Hey there! I've just joined this forum because I thought if anyone could help me find what I'm looking for, it's you lovely people :)

One of my favorite genres is high school comedy, but I can't seem to find many good ones that don't heavily rely on romance, which is one of my least favorite genres. So, I'm wondering if you can recommend some high school movies or TV shows that are NOT centered around romance or relationships. Comedy, friendship, sports - those are my favorites. I prefer light, slice of life centered media, but I'm fine with most anything. 

My favorite movie is Secrets in Hot Spring, so if you can think of anything along those lines, that would be awesome. Any recommendations you can give me are much appreciated!

I second GTO (the original one from 1998).

GTO (both versions). That one from 1998 is more popular. Now I watch the remake and it is also good and a bit different.

Waterboys (2001)

Swing Girls

Maybe Samurai High School (I have not seen it yet)
