I'm cried thinking there won't be another GJ-Bu next week. This show really gave me relaxing feeling which most another SOL cannot. I'm going to miss this anime a lot.

9/10

This score might be pretty ridiculous, but this is just exception because this show is my favourite club related SOL.

this was a good example of a show that knew exactly what it could and could NOT achieve, and stuck to what it did best.

I'll be missing this show even though it was nothing that special, it was well done and very relaxing and enjoyable. I wouldn't mind a second season because it isn't bad by any means but I'm not expecting one.
5/10.

This, aside from Tamako Market, had a relaxing atmosphere, every scene in every episode was really interesting. Though no plot, but it gave me something to smile about until the end. I'm going to miss this.

8/10.

This show wasn't anything too special, and I didn't really care for it too much at first, but the characters really grow on you. I wish we could have seen a little more out of Kirara, but I guess it's fitting that she didn't really talk much, huh?

For a SoL, this is one of the worst I've seen. This is totally inferior to other SoL seitokai no ichizon/yakuindomo, Nichijou, azumanga daioh, Yuru Yuri etc..
Laughter is what I look for when it comes to plotless SoL but I just can't find the comedy funny in this series.

A very disappointing 6/10

That happens in most animes I saw for characters who are supposed to be native English speakers, maybe they just can't afford the right seiyuu for them.

Well, this type of SoL where something that could be really happen in our daily life without anything get exaggerated, so sometime I'm feel bored but it's an easy-going anime that is not too energetic and slow pacing. Not like nichijou nor Yuru Yuri that like a show of Boke & Tsukkomi.

'Tis a common mistake non-slice of life fans have when it comes to shows like this. The point isn't to make you laugh; otherwise, they'd suck so much ass.

They're meant to simply be relaxing and easy to watch. Kind of like a wind-down before you go to bed or something.

Also, a 6 is a disappointing score for you? I rated this a 5 and that's still pretty good to me.

This depends on how the person wants to grade animes I'm a generous grader, I easily give 10/10 to lots of animes. By looking at your list, you seems to be a harsh grader when you don't even want to give 10/10 to your favorite animes.

This last episode made me cry... maybe because I'm flashing forward to having to say goodbye to so many of my friends when they graduate college this year.
Good solid series. I have to give it a 7 if only for the overall quality and slow/nonmoving patches in the art.

Just finished watching this show and was amazed at just how the whole series felt. There was such a relaxing feel throughout coupled with a genuinely enjoyable MC, I loved every episode.

I just wish this show could have gone on for longer, they passed a whole year in the space of a few episode while still somehow making me feel like I was saying goodbye to friends during the graduation ceremony. I would hate to know how I would feel if this show lasted 24.

Ah, I see.

I'd argue that this partgicular show isn't trying to be a comedy/slice of life combination. Yes, It does have comedic elements, but I don't feel it's trying to go for that approach as its style.

It would seem that you have not watched Hidamari Sketch, but that show is almost exactly like this one (except more toned down and slice of life-y). It's made me laugh a number of occasions, but I still don't classify it as comedy show.

It just seems wrong to me to group Gj-Bu with something like Nichijou, Lucky Star, or School Rumble which are constantly throwing gag after gag at you.

Indeed, ratings do vary widely, I see.

My scores are based on possible rewatch value as well as my overall assessment of it (in the future if I don't remember much of a show, I use those numbers to give me an idea of what shows I would most like to rewatch as well as a quick little reason).

As much as I'd like to give my favorites perfect scores, I still don't consider them perfectly rewatchable or the best thing ever made or anything like that. I just have this connection to something like Chuunibyou (Season II Baby!!!) moreso than to something some may consider objectively better like Swort Art Online or Guilty Crown Steins;Gate.

But to each his own, I'd say. Either way, I fucking love Gj-Bu.

this show did really turn out better then I thought even after starting it I had my doubts but it was worth it. sadly I read it was really close to the novel which ended so there probably will be no sequel to it. the ending was pretty good only disappointed that Kyouya or Mao didn't confess even if I was not hoping for them to get together it was obvious so I expected at least the confession but still 8/10.

Fun anime to watch. It's pretty relaxing watching it too.

Though I'd actually like a little romance involved....like maybe Mao or Megumi get together with Kyouya. That would have been sweet.

Any other anime that had this type, I would stop watching halfway through, but for some reason this anime kept calling me back to watch it. I don't know if its the Kawaii art style or the funny moments but I will remember this. I would of loved it if they added a tiny bit of romance between Megumi and Kyoro, even if it would be at the very last episodes final minutes. But hey, material for season 2 right here. =)

Also Kyoro is by far one of my most favorite MC`s. =)

Episode 5/5

Ahh that was a nice cute series which I did enjoy at the moments.

I decided to watch this series after seeing a Megumi meme labeled I will kill you so hard you will die to death. but her voice was not what I expected thats for sure.

Also that OP got me everything lol.

7/10 from me.

Heartwarming and calm funny series, I had good times watching it. The ending left me asking for more but wasn't bad, overall. I like those characters, I really do. Hopefully, this spring we get second season.
(though it's shame Kirara, Shion and Mao left - Shion was the best girl)

Sad to see this show end. All of the characters were very likable. Show was surprisingly funny. It was a good thing I picked this up again after dropping it half way through the first episode last year.
The ending graduation was excellent, I could feel what Kyolo felt. :( Reminded me of the graduation episode in Sakurasou.
Episode is 5/5. Overall was very good! 8/10

Looking forward to the sequel, too bad it was announced to be a special rather than another season. But I'll get to see these awesome characters again.

To be honest, this was the first anime of its kind that I've survived all the way through. I was surprised by how much it reeled me in, especially the second half of the series. Loved all the characters in their own way. Glad to see those spins in the last episode. ;)

Pretty great ending I must say, quite loved this whole series as it had a really lovely set of characters and a great pacing! Together with some really nice atmosphere and hilarious moments this sure made it a great anime to marathon this night! So let's see what the special has to offer but as far as this series goes a solid 9/10 for me!

I'm so sad to see this show go. It seriously tugged on my heartstrings the whole way through and reminded me heavily of my own experiences in highschool and early on in college. Which made this last episode extra tough for me because it echoed my own graduation from highschool... I'm barely holding back the tears.
9/10 because a little more character development would have been nice.
