GJ-bu

School clubs usually advertise their activities, but the goings-on of the GJ Club are a mystery. Kyouya "Kyoro" Shinomiya recently joined and became the sole male member of the five-person club.

Besides Kyoro, there is Mao Amatsuka, the club president who has a tendency to bite Kyoro when she gets mad or bashful; Megumi Amatsuka, Mao's composed younger sister who always makes tea and desserts for the club's members; Shion Sumeragi, a demure chess prodigy; and Kirara Bernstein, a meat lover with a strong feline personality. All four girls have some form of interest in Kyoro.

With the girls' idiosyncratic and cute personalities, Kyoro's time in GJ-bu will never be a dull one, for better or for worse.

Recommendation: A must watch for fans of slice of life cute girls. It's exactly what it advertises. The characters and comedy are both great. Not recommended if you're bored by slice of life or shows with no plot.

There's not much to really say about GJ Club overall, it takes a familiar formula (high school students in a club that does nothing but goof off all day long) and just executes it to perfection. The main cast is full of interesting and lively characters, the different situations they get into are creative and fun, and there are some funny ongoing bits like ...

Mixed Feelings

*Spoilers ahead.*

What brought me here? Lots of internet clips, and always wanting to watch it even before that. What did i expect? Club/student council/normal school slice of life, hopefully with a lot of moe and possibly some story and/or humor to go with it, like Azumanga, seitokai yakuindomo, school rumble... Or at least yuyushiki, Boku wa Tomodachi, even the somehow lower ranked Seitokai no Ichizon or Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!, which where at least entertaining to watch. What did i get? A bit of moe, absolutely no story, nearly no humor. Need i explain further why i found this to be a ... disappointment?

Let's go over stuff one by one. Story. There is NOTHING here beyond the mc getting to know the other girls, which he already somewhat knows at the start. And then they goof off (mostly either do boring day to day stuff, or bully the MC, or have him slightly tease the girls) and graduate, trying to make it a bit emotional, but ultimately fail... The end. They managed things a bit better in the ova/movie, which is why i rated it higher, but not by much, also it doesn't affect this review.

Art. Good, nothing amazing. Sound. Good, nothing amazing either.

Characters... Medeocre-decent. First you have the tiny, loud, full of herself, annoying tsundere that bites mc every time she's annoyed. Also is club president. Rather plain, rather boring aside a couple select moments. Next her sister. A polite girl, who works hard on deserts for the clubroom and making tea, and is concerned about her weight, with literally nothing else to her personality. Next is the more decent ones - a genius chess player 'cool beauty' type, who lacks common sense, and a Canadian catgirl... THING... That sadly spends most of the show in the background eating meat, barely gets to talk, but at least the scenes she does get are decently amusing.

There's a couple more side characters that might as well be main because they show up more and more later, but they're not worth any mention because they're extremely plain and even more one dimensional, including the MC who's your dense 'average anime protagonist', except his beta factor is off the charts, being one of the most pitiful excuses for a man you'll see in most anime.

The joy? Mediocre, as i said, i was expecting moe, some story, possibly light romance, maybe some comedy. And while there is some moe, the story goes nowhere, there's barely even any hints of romance, the best comedy bits you'll come across are 2-3 instances that might make you smile at most.

Is it a good show? No, it doesn't have anything remotely interesting about it, and i really can't recommend watching it unless you're really a hardcore slice of life and school fanatic. Can i say its bad? Well, not really, though with how uneventful, average and forgettable it is, you could say it is bad from its sheer averageness.

Not recommended, 5.8/10. The ova/movie is better because something actually happens and there's some emotion involved, at about 7.1/10, but i still don't recommend watching it because you'd need to watch this first.

This show pulled me in with the art. Its light and pretty and all the reviews seem to be surprisingly high. So i thought I'd give it a shot. The first episode didn't land for me so I kept watching and watching until I had finished the entire series.
I felt like I had wasted my time with this one. Its like a dumbed down version of every Slice Of Life anime out there. Nothing really happens, there's no conflict, character development,obstacles or anything. This in itself is fine. but paired with the fact that these characters are so boring it just makes for 12 episodes ...
