope are two classmates of Rino and Ayumu, fittingly named Eiko and Biiko, who have speaking parts for the first two episodes, and are never heard from again. Let's not forget about Rein and Saiyuri!

Evolving Credits: The faces of the two members of the Covert Squad are revealed in the episodes after they are introduced. In addition, the pre-credit intro evolves as well, adding members to the Student Council line-up after they join the council. Rino is added for episode 2, Minamo is added for episode 14, and the remaining Covert members are added once they are revealed later on.
