lol, funny list. I was part of the Student Council both in middle and highschool--and it's nowhere remotely even close to being as exciting as anime depicts it to be.

WHAT, you mean some anime doesn't depict real life accurately? OMG don't let word get out the anime industry will collapse!

Because narratvely, those are two very different things from what are typically separate genres.

Also because frightening student councils are way more common in most stories with student councils than funny student councils who do not antagonize the main characters.

The JoJo poll is bound to be skewed by access as Jotaro has had the most appearances/focus in localised media and Joseph is just the best but yeah, I'll rolling with Joseph even if Jotaro has been growing on me a bit.

You know that Josuke from Diamond is Unbreakable and Josuke from Jojolion are different people, right?

Not sure if I agree with the Earth Conquering Club being on the list. For one thing, we're four episodes into the series. They haven't done much other than pick a couple of students out and made them into Monsters of the Day. Physical violence and backstabbing, characteristics that are present further up the list, are altogether absent (thus far) with this series. I can appreciate you trying to make it relevant with the current season stuff, but, yeah, they don't belong on this list.

It's also really hard to take the cute hedgehog seriously as a villain.

Speaking of which, I should watch Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE!, reading the description on this article. The idea of an evil green hedgehog makes me immediately think of Scourge the Hedgehog from Archie's Sonic comics.

I'm so relieved and glad that they didn't put Medaka Box up in here. I was going for Kill LA kill and maybe Tenjou Tenge. Embarassed

Why? Although its the discplinarian squad not the student council that is actually antagonistic, they pretty much rate well above pretty much anyone on this list. Plus they are twisted, abnormal, etc.

With all due respect to Kill La Kill, just because something is more recent doesn't make it the de facto best thing.

Ōsai Academy's can be frightening at times, as well, but for different reasons.

Man, I'm gonna say Jotaro is best Jojotagionist, but yeah, I know the poll is gonna be close for that for the other Jojo's in the vote, but anyone else is fair game, I thought the poll was gonna mention Antagonists, and we all know everyone is gonna pick Dio, lol.

Anyways, on topic, I though this list would have meant something like the show "Best Student Council" or something, but as I remember, I don't think that kind of council is actually frightening or anything, just a thought though. Anime dazed
