Was a fun show while it lasted. A bit overused on the jokes and nothing happened from start to finish but the cute visuals made it enjoyable to watch for me. Was gonna give it a 6 but since Shion spun this episode, I'll throw up it to 7.

I thoroughly enjoyed this anime, the only time I became sad was the graduation ceremony in this episode.

Whether we'll get a second season/ova/special or not remains to be seen. Perhaps the one with Kasumi and Co in Middle school? Whatever happens though I'll definitely re-watch this at some point. =)

The artstyle was dangerously cute. The characters were OK. The voice cast was mediocre. Shimono Hiro didn't seem to fit this really toned down and mellow comedy; I'm used to hearing him getting hurt in more painful, hilarious ways while screaming. Uchida Maaya was a good Mao, her voice was addictive. Uesaka Sumire was kinda cheated out; Tama should have been a main role. Her voice work here was fine, but paled in comparison to Sane from Chuunibyou.

Other than Uchida Maaya and Kyoro no imouto, the voice cast was bland. A lot of it has to do with the fact that it had a lot of rookie voices. I'm not saying they're bad, it's just that they lack experience.

This anime was really mellow. The comedy wasn't strong; when there were jokes that I kinda thought were amusing, I guess the anime didn't seem to believe it was funny and kept this toned down tone. Overall, it was satisfactory, but GJ-bu needs to follow through and be more bold. There's no fun in comedy if the cast sounds monotone.

Generously, 6/10.

Wait what? That's the end? Oh god the graduation was so tear jerking T.T Had some final moments with the seniors of GJ-Bu. Though my favorite is still Megumi's moment :) ahhh no maid spin again~ but we had other spins! xD

Here's the big question... will there be a season 2? I really hope there's one! Please tell me there is! ><

Sad this is over best girl (Shion) left! 7.8 for me even if it had some slow parts it was still relaxing to watch

Guess they do have room for new first years if they make a S2 and its not like the girls can't pop up once in a while everyone else did during this season lol.

Kirara is immune to Kyoro hair brushing attack that even cannot blocked by Mori?!

maid-spinning(s) by them is cute especially Shion..

There end my weekly slice of life comedy...
this feel a little sad...


However,the novel started a sequel 'Middle school Gj- Bu' with a brand new plot with Kyouro sister and her friends Gj-bu(Gj club)..Hope for a season 2!!

awww...I really wanted to see more Kyoro and Mao moments. Too bad it's not a romance anime. :(

Still the club activities and stuff and all that comedy was really enjoyable. As I thought...they didn't really explain the whole "coward" thing from the last episode.

GJ-bu was worth the watch but nothing special. It was really casual and fun, and it I had my laughing moments too!! I liked the Kirara and ~whats his name~ part. And I love the ending, a very happy ending ^^ Was really nice.

That was such a good series.

I find myself looking forward to watching this show every week because of how enjoyable and relaxing it is to watch them.

Shion was cute when she was shocked of the jackpot thing.
It was surprising to see Kirara talking in full sentences lol, along with that cute cat ears.
Mao didn't get much interactions though but the ending of how she passed the presidential rights on to Kyoro was really touching.
Megumi is still my have because of how fluffy her personality is and it was nice seeing her back to back with Kyoro. The group photo even had them looking like a couple IMO. I'll miss you so much megumi.

The ending was really sad with 3 of them graduating that I cried so much. It's sad that the LN is so short.

All in all. A truly enjoyable watch that bought me joy every week.
It sad that such a good series has ended. 10/10 for me.

This anime was so casual & cute, I found myself surprised that I was actually engaged since there was no real plot. I really like all the characters (mainly Kirara :3) & it was just fun to watch. It was a good anime imo, nothing to go crazy over but still enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this anime. Definitely one of the best animes I've watched in the winter 2012/2013 season.

I did expect Ore-man and/or Mori to make their final appearance around the time of the GJ-club graduation ceremony but sadly no :'(

They all got a turn with Kyouya and a very nice send-off at the end. Farewell GJ-club, it was a fun ride!

Overall a nice feel-good series, with good comedy. 7/10. :)

It tried to end on a high note, but I still feel very sad that it's over. I loved the private time spent with Shion. It was an enjoyable scene and she looked great in her winter wear. Best girl hands down.

For the first half of the series, I'd say I was addicted to this show. Things started to go downhill once the new club member was introduced and to be honest, I still don't see the point in her inclusion. Apart from that, I loved watching it (despite moments in the club room where nothing happens) because the I felt close to the characters. They were a joy to be with and so were the imoutos later on. Geraldine was too cute with Kyoro.

The OP had a great rhythm to it, I always enjoy hearing the song. Loved the multiple ED's too, particularly the one featuring Shion and the last ED.

7/10. A surprisingly pleasant slice of life show.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Let me rephrase my line,
For a SoL+comedy combo, this is one of..(what i said earlier)

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.
