* AdaptationExpansion: The whole series serves as an expansion of various Touhou lore that's only been referenced here and there. Additionally, it also fleshes out character backstories in various ways. As an example, it adds to Flandre by showing her and Remilia's early life, how they were outsiders among their kin in youth with Flandre being hit especially hard and then they had to flee when the witch-hunts kicked off. Eventually they found shelter with a nun who sadly ended up targeted by the hunts and killed in front of Flandre resulting in the awakening of her powers and decent into madness.

''Hifuu Club Activity Record ~ The Sealed Esoteric History'' is a ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' {{fanime}} series made by the Chinese circle [[http://kyotofantasytroupe.net/?lang=zh_cn Kyoto Fantasy Troupe]].

The series focuses on Renko Usami and Maribel Hearn of the Secret Sealing Club from Music/TouhouZUNsMusicCollection, as their research leads them to explore the backstories for various members of the ''Touhou'' cast.
----
!!''The Sealed Esoteric History'' contains examples of:
* AscendedExtra: Renko and Maribel are the focus of the series as opposed to Reimu and Marisa like most other ''Touhou'' fanime projects. Lampshaded at the end of the first and second episodes where Reimu gets upset that she didn't appear and Marisa has to remind her that they're not the main characters of this particular series.
* TheCameo: Two women resembling Reimu and Marisa are seen during part of the first episode (which amusingly invalidates Reimu's complaints in TheStinger about not appearing).
* CurbStompBattle: The first episode depicts Yukari's attempt to invade the Lunar Capital and well... [[ForegoneConclusion it doesn't go so well]].
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: It has been stated that the first episode is meant more as an opening for the series than an actual episode, so differences are to be expected later down the line.
* OriginalCharacter: The series creates new characters to fill in roles necessary for the backstories of the pre-existing ''Touhou'' cast, such as other Lunarians in the first episode to fill up the royal family and infantry, and the second episode introduces Sanae's sister Yayoi so that someone will be able to tell Renko and Maribel about Sanae's past.
* OriginsEpisode: The main idea behind the series is that it develops the backstories of various ''Touhou'' characters based off of canon information and filling in the gaps with original content.
* ProductPlacement: During episode 1, there is a shot showcasing posters for several Yonder Voice albums, the group that creates the music for this series.
* TheStinger: The first two episodes feature scenes after the credits in which Reimu complains about her absence and Marisa tries to comfort her.
